“Dianna was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She went above and beyond to make him feel really comfortable and he really felt at home. She sent lots of pictures and video updates throughout his stay and he seemed very happy staying with her. We will definitely book with Dianna again!!!”
“Hailey was wonderful! Benji loved the time he spent being able to play and enjoy a new setting. Hailey sent me pictures of Benji & also responded and kept me updated on how Benji was doing. If you are looking fir someone trustworthy to take care of you dog, I highly recommend Hailey (she is very professional).”
“Karen was easy to work with, helped me feel very comfortable leaving my pups long term and was really good to them. I was sent pictures daily and could see how comfortable they had gotten and how much fun they were having with other pups. I plan to use Karen as a sitter in the future.”
“Tammi was wonderful! She took the time to do a meet and greet before booking with her. During the boarding she sent us pictures and kept us updated on how our Lola was doing. Would high recommend her!”
“Angel is wonderful and I would definitely recommend her! She provided half a day of care for our fur baby while we were at the Ark Encounter. It was a last moment request for our spur of the moment plans — she responded quickly and professionally. She was available and willing even though it was for the next day/Saturday morning. Being within a 30 minute drive from The Ark Encounter was a huge bonus for us. We arrived with our 6 lb., 6 year old Yorkie and she showed immediate comfort being around Angel and her young child. We asked that children not have unsupervised time alone with our fur baby as she is small, delicate and can express anxiety — Angel assured us she would be careful, give our pup her own bedroom with the door closed for quiet time, and take her for walks herself. She checked in with us during the stay, and when we arrived to pick up, our fur baby was calm, not expressing any anxiety and was well cared for (we do raw feeding and Angel had no issue keeping the container of food nuggets refrigerated and feeding at the correct time). Angel was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. I would highly recommend her. 5 +stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“First time that I used this app to find a sitter for my pet and was very pleased in the care that Whitney provided. She sent updates and pictures each day which was very nice.”
“We love Amy! Our fur babies have the best time at her farm! From the large fenced play area to the long walks on her beautiful farm....nothing comes close to her loving care! Thank you for another great vacation!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“Karen is very kind and caring. She cared for our two little furry dogs for 13 days, and during that time, she always checked on them and let us know how everything was going. We recommend Karen 100% and are confident that she will take care of your pets with great love and dedication.”
“Anna was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dog with someone outside of family and she put me at ease with her updates and pictures. My dog loved her backyard and getting to play all day long. She even gave us a treat bag when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend and will take him back!”
“We left our puppy babies here for the day while we went to the ark encounter. Erin was so communicative with us. she sent pictures and updates and gave them so so so much love!!! They’re very nervous about our cross country move and she made them feel right at home. Her house was great and clean and perfect for dogs Her backyard was great, she sent wonderful pictures of them enjoying their day. We were so glad to leave them in such a loving environment. We gave her five stars, but we wish we could have given her more!”
“Patti is awesome and my senior pup Oreo absolutely loves staying with her! He was all wags when he went back to stay with her a second time. She sends plenty of pictures, ensures he gets great cuddle time and takes good care of him. Highly recommend and would definitely leave Oreo with her in the future!”
“I am very fortunate to have found Laura! Based on her "About" info and all the great reviews, I felt my dog would be well cared for. We had a great first meeting with Laura which solidified my decision to hire her. Drop off was easy because of our first meeting. She had excellent communication! She sent pictures, messages and responded promptly to any messages I initiated. When I picked up my dog, she(my dog)was happy to see me and my husband but not eager to leave. That’s a good sign to me that she felt safe and was happy there! I 100% recommend Laura and hope she's available next time I need her.”
“We had to leave our new puppy for a week and she is not house broken yet. We were so glad Deana was available and able to watch her. She is the best! She sent updates to us regularly. We know our puppy had a fantastic time and was well cared for. We will absolutely use Deana again and would recommend her to everyone. She has the most ideal setup for your dogs!!”

He got walks multiple times a day, and always look content in his pictures. We feel grateful that we found such a great giver of love for our pooch. We recommend Jane highly for your pooches dog sitting needs!”
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Jared was great! Amazing communication, constantly kept me updated on my dog throughout the day with photos and videos. My dog absolutely loved boarding with him and his pups. Would recommend. You can tell he truly cares about animals and will treat yours just like his own.”
