“Tami was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Luke, this past weekend. From the moment we met, I felt confident in her ability to take care of him. She was friendly, professional, and clearly has a great love for dogs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Luke seemed so happy and relaxed in her care. I could tell he was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and love. When I picked him up, he was calm and content, which is a sure sign that he had a great time with Tami. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Tami, for taking such good care of Luke!”


“Rick is an outstanding pet sitter who looked after our lively puppy, Paco. His exceptional communication skills put us at ease even before we left Paco in his capable hands. Throughout Paco’s stay, Rick kept us informed with regular updates and adorable videos, making us feel connected to our furry baby. Paco had a blast playing with other dogs under Rick’s watchful eye, and we knew he was in safe hands. Rick’s attention to detail, love for animals, and willingness to go the extra mile exceeded our expectations.”


“I had something come up and needed to go out of town in a short notice. Thankfully I stumbled on Jalynn profile! Not only did she accept my request the night before I had to leave, but she was so attentive and courteous and answered all my questions! She sent me picture updates throughout the day was extremely patient and exceeded my expectations. Thank you Jalynn, will definitely book with her again when i need a sitter!”


“Nancy and her dogs are amazing! I always get anxious about the idea of leaving Bailey with anyone else, but within minutes of meeting Nancy and her dogs I was excited about our dog staying with her. She sent frequent updates and it felt like an extension of our family. 10/10 recommend and plan to ask Nancy for any dog care needs in the future.”


“Keeps us up to date on what's happening with our pup! We love getting pics of our dog while she's away. She is patient with our dog's need to warm up to folks first. Our dog has a wonderful time & always comes back happy.”


“We arranged a Meet and Greet with Elizabeth and introduced Maggie to her dogs and her mother a few days before we booked. We were confident that Maggie would be well cared for and booked Elizabeth to keep Maggie while we went for a vacation. We got updates and pictures which we really appreciated. She was flexible with times for pick up and always responded quickly to our texts. I would recommend her for boarding and we will be booking her again for Maggie. ”

“All I can say is WOW. So happy I chose Guadalupe to care for my Chema. She sent me the cutest pictures and he was so happy when I picked him up. I had a last minute emergency and she really came through for me. Great communication. Thanks again!”
