“Buddy had so much fun staying with britanny and her lovely family. He was actually sad when he came home 🤣 . We were kept updated with pictures and how he is doing throughout the stay . As others mentioned, he had a great vacation while we were away! Highly recommend and we will be back for sure!”
“Shannon was great! Super communicative with me, and the pictures she sent definitely helped ease my stress since this was my first time using the app and having him stay over someone’s house. He also got along with her pups right from the start, which was great!”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“OMG. Erica and Tom are the best family for taking great care of our fur baby Beanie. Their home is a beautiful setting in a bucolic area of East Lyme CT. I’m so happy to have them when we visit here from NC. As a native to this area, we come here every summer so having them nearby is a huge relief for us if we need a getaway without the furry one. We had a family gathering in Savannah recently and we had her booked for six nights with them and we were worry free! They are the best.”
“Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.”
“So happy leaving Burt with Brittany and her family. I knew he was safe and we received daily updates. She genuinely cares for your animal when she watches them. I would leave my dog with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Thank You Holly & Mike! Finn had such a great time with you!! I would highly recommend Holly. Her knowledge of elder dogs made me fell so at ease. The property Finn stayed at must of felt like a resort retreat! Beautiful 🤩 I will most definitely be contacting Holly more often!”
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
“Very quick to respond to my reservation, which was at the last minute because some other reservations fell through. She was very nice, and made me feel very comfortable leaving Podrick with her. Loved the pictures and the text updates that she sent. Very Highly recommended.”
“Julius and family took good care of our dog. Julius is super-responsive and sent several cute pictures of the visit. It looked like everyone got along well and were very active. Our dog came home exhausted, which is a good thing. We also needed to adjust the end time a little bit, and Julius was very accommodating of the last minute change.”
“Sabina and her husband are great and their dog is very sweet. Their house was perfect for our golden retriever. Small fenced backyard gave our dog some outside time and Sabina took her for walks during the day (nice walking neighborhood). This was just what we needed and our dog seemed to enjoy her visit. Sabina even sent us pictures while we were gone.”
“Melisa was the best! She took such good care of our girls while we were away. She was thoughtful, respectful of their normal routines, and a great communicator. There’s just nothing like peace of mind when leaving your pets for days at a time.”
“We have confirmed with Jared twice, and will continue to do so! Jared is caring, mild mannered and highly communicative. We appreciate having the opportunity to leave our pup with someone reliable! Thanks, Jared!”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Comnie and Jerry! From the minute we met them at our pre-visit, we felt comfortable. They are friendly and great communicators and we received daily photos and updates. Frannie was well cared for and we will definitely use them again!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Nadjeska as my pet sitter for my Ruby! Nadjeska's warmth and genuine love for animals are evident. Over the week and a half that she cared for Ruby, she provided not only exceptional attention but also sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that Ruby was thriving in her care, and I loved seeing her happy and playful in the photos. Nadjeska's hospitality and dedication truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to any pet owner seeking a reliable and loving caretaker!”
“Samantha was such a wonderful friend to our baby Clover while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pics and updates and it was clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend Clover's stay a few days, and we really appreciated that! Samantha will definitely be our go-to when we need a sitter in Westbrook!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”

Mary Jo accepted a last minute booking and watched my dog Ruby while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was very flexible and communicative and Ruby came home healthy and happy! I have used her twice for out of town vacations and would definitely again!
