Colleen took such amazing care of Noli, she sent several updates, the cutest pictures and she even cooked her special food when our pup had a tummy ache. Noli came home very relaxed and happy to have met her new fur friend Nico. Thanks again Colleen!

Eric and Martha were so sweet to our dog Pluto while we were gone for the weekend! They made him feel like part of the family- he loved getting plenty of cuddles, yard time, and even tagging along for a couple of errands. They treated him like he was one of their own! We loved meeting them and can’t wait till Pluto can have another vacation at their house. :)

Amy did an amazing job making sure my senior dog got all the love and attention he needed. He is having a harder time moving around and she did not hesitate to help him. I sincerely appreciate her and feel extremely comfortable with bringing my old guy over to her place the next time I have to travel.

Timmothy is a great communicator! We didn't have a set schedule, and he was easy to negotiate pick-up and drop-off times with. Our daily proof-of-life photos were charming (and impressive, considering our dog is camera averse;). We look forward to working with Timmothy again.

Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.

Jacquie and Kyle provided excellent care to Henry. We appreciated the daily photos and communication. They notified us when they saw he was excessively licking at his paw, brought him into our vet to get treatment for an existing nail tear before it got worse with potential for infection. Would highly recommend Jacquie and Kyle to anyone looking for safe, loving care for their pups. Thank you!

Erin and Ramon cared for our two little dogs and did an amazing job. They are fully set up in their home to care for little dogs and they are so knowledgeable because of their own dogs. Our older dog can sometimes be slow to eat and they took their time with him and made sure he got what he needed. Our younger dog is terrified of many things and they were kind and patient with all the fireworks over the holiday. We will definitely have Erin and Ramon watch our dogs again. They are great.

Sarah was great! She was able to watch Diesel within a VERY short notice from another sitter. (Diesel is not neutered and wanted to make babies with her dog) sarah arranged to pick up Diesel and took care of him. He was walked and could tell he had a good time because when we got him home he sprawled onto the floor tired lol. She took him on walks, played catch, cuddles and told me about his eating/bowel movements. She also sent pics while he was with her! I will definitely book with her again!

Jennifer and her son are truly wonderful. Leaving Rio can be tough for me, but they gave me complete peace of mind. He was so incredibly well taken care of and genuinely loved every single day I was away. It’s rare to find sitters who treat your best buddy like their own family. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! I honestly feel a little relief in my heart now. If I need to leave Rio for a few days, I've got a family that can truly and lovingly take care of my best buddy in the whole world.

Sarah and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 5-month-old Goldendoodle, Chopper! We left him for an 11-day stay, which was a long time for a young puppy, but Sarah made us feel completely at ease. They have a bustling, lively home with kids and other pets, which turned out to be the perfect, fun vacation for Chopper. He is a high-energy puppy who loves to bounce and wander, and they managed his excitement beautifully. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Sarah and will absolutely trust her with Chopper again.
