“Lisa is the BEST with our little girls. Both of our girls have anxiety issues; She comforted them both by holding them, loving them and even hand feeding them. We are lucky to have her watch them for us. Thank you!!!!!”
“Ruth is wonderful! She took great care of my little poodle. I think he enjoyed his time with Ruth because he was his happy self when I picked him up, not scared or smelling stressed like when he has stayed at big commercial pet care places.”
“Thank you for taking care of Pinkie. Your huge backyard was a fantastic bonus! Lisa and her husband have sent regular updates and photos daily. I really appreciate your service and look forward to booking with you again.”
“Melissa is a wonderful sitter and she always takes great care of my two pups. They truly treat them like part of the family and it’s wonderful to have peace of mind when I need to have them stay with Melissa!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Chloe had the best time ever with Sara! She is incredibly lovely, patient, and truly understands how to make dogs feel at home. Chloe instantly connected with her, and it was heartwarming to see how much she enjoyed being around Sara and her adorable little baby, whom Chloe absolutely loved. As a fellow Italian, I felt an instant connection too, and our little coffee chats while the pups played were such a bonus! Sara went above and beyond to make Chloe feel loved and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly, highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you, Sara, for everything!”
“Linda has a really sweet personality and is very accommodating. I needed extended care for Sasuke and she said yes, with no hesitation. He’s been having a blast with her. She really cares for animals and it shows.”
“They were soooo awesome, they really took care of our dogs, they were so nice when we got there. It felt that we were part of their family and they were our family too, it was so comfortable to be around them. And we didn’t had to worry for our dogs to leave them with them because they were super nice and confident. I would definitely recommend to you guys!”
“Maria went above and beyond to take care of Lee. I can tell Lee was really happy in their house and enjoyed all the playtime and activities her family did with Lee. Thank you Maria!”
“We had to make last minute travel plans and Tiffany was very accommodating and understanding. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip. She made our dog feel comfortable and at home. Highly recommend.”
“"We couldn't be happier with the care Ella received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving and capable hands. The regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind, knowing she was enjoying her time. She came home happy,. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for treating our furry family member like you own”
“Damon and Danyale were amazing with communicating and keeping me updated on my pup. This was my first time using a sitter and they made the experience a breeze. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Judith was great! She had excellent communication and listened to the care my pup, Greg, needed and accommodated him! I know Greg was in great hands, which gave me peace of mind while he stayed at her house! Greg and her dog got along great during his stay as well! I would highly recommend!”
“Ashley and Alexander treated Millie like their own! All the pictures I received from them Millie looked very comfortable and happy. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Millie was in great hands!!”
“I’ve lost count of how many time we’d booked Jasmine to watch Nova. Such a great dog sitter. Very profesional and you can tell she loves working with dogs. Every time we’ve needed her to watch nova she’s been available. We will continue to go through Jasmine when we need someone to help watch nova.”
“We boarded our two dogs with Leslie and had a great experience. Leslie cares about doing an excellent job and is very receptive to accommodating what your pets need for their care. They have a very safe home environment and a spacious fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play in. Leslie also keeps you updated on how your dogs are doing and sends photo updates. Amazing experience and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Our sitter, Haydn and her husband, Adam, were the absolute BEST! Ripley knew right away that these two people were safe and loving and so she took right to them. She was thoroughly loved on and cared for better than I even dared hope. Ripley is a Great Dane so she is not a small house guest. Yet she was given the green light to snuggle right into their laps and onto their couches and beds. Haydn will do whatever is best for your dog’s temperament and wellbeing. In turn, Ripley made their house her home while I was away. Not a trace of the typical anxious and hesitant traits that Great Danes have in new environments. I was shocked! All that to say, I love our sitter and so does my dog. We WILL be using them for all our future dog boarding needs. You should too!”
“The last time I boarded my dogs at a large facility in 2022, they contracted Canine Influenza and one died as a result. Ohbe, my other dog, nearly died but somehow survived. Needless to say, he's never been back to a boarding facility and, as a result of his illness, will be on a lot of meds for the rest of his life. We've been taking him with us when we travel or we don't go. This time we could not bring him to a family reunion/vacation. Finding someone to take care of him was hugely stressful for us. Then we found Laura S. and she assured us she could handle Ohbe's special needs. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay, which was hugely reassuring. Laura also asked lots of questions, which were very insightful and beyond even what we'd thought to tell her. We dropped Ohbe off for his stay and before we even got to the airport Laura sent us an update! It was those daily updates with photos and little videos that brought us peace of mind. We found ourselves able to relax and actually enjoy our vacation worry-free knowing Ohbe was in good hands. My niece was jealous because her dog sitter never sends updates. We know Ohbe enjoyed his time with Laura and her husband, too. I will not hesitate to bring him back to "Camp Laura." She treated him like a member of her family. We could not be happier!”
“Elley gave my dog all the love and care I could hope for. He came back very happy and well taken care of. Elley gave continuous updates and was very flexible with a last minute change. Will definitely use her again.”
