We will for sure be reaching out to Maria for future dog sitting requests. 🐾”

5. Eric & Martha W.

“Martha and Eric are outstanding! They took excellent care of our dog, Rosie. We had to make last minute booking changes but Martha and Eric were understanding, compassionate, accommodating, and very professional. Rosie has some anxiety but Martha and Eric asked many questions about her care and treated her like she was part of their family. They took Rosie on lots of walks and updated us with many photos and videos. Rosie looked right at home and we felt at ease knowing she was being so well cared for.”

11. Megan & Michael B.

“My husband and I booked Megan and Michael to take care of our dog for our wedding day/night. We were so nervous because we had never had someone outside of our family watch her. They did a fantastic job. They updated us several times throughout the day, and sent us home with a note of what they did during her stay. Our dog is high energy and they did a great job keeping her busy and having fun. I 100% recommend them for your pet sitter. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Jennifer not only took my dog into her loving home and treated him as one of her own she took out the stress of leaving him by providing daily updates.

18. Jacquie & Kyle R.
