We are repeat customers of Valerie’s and there is no one else we’d rather leave our dogs with! We just adopted a new dog and this was her first stay away from us. Valerie does an amazing job of introducing her to Shakespeare that I know I never have to worry about how they’ll all get along. They bonded immediately and I can tell Valerie loves our dogs almost as much as we do. We will continue to use Valerie over and over! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Jess and Ian were wonderful with my two boys. They communicated with me while on vacation and it eased my mind to know they were ok. Wonderful and honest couple

Our dog had so much fun at Keely's home. Her home was perfect for our golden retriever who got so much love and attention. I will be calling Keely again for sure.

Rachael is the best dogsitter ever! She always seems to have a house full of dogs (some her own, some sittees), and my dog has a wonderful time and even comes home a little more trained! I cannot recommend her enough -- she is warm and kind and clearly just loves dogs.

I can’t recommend Bruce enough! He took such amazing care of my babies while I was away. From the start, communication was smooth and professional—he sent photos, updates, and made me feel completely at ease. My pets absolutely adored him, and I could tell they were comfortable and well-loved the entire time. Their routines were followed perfectly, and I came back to happy, relaxed dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable, Bruce is the one. Truly the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.

This is the second time we asked Nicole to watch Monty, our young and very energetic pup. Once again we could enjoy the time away because we knew he was in great hands and receiving lots of TLC. Communication is great and Nicole makes the whole process easy. Our rambunctious boy was calm for days after pick up due to all of the exercise and play time he indulged in at Nicole’s!

Hazard was extremely communicative! We received so many pictures and updates I never had to wonder what he was up to. He was welcomed into her home with open arms. He had lots of playmates and returned tired, happy, and well cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out again next time we have a need!

Kyle was a wonderful dog sitter!! Very attentive to all of Hugo’s needs and very caring. I would definitely book with him again. He gives frequent updates and really goes the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable with how your dog is doing. The location of his home is also perfect for dogs that like spending time outside and enjoy playing with other dogs. I felt confident Hugo was safe and happy.

Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.
