“Norma welcomed our Georgia in and made her feel at home. She also sent updates, videos abc pictures. Would definitely come back thank you!!”


2. Kim K.

“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”


3. Rebecca D.

“Rebecca was great watching my dog Roxy. It seems like she had so much fun playing in the yard with their dog Tullie. She slept for hours once she got back home. Would definitely use/recommend Rebecca and her husband.”




4. Jennifer E.


“Jennifer and her family are so amazing taking care of Windsor! Thanks for making him a part of your family! He can't wait to come over again soon. Thanks for being his home away from home. ”




5. Stella G.


“Stella and her husband Jim are fantastic! They watched our 2 VERY active Golden Retrievers for 9 days. She sent me daily pictures of them playing. They always seemed to be having a blast. I know my boys can be a handful but they never seemed bothered by their energy. Stella replied too all my txts and emails right away. You can tell they love dogs! I would give them 6 stars if I could. It was nice to go away and know that Tanner and Charlie were in good hands. I would take them back there in a heartbeat.”


6. Tommy & Julie F.

“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”




7. Angela A.


“Angela and Dave took great care of Mr Bubbles. We had a last minute cancellation, and had to book with them the night before we left on vacation. They were so nice and understanding. I felt so comfortable leaving our family dog with them. I got pictures and daily updates while he was with them. Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.”


8. John & Louis F.

“This was our first time having John take care of our dog while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier! John is so friendly, helpful and caring—he sent us photos and kept us updated on how our Penny was doing, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be back!”


9. Debbie K.


“Debbie and her husband took care of our frenchie (Benji) they were great, sent pictures of him and communicated constantly. Will def use them again. Thanks”


10. Jordan S.

“The absolute best! Jordan cared for our Bowie and especially our Senior Lola with the utmost care and attention. He was amazing with both dogs and we will use him again without question.”


11. Aidan M.

“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Aidan. We were updated w photos &/or videos each day to see how happy she was. She will be back with Aidan again very soon- one happy pup!”


12. Chisato A.

“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”


13. Elisa L.

“Elisa was the BEST dog sitter for my pup, Penny. I was caught in a bind and needed a sitter for my 6 month old puppy at the last minute. Elisa took such good care of her, and kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout her stay. She felt so comfortable knowing Penny was in good hands and felt safe with Elisa. I will definitely reach out to Elisa the next time I need a sitter! I can't thank her enough!”


14. Christy W.

“We only needed to book one night with Christy, but she still sent an update with a pic...and took our Temo for a little car ride! We appreciated her flexibility with drop-off/pick-up. We would recommend her, and would utilize her services again.”




15. Arelys J.


“I could not be any happier with the incredible care that Arelys provided while I was away. I booked a week of boarding with her and her incredibly kind pup -Ilsa. She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the week- all of which, showed how happy and loved my pup was while i was away. She went above and beyond to care for my dog and keep me posted. If i ever need a sitter again - Arelys and Ilsa will be my first choice. I look forward to working with her in the future and scheduling further training sessions as well!”


16. Jody B.
“I highly recommend Jody to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring dog groomer and overnight dog care. She knows exactly how to handle different breeds and temperaments. My dog always comes home clean, well groomed, and smelling wonderful. The level of service, kindness, and attention to detail is unmatched, and I'll definitely be using them again in the future!”


17. Connie S.


“This was our first time using the app and was a very pleasant experience. Connie was very kind at all times, from the moment we arrived and he welcomed our pet in a very warm manner to the way he kept us informed about her day, we loved to that she also used games to stimulate our pet's sense of smell and it is something that we will continue to use in the future. We have nothing more to say than that we are very grateful to Connie and her treatment of our pet. So, if in the future you are looking for someone to take care of your pet as if it were part of the family, don't hesitate that Connie is the ideal person for that❤️”


18. Elizabeth & Michael N.

“Elizabeth was very easy to work with and responded to my messages in a timely manner. Our dog, Cleo, seemed more at ease than usual when we picked her up. She has bad separation anxiety and does not do well everywhere. She was kind and loving with Cleo from the start. Yes, we would book with her again.”


19. Mary & Norman B.

“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”


20. Elena L.

“Elena was fantastic with my dogs. Very attentive with her care and communication. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to a friend”
