1. Patty C.


“I honestly was worried about leaving Lilly for the first time with anyone other than a family member that she knew, never having done it before. Patty invited us over for a meet and greet before Lilly stayed there so we could get her familiar with everything. Then Patty did a great job making her feel at home during her stay so that Lilly acted totally normal when I picked her up just like she was hanging out with old friends while I was gone. I would definitely ask Patty again.”

“Jason runs a great kennel. He has a wonderful facility and he is very knowledgeable and loving with the dogs he owns and the dogs he day cares and kennels. Will definitely use Jason's services again with our boy Charlie”


3. Marigold & Darla K.

“The ladies did a FANTASTIC job of watching our fur baby! They kept us informed about everything and let us know how she was settling in. Our baby was able to make new friends and enjoyed being around them. Kindness greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”


7. Maria F.

“With this type of service communication is key. Maria is great at communicating. She responds quickly, she asked specific questions about our pet's habits/likes/dislikes, and she kept us updated often with pictures. We plan to use her services again and would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”


8. Kelli J.


“Kelli was such a great communicator! She took the best care of our little Chloe, and Chloe had a great time with Kelli and her family. We are very pleased with her great service!”


9. Rebecca D.


“Rebecca is amazing with dogs. My izzi had never been away from home or around other dogs. She introduced her slowly to the others and she ended up making several friends over the long weekend. She was so happy to see us, but she was having so much fun, I don't think she really wanted to leave. I would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone who needs a loving second home foe their fir babies. I will definitely use her again.”

“Arisha took good care of our dogs. She took them on long walks and cuddled with them, two of their favorite things.”


11. Melissa C.

“It was an amazing stay for our pet. We had to find a sitter last minute and Melissa was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She took wonderful care of our dog and even took her on adventures (walks, fishing, and sunbathing on the spacious patio). I can’t recommend this experience enough!”


12. Colleen N.
About: I am very well adapted to dogs of all ages, puppies and senior "puppies". Taking care of them since the age 12. Even all breeds. I run my own business so I have much flexibility for play time, potty breaks walks social time and much cuddling. Even training if needed. If dog sitting in my home the crate is available or they would have free roam of my home, outdoors would be on a leash as I do not have a fenced in yard.


13. April S.

“April is amazing! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, I was not worried one bit about my dog staying with her. I love that she had us do a meet and greet before the stay to make sure her pup and my dog were good together. Her dog is such a sweetie and our dogs became fast friends. I can't recommend April enough!”


14. Jamie A.

“Jamie did an amazing job watching our baby. She made me feel comfortable and Sutton warmed up to her very fast. I highly recommend her and will be using again. Sutton I think misses Jamie’s family as well now that we have her home!”


15. Joye W.

“Joye and her husband Quinton took amazing care of our boy!! We dropped our 85lb Catahoula off with these two and their calm, caring demeanors made him feel right at home from the very first moment. They are very accommodating and it really felt like they loved having our boy around for the weekend! They took our preferences and instructions very seriously and were extremely comfortable with taking Mel for plenty of walks, both on and off leash, to make sure that he got more than enough time to exercise and play. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend these two. We will be booking again next time we are in the area!!”


16. Ryan H.
About: I've raised and taken care of dogs since I was 11, I've had two labs and currently have a 9 yr old lab who loves other dogs. I've potty trained, crate trained, and taught commands over the years and have experience in all levels of care of all ages. I work part time from home and have the availability during the week. Im able to take them for walks and be attentive to their needs. Every pet is unique so understanding their temperament and attitude is important. I've always used positive reinforcement in my training and care for pets. I take care of my family and friends pets when they're out of town and ensure they are fed when needed and taken care of.


17. Emily K.

“Emily and her family are absolute treasures!! Super kind, accommodating, flexible, trustworthy…we are already booking Libby’s next visit with her! The sense of peace knowing our elderly dog is with a family that is happy to have her means the world to us. We know Libby, and for her to not want to leave and jump out of the car when I picked her up speaks volumes. She loved her time with them!”


18. Thomas C.
“Tommy is very responsible and loving of all animals! He will make sure you dog/cat is loved and taken care of while you are away! Highly recommended Tommy as a pet sitter!”


19. Michelle D.


“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”


20. Dominique R.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am responsible, understanding that all dogs are different and have different personalities and I’m very clean. I’m available after 2pm for dog sitting, I am also friendly and have transportation. I also can help you with house visits to feed them. I care for pets by being attentive to their needs and my surroundings and their behaviors. They have no problem with me and getting comfortable
