“Christina was very responsive to my initial request (especially important since we were in the position of booking last minute over a holiday weekend) and any follow-up questions. She provided daily updates and fabulous photos of my pup throughout his stay and made sure he had extra snuggles on his first night to help him adjust. I would definitely use Christina again!”
“Cindy took great care of our pups and provided a home away from home for them. They came home happy and tired. She was responsive, timely and provided daily updates. Will book again!”
“Natalie was the best. She is so kind and took such care of our Louie. She was really tuned in to him and what he needed and was in touch with us to share photos and updates. I don't see how we could have found a better sitter for our dog.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received during her stay with Alissa! Alissa sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how comfortable my dog was. She took my pet on frequent walks, which I could tell they thoroughly enjoyed. When I returned to pick up my dog, my dog was healthy, happy and even was given some homemade dog treats to bring home. It’s clear that Alissa is not only experienced but truly cares about the animals she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”
“Craig was very accommodating and absolutely amazing with my dog hazel! She’s normally a littler tentative around men but she immediately took to him. He sent frequent updates and great photos including a video of hazel snoring in his lap. By the time we picked her up I’m not sure she wanted to leave.”
“Our dog Scout had a fantastic time with Colleen. She went on wonderful walks and adventures, had a few swims and lots of time in the outdoors. It's very clear that Colleen loves dogs and she went the extra mile to make sure that Scout felt happy and cared for. She sent lots of pictures and a daily diary so we could see all of the fun that Scout was having. We were afraid that she might not want to come home! We recommend Colleen highly.”
“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”
“Molly and her family took great care of our three pups, especially taking them on plenty of walks. Communication was a breeze and they were flexible about pick-up and drop-off times.”
“Marissa was fantastic! She went above and beyond for our dogs and took such good care of them. She sent photos every day. She took them for walks and swims and gave them extra love and the best care. She was extremely responsive, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! I hope to use her again in the future!”
“I am beyond grateful for Tonya. I was able to take a once in a lifetime vacation because Tonya was there for me. I have a 20 year old very needy pup who isn't easy to care for. She took such good care of him and my home, even while, my smoke alarms decided to beep the entire 8 days. She is a patient woman. I hope you are lucky enough to book her.”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”
“Our dog squid had a fantastic time with Rose and her dogs while we went away for a 4 day trip. Rose was very easy to work with and sent pictures and updates all throughout squids stay with her. We are super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time we need a reliable dog sitter.”
“The dogs were met by Lindsay. She has a welcoming routine that has been perfected. She communicated promptly. I brought home two tired girls so I know they had a lovely time.”
“Caroline was great with Daisy, we used her service while getting things together after a big move. She got Daisy outside and gave her all the attention and affection she needs. We were treated by a very happy dog after the stay. 10/10 recommend and will be using again!”
