I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!

I recommend Jake. He was friendly and attentive to my instructions for Jazzy. He sent me pictures of her regularly and she was happy and in good shape when I picked her up. I would leave Jazzy with Jake again!

Trish was amazing. We had a last minute trip that came together in a day. Trish was able to not only met Riley early in the afternoon but made herself available to drop him off later that day. There was never a worry during the trip as she sent us pictures of Riley and Scout becoming best friends. By the time I was picking Riley up when I returned, I figured I would ask about her schedule for a few more up coming trips we have planned.

Carmen did an amazing job with Jerry’s overnight stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She also ensured that he had a potty break right before pick up! I am super grateful for her help with Jerry and helping my shy pup feel comfortable being away from home. I know Jerry is safe in her care. Thank you again!

Kseniia was amazing with our dog. It was his first time being away from us for an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. He was def on high alter in a new place, but she was so patient with him! I also really appreciated the daily pics and videos and her patience with us as our flights got changed and cancelled multiple times.

Christine was a lovely host for Bode’s week of summer camp. She was quick to reply, lovely to speak with, but most importantly seemed to really care about Bode’s wellbeing and happiness. She has a huge fenced in yard that he had free reign to, and a lovely in ground pool. We will absolutely book with her again!

Amanda and Austen and Mazie were perfect caregivers for our skittish 8 year old terrier mix. They gave her the space she needed to get comfortable enough to cuddle and play. We think Roxy has been looking to our garage for a ride back to see her new friends.

As a dog mom, best thing is bringing our girl to drop off and having her wag her tail like she’s seeing a family member! Maizy is so excited to see Rachael every time💗. Maizy enjoys lots of walks, pets and love. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Rachel!! And thank you so much for the beautiful holiday card full of Maizy pictures. Sweetest card ever!

Anne was very accommodating to last minute adjustments in my schedule when I needed to drop off and pick up my dog, Bee. She was prompt in updating me on how Bee was settling in and getting along with her dog. Anne provided a comfortable place for Bee to spend a couple of days - I’d definitely rebook with her in the future!
