1. Garrah N.
“Such a sweet owner and dogs! Timber enjoyed it so much! She even replaced one of Timbers toys when her dog destroyed hers. Will definitely be using as my sitter from now on!”
2. Alexis C.
“Alexis watched our dogs, Harpo and Nash, for an entire month while we were out of the country. They’re big dogs with lots of energy, so we knew we wanted to have them in someone’s home rather than a boarding facility - but it’s always nerve wracking to pick the right sitter for them. Alexis was AMAZING, and we felt so comfortable leaving them in her care. My husband and I commented multiple times on our trip that we felt very lucky to have found her, as we were confident Harpo and Nash were being well cared for and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend her (although I‘m nervous to even write this review, for fear she will become so popular that we won’t be able to get in, which would be devastating for us! ?)”
3. Jennifer G.
“Jen is the sweetest most trusted individual I know! She has treated my dogs with nothing but kindness and respect and I am thankful for that. She is extremely responsible, reliable and safety conscious and as a dog mom, I think anyone would appreciate that when it comes to someone looking after their fur babies!”
4. Gabrielle S.
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog, Foxy. We received updates and pictures throughout the weekend. With the beautiful weather, Foxy got to go on a long walk and to the Vet's Home. We will definitely be utilizing Gabrielle's service again.”
5. Yomi K.
“We were just passing through for dinner in Hannibal and used the service so Rose would not be alone too long in the camper. Yomi fit us right in. Yomi is super sweet. Rose enjoyed her time with Yomi and Cory. Taking her on a walk and sending cute pics! Thanks!”
6. Madeleine A.
“Madeleine took great care of our dogs and was easy to work with! She kept us updated with photos and messages. We would recommend her for future care.”
7. Katie P.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life! Adopted my own dog about 5 years ago, a rescue that came with many challenges but has become a confident and loving dog! My fiancé and I adopted our own puppy about 6 months ago! I’ve worked to train him on basic tasks like walking, to more advanced and fun tricks! I work in college athletics, so while some seasons are really busy, I always have summer and breaks off! Flexible schedule during the school year. I take both of my dogs outside on the leash often for both bathroom needs, and walks. Our puppy crates well. They have 2x/day mealtimes, and water in multiple bowls available at all times.
8. Alicyn G.
“Alicyn was great, easy to communicate with and shared pictures/video during Mila's stay. Mila returned worn out (perfect for a high energy girl) and happy, she was sad to say bye!”
9. Collin C.
“Collin and Alexis were great with our 6 mo old bernedoodle who can be quite a challenge. We were able to enjoy our evening without worrying once about Bailey. I highly recommend them.”
10. Erin F.
“Erin’s charisma with our small dogs was outstanding! She will always be the one to take care of our dogs. Prompt, responsive and did exactly what was asked.”
