“Tetiana was a wonderful and caring caregiver to our two rambunctious pups. She not only gave them much love and affection, she walked them many times and spoiled them with couch and bed time snuggles. She took pictures regularly throughout their stay and shared them with us. She is a top notch person and was very accommodating and delightful.”

“Vera is an incredible host! Our 1yo pup was in excellent hands while we were away for a week. She accommodated an extra day and gave plenty of daily exercise and attention. We’ll be back for another stay for sure!”

“Amy and her family were fabulous. They made Takoda feel right at home. Takoda enjoyed making new friends, the walks and sleeping on the couch.

“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”

“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”


“I had an amazing experience with Caitlin and her family. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they were with my dog. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet”
