“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.”


“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”

“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 has watched Abby for us a few times now and it is evident how much she loves animals! She sends adorable photos and updates throughout the day and Abby is always comfortable and loved. During her last stay, Abby had a slight upset stomach and Donna let us know right away and sent frequent updates. She went above and beyond, offering to cook Abby a special meal and even checked in on her a few days after she was home. We highly recommend Donna and are so thankful for her excellent care of Abby!”

We will definitely contact you again!”

“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.”


“Thank you, Amanda, for taking such good care of our dog, Maya. We will be sure to use your great service in the near future and will recommend you to other families in need of pet sitting. It was great to have peace of mind on our vacation knowing Maya was getting TLC when not in her own environment.”


“Sarah is very kind and professional. She took great care of our yorkie and was understanding of our flight delays. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their pup to stay.”


“Bianka deserves so much more than 5 stars!! She was so wonderful with my yorkie pups, Blue and Mia. Both of my dogs have a little bit of anxiety when they are away from my husband and I. Bianka was patient and loving with them. It was clear in all of the pictures she sent me that Blue and Mia were so relaxed and comfortable in her home. Bianka’s 17 year old Yorkie is so sweet and welcomed my dogs into his home as well. I am usually very nervous leaving my dogs (my babies) with anyone, but Bianka made them feel so safe and loved that I was worry free the entire weekend. We will 100% be booking with Bianka again!!”
