1. Alice b.

“Alice has watched our dog several times now. We trust her to take loving care of him, no matter his needs. She goes above and beyond! Great communication and pictures, helps us feel connected to our pup when we’re away. Grateful for her consistent care when we’re away.”


2. Cory W.

“Cory and his family of pets really did well taking care of my puppy and when she got home she was tired and happy for twenty four hours straight. She seemed happy both at drop off and pick up times; a blessing for us indeed!”


3. Madison P.

“Madison was amazing watching our dog, Gator. She sent tons of pictures and we were confident Gator was in safe hands with Madison. It is evident she cares so much about the pups she takes care of and best of all, Gator came home happy and tired. We won’t hesitate to call her again in the future!”




4. Evan H.


“Evan is a kind person. He communicates regularly and makes both the dog and it’s owner feel good during the stay. He kept in touch providing me updates and pictures. I felt very confident that Lynk was in good hands. Thank you Evan.”


5. Lisa S.

“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”


6. Sarah W.

“Sarah was wonderful and able to help us last minute which was much appreciated! Bruce had a great time and was well taken care of, and Sarah send pics throughout his stay which was awesome too! Definitely will book again!”


7. Alli D.
“Alli is a pro at walking/sitting dogs. She lights up when she gets to interact and care for animals. She loves all animals, but she has a soft spot for pups. You have probably seen her walking all over town with her own dog. She is the most responsible person I know & she has the biggest heart. Your dog will be in great hands with Alli.”


8. hannah s.
“Hannah is always great with my Lab Bailey. She is willing to help when I’m out of town; feeding or letting out. Bailey looks forward to play dates with her pups and enjoys going over there where it’s welcoming and fun!”


9. Cassidy W.

“Izzy had a great time and for right in. I got picture and video updates. Would definitely trust Cassidy with my fur baby again!!”


10. Carmen M.

“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”


11. Maricela V.

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”


12. Luis R.

“Absolutely recommend - great communication & updates (with photos)! We felt very confident leaving our dog knowing she was going to be safe and loved. Wonderful family & the perfect set up for dogs to have everything they need.”


13. Christy & Erkam N.

“Christy and Erkham were so great! Dilly had a great time and were so thankful we found a trusted caregiver for us! Thank you Christy & Erkham!”


14. Patricia T.

“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”


15. Braydon R.
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.




16. Lexi M.


“Lexi was so accomodating and took such good care of our dog, even taking her to a dog park! We really appreciated how comfortable she was around our dog, putting us and our dog at ease.”


17. Ashley W.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with our 4 American bullies. She came over the night before to meet them and get used to them. She came over 4 times to let them out and made sure they had sufficient time outside before letting them back in and locking up. She fed them dinner and let the. Out again. She also took care of our bearded dragon as well. 10/10 highly recommend.”


18. Jenine P.

“Jenine and her kids took great care of our dog and cat, on relatively short notice. From the photos and updates she sent, they seemed to be themselves and relaxed. We were grateful!”


19. Maura G.
“I could not recommend Maura enough! Maura takes the job of caring for your pet very seriously and is a true animal lover. My dog is an energetic pit bully mix from the SPCA, and may be a bit of a challenge for some dog sitters, but Maura handled him perfectly. Between her professionalism and passion for animals, I would choose her 10 times out of 10. She told me about her family’s retriever back home - so if you have a retriever breed I would definitely utilize Maura’s familiarity with the breed to be your pets caregiver if possible.”


20. Becky D.
About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.
