“Kathleen was amazing as always! We received so many pics and videos of Archie on his many walks, eating, visiting neighbors (including his buddy Ron) and enjoying his friends Deion and Duke. We felt at ease our entire trip knowing Archie was having the best time and being well taken care of. Thank you so much for showing Archie so much love and your exceptional service.”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“We have used Victoria for over a year now! She takes such amazing care of our Clarence. As much as we hate leaving him behind when we travel it helps knowing that he will be well cared for while we are gone.”
“Maria and Michael are such amazing pet sitters. They have become our go to when finding someone to take care of Charlotte. They are constantly keeping me updated and sending me photos of Charlotte. I would recommend in a heart beat.”

“We have asked them to watch our pups for the past few years now and they are absolutely wonderful sitters. Sebastian and his wife really spoil and give our dogs the attention and care they deserve all while keeping us updated on their stay. As a family of 5 with 3 small children, I think our dogs really enjoy the break they get when staying with Sebastian 😅. They are our go to sitters and we can’t thank them enough for all the love and attention they give our pups!”
“EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you so much for loving on our dog while we were away. Liberty liked being with you and the other friendly dogs so much that I am sure she is missing them now that she is home. We will definitely be using your services again and again. Thanks for all the pics and daily updates too! Our family enjoyed seeing them each day. We missed her so much but could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Liberty was having an absolute ball with you.”
“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
“Raeann was amazing with my dog. She is a true animal lover, who made my dog feel very loved. She was super accommodating with dates and with pick up and drop off arrangements. She ensured that my dog was comfortable. She asked me many questions just to make my doggo feel at ease and happy at her place, which I appreciated. She sent me picture updates and communicated with me throughout my dog's stay. I could not have asked for a better person.”
“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”

“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”
“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”
“Kristen was fantastic. She's very flexible with the schedule and allowed us to pick our pup up throughout our trip so he could join us at the dog friendly locations. We would 100% use her again if needed.”
“We could not be more impressed & thankful for the care our Stevie received from Sarah! she sent us pictures in an update of Stevie every day and loved him and took care of him like he was one of her pack❤️ We really appreciated how Sarah‘s home and yard were dog friendly; that was a huge deal to us. And Sarah’s doggies were the perfect buddies for Stevie! We are so glad we have someone dependable and is loving a Sarah to take care of our Stevie when we need him to be Doggie sat.”
“Our pup just spent the last week with Christy and it went really well! I’m always nervous to board her but this was the second time we’ve been able to have Christy watch her and I definitely was a lot less anxious about it. We had no issues at all and she was extremely prompt with communication as well as pick up and drop off. We appreciate you making this so easy for us!”
