8. Lauryn P.

“We had to travel overseas and we needed someone to look after our furbaby for over a month period while we were gone. I know it was a big commitment for her but Lauryn went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She sent us videos, pictures throughout and also checked with me for anything unusual. I could feel at ease even when I was away for so long. Thank you so much Lauryn. Dalgu is already looking forward to her next stay with you. 😁”

We will absolutely be using Erica again!”

19. Ashton A.
“I only trust a few people to take care of my dog and Ashton is one of them! My black lab, Harley, stayed with Ashton while I was out of town and Harley just loves her. I trust Ashton with my dog because she has grown up with dogs her whole life and is therefore a very knowledgeable and responsible caregiver. Ashton loves any & all dogs and would be the perfect sitter for your furry friend. They are guaranteed to have a great time with her :)”


20. Joseph B.

“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”
