Jenny was amazing with my pup hazel. She provided frequent updates, sent lots of pictures, & made me feel extremely comfortable with her watching hazel. My girl was a little anxious since she hasn’t been watched by a sitter in quite some time but Jenny made her feel right at home. I can’t recommend Jenny enough & will definitely continue to use her in the future for my pup!

Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!

Ruben was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure Kodak enjoyed his time there and was taken care of. Great communication, he responds quickly & I received pictures & updates throughout the day & evening. Kodak got a long well with his dogs and enjoyed playing with them! When I picked him up Ruben gave me a thank-you bag with a handwritten note (it was so sweet) & a squeaker toy for Kodak. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Jeff was an excellent sitter for our 2-year-old Australian Shepherd! He was highly communicative, did a meet and greet beforehand, and very responsive while we were out of town. Our flight was delayed and he was very flexible about pick up, which was very appreciated. Teddy seemed to have a great time with him, and we will definitely use him for future trips!

Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.

Miriam was great with Izzy. Izzy is a very affectionate dog and needs lots of hugs and pets. They gave her so much love and attention. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. She was very responsive to texts. She and her husband are both very friendly and accommodating. They allowed me to bring Izzy by a week before our booking to see if our dogs would get along. Izzy had so much fun while we were on vacation. She barely wanted to come back home, lol! If I ever need dog sitting services again, I will definitely be using Miriam’s services.

Corey and Robert were amazing! We were updated regularly with the most amazing pictures and videos. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Luna was so loved and we are so grateful for the care they gave her. I HIGHLY recommend Corey and Robert but I also want make sure they’re not booked the next time we need a place for Luna to go 🤣 but seriously, they’re the best.

Excellent sitter! I really appreciate the great care Carolina took of my puppy. She took the time to read my care notes and made sure she did everything on them. She setup a meet and greet to allow my puppy to get comfortable with her and very few sitters offer this so it was a fantastic bonus! She was kind enough to put everything back in my pup’s backpack like it was (after working a long day, this is such a relief to not have to go through and fix). My puppy enjoys his time with her and I will be booking again soon. I highly recommend her for your furry friend!

Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!

Karen was amazing with our two dogs. They were immediately comfortable in her home. She was very attentive and took them on several walks despite not having the best weather. Our dogs are usually very anxious to be left at our typical boarding place but they seemed completely at ease with Karen. Her home and yard are immaculate. Would definitely use again!

Katherine took amazing care of my cattle dog, Jade. She kept me up to date through text and pictures, and made sure she got lots of attention and exercise. They've got a big backyard and a couple dogs, perfect for a high energy dog like mine who likes to stay busy. I will book with them in the future. Thank you!
