“This is the first dog I’ve ever owned and I was very nervous giving her to anyone to watch. Angie is the best. She made me feel at ease through the process and gave my dog Ripley a great week away. She sent me lots of pictures and was quick in her responses giving me updates on how Ripley was doing. I will definitely use Angie again.”
“My dog, Ollie, just spent a week with Sandy and I cannot say enough about how great she was. I hadn’t ever left him with anyone other than family and from the first minute I met Sandy during our meet and great, she put me right at ease. She was communicative and caring and he clearly had a great time. I would (and will!) rebook her in a heartbeat!”
“Aishea was nice and welcoming to Charlie. He felt comfortable immediately with her. Charlie was very well taken care of. Kept me updated of how he was and sent picture and videos. Will definitely recommend. Thank you Aishea!”
“Heather sent photos every day and videos so I knew my dogs were enjoying themselves. Beautiful fenced in yard made play time fun and safe. Quick communication, easy drop up, and willing to change pick up time. I would recommend her for all dog parents!”
“If Arthur could write this review himself he would. He has had a few sleepovers with Amy and Mayzie. Every time he arrives he sprints to her door with tail wagging and pure joy. When he gets back home it’s KO. Snoring like he ran a marathon and had the time of his life doing it. I would trust Amy again, and again. 🐾”
“Caitlin boarded our dog Frodo for a week, it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone. We couldn't be more pleased with the care Frodo receive from the family and the communication pictures and videos were great as well ! We highly recommend Caitlin and her family for pet care. We look forward to using them again.”
“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”
“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”
“My boys were well taken care of! We got home and they’ve been tuckered out since from all the playing they got to do. Glorymar is great about responding quickly to any messages and she sent lots of pictures. Will be using her again in the future!”
“Megan regularly fosters kittens from Dakin so I felt very comfortable leaving our two cats in her care, especially since our one cat requires a special diet and pill administration. Really appreciated the super quick communication !”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Steve and Deb are awesome! I felt very comfortable with leaving my 8 month old puppy with them for five days. They were flexible when I needed to drop off a bit earlier and sent daily photos and videos to keep me updated on how she was doing. If I was staying in the area they would definitely be my go to place for Ruby. Plus they have some very sweet dogs that she made friends with! A big thank you to you both!”
“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”
“Jannylza was absolutely perfect! Took such good care of my dog and followed all instructions exactly. My pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Communication was great too, I got plenty of updates and photos which made me feel so at ease. Would definitely book again!”
“Karen truly went above and beyond in caring for Louie while I was away. Her thoughtful gestures, like sending frequent pictures, not only showed her dedication but also provided me with peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to know that she treated Louie with such love and attention, making sure he felt safe and happy in my absence. Her kindness speaks volumes about her character and how much she genuinely cares for both human and furry!”
“Allison was amazing! She was so helpful and accommodating which made leaving our new dog with her easy and stress free!!! You can tell she genuinely loves dogs!!! 😍”

“We are new to using Patti, but couldn't be happier with her care of our Josie. Patti was very good about letting me know how Josie was getting on and sending photos of the two of them together. I have already scheduled our next visit with Patti!”

Angie took care of my dog Pancho for three days and I’m very grateful for the care she gave him. She maintained great communication the entire time and regularly sent me photos, which helped me feel at ease while I was out of town. During his stay, Pancho had a health-related accident that had nothing to do with Angie’s care, and she informed me right away and handled the situation very responsibly. She was attentive, honest, and very caring with him. I also asked if I could pick Pancho up early in the morning and she had no problem accommodating that. I truly appreciate how she communicated with me and the care she gave to Pancho.

Anna and her husband took great care of our dog, Oakley, for a weekend! I was very nervous leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know, but from the beginning Anna was warm and friendly and helped us feel at ease. She was accommodating of Oakley’s reactivity and sent us updates throughout the weekend. If we ever need to find someone to watch Oakley again, we will definitely consider Anna in the future!
