4. Angie B.
“Angie was a LIFESAVER with our 7 and 3 year old lab and frenchton girls over Christmas! We had a meet and greet to discuss needs and concerns after initial booking inquiry and Angie was so optimistic about the stay at her home. During the stay, our girls had some anxiety and sick episodes but Angie was so attentive with updates and caring for them that put any worries at ease. The videos, pictures, and responsive texts made this first boarding/pet-sitting experience easy on both us humans and our dogs. Not to mention how Angie did all this over the Christmas holiday - I know Leia Pup and Penny loved their time with their "babysitter" watching Christmas movies and playing with other furry friends they made during the stay! THANK YOU ANGIE!”
5. Shannon F.
“Hi Shannon, Thank you for a great weekend! I had so much fun playing with your dogs on all that land! I was in heaven! Simba and I had so much fun! You were so nice to me and kept me company during some loud rumbling noises in the sky. I don’t like the light flashes either but you let me follow you when I was scared. My hoo-mans travel plans changed but you talked to them to make sure it all worked out and assured by sending pics of me being a good boy! I was so tired on the car ride home mommy and daddy were laughing that I snored so loud during a car ride!! I even woke my hooman baby I was so loud! (My head was on his feet) Thank you and I hope to visit again sometime! Love, Harlow”
6. Rachel M.
“Our active Golden got to stay with Rachel and Dolly for our trip to Europe. Rachel sent us pics everyday. He and Rachel’s dog played and got along very well. Rachel was aware of Javy’s need and tool time to discuss this with her. Very happy pup when we returned and he obviously seemed to be happy every day. I would trust Rachel with Javy anytime. Thanks Rachel!”

8. Brooke B.
“Brooke and her family were great with my pups! You can tell she really cares about my dogs and kept me updated with what was going on. This was my first time boarding either dog so it really helped to know that Brooke and her family were taking great care of and also enjoying spending time with my dogs. Definitely would recommend Brooke as a sitter. Excellent!”
9. Matt S.
“Our mini Aussie Penny always comes home happy and tired when she stays with Matt :) It's so great to have someone we can trust. We had trouble finding someone that knew how to deal with her separation anxiety and energy - she always seemed anxious/edgy for days after coming home from stays with other sitters. We don't have that problem anymore. Thanks, Matt and family!!”

13. Tori H.
About: I've had a dog since I was 6 years old. I currently have a lab that couldn't be more spoiled. I did have a dog that needed special treatment from allergies. I am mostly available Friday-Sunday at any time.. Available after 4 on weekdays. Would love to take your dog for a walk in the afternoon! I give pets my full attention. When they need fed, food is in the bowl. If any medication is needed, I can handle that. Time to go potty but no fence? I know how to handle a dog on the leash.
14. Kennedy B.
“Kennedy is super sweet. She shows genuine care and love to all animals and treats them like her own. Her focus on their needs and her dedication to their happiness and comfort is really impressive. If you want someone who will treat your pets with warmth and consideration, Kennedy is definitely the right person. Be worry-free knowing your furry friends will be well taken care of!!”
