“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Dana was amazing! Our dog, Roopert, stayed with her and came back happy, calm, and well cared for. She took the time to understand his needs, provided updates with a video, and made us feel confident he was in great hands. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treats them like family. We highly recommend Dana and will definitely book with her again!”
“This was the first time leaving Brady with a stranger and Sharon made it a easy. When we arrived at Sharon’s home she had us walk Brady around as she observed his demeanor and to get acquainted. She was great in keeping us informed during his visit and sent a picture of him chilling out. The communications and picture put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy the wedding that we attended. Sharon walked him frequently. Thank you for making our 1st dog sitter experience a great one.”
“Karissa was very accommodating and responded to my last minute request for care after the sitter scheduled cancelled on us last minute. Right away my dog sensed her good energy, that of her family and home. He was happy at drop off and came back happy, which speaks volumes of the good care he received. I appreciated the daily update and reassuring pictures. If I am in Newport next year, I hope Chapu can stay with Karissa and family again. Thanks so much!”
“Our 1 year old golden retriever had a blast with Kim! It is clear she is an expert with animals and you can rest assured your dog will be in great hands in your absence. She sent us the most adorable photos of Bodie exploring her farm to keep us updated during his stay. It was so nice to know that Bodie was clearly having the time of his life and not thinking twice about us being gone! (He didn’t even want to get in the car to go home!) So happy we found her and will for sure be using her again!”
“Sabina is the best sitter ever! Her dog Alphie is such a sweetheart and plays so well with dogs of any size. Sabina was so patient with my Bear when he got homesick after a longer stay, took both boys out on walks daily, and made Bear feel right at home. 10/10 will book again!”
“Suzanne's family really embraced our pup as one of their own pack 🙂 Pictures and updates were great and put us at ease. Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Piper’s overnight stay with a sitter! Karen did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the five days, sending daily photos and messages that gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Piper was well taken care of, happy, and even got to enjoy many trips to the park! Knowing she was in such great hands made our time away so much easier. We highly recommend Karen and would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“I was very grateful for the daily updates and pictures especially since this was the first time I've left my dog. I felt he was safe and well taken care of.”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
“Jessica is fabulous. Bashi loved being at her home and she took such good care of her. I was able to relax and not worry about Bashi on my away weekend. If I need to board her again I will call on Jessica”
“Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!”
“Keasha and her family took great care of Bagel! I was confident that my dog was in good hands. Will certainly come back to Keasha when I travel again. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Chris and Whitney took excellent care of our dog Skye. They were great at communicating with us. They sent us pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend them and we will definitely use their services in the future!”
“Kyleigh watched our Cleo for a week and a half. I’ve never felt so reassured about leaving my little girl. Kyleigh sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. Cleo got so attached to Kyleigh that she refused to go on walks with anyone else while staying with her. She does the same thing at home with me, if mama doesn’t go she doesn’t go haha Kyleigh took such great care of our little girl and it feels great knowing that I know exactly who to book to look after Cleo in the future!”
