“Thank you Emily for your exceptional care provided for Sprouty. Throughout your time, you consistently went above and beyond our expectations. The extra time you spent getting to know Sprouty's unique personality, quirks, and anxieties truly made a significant impact on Sprouty's well-being. The regular updates and pictures you provided were immensely reassuring and helped us feel connected to Sprouty, while we were away. Would recommend you to our friends and family and would definitely consider next time if we are in the area. Thank you.”
“Kristie was one of the best dog sitters we have had for Bruno. She was not only professional but deeply passionate about the well-being of animals. What truly stood out was her remarkable responsiveness and flexibility. Despite my last-minute request, she graciously accommodated my needs. Throughout my dog's stay, Kristie maintained excellent communication with cute photos of Bruno, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. She even gave my dog with a toy to take home with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristie to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care services and I 100% would go to her again for future needs.”
“Ana did a wonderful job caring for my Marley. She sent me daily pictures of Marley and made it so much easier to go on vacation knowing that my girl was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Ana if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Donna was incredible!! She watched Abby for almost a week and sent us twice daily updates, pictures, and videos. We could tell Abby felt at ease and she really enjoyed Donna’s comfortable home and outdoor space. Donna gave Abby’s meds right on schedule and even helped her with an itchy spot, applying medicated cream and a shirt to prevent more irritation. We could tell she has tons of experience with animals and we are so thankful for her help. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!”
“Would give 1000/10 if possible. Sarah is absolutely the best!! I’m such a worrier when it comes to my babies but I trust her with their lives! She took good care of my girl Maeve when her ear was irritated and made cute remarks about her silly faces 😂 She keeps in touch and send pictures which are always fun to get! I was such a nervous wreck but you know she’s wonderful because my dogs just run off when we get there and don’t look back because they love her! Will always use her when I need someone I trust with my fur babies!!!”
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”
“If I could give Katherine 10 stars I would! I am so thankful I found Katherine- she kept me in the loop daily on how Spot was doing . I was so happy I found a place where spot was loved and I knew he was in good hands! Spot is an older dog and I was nervous about him making accidents but Katherine was prepared for him. I am very very thankful!”
“There’s no one else I’ll ever trust my pug with. I was terrified to leave him somewhere new, but Amanda was great and her house was perfect for all the dogs. Calvin had the best time!!”
“Christina was great, giving me updates on Pinot, she was very accommodating too,( had to travel last minute). I definitely will be using her services again”
“Marleny and her family were great. I'd dare say that we've never felt more at ease away from from home. I have no doubt that our smallest family member was safe and secure. Marleny was very responsive to our communications and provided updates to keep us informed and at ease.. Marleny has our full recommendations.. Thank you Marleny..”
“Sharon is the ultimate host! Our pup is super happy and well cared for each time he stays with her and her family. He loves all the attention, walks and love he receives from them all while we are away and is looking forward to his next getaway.”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Very simple…. Bianka is incredible! We received daily updates and pictures. This is the first time we left our dog with someone besides family - so at first we were nervous. What we soon realized was she gave incredible care to our pup. We will absolutely use her again!!!!”
“Our pups had a great time with Melissa. They were well taken care of and had lots of attention. I loved the daily photos. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Doug and his family took very good care of our lil' pup. We were grateful to know she was in safe keeping with them. They were patient with her while she warmed up and they enjoyed her snuggles when she finally did. Doug sent photos & updates at regular intervals. We appreciated his prompt responses to our questions. Thanks, Doug & family for keeping Penny in your care!”
“Kim did an amazing job with my 2 dogs just like last time (see previous review). I feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the first time I was boarding a pet. Amanda was so thorough and professional with the process. My cat shy at first easily fit in her house. Im soo pleased with the whole process from Hand off to pick up. My kitty was taken care so well. I would definitely use her again if the need arises. You cant go wrong. Loved how well she took care of my Roxie.”
“Stefanie takes such good care of Prada when she watches her. I received plenty of pictures to update her stay. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy time away knowing that my fur baby is being taken care of. So grateful!”
“Matthew was such a great help. I needed some help on the fly and Matthew was very quick to respond and accommodate. He took care of our dog so well by sending updates and pictures. We had piece of mind on this trip. Thank you and highly recommend!”
