“Chanel was a guest with Min & Matt for a week! I got daily updates on her progress! She got lots of attention and great care! They treated her like family! She was spoiled rotten! I am so thankful I found these wonderful, kind, and caring couple! They are true animal lovers PLUS Min is a great photographer! She captured so many fantastic pictures of Chanel, I will be making reprints for my home! I am truly blessed to have found these folks I did not worry about Chanel the entire week I was gone!!’ I will use them again and again!💕💕💕”
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Kelly took excellent care of our 1 year old golden doodle pup!! She kept me up to date on how she was doing and sent cute pics which made me feel great knowing she was settled and enjoying herself while I was away. Would highly recommend!!”
“Joel and Janelle were wonderful hosts to our pups! We especially appreciated how much they communicated. Our dogs came home happy and look forward to staying with them again.”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Perfect family for Ace..He loves children ..Charity is very caring and was very understanding when I had a medical emergency and had my sister pick him up when I was in the hospital..The best”
“Chris and his parents were great! Such loving dog people who went above and beyond! They sent me frequent updates with pics and even sent him home with gifts and treats! Mojo seemed very happy and comfortable there :)”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“The Best Sitter in VA! She watched over our furry one for 3 yrs. We had to move due to military orders and it sucked to move away from a trusted person like Tamara. Highly Recommended.”
“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”
“Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Jennifer did such a great job caring for my pup when I was away! I received frequent photos and updates and could see how happy my dog was with her. Would highly recommend her services!”
“My Golden had a wonderful 2 week stay with Karen. She sent videos and pictures everyday. Her whole family is so sweet and she has a beautiful property! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“This was our second time having John and Jess watch our pup! They are the best sitters by far!! They sent multiple videos and photos throughout the day where we saw our dog having so much fun. We went camping for a few days without reception and I had zero worries that they were taking great care of our pup. When we got spots of reception, they were very quick to check in and it was so relieving to have lots of videos and updates waiting for us. Chance LOVES them and their puppies so much! He was so excited to see them again. He can’t wait for his next vacation stay with John and Jess!”

Another excellent stay with Ms. Min! When we arrived, Rani sprinted to the door and gave her so much love…it’s clear that Rani loves going to Ms. Min’s. Rani was there for a week this time while we traveled out of the country and Min, as always, shared so many pictures and videos of Rani having an absolutely amazing time!! It made us feel that she was being taken care of by someone who adores her as much as we do. Min also went above and beyond to ensure that Rani (who is a picky eater) ate her food and took her medications on time. She also bought our girl a new toy! Min also washed and packed all of Rani’s things and had them ready to go when we arrived to pick her up. Not all sitters go as above and beyond as Min. I’m sure Rani can’t wait to stay with her Ms. Min and Mr. Matt again soon!
Laura was outstanding! To come to her for the first time, when finding a new sitter for my dog Kenzie, she was super quick, easy-going, and welcoming. She provided plenty of updates and Kenzie loved playing with her dog Gin! Only sad thing was seeing Gin whining when we were leaving, but we will definitely be going back!
This was the first time we've used what we call "Kara's Kamp" for our dog Ellie while we were away on vacation and we couldn't be more thrilled with the care, love & attention she provided. Kara texted many photos during the time Ellie was under her care and it was obvious how comfortable Ellie was with Kara and the other dogs in the house. I don't think Ellie wanted to come home! Kara is a genuine dog-lover and it shows. We will definitely use her service again in the future and appreciate how much she cared for our 4-legged child while we were gone. Kara is a real assert to Rover!
