1. Christine K.

“Christine is fantastic! My mini Australian Shepherd seemed to have a wonderful time. She took him outside to play and on walks and was very tired when we got home.”


2. Amy & Gregory B.

“I had a fantastic experience with Amy & Greg! Communication was fantastic, drop off and pick up were seamless and most of all, they took great care of my Lola! Their pups at home are so sweet and it sounds like their whole family enjoyed having another furry friend to take care of. I would highly recommend and definitely will be using them again.”


3. Sydney B.

“Whiskey absolutely loved her stay with Sydney! Frequent updates & given lots of love. 10/10 would recommend again.”


4. Crystal M.

“Crystal was great to work with. She was friendly and responsive and sent updates about how my dogs were doing. She was also kind and flexible when the weather was bad, and we asked to shift the drop-off times.”


5. Ashley G.

“Ashley and her family were awesome! Gracie, my black lab, felt right at home. I was able to get tons of updates and pictures from her stay. I would recommend them to anyone and plan to have Gracie go back in the future!”


6. Sharon F.

“Sharon was wonderful. She took great care of our dog Daisy while we were gone. Her home and yard were very well kept. Her resident doggy was welcoming for Daisy. Our dog can be nervous in unfamiliar places. Her home was calm and quiet which I think really helped Daisy feel comfortable. She took time to play and be active with our dog too. We unexpectedly came home early and she accomodated a different pick up time. I would definitely recommend Sharon if your looking to board your pet.”


7. Heather A.

“Heather was so accommodating on such short notice. Her dog Aggie is such a sweetheart and they welcomed my Maggie and she immediately felt at home. She was checking things out so quickly when sometimes she can be really shy around other dogs and people, especially ones she's just met. Heather sent pictures of Maggie to me throughout the weekend so i could see how she was doing. I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone that loves to know their fur baby is in good hands when in need a dog sitter.”


8. Kajae & Emily L.
About: We absolutely love caring for animals. We have cared for dogs our entire lives, and have multiple experiences with potty training. We believe in caring for animals in the same way we would care for our own child. Along with that, we feel it is important for an animal to receive the proper nutrition and exercise as a child should. We enjoy taking dogs along with us while on a jog, camping, or just to a dog park in order to receive some social interaction. We also enjoy just spending time with our furry ones in order to fulfill the sense of belonging and companionship that everyone and everything needs. We love animals and would love to care for yours. When summer is upon us, one of us is a teacher and is home throughout the summer and frequently home for extended holiday breaks. We are also home and available most weekends. We believe in caring for animals in the same way we would care for our own child. We allow pets to be on the furniture and sleep in our bedroom. We also enjoy being outside with them as much as weather permits.


9. Jenny & Eero J.


“These 2 are the best sitters. I would never trust anyone else with my dog. They take such good care of her and she always has so much fun. They make sure to always update me and send pictures throughout the stay. My dog always looks so happy and she’s always super comfortable”


10. Ivy A.

“Leila had a great time and really enjoyed some new friends to play with. Ivy kept us updated on everything and was very responsive when checked in. She made us very comfortable with her ability to take care of our geriatric pup. We'll contact her again!”


11. Emily E.

“Emily was an awesome dog-sitter for our precious Kai. Emily even picked him up for us from our wedding venue after the ceremony so that he could attend. Without this, it might have been difficult for him to attend. We couldn’t be happier with Emily’s prompt response time, punctuality, and overall care of our dog. If we were from the area, Emily would definitely be our first choice in pet sitter.”


12. Mikayla H.

“Mikayla was so amazing! Our Gus had so much fun with her and her pup, he came home exhausted and well cared for ♥️”


13. Debra P.

“Deb and her son were AMAZING!! Our dog, Chloe, who is usually a bit shy, had a blast with them and their two dogs. She was in heaven! Deb sent beautiful pics and videos that warmed our hearts. They truly treated her like one of their own. I cannot recommend them enough!”


14. Theresa O.

“Theresa is AMAZING! Her and her fiancé are really big animal lovers. That was really important while trying to find the perfect candidate to watch our young pup. I’m so glad we found Theresa. We will for sure be using her in the future!”


15. Zachary & Abigail A.

“We so appreciate the loving care that Zach gives to our Suzie. Whenever we drop her off, he knows what she needs to feel welcome and secure. She comes back to us happy and well cared for.”


16. Thomas R.

“Thomas was wonderful when I called last minute asking if he could take our Great Dane for the weekend. Our big girl was right at home with Thomas and his wife and was treated like family. We will definitely bring her back. Our Ruby Doo was very loved and so well taken care of ♥️♥️”


17. Stacy P.

“Stacy was very calm and professional. My dog was pretty calm around Stacy which is rare for her. Stacy wasn't afraid to ask questions about my dog and sent updates regularly. I definitely recommend Stacy.”


18. Hannah B.
“I would highly recommend Hannah for taking great care of your beloved furry family member. Hannah has watched and taken care of our puppy Milo who is a Sichon multiple times. She is attentive and respectful to our needs and wants for him as well as his own needs and treats him as if he is one of her own. They get to spend time indoors as well as outdoors to play, and Milo always comes home tired! She lets us know if there will be other dogs around and lets us know about their temperment and if she thinks they will get along well. She even took the time to work with him on obedience commands so he was able to continue his learning when he was with her. It's also very evident that Milo loves Hannah and her family by the way he runs to her and shows affection. We 100% trust and would recommend Hannah!”


19. Grace S.
“Grace goes above and beyond for any animal in her life, not just her own. She has extensive experience with pets and is very dependable.”


20. Michaela J.
About: Since I can remember, my family has always had at least 1 dog in the house. Typically more! I am very familiar with everything that it takes to care for a dog of any age or size. I'm currently working very part time. And the rest of my time is spent with my 3 kids and my fur babies. I have plenty of time and would love to give my time to your fur baby. No matter what, your dog will be carefully watched over and cared for. I have plenty of eyes to help keep your dog safe and sound!
