“Brittany is amazing! She takes such wonderful care of our dog 💕. She sends lots of photos and updates and gives him a little treat bag at the end of his stay. We look forward to Seamus visiting her and her family again!”


“Great experience as usual! Everything went as planned, ready for drop off, sent the perfect amount of pictures daily and had her ready for pick up on time! Angel was super excited to see me and happy as can be when I picked her up, loves to play w her other dogs and even the cats. I will definitely contibue to utilize her service's, Thanks,”


“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”


“My dog had such a wonderful time! I was searching for a place where he would be around a group of other dogs and be mentally stimulated throughout the day. He’s a 36lb dog and had the opportunity to play with 3-4 other dogs during his stay of varying sizes, but there were some dogs his size that overlapped and really made a difference I think in his experience. When I picked him up he jumped into my arms tired, excited, and happy. There were no odd smells, no ticks, nor fleas upon inspection. He seemed very well taken care of and I’m happy Melissa and her family took great care of him. He will be back! Thank you!”


“Patrick & Karyn were amazing boarders to our mini Schnauzer. We are very happy. Our little girl enjoyed them and their dog, Levi. We received daily pictures of the many wonderful games they played, and trips that they took her on. The cuddles and love that she was given show in how relaxed she is once we got her back at home. We are very happy to have found such a wonderful home away from home for our pup. We will not hesitate to use Patrick and Karyn again in the future. They are top boarders!!”


“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”


“My first time leaving Art for a trip and I was a little bit nervous, but Cindy was so kind and reassuring! I had a good feeling she was the right person to take care of Art. She kept me posted on how my dog was doing with updates that also included videos and pictures. Will definitely book Cindy again!”


“Best, most caring, passionate dog lovers ever! Lisa and Michael were so much more loving than we could have hoped for to care for our Carrie. Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. They will be hosting her again soon!”


“Marcela was great, we left our dog with her for 3 nights. She always informed us at all times and sent us videos and pictures. She is always going to be my first choice whenever I need a dog sitter! She is knowledgeable about animals and truly cares about your pet. I know she is reliable and honest.”



“Jared did a great job caring for Remi during her 4 day stay. He saw to it that she had plenty of exercise and fun with other dogs. Jared sent daily updates about how she was doing, often including pictures. I would definitely board Remi with Jared again. Thanks Jared!!”


“They were wonderful, my dog really likes them. He responded right away and provided me with pics throughout the stay.”


“Meredith was SO great with Billy Ray and SUPER super accommodating of my schedule and circumstances!! She’s really sweet and professional. She prioritized Billy Ray’s stay, and really helped me out in a jam!! Couldn’t have been more perfect!!”


“Maria, Eric and Pennie were amazing hosts. They kept us posted multiple times a day with great photos and videos of our dog Bertie playing non stop in the yard with Pennie, who’s is the friendliest and prettiest Husky Shepard mix. They have a pristine home and a great yard for play. I would highly recommend this family and will definitely be using them again for Bertie’s next vacation.”



“Rocky really enjoyed his stay with Heather - this was his first time with her and he took right to her which put my mind at ease because I was nervous leaving him. 🤍 Heather was really good with updates and pictures and took the time to ease my baby into her environment. 🤍🤍🤍 Rocky made some new fur friends while staying with Heather, and although he hopped right up in the car when I came to pick him up, he looked a lil sad to leave them 🐶🫶 Don’t worry Rocky you’ll see them again when I need to pop out of town. All in all I give Heather 5 starts - She handled my baby, with from what I can see, excellent care for the 3 1/2 days he was there. I would recommend her and I would definitely use her again. THANK YOU HEATHER for taking such excellent care of my baby❣️”



“Gen is very responsive to any concerns and sends updates regularly. Puppy is happy to get to her home and comes home happy and tired from playing with new buddies.”


“Doris did a wonderful job taking care of my Lucky Dog. Her communication was awesome and was able to take a sitting job in short notice. I Could not be any happier with my experience.”



“I left Mango with Jeff when my boyfriend and I went into the city for the night and it was a great experience from drop off to pick up. I had never used Rover before so I was a little nervous about leaving Mango at a strangers house but Jeff made me feel very comfortable and reassured me Mango would be in good hands. While I was in the city Jeff sent me picture updates the entire time! It was nice seeing Mango having such a good time with the other dogs. If I ever need someone to watch Mango again when I am in town, I will definitely call Jeff!”


“Matt & Kristin were amazing hosts for my pups. I needed a last minute sitter and they were so accommodating. My golden and goldendoodle had a vacation with them while I was away - playing outside, lounging in their house, and generally just being able to relax. I got multiple pics and updates a day and felt so reassured that my pups were well cared for. Highly highly recommend!!”


“Jessica was AMAZING with my doggie Ophelia! i booked very last minute and she was kind enough to accept! she kept me updated and sent me pictures! she was very welcoming, and when i dropped off i found comfort in knowing that her house was very welcoming as well! definitely using her next time!!”

Christina C.Star Sitter
“Christina is the most caring sitter I have ever met. My dogs, Ginger and Sonny, are two large golden retrievers that need a lot of attention. They love her ! She also gives Sonny his medication and once brought to my attention a growth he had on his hip, which I wasnt aware of..She is always dependable and follows my thorough directions to the letter! From fog walking, dog sitting and daily pet care I would rate her services out of 10 out of 10, if you need a sitter Christina is the one for you!”
