“My pups a little shy at first and Megan was patient to make sure she comfortable. I really appreciate the daily updates with photos! Highly recommend!”
“The best sitters! Lacie goes out of her way to make you comfortable and ensure all needs are met. I felt very at ease leaving Stink with her. Lots of photos and videos and great updates. She’s outstanding!!”
“If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“This is my first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Michelle. From the pictures we received our dog Levi looked like he was on vacation too. He loved swimming in the doggie pool and his hikes. It makes you time away so much more enjoyable when you know your dog is being so well cared for”
“Boomer had the best time while staying with KaLynn. She sent lots of pictures showing all of Boomer's buddies during his stay, and KaLynn even had a birthday party for one of dogs. This is Boomer's second time of being with KaLynn, and I plan on sticking with her in the future!”
“We loved Laura and her place with the beautiful big fenced in yard. We also loved the pictures she would send us while we were gone. We missed Tucker our dog so much and the pictures helped us know he was being taken well care of. We will use again.”

“Alison has been amazing and attentive to Leo! She has a farm with horses and barns, so it was his first time on an actual farm. She sent pictures during his stay, knowing that he was in good hands. He came home all exhausted from a blast with Alison, her horses and dogs. She will be used again, for sure!”
“Sharon made Kylo’s first experience from home AMAZING! From the moment we went for a meet and greet he felt right at home (maybe even loved it a little more). Sharon’s yard is perfect for pups to enjoy. She treated him with love and embraced all his goofiness! I’m certain he can’t wait to go back and would be at her home anytime possible!! There’s not enough amazing things to say about Sharon!! … thank you for everything! He came home spoiled and one tired pup from loving her yard. 🩵”

“Daisy did a 2-night meet and greet stay in preparation for a long stay with Diane this fall. Diane has a large, completely fenced yard which is great. She texted me pictures during Daisy’s stay, and she seemed very tuned in to Daisy’s particular needs and wants. I am glad to have a good sitter lined up now.”
“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”
“Melissa took excellent care of our pups! She had them during hurricane Helene. She kept them extra days as there was no way to communicate as cell service was down. She had no power, water or cell service and she still took great care of them. It was a very difficult and stressful situation, but we knew our dogs were safe and well taken care of. Thank you Melissa!”
