Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.

Kajae and Emily were awesome with Zoey. This was Zoey's first time staying with someone and away from home. They provided me with pictures and videos of Zoey playing with them and their daughter. I appreciated their involvement with her and knowing she was a bit nervous but they made her feel right at home. Thank you Emily and Kajae, also thanks to Brooke and their pet Sage!

Archer just loves going to her house! He waits at her front door each time she opens it he sniffs her legs and runs inside and makes himself at home! He is very comfortable there.

Ashley and her family were great caregivers for our pup, Murphy! Communication was excellent (loved getting photo updates during the stay), and Murphy seemed to have really enjoyed her time at their home.

Jon, Jessica and family took such great care of our golden! He came home very worn out, so we know he was loved on, well taken care of, and very active while in their care! They sent us pictures of our golden while we were gone. Great communication and very flexible! We will be using them again!!!

Archer has stayed with Theresa for 9 booking so far. It seems like it’s a second home for archer. Archer is our daughter dog who got deployed. We travel a lot . So for us it’s nice to have confidence in someone to take care of our loved one! Thank you Theresa

We had a last minute need for our little pup to be watched over night and Amanda pulled through for us! She sent a picture of Skye just loving it up. When we picked her up she didn't even want to leave. It's so amazing to know that my baby is in great loving hands while we are away.

I highly recommend Jackie! I received many pictures of my pups while I was away which was very reassuring for me. I will most definitely look for her again the next time I need someone. She also has a fenced in background which was perfect for a ton of play time.

Sadie, a yellow Labrador husky dog, got to spend some quality time with people and came back happy and content, & slept as soundly as I have ever seen. Crystal (the dog-sitter) said Sadie did well with the children and left the infants alone, so that went well. I was grateful Crystal allowed the dog to interact with the kids and even come into the house. I wasn't quite sure whether Sadie would behave. She did grab items off shelves, a habit I am trying to bring under control, but the dog interacted normally with the people in the house and that went very well. I was very grateful to have found a good home where Sadie felt comfortable staying. The dog-boarding went even better than I had expected! I really appreciate Crystal's kind and caring attitude toward the dog-boarding and will definitely look her up for Sadie the next time I need to find Sadie a place to stay.

Hannah was great! She accepted watching our dog Nille on short notice cause our other dog sitter cancelled. She let us come for a meet and greet prior and sent us pictures and videos throughout Nille’s stay. Nille seemed to have a great time with Hannah and her family.

Heather was so accommodating on such short notice. Her dog Aggie is such a sweetheart and they welcomed my Maggie and she immediately felt at home. She was checking things out so quickly when sometimes she can be really shy around other dogs and people, especially ones she's just met. Heather sent pictures of Maggie to me throughout the weekend so i could see how she was doing. I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone that loves to know their fur baby is in good hands when in need a dog sitter.
