1. Jessica R.
“Jessica was amazing! She opened up her home to our pup on such a short notice when we had a funeral in the family. Jessica answered all of my questions and put my nerves as ease leaving our baby! She is an amazing dog sitter ... also doesn’t hurt that Kallie came home exhausted and let us rest! Thanks again Jessica!!!”
2. Leanne G.
“This was our rescue dog's first stay away from home, so we really didn't know what to expect, but he did just fine! Leanne and her family including their dog, Astro, were very flexible with timing and friendly. We are happy to have found a place for Georgie to stay when we need to be away. Thank you very much! :”
3. Megan M.
“Megan watched Russell overnight and although I was nervous leaving him, Megan was the best at making me feel comfortable and at ease . She sent me lots of videos and pictures and very frequent updates . She is dependable, responsible , and loving. He came back tired from playing and happy . I would absolutely use Megan again in the future !”
4. Jill B.
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
5. Debbie M.
“Debbie was great with our 15 year old dog! We were getting married and needed to procure care for our dog immediately and she quickly agreed to take care of him. She was responsive and a great dog sitter . Thank you Debbie!”
6. Roxanne P.
“We had the pleasure of using Roxanne P. for a recent trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Roxanne was incredibly professional and attentive to our dog, Guinness's needs. We had a meet-and-greet, where she took the time to ask about our Guinness's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. During the time we were away, Roxanne kept us updated with twice (morning and evening) daily photos and texts, which gave our family peace of mind knowing that Guinness was being well cared for. When we returned, Guinness seemed happy and relaxed, showing no signs of stress. We can tell that Roxanne really cares about animals, and she treated my pet like her own. Overall, we highly recommend Roxanne for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog-sitting service.”
7. Michael S.
“My husband and I have 2 small dogs (6/f and 2/m) who have never been without us or our in laws. We were so scared to leave our babies with strangers. We met Michael and Donna and their 3 doggies and our dogs immediately became friends. Before our 2 week trip, we left our dogs overnight and they were so happy when we came for them. We went on our trip and we got daily photos of our babies happy and playing. They ate such good food and had a level of care that they loved Michael and donna so much and they missed their new friends while being happy to come home. There is no better place for your fur babies than this lovely couple to provide a home away from home while out of town! I recommend them anytime!”
8. Janet T.
“Janet was terrific with our Bichon. She gave her long walks and lots of attention. She sent us frequent photos, too. It worked out really well for us and our dog Vanna.”
9. Lauren & John B.
“Lauren was so sweet and helpful. I brought Daisy with just a few days notice and they were able to accommodate. She got along great with their dog, Nala and was happy and tuckered out by the end of the weekend.”
10. Mónica S.
“Bailey had another great sleepover with Monica and her wonderful family! We can't thank Monica enough for taking such great care of Bailey and she even sent over pictures of Bailey having a blast then off to sleep in her crate! Bailey can't wait for her next stay with Monica and playing in her huge backyard!”
11. Michelle H.
“Michelle and family were super patient with my Chi-Chi who is very anxious around new people and environments. She can be timid but seemed to warm up to them very quickly. At pick up, Chi-Chi was like a little kid asking to stay a little while longer to play.”
12. Corinne K.
“Corinne is amazing!!!!! I’ve never seen my dog so happy while away from us!!! Roxy is the best host as well))) I can’t thank them enough!!! Thank you so much ?”
13. Gabriela C.
“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
14. Kathleen V.
“Kathy is amazing and I've never felt more secure leaving my pup with someone. Great communication, beautiful house, what an amazing experience. Will definitely be booking again with her”
15. Teriana G.
“I am unable to express the gratitude for the care and love Teriana gave me little Scarlett. This was the first time I have had to leave Scarlett and it was stressful. Teriana sent me everyday updates, complete with pictures of my darling. I highly recommend this sitter. She has a passion for what she does. Thank you.”
16. Christina W.
“Hands down, Christina was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She was friendly during our meet and greet and was prepared for all of my questions, especially regarding Toby’s sensitivity with small kids and some men. I never had any doubt that Toby was receiving expert and loving care with her, and I definitely hope to book with her again!!”
17. Daniel R.
“Daniel was very comforting and super helpful in making this experience easy and smooth. I felt so comfortable sending my dog to his house for the weekend because of all his great reviews. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a sitter. He sent pictures all weekend of my dog playing with Waldo which made me feel like I made the right choice. Waldo was so playful with my dog and I wasn't nervous to leave my puppy with him. My dog is small and Waldo knew exactly how to play with her. He had a fenced in backyard which was super exciting because I live in an apartment, so my dog had tons of space to run around. I am so happy to find a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Daniel!”
18. Pamela S.
“Pamela was amazing. She watched apollo for us and provided updates. She sent lots of photos and wanted to know everything beforehand. Pamela made us feel safe and comfortable on our first time boarding. I will always let her watch our pets because I know they are in wonderful hands. Pamela gave our cat space when he needed it as he was in a new space and he was able to trust her in the morning. Its important to have a caretaker understand animals and shes just the best! Thank you so much for everything 🐾 🐾”
19. Laura R.
“Laura and her family did an outstanding job watching our dog! They allowed us to come over to meet them before we made a decision. While we were gone on a much needed vacation, they stayed in contact and sent lots pictures. We will definitely see them again!”
20. Carla P.
“Carla and her family took amazing care of my dog Bruce! They sent updates and put my mind at ease. He was well taken care of! Thank you Carla!”
