Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.

I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!

April is the best! I bring my dog to her instead of leaving him with family because he loves her house and dogs so much. Great communication and clearly a massive dog lover.

I had Barbara watch my almost 7 year old cat for 3 nights and 4 days. She made me feel comfortable and made sure my cat was taken care of while I was away. Barbara was sweet and let my cat outside the bedroom. Her litter was clean and followed the feeding instructions. I definitely recommend her

I was so apprehensive about leaving my Nori with anyone, but to my surprise after leaving him with Bernice she quickly me down by sending me pics of Nori, throughout the day. Nori seemed so happy, and it made me feel at peace.

Sharee was a GODSEND!!! An absolute a dream to work with from initial contact to meet & greet, to the drop-off, to pick-up: everything was simple, seamless and SO well in hand. Since our Morty has only been for an overnight stay once without either me/my husband or a family member he’s known a LONG time, my husband and I were concerned about leaving our boy behind while we were on vacation but Sharee put both of us at ease right away. Sharee is warm and friendly with a great vibe. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is very comfortable and confident working with multiple dogs of varying sizes. Sharee definitely gives off “Alpha” energy, which is especially important because dogs need to know who’s running things in order to feel as well as actually BE safe and secure. She’s got a great back yard with lots of room for pups to run around in and sniff as well as a decent sized area that is still outdoors but parceled off if pups need separation for any reason. This way everyone gets fresh air without having to sacrifice safety. I love this. Morty (who normally is quite bashful when meeting new people) took to Sharee right away: I believe this was because she was so calm, decisive, yet loving and warm with all the other dogs that were there. Once he saw how happy/not stressed out all the other dogs seemed, Morty seemed to fold into the pack pretty seamlessly. Tails were wagging hard and fast all around— it was amazing! One thing I truly appreciated was on the evening when we dropped Morty off, Sharee met us at the car and SHE walked Morty into the house and I followed behind. This set the tone and served as a kind of “changing of the guard” insofar as signaling to Morty that he had to listen to HER from then on out. He got on board without issue (again, safety first: I. LOVE. IT.), and then she introduced him to the other dogs who would be his buddies during his stay (some he’d met during the meet and greet, one he hadn’t… all was well!) While we were away Sharee kept us updated throughout each day on how Morty was adjusting and what good mischief he and the others were getting into with sweet pictures and videos which were always appreciated. We also discovered that Sharee’s dog, King, and Morty are kindred spirits and became fast friends so that was great too! While Morty seemed happy to see us when we came to scoop him up when it was time to go, I’d be lying if I said he didn’t cry for a little bit on the car ride home when he realized King wasn’t coming too! 😂 All told, we could not have asked for a better experience and will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers!!! Sharee is AMAZING!!!!!

This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.

We were going to Italy for eight days and I wanted to make sure Peyton would - be safe. My sweet boy is a senior with a few special needs. After reading Laura’s bio and reviews I decided to reach out to her to see if she were available for the dates I would be gone. I was impressed with her quick response she was indeed available and asked if I would like to do a meet and greet. We agreed on a date and time for Peyton and me to come for a visit. During our time there Peyton seemed relaxed and making himself very much at home, he even made a new friend! On the morning of Peyton’s stay he had no hesitation whatsoever he ran up to the door tails a wagging. I knew I made the right choice in booking with Laura. Thank you, Laura for taking such great care of my little guy and the updates and photos you sent… Really reassuring! :)

I was in from out of town and Eleanor took wonderful care of my two dogs. They had a big, secure, fenced outdoor space. It was clear that Eleanor and her husband had a passion for pups and were very knowledgeable. I would trust them with my dogs anytime!

Barbara was wonderful! We had an amazing experience with a recent overnight stay! Our Jack Russell terrier can be anxious and a bit high maintenance, but she was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive. She took great care of him, worked with him on walks, and even let him sleep with her to keep him comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—she’s truly a phenomenal sitter!
