“I feel so lucky to have found Jennifer for my pup sitter. She and her family not only love dogs, they treated mine as if they were family. THAT is what I've been looking for. I'm not a fan of crating dogs, or putting them in a boarding kennel. My two dogs must have enjoyed their stay, because they came home happy and healthy. I feel like I have more freedom to visit family or take time off to do things for myself, knowing my two poodles will be well loved and cared for. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Cyndi was nothing short of amazing while taking care of our dog Birdie for a week! We were in constant communication as she sent me messages and pictures of her every morning and night. In all of the pictures, Birdie looked so comfortable and I know that Cyndi took care of our girl like her own!”
“Matt was fantastic! He sent plenty of updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is prone to environmental allergies and Matt was very communicative when he saw our dog getting itchy- he helped provide Benadryl with our confirmation and made sure to keep a close eye on our dog while we were away! Thank you very much!!”
“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””
“She is a fantastic sitter. As soon as my baby goes through them doors she is happy just because she feels safe and have someone to play with. From the pictures I have received she is comfortable as if she lives there. I will definitely continue to book with her!”
“Lovely house and neighborhood. Great yard. Very kind and gentle with my dog. Followed care instructions. Great communication and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommend”
“Sarah did a great job of caring for our 15-year-old miniature poodle over 6 days. As we entered her home, she helped him feel calm by closing away other pets she was caring for until he had a chance to explore her house on his own. Once he felt comfortable, he met and adjusted to the other pets. She also gave him his daily medicine and sent pictures of him resting comfortably (he sleeps alot!) or being alongside the other pets throughout his stay. It was a relief to know he was well cared for while we were away. I will definitely book with Sarah again the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”
“Jennifer was really great to work with and took excellent care of ourJewelie. She sent daily pics of her playing with her youngest Border Collie Tilly. We highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future!”
“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”
“Peyton was available to board our dog last minute and did a wonderful job. Our dog can be anxious when she’s away from home and Peyton took great care of her and provided lots of updates and photos which put us at ease knowing she was safe and having fun.”
“Liz is fabulous! She took such amazing care of our sweet girl. Our dog loved her after the first meet and greet! Liz was great about communicating and if we are ever back in the area we would use her in a second!”
“Randi provided great service. I really needed someone to watch my dog (Tank) for me because I was going out of town in a rush. Randi responded and she picked up the phone when I called her. A lot of people who have a business lose business because they have a slow response time. Thank you Randi you and your kids are the best and Tank really likes the treats you gave me for Tank.”
“Not that Jessica's rates are expensive, but I wanted to try another sitter this time to expand my options and went with a cheaper alternative. Guess the old adage is true, cheaper isn't necessarily better. This option had it's problems, and Jessica offered to go pick up Cos. He enjoys his stay when he's with Jess. She has cemented herself to our choice next time!”
“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”
