“Tobi is amazing! She always takes such wonderful care of our sweet Emme girl! If you want someone who loves fur babies and will take great care of them, you’ve found her! Thank you, Tobi! 🐶❤️”


2. Jena Z.

“Jena is truly an angel! I don’t have enough words to thank Jena and her beautiful family for the love they gave Fuzzy. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at peace knowing he was in the kindest, most caring hands. She sent me daily photos and updates that warmed my heart — Fuzzy looked so happy, relaxed, and truly loved. She even gave him a bath, and he came home smelling amazing, so soft, and full of joy. It honestly felt like he was part of their family. Knowing he was that well cared for means everything to me. Jena, thank you for treating Fuzzy like your own — we can’t wait to see you again! 💕🐶✨”


3. Heather B.

“Heather is excellent!!! She took care of our dog Luca like he was a member of her family. She sent us daily updates and photos of how he was doing and he almost didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up.”


4. Juli J.


“Juli was awesome! She is experienced and has a warm place for any dog to stay. She kept me up to date on their status with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend her.”


5. Francine M.

“Sometimes looking for someone to take care of your pet can be anxiety-inducing, especially when they're a senior dog with needs and you just don't know how people will care for them in your absence. Francine offered in our situation to do a meet and greet, and I appreciated that opportunity to meet. My dog Shelby loves people and she's a good judge of character. I was happy to see that they got along well, and during my absence, I got photos of play time, a few timely updates and peace of mind knowing she was cared for. Francine is honest, friendly, engaged and inquisitive and gave me feedback upon picking her up. Dog people get dog people and she's the best person we've come across in our travels. Thanks again Francine for giving us a Christmas to spend away with family.”


6. Casey W.
“Casey is amazing who took a great care of Benz for 3 weeks while we were out of country. It is hard to find someone who you can trust and instantly get a long with your dog like Casey. We definitely will use Casey again for our future care. Thanks again Casey for giving Benz so much love and great care, he definitely misses you!”


7. Puneet B.

“Puneet was wonderful with our dog Oscar, and genuinely cared about making us feel good about him staying with her! She gave us updates, and did a meet and greet before. Oscar has a big personality and Puneet handled him with superb ability! We appreciate her and would highly recommend her!”


8. Andrea M.

“Andrea was wonderful in caring for my lil gal. She sent photos every day with updates on how Kenai was doing. When in doubt about something she asked me questions showing that she cared so much about making Kenai's stay comfortable and safe. When reviewing my instructions she made sure she understood each one and carried them all out. Her home is so clean, beautiful, comfortable, and set up to fully care for one dog at a time. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrea for dog sitting and am grateful for the care she gave to my Kenai.”




9. April H.

“April took the best care of my pup and gave her the warmest welcome! Being new to the area and not knowing anyone I was nervous to find boarding for her, but I was stress free knowing she was in great hands. She kept me updated the whole weekend with photos and was very helpful with communication. I know my pup enjoyed her company during the day, and I would have April watch her anytime she was available!”




10. Tracy W.


“I've never left Holly with anyone before and I was so nervous to do so, but Mike and Tracy went ABOVE and BEYOND for me while I was on vacation. They kept me updated everyday and sent me pictures on how holly was doing and the activities she was up to and even the fur friends she got to hang out with for the day. I will never have anyone else ever doggie sit my baby. They made her apart of their family and treated holly as their own. When I went to pick Holly up she was excited to see me but not as excited as she normally is and I was gone 5 days. That just goes to show how much fun she had with Mike and Tracy!”


11. Mariana M.

“Great stay for Wilson, highly recommend Mariana. Traveling isn’t always easy without your pup, it’s a whole lot better knowing he’s in a good home.”




12. Sonya L.


“Our dog loves staying with Sonya. She has a great fenced in backyard and lots of space for him to run and relax. He gets along great with her two dogs as well. She is very convenient for us.”


13. Kristin M.

“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”


14. Frances G.


“I have two very needy dogs that Frances takes care of. They were both adopted in the last year and have separation anxiety. Additionally, my old man has some issues that go along with age (decreasing mobility, incontinence, etc,) as well as being deaf and generally stubborn! My girl is shy and undersocialized and needs calm introductions and a soft touch. Frances has been very kind and takes good care of them and their issues. It means a lot to have someone to trust your dogs with, especially when they are the only kids you have. ”


15. Rebecca C.

“Amazing sitter! Izzy didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up she had so much fun. I received many pics of Izzy each day and they were so accommodating to our early drop off time. Will book again for sure!!”


16. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!”


17. Diane B.

“Diane was amazing with my boy! I felt extremely comfortable leaving him in her care - she provided daily updates and photos! Will definitely book again!”


18. Brent L.

“Brent was outstanding. After his initial warm greeting for our dog Murphy, I knew he was in good hands during our week away. Brent kept us updated throughout the trip and was very easy to work with. Brent will be the first person we reach out to for our next trip.”


19. Deborah S.

“Deb was fantastic! She is so responsive, easy going and flexible with scheduling. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and had a great time hanging out and go for walks with her. I know he'd love to return anytime!”


20. Cheryl M.

“I'm so glad we found Cheryl! My little girl has never had to stay with anyone before, and Cheryl makes it easy for both of us. My girl likes to go see Cheryl & her other new friends there. I didn't worry at all while we were gone. I can really tell Cheryl cares about my little girl & even kept her an extra night when we got home late.”
