We have been really happy with the care our anxious dog has received with Austin and Morgan. They’re very conscientious and take the time to really understand our pup’s needs. For us, that includes giving daily medication and allowing our dog on the couch! They give updates/photos and we were very grateful that they took our dog in a last minute emergency. Highly recommend!
Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!
Taylor was FANTASTIC. We had never left our dog with anyone besides family before so this was a big leap of faith. Our dog is super anxious and Taylor worked to make her comfortable. She was incredibly responsive and sent lots of updates. Definitely spoiled our girl.
10/10 recommend Chase as a dog sitter! Chase provided daily updates on Sadie throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. He also arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so Sadie could get comfortable in the new environment prior to the stay. He followed all instructions carefully and communicated any updates, additions, or modifications that came up during her stay. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service. I highly recommend Chase and will definitely be using him again!
I've left my 3 mth old puppy with Karisa twice and will definitely book her again in the future. During our most recent stay, I ran into an unexpected scheduling conflict, and Karisa was incredibly gracious and accommodating. Her flexibility provided so much peace of mind, and I truly appreciate her level of care.
Cameron was great! She provided daily updates and pictures. My dog is very anxious and I could tell with each passing day, she looked more at ease and happier in each photo I received from Cameron. I especially loved the picture of my dog cuddling with her! I was able to feel at ease during my trip thanks to Cameron.
