“Royal and Rhonda are amazing. I left my two mini pom poms in their care for 6days. They sent me pics everyday of my babies and updates on them. This was the first time I had left with someone that was not family. I felt very confident that they would take of them as one of their own. For now on they will be my doggie sitter when I’m out of town. I can’t seem to Thank them enough. I recommend them to whom ever is looking for doggie sitter.”




5. Hilary R.


“Hilary was great! My dog (Dakota) loved his time with her. She kept me updated with great photos and his status. I can also tell that he got a lot of exercise (and had a lot of fun). He was good and tired once he got home - just like he is when he returns from doggy day care. I will definitely schedule more time with Hilary - highly recommended!!”

I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care.

18. Jeffrey H.

“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


19. Amy M.


“We are new to the area and are also worried when sending our Tucker to a new place because he can be pretty anxious but Amy was wonderful! We did the meet and greet to see her home and meet her and Kris, which wasn’t great to get a feel for it before we dropped Tucker off. Tucker only stayed one night but Amy kept in contact, sent a bunch of pictures, and overall was a wonderful host for our pup. Will definitely use again in the future!”


20. Ashley R.

“Ashley is loving, responsible and communicative. Our dog was pretty out of practice being away from his family due to the pandemic. Ashley made sure our dog settled in and enjoyed his stay. Our dog came back happy, well-exercised and relaxed. Thank you, Ashley!”
