“Twice now Dee Dee has watched my 2 dogs and she is absolutely wonderful! The dogs are well cared for and watched, definitely given the attention we all want our pups to have, and Dee Dee does a great job on sending updated photos, which I find great! I definitely recommend her services!”

“Olive didn’t want to leave Vanessa and Andrew (& the kids)! She seemed to have a very good time and found a good routine. They sent daily pics when I asked for them. All went great!! Thanks so much! I had a lot of anxiety but feel so much better now knowing she’s in good hands.”

“Leza was super flexible, friendly and the best that could have happened for us. We were kept informed of everyday with everything that had happened in our boys life - which put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation.”


“Amy did great with my pup! She was always responsive to any concerns I had, provided me with updates and photos of him each day, and was flexible with my schedule to drop him off and pick him up. Would recommend!”


“This was my first time using Laura and my pups first time staying away from us. Laura allowed us to do a meet and greet before boarding, so we felt super comfortable with it all. She shared a lot of pictures during their stay, which was great, as I could clearly see they were healthy, happy and content! Laura herself is a professional at what she does, along with her daughters, who obviously enjoy dogs. I highly recommend her!”


“Hannah (& Logan) are an amazing pair for dog sitting! Our puppy (1-1.5 yr old) can be a handful and they always do a great job with him. Our pup has stayed a couple times and the last time we brought him over, he was excited as soon as we showed up and we could tell he felt right at home when he walked in! They do a great job and would highly recommend them!”


“Manami was fantastic and really came through! I got very sick on my trip and was not able to fly home, but she was able to watch my cat until I was well enough to fly home. I appreciated her flexibility and tons of pictures!”



“I was very happy with Shari! I had never left my dog with anyone, but Shari sent updates and photos often, and made me confident that Siri was well cared for. I'll definitely book with her again!”


“Kyle took great care of our dog and kept us informed on how she was doing and how much fun she was having with his dog. We will definitely be trusting him with her again.”



“April was awesome with our dogs as always. She sends us daily photos and updates. She treats them super well and they seem to love their time with her. Thank you April :)))”


“Don was great with out dogs! As most dog owners will tell you that their dogs are special - we are no different. He was ready for us, even very early in the morning. He has great accommodations for the dogs. It was clear that they played and had lots of fun. Don is also great at communicating what is needed and providing updates. I would definitely use his service again!”


“Jenny was fantastic! Prompt with communication, easy to coordinate with, and provided updates on how our dog was doing. Thankful to have connected with her and the great care she gave our dog.”
