1. Christine J.

“I am a clingy, overprotective dog mom. It’s me, I’m the problem. I get it. But my pup was so happy at Christine’s, she did not want to leave. My dog is super active (busy, always busy) but she’s currently still pouting and napping after 10 days at her new best friend’s house. Christine was the perfect amount of communicative to let me enjoy my trip out of the country, while allowing me to not have constant anxiety. She is also super understanding and flexible, which is a huge plus. My pup will definitely be staying with her again soon! So happy and grateful to her.”

6. Laurie & Richard E.
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“Our pup Leo had an amazing time with Leonard, Kathryn, and their daughters. We were absolutely thrilled with the love and attention the whole family gave him. We requested updates, and for the 9 days we were gone, Leonard sent us photos of Leo having an amazing time every morning and evening. Leo got tons of exercise, cuddles, and even two baths during his stay! We highly recommend Leonard and Kathryn to anyone looking for a loving, active, and attentive home for their pet to stay with.”
