1. Christine J.
“Christine was great with my dog Murphy! We did a quick meet and greet prior to my trip and once on the trip she sent photos and updates of how he was doing. She was super flexible with pickup time and Murphy seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
2. Kerra H.
“Kerra was incredible! She watched Eevee at the last minute right before we had to leave for a trip due to unforeseen issues with a different sitter. Kerra went above and beyond when Eevee was nervous, she sat with her on the couch so she’d feel comfortable eating dinner 🥹. We got so many pics and updates and Eevee came back happier than ever! I will definitely recommend”

“I am SO happy I found Leonard and Kathryn to take care of my 9 month old goldendoodle! Their sweet girls showered her with love and snuggles throughout her stay and made her part of their family for the week. I received daily pictures and updates which kept my mama heart at ease knowing she was well taken care of. Leonard was quick to respond to texts and was flexible with drop off/pick up times. I will definitely be bringing my pup back next time I head out of town! She has received the best care in their home.”

“this was the second time Sky has watched my dog and she was amazing! She watched her for an extended stay and took very good care of her and I could tell from the daily updates and photos/videos that my dog was enjoying her time and felt very relaxed and comfortable. would highly recommend trusting sky to take care of your dog!”
16. Sam L.
“Sam was a great fit for our dog, Shiloh. He was appropriately responsive throughout her stay with him sending an update once per day- it felt like enough communication but not too much communication which allowed us to focus on our vacation. Sam is obviously a dog enthusiast! His dog Happy was a great playmate for Shiloh. We took comfort in knowing that Sam worked from home and could take Shiloh on multiple walks per day to get her exercise in. Overall good experience and I would recommend him to others”

18. Nelly M.
“Nelly took great care of my snoopy. She gave him lots of walks and cuddles. She was great at giving him his medicine. She was very accommodating with snoopy’s separation anxiety and needs. Always sent pictures when I asked and communicated any concerns she had right away.”
19. Kirsten K.
“Kirsten was amazing! Easy communication, regular pictures and updates of our pup, long walks, playtime with other dogs, and just a generally great experience. Our dog came back home happy and with new best friends! Highly recommend!”
20. Michael Y.
