1. Matt & Nicole L.

“Matt and Nicole are the ideal sitters you could ever dream of! I wanted to find a boarder with whom I felt my golden doodle had a safe, fenced-in, clean, and loving environment while we’re out of town. They went above and beyond! These are genuine people who truly love animals and will treat your pet as their own with all the love, respect, and attention you’d want for your furbaby. After staying about 8 overnights with them now, my dog runs to them both as if they’re extended family. I couldn’t feel more comforted knowing my puppy-girl is well cared for and loved while I’m not able to be there. If you’re looking for a sitter, these are your people! Look no further - they’re also wonderful at sending lots of great updates and photos. You will NOT regret booking with them! We will also plan to rebook with them in the future! 🐾💕”

“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”


3. Christian W.

“Christian is absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Auggie. They play fetch, go for walks, and socialize with neighborhood pups. He keeps me up to date with notes, pictures and videos. Highly, highly recommended Christian!!”


4. Karla L.

“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”


5. Mary G.

“Mary was the best! After our meet & greet I knew it was the perfect home for Honey to stay for the weekend. She was so welcoming, friendly, informative & honest. She sent updates with text, pictures, and videos of Honey. Mary’s home felt safe & easy for Honey to adjust to. I can’t thank her enough for taking care of our puppy so well. Honey was so loved & well taken care of. Mary truly made us feel like we were simply leaving Honey with another family member!”


6. Summer H.


“This was our First time using a Dog/ Puppy Boarding Service for our Milo. Summer was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable.She communicated with us and sent pic’s. Milo was such a happy Boy when we picked him up. Thank you Summer for not only your service but making our Milo feel like home away from home …”


7. Maya S.

“Maya and her family were great with my senior dog, Auggie. They came for a meet and greet to my house prior to the stay, and then picked him up him off as he isn’t able to get into my pick up truck anymore. Maya was great with sending pictures and keeping me up-to-date with his activities. I got an earlier flight home and they even accommodated bringing my pupper back to me sooner than we had originally discussed. Great people and would highly recommend Maya for any of your fur babies.”


8. Holli W.

“Our 2 dogs (9yo black lab & 1yo golden doodle) have stayed with Holli three times. Every time, Holli has sent us daily pictures and updates of how our dogs were doing. She is a great communicator and we can tell our dogs LOVE staying with her. I highly recommend Holli for your pups!”


9. Skyler A.

“Skyler was a wonderful doggy sitter. She was very accommodating- even being available for a drop-off very early in the morning. She gave me updates on how my puppy was doing and shared sweet pictures of him. Her home was ideal for dogs that love socialization like my pup does as she had two other dogs for him to play with the whole week. Overall, we were very pleased and will definitely be using her services in the future!”


10. Luz M.

“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”


11. Joanne R.


“I was very nervous about leaving my boy with anyone, especially since he’s my service animal! I received pictures and updates while I was away but when I picked him up, that’s when I truly knew he had enjoyed his stay. He didn’t run for the door to leave, instead, he didn’t want to leave!!! Thank you Joanne and Tilda for taking such good care of my sweet boy.”


12. Sydney S.

“Sydney was a great sitter. She communicated well and responded quickly to our request. She welcomed a "get to know you visit" so that our dog could meet Henry her cat. She updated us with photos and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We will certainly use her again.”


13. Angela & Jorge G.
“Angela has cared for my pups on multiple occasions, and I always feel confident leaving them in her care. She’s incredibly caring and trustworthy, always making sure my dogs are safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m away. She genuinely loves animals - she has three of her own dogs and has rescued many stray dogs, even managing to find some of them loving new homes. If you’re looking for someone reliable and loving to look after your pets, Angela is the perfect choice!”


14. Tiffany & Kirk P.

“Tiffany and Kirk are absolutely wonderful. We were able to fully relax on our family vacation because we knew our pup was receiving the same love and attention we give her at home. I appreciated the pictures and videos Tiffany sent throughout Mildred’s stay. Mildred had so much fun that we’ll be sending her back for doggy daycare in the near future ❤️”


15. Briana S.

“Briana and her fiance were such delights for our pup! Not only was she flexible with our schedules, but she also provided a warm and loving space for Bayou during a natural disaster. We can't thank you enough!”


16. Yusel B.

“She was so great to our 2 dogs. Sent me pics and messages of how they were doing. Will use her anytime we need a sitter. Thank you very much Yusel.”


17. Skye B.

“Skye has come over and let our pups out, loved on our kitties and spent the night many times for us. For the first time for us, she picked up our dog biscuit and watched him for 4 nights! She sent me pictures, kept me updated on his fun times. I am so thankful we have skye in our life! Biscuit will be going back for the weekend in a couple weeks!”


18. Kyli U.

“Kyli was amazing the whole time we were away. She looked after our 2 dogs and sent us updates everyday and videos of them playing with her dogs. They looked like they had an amazing time which made us happy. I 100% recommend Kyli for your animals. :)”


19. Ginger L.

“She was amazing with our boy! He was very nervous at first but she made him feel welcome and safe. I loved getting pictures and a daily summary from her. She went above and beyond to make his stay enjoyable.”


20. Misty A.

“Misty was amazing! She loved my 2 puppies like her own! She sent pics while she had them and sent me messages about how they were doing. We are already booking with her again!”
