“Joann did a phenomenal job with or babies Stewie and Coco! Coco can be very barky and Joann was so patient with her. By the time I got back Coco was totally calm with Joann! Both of the dogs seemed very happy with her. Also, Joann went above and beyond and walked to the Pet store next door and got a toy for Coco. Coco truly liked the toy you could tell! I would highly recommend Joann to anybody looking for a kind and patient sitter for your babies!”

“Shelly took amazing care of our three dogs. Each dog is quirky and needy in their own way and she was able to cater to and love each one. She also sends great picture updates!! We won’t hesitate to have her watch our fur babies in the future, she is the best sitter we have ever had”

“Samantha was great! We did a meet and greet a few days before the stay where we got to see her and the dogs interact, which made us feel so comfortable. Samantha stayed at our house for two nights and continuously provided updates and photos. We would definitely rebook!”

“Kaspar was great! Communication was awesome and we were super relaxed knowing our dogs were in Kaspar's care. Our dogs loved him and he was super diligent in accommodating all the dogs' needs regarding feeding, potty, etc. We noticed such a difference when coming home to our dogs, they were so much more relaxed than if they would've been alone for some hours. We'll definitely ask Kaspar to look after our dogs in the future!”

“I’m afraid to leave this outstanding review because I don’t want anyone to steal our dogs new favorite sitter. It’s so hard to find a reliable, honest and trustworthy sitter for our 14 year old “puppy”. Caitlin kept in contact with me, sent photos, and even took Elliot on short walks (which wasn’t required ). I don’t think our dog wanted us to come home. I’m so glad I found her and looking forward to using her again.”

“Taylor watched our dogs overnight on short notice. She was easy to work with, took great care of our pups and even sent pictures so we knew they were ok. Would definitely recommend Taylor and we will be booking with her in the future.”

“Michaela was incredibly helpful and attentive while sitting our dog. She kept in great communication. It was a great experience and we would love to work with her again! Thank you”

“We asked Rachel to come to our house overnight to stay with GG. She was awesome with her!!! Several walks , cuddles, and perfect attention to GG needs.Rachel also took GG for a ride in her car, which GG absolutley loves to do!!! We would have her back to look after GG in a heartbeat!!!!”

“Bailey is amazing with pets. She loves all kinds of animals. Dogs. Cats. Fish. Frogs. She loves them all. She has grown up with pets, and has always been responsible for them. When she gets home, the first things she does is say hi to all the animals. She'll take care of all your furry, or not furry, babies.”
