1. Margaret H.

“Margaret and her family are the best. We are so lucky to have found them. Margaret is relaxed and excellent with dogs. I am glad my puppy gets socialization with her kids, pets, and a the bustle of a busy house. It’s really cute when her little kids come and hug my dog hello and goodbye, and I love all the photos Margaret sends of my pup playing with the children and other dogs. Margaret is flexible and really patient with my sometimes chaotic schedule. We are huge fans of this family!”


2. Allen F.


“Roo had another fantastic day in doggy paradise. She always comes home happy and completely pooped the next day. I know she got to play with atleast 4-5 other pups and one other was a puppy so that was great socialization and they could run around forever. I’m feeling like she gets great practice of learning her place in the pack at Allens. We are very happy with his care and interest in each individual dogs needs. Thanks again!”


3. Tommy O.

“Couldn’t have been happier with Tommy and the care he provided for Juniper. He’s very experienced and it shows. He sent pictures of junipers stay and other updates. Will definitely be booking more stays with Tommy.”


4. Evita G.

“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”

“Katherine was super communicative and very accommodating. We really appreciated her sending many photos during Cashew’s visit and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you!!”




10. Stephanie S.

“Great with my digs. Unfortunately, my work schedule changed and Stephanie’s house is not on my way to work. We have to find a sitter closer to us.”


11. Dahlia R.

“Our dog blue had a great time with dahlia for day care!”


12. Amanda P.

“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”


13. Brittany K.

“I am very grateful that we found Brittany. She didn’t pressure our dog who needs a moment to get used to the new situation. She sends us updates and photos so we know what is going on with our dog and it allows us to be calm. We always get a lot of details for which we are grateful. And what is very important with Brittany the contact is very good, she replies quickly. General is ready for the next meeting. 😊”


14. Michelle I.

“Nathaniel is a god sent. I’m so thankful we found him. Our Luci doesn’t like to be alone and gets bored easy. She is having so much fun. She goes 3 days a week, has other nice dogs to play with, gets lots of spoiling. She is pooped when she gets home. It’s perfect. Nathaniel is flexible and willing to keep Luci when need be and even gave her a bath today and cut her nails. I’m so thankful because Luci gets spayed tomorrow. I highly recommend Nathaniel and Michelle. I don’t worry at all when Luci is there. I know she is loved and treated like a princess.”


15. Maggie S.


“We're big fans of Maggie! She's a true dog whisperer. She takes really good care of our beloved blind mini-schnauzer and gives him the extra TLC he needs. The last time we dropped him off, he ran to her with a wagging tail as if he were greeting an old friend. We highly recommend Maggie for your dog-sitting needs - she has a calm and loving presence (our dog is always smiling when we pick him up) and she is quick to respond to our texts. ”


16. Rabecca R.

“Charlie had an awesome time with Rabecca. He came home tired... I was astounded! Ethan did great at tiring him out and he definitely enjoyed the homely/ lively atmosphere of her house... including the back yard”


17. April S.

“April and her family and pup Zoe are amazing! They are incredibly lovely people and Zoe and Luca got along great. They took excellent care of Luca and I don't think he wanted to leave when we picked him up. :)”




18. Alea K.

“Alea made sure my dog would feel comfortable, slowly introduced him to the foster dog. He looked very relaxed all day from the pictures I received and we’ll definitely be back! ❤️”


19. Woody R.

“Recently relocated and wanted someone who cares for my boop just like I do! Woody met up with us the day before to make sure Teddy was comfortable with him. By the 3rd day, Teddy was over the moon excited to be dropped off for a day with Woody!”
