Recently our puppy stayed with Jordan while we were away for a week. During that time daily updates were given with photos. It was apparent that she really cares for all pets. Great interaction, great communication. Highly recommend.

If anyone is looking for a Dog sitter I would highly recommend Catherine! She was absolutely amazing with my puppy Roxy. Her communication with me during Roxy’s entire stay was excellent, never once leaving me in the dark about what was going on or what to expect. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!?

My dog Lana really enjoyed her stay at Barb’s house. I could tell because she crashed all afternoon after I picked her up. I will absolutely use Barb again the next time I need a sitter!

Nancy and Mark are such a God sent help for us! They did everything possible to help us feel comfortable leaving Champ while we went out of town for our Anniversary. They updated in such a timely manner it put us at ease constantly. Champ has seizures and liver problems so he is on meds and they were very concerned about giving it at the right time! I will be using them again! Champ loved being there! If you want your dog cared for right don’t look any farther! Thanks again Nancy and Mark!

I can't recommend Robert enough as a pet sitter! He took care of my dog, Bella, for a week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Robert is incredibly reliable, kind, and attentive. Bella, who can be a bit anxious around new people, warmed up to him immediately and had the best time with all the walks, play sessions, and cuddles. I received daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It’s clear that Robert genuinely cares about animals, and I’ll definitely be booking him again for future pet sitting!

Our Aussie Pup had a great day with Lindsey, Michael and Lucy. Our pup is a 6 month old tireless delinquent and slept for the better part of 24 hours after a 6 hour visit. She had an awesome time, and Lindsey did a great job of keeping us informed of all that was planned for the dogs. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job for us and our family member! Highly recommended!

My little Delilah felt right at home when we had our Meet and Greet. I had no concerns about leaving her with Madelyn after that. She was still excited to see me when I picked her up, but not so excited that I worried she wanted to leave and had a bad time. I have no doubts that Delilah was well cared for while I was away!!
