“Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)”


“Holly and Robert are amazing! They took such good care of our two dogs while we were gone. Both dogs were happy and well taken care of. We got multiple pictures of them playing and getting cuddles. We will definitely be using them again!!!”


“Onrae had Oakley for the weekend and made she she ate and got her antibiotics! She’s the most picky eater but he got her to eat everyday and she came home happy. Thank you!”


“Misty was all that we could have wished for to take care of our precious 17 month old Beagle puppy. She made Buster a part of the family. He played with her other dogs, learned new skills, and received the affection he loves. I could tell right away that Misty was a dog person and knew how to communicate with our dog, and how to provide the best care. I also loved the photos and messages she sent every couple of days. I felt better seeing and hearing how Buster was in our absence. Thank you, Misty and family, human and canine!”


“Sam is amazing! I was really nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger but as soon as she opened her door, all of my nerves faded. Oakley was immediately welcomed by the family and dogs. He made friends and Sam sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. This was way better than putting in a kennel and we will certainly be going back to Sam! ❤️”


“Gene was a fantastic sitter. She accommodated us by meeting us several times leading up to our stay. While Azula was with her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and excellent communication. I would recommend Gene to anyone.”


“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”


“Doug was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two pups while I was on a quick over-nighter out of town. Will definitely use again for any future dog-care needs while traveling!”


“Becky was a fantastic sitter! She was super responsive, a great communicator, and took very good care of our pup. She did a great job of asking questions, getting to know his routine, and ensuring that he would be comfortable, happy, and feel loved while at her house. We will definitely have Becky watch our dog again and will confidently recommend her to our friends!”


“Rita watched our very senior dog, Lionel for a couple trips and was fantastic! She was extremely well communicative about how he was doing, very watchful of any issues or changes, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. She is clearly experienced with a friendly, reassuring, and dog-loving demeanor. I trust her and soooo wish we still had her in the area!”


“Kaila is the BEST! When Ransom realizes what house we've pulles up to, he starts whimpering with excitement. He doesn't even look back as he dashes into the house! My confidence that he's being taken well care of allows me to enjoy my time away.”


“Alexandria took lots of pictures and sent updates of Bailey. She made him part of the family and Bailey seemed like he had a great time! He can be shy and slow to warm up to new people so he most have felt really comfortable with Alexandria and her family.”


“Katie & Pisces were very communicative throughout my dog’s whole stay. He usually has anxiety in new situations and they settled him in so nicely and by the time I picked him back up he didn’t want to leave. I can tell by how exhausted he was when we got home that he had a good time! I even added an extra day last minute due to a flight change and they were completely accommodating.”


“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”


“Bonnie Once again saves us! Unfortunately, had to attend a funeral and request Bonnie help abit last minute, and she was always willing and took great care of our pups”


“Devona recently had our dog for one overnight and we felt great piece of mind that he was in her care. This was especially important because it was his first overnight with a pet sitter since we adopted him in March. Our 9-year-old Charlie dog and Devona's dog Snoopy got along great and Devona took them on walks together and sent us pictures. We could also see in other pictures that she sent (all great photos) that Charlie was settled in at her place. She kept us posted about how Charlie was doing and when he exhibited some anxiety behaviors he hadn't shown with us yet in the short time that we've had him since March, we collaborated by text with her and she was able to help Charlie through the anxiety with a caring approach. She handled that curve ball so professionally and she was an excellent listener as we were texting. With her help she and I came up with some strategies and he settled in. Devona is patient and kind and knowledgeable. Any dog is lucky to be able to stay with Devona and her dear dog Snoopy.”


“Jamie was amazing! Our poor baby became ill and she knew something was wrong with her and immediately took her to the vet. We love how Jamie treats our dog like her own.”
