“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”
“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
“I recently had Laura watch my 100 lb Goldendoodle, Bogey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I picked him up, it was clear he had an amazing time—he didn’t even want to leave! Laura was fantastic about keeping me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. You could see in every photo that Bogey was happy, relaxed, and having a blast. Laura clearly knows how to make dogs feel loved and cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Rachel and her daughter took extremely good care of my fur-baby. Unfortunately, during her stay, my puppy had a tummy bug. I could not have asked for more compassionate or kinder carers than this family. She looked after my baby like it was her own. Forever grateful that she received the care that she did from such an amazing family.”

I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”

“Brook kept my Lucy for 6 nights, I am very happy with her service. She sent multiple pictures of Lucy during her time there ensuring she was having a good time.This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service as I’ve always been skeptical of leaving her with strangers.

Brent and David were so amazing with my dog, Maggie!! They were so kind, super flexible when I had to adjust drop off and pick up times, and sent the sweetest pics while I was gone! Highly recommend!!
I left my anxious older dog for a week for the first time ever. Em & Carl took such good care of him! He even had a snuggle routine before his meals. They sent pics everyday and my pup was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Thanks, you guys!
Natalie was great with my pup! Sent updates and was flexible with pick up and drop off. Would deff use again. The dogs got along great & she played fetch the whole weekend! When I picked up Jane she was whining to go back inside to play! Lol
Received several pictures during our trip, our boy came home happy and well loved while we were away! Easy to contact and quick to respond.
Ashley took loving care of Maddie as if she was her own dog. She kept in touch through text & photos. She expressed concern when Maddie was anxious over afternoon storms. We will definitely use Ashley in the future!
Finding Rosangela was the biggest blessing in the world! We immediately felt so comfortable leaving our senior chihuahua with her. We had a wedding in Europe and were gone for two weeks. She sent photos/videos and took the absolute best care of him. We will most definitely be using her in the future!
Anna was amazing with my dog JuJu. She was attentive to her and kept me updated throughout her stay to keep me at ease so I can enjoy my trip! I will definitely be booking with her again 🤗

Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!
