“Allison was great! She sent us texts and pictures, and we could see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. Our dogs were welcomed like part of her family. We were very happy with her thoughtful and caring nature.”
“Dexter had an amazing time with Liz! We were a bit apprehensive because he's a little guy who can be nervous around larger dogs, and Liz was watching 2 big friendly dogs the same weekend. Luckily, Liz coordinated a meet and greet with all 3 dogs beforehand and it went great! We got lots of happy pics of Dexter while we were away, and were so happy that he obviously got as much attention as he did. Needless to say, Dexter came back happy and healthy. We definitely hope Liz is free next time we need a dog sitter, and Dexter hopes so too.”
“Biscuit thoroughly enjoyed his visit with Shanagay. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates to let us see how much fun he was having. Biscuit romped and played with Shanagay's little dog Cash and the pics were adorable! We'll definitely call on Shanagay's dog sitting services for Biscuit again and again! Thanks so much for doing such a great job.”
“At first I was nervous since it was my first time using the service but I had to travel out for six days of business conferences. Steve and his wife and son are awesome. They even had my guy in the pool teaching him how to swim. I got tons of pics every day and texts on how he was doing. Towards the end I was worried if my dog would want to return home with me!!! These people are awesome amazing giving souls. I am thankful to have found them and to know there are people out there like this. Sent from my iPhone”
“Nancy and her husband are great. They walked our dog like every 2 hrs and sent some great pictures. They were very concerned about keeping him on his schedule and even let him sleep in there room. We will be sure to book them the next time we need a sitter.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
