“She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.”
“This was the first time we’ve boarded our dogs, and we were nervous. Jessica put us at ease by doing a couple of meet and greets to see if the dogs would be compatible. One at a public place, and one at her house. She treated our dogs as if they were her own. Jessica sent us photos and updates each day. They had a blast, and we will definitely use Jessica again the next time we need to board them.”
“They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!”
“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”
“Wow. I will be back. Cassandra did a great job with my dog who is very distrusting of new people. She won her over and she did made her feel right at home.”
“Lifesaver and LOVES animals. Never left my dog with anyone other than my mom and I didn’t feel nervous at all. Sent me pictures and played with blaze. BLAZE LOVED THE BIRDS 🤣🫶🏼”
“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”
“I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!”
“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”
“Madison was great with my two doodles!! She was consistent with sending me updates and photos over the weekend while I was out of town. My dogs and her lab got along great as well, so that’s always a plus! I have already booked their next stay with her later this month 🙌🏻”
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”
“Amber made us feel very comfortable with leaving our dog. She sent us videos and pictures daily with updates to let us know he was doing well. It was evident. If needed, we will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kevin was amazing at working with me when I change her drop off time twice due to flight changes. He sent me pictures and videos and let me know Cookie was warming up to him (as I was worried about that, as she is wary of people she doesn't know). He was also accommodating in letting someone else pick up cookie for me as I wouldn't be able to. Cookie seemed to be her normal self when I returned home and hopefully she was good for Kevin during her stay. I would book with Kevin again as he was very chill and laid back about Cookie.”
“Jill & Dino were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much again for having Athena.”
“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”
“Crystal is amazing and I highly recommend her. She was great with Kinnick! She sent texts and pictures to keep me informed. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Kinnick seemed very happy when I picked him up. I would use Crystal again!!”
“Jaden and his girlfriend were amazing!!! They took such incredible care of our dogs. We were worried our dogs wouldn’t want to leave when we picked them up! They took them on walks at the lake, played and cuddled with them, and treated them as they were their own. Definitely book Jaden! He is amazing and a great communicator! Your dogs will be insanely blessed to stay with Jaden!!”
“Sadie loved her stay, with Kim and her family! Kim does a great job of updating you daily, and also sends pics daily, as well! They took great care of our fur baby, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter! 🙂”
“After reading several stellar reviews, I decided to contact Maggie to schedule time for her to kitty-sit my cat, Pebbles. I wasn't quite sure of the time frame to reserve because I didn't know when exactly I would be returning home. Maggie assured me it would be no problem if I needed an extra day. I did, in fact, request an additional day because when I returned home, I was too tired to drive across town to pick up my cat. Maggie said it was fine which I really appreciated! Before I brought Pebbles to Maggie's, I informed her that I wasn't sure how well she would interact with other animals because there are no other pets in my home. Maggie said not to worry and that she has space to separate pets if needed. As anticipated, the next day, Maggie texted to inform me that Pebbles was a bit stressed and did not appreciate the other animals. She kept Pebbles away from the other pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Maggie was very good about texting updates and pictures of Pebbles throughout my trip. This was definately peace of mind for me. I have never used a pet sitter before. While on trips, I have either taken my pets to the vet, family, or friends have come to my house to care for them. I was very pleased with Maggie taking care of Pebbles and will definately use her again in the future! I highly recommend Maggie to take care of your pet(s)!”
“This family took such well care of our boys while away! The updates and photos were so great! There was an incident that occurred and we were given all the details, updates, and even offered support from them! Will definitely choose them again!”

Madison provides top tier care! I know my babies are cared for and loved the entire stay, giving me true peace of mind. As long as I live in the area, my dogs will be staying with Madison every time I have to leave town, as long as she will continue to have them! She has a great sized yard, sends pictures of them during the stay, plays with them, and takes them on walks!
Mackenzie is an amazing pet sitter. She sent us a daily report about our dog, telling us about his behavior, how he was eating or the activities of the day, always with several pictures. She took a great care of Tyler Miguel, giving him extra love, snuggles and daily walks. She was very careful about him, our dog is 14 years old and she helped him to sit on the couch and bed. I totally recommend her and I will definitely contact her again to sit Tyler Miguel in the future.
