1. Carolyn G.
“We had a wonderful experience with Carolyn. She took our pup last minute and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her. Lots of pictures and communication throughout our time away.”
2. Sarah E.
“When my first reservation backed out 1 hour before my drop off time, Sarah was quick to respond and agree to watch Moxie for me. She was a lifesaver! She took my dog an hour later and my dog immediately made her self at home. Moxie was very happy when I picked her up and Sarah took great care of her. I'm so thankful for helping me out at the last minute. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
3. Arlene M.
“Arlene and her family were wonderful to Jackson! We got daily pictures and updates. We picked him up, and he was enjoying a “good by” walk and lovingly scratches. Was not sure he wanted to come home with us! Thank you Arlene, we will definitely be calling upon you again!”
4. June & Wade C.
“June C. Did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She sent photos and updates daily and our Fred was well taken care of. He was happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to ask June to watch him again in the future.”
5. John S.
“John will be a great person to care for your pets. I have known John for over 30 years as he lives in our neighborhood. He is a dog lover and has had his own dogs for all the years I’ve known him. He takes care of his pets very well. He walks them regularly, takes them to the veterinarian for check ups, feeds them top brand foods, plays with them, and treats them as a member of his family. He has come over to our home to take care and let our dog out when we were gone for the day. John will take care of your pets very well.”
6. Barb K.
“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
7. Lyndsey T.
“Cleo had a great time at Lyndsey’s. She was well cared for and came home happy! 🐶😃”
8. Jessica V.
“Jessica was very responsive and took care of my dog well. My dog was happy and played a lot when he was boarded at Jessica’s. Thank you Jessica for accommodating our last minute request.”
9. JoAnne F.
“We were very happy to find Joanne and her family to care for our dog Tipper. They were very friendly and very complimentary of Tipper when we had our meet and greet. Tipper is a high energy pup and got along well with their dog Honey. Joanne sent daily updates with pictures which we appreciated. When we picked Tipper up she had all her things packed up and ready to go. We appreciated that because we were tired from our trip. We were also pleased that Tipper was tired too. This tells us she was given lots of attention and activity during her stay at Joanne’s. Tipper spent the afternoon and evening napping as we did too. We have already mentioned to Joanne that we’d like to use her again this summer. We highly recommend her as a great dog sitter!”
10. Emily A.

11. Derek G.
“This was our first time using Derek for an overnite visit for our dog Scooter. Scooter bonded with Ellie immediately and loved his experience.”
12. Kelly K.
“Kelly was phenomenal. She sent me daily updates and took great care of our 2 dogs. We have a senior dog that needs a little extra care and everything was perfect. Our dogs were happy to see us, but I think they miss Kelly and her family!”
13. Cheryl B.
“The experience was easy and my dog loved it Cheryl was wonderful I definitely book with her again for my next trip she made me and my Payton feel very comfortable!”
14. Michelle S.
“Michelle and her family did a wonderful job watching our Maltipoo! They sent pictures regularly with updates on how he was doing. We will use them again!!”
15. Stella G.
“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”
16. Ben J.
“We were impressed with how Ben interacted with our dog (Murphy). His dog experience really showed through. He seemed to understand Murphy's needs and personality. Ben has a wonderful, fenced in backyard - there is lots of room for dogs to sniff and exercise. We also appreciated the updates on how Murphy was doing. We haven't left him much and that gave us such peace of mind. When the time came to pick Murphy up, Murphy was happy to see us, but not desperate to leave! We look forward to having Ben watch him in the future.”
17. Michele Z.
“Michele was outstanding with our furbaby. She sent lots of pictures and videos of his stay, and we can totally tell that he was enjoying his time at her house. Will absolutely use Michele again very soon for another stay.”
18. Joseph N.
“Joe has looked after my dogs, Susan and Smurf, and they both love to be around him! They feel safe and secure around him, and he keeps them active with plenty of walks and playing with them! I trust him to look after my dogs whenever my partner or me is away”
19. Christine H.
“My doodle is very skidish, but she has bonded with Christine and I feel very good about leaving Olive with her. Great peace of mind while traveling.”
20. Karin B.
“She was fantastic with my dog. We had a last minute change of plans with our other sitter days before a trip and she took him in no problem. She was very patient with him and made sure he was content in her home. Would highly recommend.”
