“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”

“Evelyn was amazing! She was very accommodating. She cared for Charley as we would. Gave him lots of cuddles, walks, play time and so much more. She sent us pictures and kept us up to date with him. He loved her home and spacious fenced back yard. We would definitely seek Evelyn when we can’t bring our pup along. Thank You!”


“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”


“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”


“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”


“Yogi loved staying with Asya! She constantly sent photos and videos of my pup playing, on walks, and hanging out with her kids. They live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I will be calling Asya again in the future for more bookings!”


“Cj had a wonderful stay at Faith and Tanner’s place they send lots of pics I felt so at ease. Will definitely be leaving my boy with them the next time.”


“Brooke took fabulous care of our dog! She came to our home to pick up our dog, immediately showed that our dog would be in good hands, sent us photos and videos throughout her stay, gave our dog her medicine, gave her a bath, and even had a dance party. We will definitely put our dog in Brooke's care again.”



“Ashley is great! We had to go out of town for a week and Ashley watched our Miley girl, she loved her like her own and I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for Miley. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be using her again.”


“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”



“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”


“Lisa and Matt are wonderful people with a beautiful fenced-in yard and a house that is set up very well for pet boarding. They have pets of their own, so our fur babies have new friends to play with! They also make a point of not boarding multiple owners' pets at the same time without asking permission first. We plan to continue utilizing their services.”


“Leslie is a dedicated and responsive dog sitter! Her updates are thorough and frequent. And photos are great. My dog Fiona was very comfortable with Leslie and her cuddly Pug. Leslie really understood Fiona and I highly recommend her dogsitting!”

She was familiar with looking after young puppies and had all the patience in the world with our dog. She sent us photos of Murphy playing and having fun everyday. This was the first time we used her and we’ll definitely trust our Murphy with her again.”



“Charlotte did a great job with Peanut, and helped me out big, taking the request last min. I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch peanut again.”
