“Mary is amazing! She has a lot of experience with animals, a fenced yard, and doesn’t currently have any pets—so your dog will get her full attention. Our little dog had so much fun playing with Mary and her daughter, and they send us many updates during her stay. Thanks again!!”
“Tina was a wonderful sitter with my senior dogs. She kept me posted throughout the trip by sending pictures and text. It was so nice to be able to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. Definitely will use Tina again.”
“Jill took excellent care of our dog! The pictures and updates were thoughtful and reassuring that our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast playing with her family and their dog! I absolutely recommend Jill to anyone in the area looking for a superior alternative to a boarding kennel. Your dog will be a part of their family during his/her stay.”
“Bill and his family's home is our little Scamp's favorite place to stay when we go out of town. He always has such a good time with their dogs and Bill is super easy to work with :)”
“Sierra was friendly, trustworthy and experienced from the first moment! I had never left my big boy with anyone besides family and was nervous, but she sent me updates and took great care of him. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust when we need them!”
“As always, we chose Joe as our sitter for our goldie. We always get at least one photo/video and update a day which is so appreciated. We never have to worry about him when he’s in Joe’s care. Joe is our go-to guy!”
“Thank you Hillary for taking such exceptional care of Teddy on his first night away from us! Huge thanks for being there for us on shuch short notice and for ease of extending our pup's stay! To other prospective clients, we met Hillary at the Seal Point Dog Park (small dog section) when socializing our puppy. She is great! She's at that park every day around noon. If you are thinking about having a dog sitter, definately go and meet her. ”
“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”
“Cassie was great & took good care of Henry - she even gave him a bath! He looked great when we picked him up & seemed like he had a good time too. Will definitely use her again when we’re in the area!”
“I used Dana for the first time and she was great! She sent pictures while I was out of town and was very responsive. Romeo loved being around her kids and the other dogs. I will definitely use her again. She took very good care of my little guy.”
“This was our first time leaving Rufus anywhere overnight and he did fabulously! Karen was good to send updates and pics to assure me that Rufus was having a great time! He hit it off with Boomer and the two played all day and night. By time we got Rufus home, he was a happy, tired boy! :) We already have Karen scheduled for our next outing. Highly recommend!”
“Krystie goes above and beyond! Constant updates and communication, and my pups were so happy the whole time. She was very accommodating when we had to adjust our pickup time and made it happen! We will recommend Krystie to all of our friends and family and we will board with her again!”
“Jennifer is absolutely AMAZING! While I was cruising last week for my birthday, she took incredible care of my dog Cash, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind and showed just how much fun Cash was having. It truly felt like Cash became part of her family — a real home away from home. They played games, spent quality time together, and it was obvious he was loved and well cared for every single day. I’m so grateful to Jen and her family for their warmth, hospitality, and genuine care. Jennifer goes above and beyond to meet (and exceed!) expectations. She’s fantastic with animals, attentive, and incredibly kind. For any dog sitting, boarding, or pet care needs, I highly recommend Jen without hesitation. She is absolutely the best! 🐾💙”
“Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!”
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! Leaving my dog, for the weekend is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. From the moment I dropped Kevin off, I knew he was in good hands. Samantha went above and beyond in caring for kevin. I especially appreciated the pictures and videos she sent – it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. It really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend knowing He was being so well looked after. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog watcher. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
