Julie and Kenneth were wonderful with our miniature schnauzer, River! We received updates with pictures on how she was doing throughout her stay with them, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her with this wonderful family! Highly recommend!

I was extremely nervous about leaving my puppy with someone for the very first time ever, however Corey made this over night stay very easy and stress free! He was very calm with Chico which made it this experience so awesome! Chico had a ball! All hands down I would recommend Corey!

Geneive and her family were so loving and attentive to my pup. My dog is a high energy breed and she was sure to keep her engaged and a part of the family. She was willing to meet with me and keep my dog at the last minute (she literally saved me!). She sent pictures and video that assured me that my sweet girl was happy and safe! We will definitely be return visitors. Thank you so much Geneive!

Shelby is such an awesome spirit! I got called into work and she took my Golden Retriever Lilly last minute and made her feel right at home. Im very picky about who watches my fur baby. But after meeting her I was certain my Lilly would be loved and spoiled like I would treat her and she did. Shelby has a sweet dog named Wrangler and they hit off very well. She sent pics and vids all day showing my doggy having a great time chilling with her. I look forward to booking her more in the future.

I don’t think there is enough space here for me to compliment Marina enough! Her patience and and attention to care, to dogs as well as their humans, can’t be beat. As a new dog mom to a higher maintenance adolescent pup, both my dog and I had lots of needs and questions. Marina attended to them all with 100% positivity and enthusiasm. Her love for what she does is apparent and I very much hope to be a repeat client.

Cheri is absolutely fabulous! (I almost don't want to share because I want to keep her to myself!) She kept my 2 Cavachons - one who is very timid - and my girls LOVED Cheri! They were as comfortable in her home as they are in mine (and it didn't take long). Cheri sent me photos and little updates every day I was away which was just delightful. When I came to pick them up, the girls were excited to see me, but appropriately said, "Goodbye," to Cheri with additional pets and my shy one even rolled on her back for one more tummy rub!! I am so grateful to have found a homey, safe, and loving place for my pups to get individual attention while I'm away.

Ayana was great!! She was able to take care of Theo as if he was at home. She provided updates and was available for my last minute booking request. Theo seemed happy and really like himself compare to others we have used on this app. I will be definitely using Ayana's services again if Theo is welcomed back!!

Excellent communication and greatly appreciated the pictures to let us know how our doggie was doing. It was good for our pet to get a little running around with his dog in his backyard.

Danielle always go above and beyond! She’s watched my older dog Brice several times and he always enjoys his time at her home. She makes sure to always keep me updated on how he’s doing during his stay with lots of pictures and videos which I really love. Recently she watched my younger dog Gavin who is anxious away from home but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe and secure while we were away. Would recommend for any of your dog sitting needs :)
