“Jennifer was such a wonderful host for my Simba! She made him feel very comfortable and treated him as if he was one of her own dogs. She gave me a tour of her home and backyard where Simba would be spending most of his time to ensure he would be in a safe and loving environment. She has three dogs that were very playful and welcoming to my pup and they seemed to have a great time playing together. Additionally, Jennifer sent pictures throughout the day keeping me updated on Simba and how comfortable and happy he was. I will absolutely have Jennifer sit for Simba again!!”


“Kelsi was great! She was able to take care of my dog on short notice when my original plans fell through. I received plenty of photos while Noda was boarded and she seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Kelsi!”


“Amy has watched both of my pups numerous times. She has always done a great job taking care of them and sending pictures throughout the day so we know they’re enjoying themselves. Recently, we had to make the difficult decision to put our oldest dog to sleep before we had a scheduled booking with her. She was incredibly understanding and immediately ensured we received a full refund. The first time we took our other pup to stay with her after losing her older brother, Amy went above and beyond taking care of her for us. When we decided to pick her up a day early because we were missing her, Amy was thoughtful enough to refund us for the day even though we had no intention of asking for a refund. I would 100% recommend Amy if you want a quality, trustworthy sitter for your dogs.”


“Shakita was great! My dog who is normally very shy was comfortable and extremely happy while staying with Shakita. He had an amazing time playing with the other small dogs. I could tell by the pictures she sent everyday :) I will definitely be booking with Shakita again!”

“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”


“Rebekah, was absolutely a great sitter for my Bucky. Daily pictures of how much fun and exercise she was given. Best part on pickup I could see how much fun he had since he was out in the yard playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”


“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”


“I was worried about leaving my little anxious pup but after meeting Denise all my fears went away! I could tell she was knowledgeable and knew what to do and was able to enjoy my trip!! So glad I booked with Denise :)”


“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”



“Cyndi took great care of my Tito! She sent lots of pictures, let him sleep with her, and gave him lots of love to make his weekend just like being at home. Tito had so much fun!”



“Amber is FANTASTIC! She’s incredibly professional and takes such good care of my fur baby! During Chase’s overnight visit she kept me updated on his emotional well-being (sending a pic of him smiling), how little or much he ate, and his potty breaks! Amber is the only sitter I trust with my pup! I highly recommend Amber!”


“Absolutely the best sitter we’ve ever had! She was great at communicating and sharing updates throughout our trip. She really made us feel so much better about leaving our pup and was so accommodating of our pup’s little quirks and needs. We plan on booking with Jenna for all future trips!”


“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”


“Denton and Elizabeth provided excellent care of our girls over the Thanksgiving holiday! The accommodations were clean, large, and just what our pups needed. We would not hesitate to book with Denton and Elizabeth again!”


“Angel was an absolute lifesaver while I was out of town! She did a fantastic job taking care of my dog, making sure she was well-fed. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. I'd highly recommend Angel to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”


“Alicia is a wonderful pet sitter, she’s kind, caring and took excellent care of my Coco. When I met with her for a meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages. I was so relieved that Coco was well cared for while we were away.”



“Home away from home! Lesley loved on our two sweet fur babies as if they were her own. It was great to know that our babies were loved on and part of a family while we were away. Thank you!!”
