6. Arling H.
“We absolutely LOVED having Skip & Mary watch our Scarlett. We booked them for an extended stay (11/14 - 12/3) and she was super spoiled and so well taken care of. They were very responsive and sent regular updates/photos which only showed she was well loved in their care. Scarlett even had new experiences while in their care by going shopping at Cabela's. Scarlett felt right at ease in their home and had the run of the house just like at home. I couldn't have asked for better sitters for our little fur baby. I don't think Scarlett wanted to leave which just shows how great they were with her and how comfortable Scarlett felt. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks you so much Skip & Mary!!!”

“Celene was fantastic! She’s easy going and flexible with the pick up and drop off. She loves dogs and took such great care of Vinnie. We received multiple updates a day with photos. Vinnie got along with Penny really well. Would recommend and use her again!”
11. Penny M.
“Penny was fantastic with my pup! It was such a gift to find her and know he was in good hands when we were out of town. My puppy is a challenging, high energy guy, who could not stay just anywhere. Penny has so much knowledge and provided an enriching environment for him with new experiences. She even spent time training him, including new cues like having him lay down on his bed. I received daily updates and photos from Penny and will surely use her again if needed!!”
12. Birdie R.
“Birdie is AWESOME....I have an older somewhat needy Maltese that demands a lot of attention and needs some special care and she was on top of all his needs with love.....he settled right in and got comfy which he NEVER does and was comfy and cozy for his visit with her. I love a lot of updates and she got back with me immediately with any concerns when I reached out and of course sent adorable picture updates. I have already booked her for my trip in December. Love her. Most importantly so does my little panicky fur baby!!!! You get MUCH MORE than you pay for with her.”
13. Ashley R.
“Ashley was amazing! She took such great care of my dogs and was so loving and sweet. We were in town for my wedding and she even brought my dogs to my wedding venue that was almost 40 minutes away so that they could be in pictures. I would use her anytime I was in the Toledo area! Highly recommend.”

Heidi sent pictures everyday and communicated well with us. She even agreed to extending his stay for an extra day so I could spend it helping with a sick family member. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
