“Deserae is a wonderful caregiver to my dog. He has stayed with her multiple times. Bear always comes home clean, healthy and very happy! She even sends cute photos to let me see how Bear is doing while I’m away. I highly recommend her services!”
“AMAZING!!! Amanda provided lots of updates with pictures and videos of my pup. She was very sweet and accommodating to my pup who has separation anxiety. I will definitely be using her again. :)”
“Brooke was amazing. This was our first time to leave Mabel alone with someone who was not family. Brooke went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable by sending pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Brooke to care for you fur baby!”
“Dylan was great to work with on drop off and pick up times, super friendly and flexible. They sent pictures and videos of my dog having fun at their house. I’ll definitely see if I can leave my dog with them the next time I’m out of town!”
“Mallory was the absolute sweetest and I am so grateful that my baby Chips got to spend the weekend with her and her other pets. He got to play so much. I loved the video updates and I felt peace of mind with my dog being in her care. We are also using Mallory for doggy daycare! If you want your pets to have the best experience and great level of care, she is the way to go!”
“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Brooke took care of my 2 cats for 5 days and treated them the same as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable about feline behavior and tuned into the adjustment process they were going through being in a new place. I was very impressed with the way she helped my kitties feel safe, calm, and entertained like spaces they could have privacy, a cat tree to play or sleep on, and assorted toys (they loved the robot laser!). We clarified how frequently I wished to be updated on how they were doing and she gave me details about their activity, eating and drinking, and when she tucked them in for the night. Highly recommend and will undoubtedly hire Brooke again.”
“Thankful Gretchen and her family were so accommodating for a last minute board. She was quick to provide pictures and give me updates on my two dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.”
“Raquel was incredible with our two dogs. One of them does not typically warm up well to others but he did so good with her. She sent us videos and kept us updated on how they are doing which was so nice. I would highly recommend her.”
“Gerrad provided excellent care for my dog for over a week. Gerrad sent daily texts about his day and many pictures during the stay. I highly recommend Gerrad as you can be assured of the very best attention and care for your pet. It’s truly a blessing to have no worries about your pet when you are away! Excellent experience!”
“We loved Raelynn! She was great with Buddy, who immediately gravitated to her, and had excellent communication with me. When in Springfield, we will happily use her again.”
“Charles & Sami were great taking of Bison last minute when another sitter fell through. He was well taken care of and they were even able to pick him up and drop him off. Will definitely choose them again!”
“Nella was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she cares a lot for the dogs she is entrusted with. Thank you Nella! Will definitely book again.”
“Sydney and her husband are amazing! They provided great updates while my dog was with them and were so flexible and understanding when I accidentally booked wrong, and they let my dog stay another night! I’m so grateful to them!”
“I could not ask for a better “sitter “ for my puppy Luna Mickayla was extremely informative of everything going on and treated her like her own thanks for being amazing and flexible !”
“Payten was an exceptional dog sitter for our two pups during their week-long stay. Her house and yard were perfect for our dogs to play and relax in. Communication was timely, and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Payten's friendly demeanor made us feel at ease leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Olivia enough! She took amazing care of Kingston while I was away, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. She was super communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and treated Kingston like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and responsible to watch your dog, Olivia is the one! Thanks again, Olivia”
