1. Maegan K.
“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”
2. Zeiydah L.
“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”

5. Imonia R.
“Nia was so amazing! Communicated well and was very accommodating. She sent lots of videos and photos. And I can tell my pup enjoyed herself. I will definitely book her again!”
6. Tiffany M.
“Tiffany was excellent with my 3 fur babies. I have one of each age group and she was able to accommodate them all. She send frequent pictures and videos with updates and was very responsive to my text messages. Good communication is so important when leaving your babies in the care of someone else. I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her services!”
7. Sarah G.
“Sarah and her family gave such good care to Miles! He got plenty of love and cuddles from her and her family, & I felt really safe leaving him with her. Miles is an emotional support dog to me, as I suffer from PTSD, so it was hard to leave him for 19 days with anyone. After meeting Sarah & her family I knew he would feel loved and safe with them. They went above and beyond in every way! Sending pictures, of Miles and her beautiful children, & giving him an antibiotic he unexpected needed everyday. I had a difficult trip to the UK, to scatter my parents ashes in a place they went on their honeymoon. Sarah made leaving Miles as easy as it could be for me. I highly recommend Sarah!I absolutely can not fault her in anyway! Any pet owner would be privileged to leave their pet in Sarah’s excellent care!”

11. Sky S.
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
12. Trishala S.
“I am so happy to have found Trishana and Rahul to watch my boy Puszkin. Not only did he have a great time there playing with their Golden named Butter, I had peace of mind knowing that he was well cared for and loved and was treated like a member of the family. Great care and I highly recommend if you are looking for someone to really care for your dog. I have already rebooked!”
13. Annette K.
“Annette was amazing with Hercules! He was immediately right at home with her and she was so conscientious about following our instructions.

16. Cache T.
“Wife was very nervous leaving her baby with someone new while we went on vacation. Cache was wonderful with daily updates and pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her and be a repeat client.”
17. John D.
“John was awesome!!! To start, John was very accommodating, and was able to care for my dog, Griffin on short notice. John sent beautiful pictures so I could see how my boy was doing, and the pictures actually showed my dog engaged and happy, going on walks, playing in the yard, and sitting on the couch relaxing. John was very understanding about my dog's accidents and learned Griff's potty needs. John even bought Griff a halloween neck scarf and let him greet trick-or-treaters, something my dog truly enjoys doing with me. John treated Griff like he was his own and created a home away from home. I trusted John with precious cargo, and he took great care. Will definitely request his help again!”
18. Debbie A.
“Debbie was AMAZING! She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. She was so kind accommodating my last-minute request and answered all of my questions. Im usually so anal about who I leave my dogs with and schedule meet-and-greets well I’m advance, but something popped up last minute and she was She has a HUGE beautiful fenced in yard that my dogs went crazy for. Her two sweet chihuahuas were great company. Could not recommend more.”
19. Kaylee C.
“Great thanks!”
20. Sylva & Mark M.
“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”
