“Kaylee has watched our puppy for us a few times now and each time has been great! Our guy comes home happy, clean, and worn out. Kaylee sends pictures, has great communication and even gave us a Christmas ornament for Reggie. We feel lucky to have found Kaylee, and would highly recommend her!”

“If I could give 6 stars I would, very impressed with how Mark and Elizabeth took care of our son, we have a boxer breed who is highly energetic, I got daily updates and pictures of how he was doing, he looked very relaxed and at home, I definitely recommend Mark and Elizabeth to anyone and I will definitely use them again they did a fantastic job and treated our dog like he was their own.”

5. Sarah P.


“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”


6. Sharon K.

“Sharon was amazing with my pet. She was very responsive and friendly. My dog felt comfortable with her and I received updates regularly. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”




7. Mark and Vicky H.


“Mark and Vicky thank you! I always love the updates and pictures you send of Liberty while she’s with you. I know she’s loved and in the best care with you both.”




8. Emily Ann C.

“When I first met Emily, I was confident that she was a good fit for Gabby. After Gabby had stayed there, I’m sure that she was perfect for her. She played with Gabby and introduced Gabby to her dog Pepper, and they slept together in the bed. She took great care of her and Gabby seem to love her.”


9. Kate W.

“Kate was AMAZING! She was so flexible as I had a last minute booking! She sent great videos and pictures throughout Astros stay and he looked like he was just right at home! I would 100 percent trust her again to watch Astro! Highly recommend!!”


10. Jan H.

“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”


11. Sam M.

“Sam was great and took good care of my dog with love and care. Because of her background in veterinary, she was able to diagnose my dog was liking himself and after talking to me she gave him the proper medication and put a collar on him. When I went to pick him up he was very happy and healthy… which makes me really happy. I also like the fact that Zeca was the only dog with her because he is not very friendly with other dogs around. Sam, thank you so much!!”


12. Marie H.


“Sent lots of pictures and allowed us to view her home before committing. I am a new dog mom and Marie made me feel so comfortable with leaving our boy!”


13. Danielle V.

“Our dogs were taken care of well and were even clean when we picked them up. They were happy and relaxed. Danielle was very accommodating when our pick up was delayed and communicated very well. Will be booking again.”


14. Nathan & Jenna R.

“Nate and Jenna are hands down the best sitters you will find. Our pups are always thrilled to spend time with them and they are always tuckered out from all the excitement and fun they have with them. I sincerely hope that Nate and Jenna continue sitting in the future as they will be our first choice from now on.”


15. Paul K.

“Paul was wonderful with our Lexi. She needed a nice calm atmosphere and that is what she got. We will definitely bring her back next time we need a sitter”


16. Erika M.

“Erika is fantastic! We had a late request due to our pup, Cal, having a cold and not being able to stay at our pre-planned boarding facility. I am so thankful Cal got to stay with Erika instead of being boarded. Erika was extremely understanding, is a great communicator, and loved on Cal while he was with her. She sent regular updates and pictures. We recently moved to the area and feel blessed that we found Erika so we have someone we trust for future needs. Thank you for everything, Erika!”


17. Susan G.

“Susan and her husband were great to work with. Our dog Max felt right at home. I will certainly have them watch our dog the next time we need a sitter! Thanks Susan!”


18. Pat S.

“I have two senior ladies and Pat does a phenomenal job with them! I appreciate her experience with senior dogs and knowing they get to be comfy at her house.”


19. Keith & Rebecca & Hope & Keith T.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch our Maddie girl while on vacation. They sent us daily updates with pictures and I know Maddie was in the best hands! Thank you guys so much! We will definitely use you again in the future!”
