“This is the first time this pup was left with a sitter and we felt very secure leaving her. We have used Morgan and her family before with our other pup and knew she would be taken care of and pictures were sent daily, along with communication on how she was doing.”
“Took very good care of my dog Luca. He had lots of fun with their dogs and was great that they had a big fenced in yard because Luca doesn’t do well on the leash.”
“Aaron was very communicative and accommodating and my dogs were very well looked after and taken care of. He sent photos to share how comfortable they were and he will definitely be my first choice for any future dog sitting needs. I highly recommend him.”
“Chelsey was a fantastic caretaker for Hawkeye while we were out of town! He loved her fenced in yard and all the walks she took him on. I loved that she sent photos and updates while we were away. She has a lovely home with a nice, fenced in backyard. We will definitely ask Chelsey to take care of our boy again!!”
“Sonja & Tim did a great job watching Cody! Tim even refroze ice to keep the remaining food nice & fresh. Their pet dog looks just like my sisters, which he always loves to play with! Thanks Sonja & Tim”
