1. Amy A.


“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”


2. Michelle & David L.


“Michelle and David took wonderful care of Ginger! They sent so many great updates with pictures and videos--I never felt I had to reach out to request photos because they were so on top of this. They were also so sweet and went out to get blueberries to give Ginger as a treat, and they left the extras in the fridge for her! They were also really clean and respectful of our home--they took the trash out before leaving and offered to strip the bed. We've already rebooked them and I know Ginger can't wait to see them again!”


3. Ellie M.

“Ellie is great! She watched our 7 year old Sharpei/Beagle this past weekend for a partial day and night. She is very professional, kind, and it is apparent she loves dogs and they love her. We felt very comfortable with her in our home, and we appreciated the updates and photos/video she sent during our time away. We give her a high recommendation. Nancy Stratham, NH”


4. Kadence W.

“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”


5. Cassandra Y.

“Cassandra is WONDERFUL! My Gracie is a very reactive young dog, and Cassandra handled her very well from the very start. She gave me reports and photos throughout her stay with Gracie, and also showed me several very helpful tips and tools that I can use myself with my dog. Highly recommend!”


6. Emily G.

“Emily was great @ coordinating with both my mom and myself when we were both out of town (and my dog was staying with my parents.) She was able to handle my skittish little dude, and he was happy when the folks came home.”


7. Justine W.

“Justine was very easy to work with. She met me and our dog before her stay to help me and my dog get to know her. She took care of our house, even purchasing some items we ran out of. We will look forward to having Justin sit again on our next vacation.”


8. Jennifer W.

“Jennifer was fantastic! I was so nervous leaving my elderly dog, but I came home to a happy healthy spoiled little man. She was kind, patient and sent me pictures to relieve my worry. When you meet Jennifer you will know she’s the one that will take great care.”


9. Caley M.
“Caley took care of my mini schnauzer in my home over the thanksgiving holiday. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Great communication and I knew my baby was in great hands. Caley was especially good recognizing Veronica’s storm anxiety and helped her through that! I will definitely use them again.”


10. Janine C.

“Janine was so good with my dogs. She was flexible with her time. We booked her in last min and she was able to do what we asked from her. I have 2 dogs, one is senior(14), other one is 3. She knew how to look after 14 years old and She knew how to have fun with younger one.She sent so many pictures and those picture eased my mind. She was responding my questions quickly. I highly recommend her, she is really good and she is very friendly,respectful and trust person. We will work with her again.”


11. Kendra K.
“I have known Kendra going on three years now and she is a fabulous dog sitter! I wouldn’t be able to travel around the world unless I knew Maggie was home safe with Kendra. She is very responsible and I trust her completely with Maggie AND my home! Maggie clearly loves her too! 10 out of 10!”


12. Ryan B.
“Ryan not only has watched my pet multiple times, but is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. He doesn’t do it for the money he does it because he enjoys spending time with the animals.”


13. Priya V.

“We were very fortunate to find Priya for Christmas day sitting with my extremely anxious and fearful dog,Finn.He will continually bark at strangers to warn them away.Luckily for us Priya was up for the challenge. Of course,as soon as I left, Finn realized Priya was now his person and cuddled up to her.She was great at keeping me updated and sending adorable pictures. I was grateful to be able to spend Christmas with my family,without worries,knowing that Finn was in excellent hands and receiving the very best care.”

I have had the opportunity to observe the services provided to other dogs in her care and am always impressed with her inate understanding of, and abundance of love for, dogs of all breeds and ages, Sherrill is responsible, reliable, and professional. More importantly though, Sherrill has a unique gift, and we and the dogs are grateful recipients. I cannot recommend her more highly!”

“This was the first time we left our 5 year old doodle for a week with anyone other than family so we were a little apprehensive. Sandy took such good care of her, sending pictures and updates everyday. Her home is doggie heaven! Toys, treats and a lovely fenced in yard. Sandy is amazing and Maisy’s newest best friend!❤️ We highly recommend her!”
