“This was our second time booking with Barbara for dog and house sitting and we rebooked with her for good reason!

Our dogs were safe, happy, and at ease in her care.”

We came home to a spotless house as well! 10/10 would book with her again to stay in our home with the pets.”

She went above what we expected and will absolutely be our only call next time. If your dogs are family then Madison is the right person. Thank you Madison”
“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations.

“It's been 5 years since we left our dog in the hands of a sitter, and we were nervous about going on a vacation without him. We chose MacKenzie based on his profile and excellent reviews, and we were not disappointed! From the start, MacKenzie had a wonderful energy with our anxious senior dog. MacKenzie was calm, sweet, and gentle with our dog, and we felt good about leaving our dog and house in his care. Throughout our vacation we received numerous updates and pictures showcasing a thriving dog. MacKenzie was super easy to communicate with and responded extremely quickly whenever we reached out. It was clear that MacKenzie really loved our dog and picked up on all his intricacies quickly. We came back to a happy dog and a super clean house. We would love to have MacKenzie stay with our dog again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Jessica was amazing. Really went above and beyond with my Pearl. She communicated well, gave Pearl all the attention she needed, and even left the house better than she found it. I would recommend her to anyone. It's not easy to leave a 14-year-old dog for a week, but I felt like Pearly was in good hands.”
