1. Amanda L.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing. Very quick to respond to all communication. Her home is welcoming and she is so kind. Our dog was super nervous (his personality) and she welcomed him in. After less than 24 hours he didn’t really want to leave his new buddy, Boscoe, and new friend Amanda. 100% recommend Amanda if you are in need!”
2. Dalani S.
“Dalani is one of my best friends from work I when a a 2 week vacation last year and I had her watch my 10 week old husky named Ace. She did a great job! She really helped us stay on told of potty training and even did our exact routine so he wouldn’t get off schedule. I think that was the best cause when we got home he was pretty much potty training and it was really awesome that we didn’t have to restart the whole process over again!”
3. Jaime P.
“Highly recommend boarding with Jamie!! This was our first time boarding our dogs. Jamie made the whole process very simple and stress free. She sent videos and updated us throughout Chester and Ginger’s stay. We will be using Jamie for boarding again in the future!”
4. Thresa R.
“Thresa was an amazing sitter as we came in from out of state for a nearby Dells family vacation. She happily did a meet & greet via video before booking months in advance and then closer to she touch based on the care details & gave a video tour of the home. Her communication continued throughout the actual stay, always sending me updates on how he was doing. Her vet tech experience also gave me another level of reassurance! Her two pups and husband showered Oakley with extra love & attention too… I’m sure he would’ve been more than happy to stay with them longer! Thank you again!”
5. Daniel P.
“Daniel took great care of Theo at his home over our weekend away. He gave updates on how he was doing, and was very prompt in responding to all correspondence.

10. Kylie B.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of breeds and ages of dogs. I work at a doggy daycare as well and have been trained in dog behavior, body language, and leash work. I absolutely love working with dogs and am responsible and caring. I love walking and caring for animals so helping walk dogs or let dogs out would fit in perfectly for my daily walks and would work out! I am very responsible and take great pride in the care of others animals as my own. I treat them as they were my own. This includes potty breaks at a timely manner, feedings, loving, and playtime!
11. Adriana W.

She made sure to ask lots of questions about their routine, so we knew they would be well looked after! Thank you, Adriana, for all of the sweet updates and for allowing us to be worry-free on our vacation!”
12. Sarah M.
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”
13. April S.
“April and her Husband took such good care of our Lucy while we went on vacation. She sent pics of Lucy each day so we could see she settled in with them nicely. If we need a Pup sitter again we will definitely hire April.”
14. Edith S.
“Edith was great with our puppy Artemis! We were able to meet beforehand for a short notice meet and greet before the holidays. Artemis got along really well with her two dogs and it seemed like he was having a lot of fun throughout the day- he came back exhausted and happy to see us after a couple of weeks, but we could tell that he was well taken care of. Edith sent frequent picture updates, and we felt like he was in good hands the whole time. I would definitely book Artemis here again in the future!”

“A+ for Bri R. Bri was excellent to work with. She was quick and clear in communication, flexible with evolving plans, sent wonderful photos of my dog during the visit, and clearly cared for her well. Going above and beyond she took my dog for a hike in the beautiful local state park. She priced her accommodations reasonably and made me feel very comfortably with the care given. Thank you, Bri! Paul”
19. David R.
“I had the pleasure of using David’s exceptional dog-sitting services. He cared for my yorkie-mix and labrador retriever for a short family vacation. His professionalism and welcoming nature made me feel comfortable leaving my pets in his care. His home, nestled amongst trees and with a secure yard, provided the perfect environment for my dogs. Regular updates and pictures he provided during my time away helped me relax. I would highly recommend David’s services to others.”
20. LAVAL [VAL] S.
“Val and his wife took wonderful care of our dog, Pepper. We were out of town for almost a week and Pepper was in very good hands. Val sends updates and photos, and accommodates the needs of each individual dog he cares for. He made sure Pepper was comfortable, safe, and got the food and exercise she needed. We will definitely have our dog stay with Val again next time we are on a trip.”
