5. Christian B.
“I can’t recommend Christian enough! We have a 2.5 year old Aussie doodle named Merle, and Christian and her family treat him like he is a part of their family. Christian lives next door to us and our pups have become best buds. They often play together in her back yard. Christian has cared for Merle multiple times when we have been out of town and each time she gives daily updates and sends the sweetest pictures of her and her family and their dog Copper playing with and loving on Merle. She has always been so kind and helpful and the best part is I know she genuinely loves doing it, which makes me feel at ease when we are away. Your fur baby will be in such caring and loving hands with Christian, I promise!”

8. Scott B.
“Scott was great with our two dogs. We got pictures and he seemed to actually enjoy being around the dogs. We have 2 mod-high energy babies and he managed them well. We will definitely be using him again.”
9. Holly W.
“Nothing but great things to say about Holly’s care and abilities. My 9 yr old pup Callie always gets excited knowing she’s going to be cared for by Holly. Unfortunately, I travel quite a bit and need a responsible caregiver to look after Callie. Callie would often mope when she’d see the suitcase come out. Since Holly started looking after her, when the suitcase comes out, Callie gets excited. Holly has special diet needs and Holly is very diligent in keeping those needs met. I highly recommend Holly. 👍🏼”

14. Dallas W.
“Dallas took such good care of Coco while I was away! It was clear from the pictures she sent that he enjoyed his visit and was getting plenty of attention.

17. Wyatt F.
About: I have had my own dogs as well as dog-sit for friends and family my entire life. Have had some experience in dog training as well. I am currently working full time on a hybrid schedule that includes 2 office days per week. My job is very low stress while I work from home so I am able to care for dogs while I work remotely. In my home, I have a large fully fenced in yard for dogs to enjoy while being safe. I live alone so dogs will not be bothered by children or anybody else.
18. Hope S.
“She was wonderful with my pup, Sasha. I will be using her again if i need to. She sent lots of pics and kept me updated the whole time. She was kind and Sasha grew to love her dogs in a short time as well. Very pleased with everything! :)”
19. Barbara & Trey E.
“They did an amazing job. We got photos several times a day everyday! We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy. She was even better behaved when we returned. We are very picky and they exceeded our expectations!”
20. Erin & Joseph S.
“We could not have asked for a better experience! Rufus was so well taken care of. We received photos and updates on how he was doing which eased our minds while on vacation as well as some training tips when we picked him up! I was nervous leaving him with someone I had just met but I would NEVER hesitate to leave him again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur baby while we were away! Your love and passion for animals shines!”
