1. Queeny T.
“Queeny is one of my favorite dog sitters. I never have to worry about my dog when she’s in her care. Good communication and very flexible. Queeny and her husband take her on walks and play in the yard with her every time she’s there. She always seems pumped to go to their house.”
2. Kayla E.
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
3. Michael K.
“I can tell Michael really enjoys caring for dogs. I knew Calvin was in good hands and was able to enjoy my trip with zero worries. I’d use Michael again. Thanks!!!”
4. Steven S.
“Thank you, Steve and Jimmy (our human and doggie hosts) for another enjoyable visit. Thank you for taking care of us and giving us playmates during our stay.”
5. Kayla M.
“Kayla was AMAZING!!! She not only kept my baby happy and worked out all week long, but even did some leash training (that I figured was a lost cause when trying myself. Lol). He was happy to see me, but at the same time, was very sad to have to leave her, which is how I know she gave him plenty of love & affection. My boy will very much let it be known if someone treated him well & he LOVES her. She’s truly a Dog Whisperer. Will use 1,000 times again whenever in Michigan & available.”
6. Allesha B.

7. Kadi L.
“Kadi was an outstanding caretaker of my pup Billie. She is a great communicator and a really warm and caring person. I didn’t worry at all about Billie while she was in Kadi’s care. I got lots of pictures and multiple updates each day. She kept her active and happy. I will definitely book with Kadi again.”
