“Erika is the best! After a terrible experience with a previous boarding, I can definitely say that this has been an overall great experience! I received plenty updates and pictures, and I can tell that my puppy had a great time as well. I will recommend Erika to anyone, and will definitely be using her services again!”


“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”


“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”



“a much longer away from home than usual, 2 weeks. but Thelma came through again and kept Layla safe and HAPPY. great communication while we were on the road. highly recommend ....”


“Dr. Hope is the first sitter that has completely put my mind at ease. I know my doggies are well cared for while I’m out of town and they are always excited to go there. I highly recommend her!”


“Audrey and Joseph took excellent care of my cavalier King Charles spaniel. They were very patient with her. I will definitely use them again for dog sitting.. Highly recommend.”


“Avri watched my pup for a little over a week while I was on vacation and she was wonderful! Asked important questions about his normal routine, was very accommodating to my dog’s comfort and needs, and kept in contact throughout my vacation updating me with pics! I appreciate all her care while I was away 😊”

“Catalina did great with my lab! She made sure to ask questions and keep me updated with pictures/videos of my dog. Catalina also kept my pup active playing fetch with him in the fenced in backyard. Will definitely not be the last time I have her watch my dog!”


“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”


“Both Lori and husband Jim are very much dog lovers. Our pet Xena was well taken care of and it was obvious she enjoyed her stay. Pictures sent showed Xena was pampered just as much with Lori as she is at home. Will definitely book Lori again the next time we have an out of town trip.”


“Jessica was amazing!!! I nervously left my chihuahua and her three 5 week old puppies with Jessica while I was on vacation near her. She kept them safe, socialized them and generally treated them like they were her own. She was organized and helpful. Jessica kept me up to date with information about how they were doing and sent regular photos and videos. I highly recommend Jessica as a sitter.”


“Abbigail & Jared are simply amazing. I have used Rover several times and everyone has been nice, but I never felt that ONE place that felt right for my dog. THIS is the place! They took such good care of Rocky. They took him with them as if he was their own, and did everything they could to include him in all the fun. So much so, that when we got home he was moping around staring at the door missing his girlfriend (their dog) and his new "other" family, lol. Couldn't recommend them enough!”


“Paul made this a great experience for me. Leaving my dog for the first time for more than a couple hours was a little scary for me. He sent pictures every day showing how happy my dog was. He got one on one attention got to swim in the pool and lots of walks. Thank you so much Paul for making my dog Gronk feel right at home.”


“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”


“Lisa was Awesome! She made sure our little Maple Rose was loved on while we were away. Lots of cuddles and playing. We received updates and pictures every day! We definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again.”



“Tina, Keith, and Tahoe were amazingly kind and loving hosts to our pup while we were traveling for a month. Trustworthy, communicates very well and often, and even handled managing a hurricane 🌀 evacuation while we were gone. Highly recommend.”
