Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.

Sonja treated our dog so well I'm surprised he wanted to come home. She sent pictures while we were away of their trip to a park, snuggles, playing, chewing on a bone, and looking very happy. We are happy to have such a high-quality dog sitter!

Tim was such an answered prayer! Our petsitter had to cancel last minute and he was so willing to step in and was patient and flexible with all of our questions. Both of our dogs told us they had a blast at his dog parks and playing with Oliver his sweet dog. I really appreciated the extra time he took to send pics and videos as well as deliver them back home to help us out since we were running late getting home due to weather and holiday traffic. Rusty and Daisy give Tim two paws up and we do too! We hope to get lucky enough to have him watch our dogs again in the near future!

My normal sitter was out of town so I had to find another sitter to watch my Charlie. As a typical doggy parent, I was really nervous about letting someone I didn’t know watch him. After going to thru all the reviews and pictures, I decided to choose Karissa. Well, she didn’t disappoint. She was constantly in contact with me throughout the weekend to assure that my little man was enjoying himself and in good hands. She sent plenty of pictures of him playing and gave plenty of updates. If you’re having any doubt at all about leaving your fur baby with a stranger, don’t have any doubt at all with Karissa. Will definitely use her again if need be. Thanks again Karissa!

Jennifer is amazing in taking care of our cats throughout the years. She and her colleagues take great care of our fur babies when we are away for several days. I highly recommend her to be your cat sitter.
