“Everything went great as expected. Thanks for keeping us posted with all the pictures and videos. Holly was for sure in great hands and will look to schedule another visit in the future. A++”



“I feel so grateful that I found someone like Genna to watch my English Setter. He plays beautifully with her dog and is treated like part of their family. She gives him the love and care that gives me peace of mind when he's with her. The huge, fenced in backyard is another plus.The photographs and video she sends on a regular basis make me smile. I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for an outstanding sitter for their dog!”


“Mark was awesome. Nisha was well taken care of and loved her stay. Lots of walks and snuggles. Felt very comfortable leaving Nisha with Mark and will definitely board with him again. Thanks much Mark.”


“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”


“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”


“Andrea and our dog, Milo, became best buddies immediately, and spent 3 lovely days together. Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”


“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”


“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”


“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”


“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”


“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
