“My 6 year old pitty mix stayed 7 days with Laura and Joe while I was away on vacation. I couldn’t have been more happy with the great loving care they provided for my dog. Laura sent frequent photos and updates daily to let me know my girl was enjoying her stay. Huge fenced yard to run and play ball. And lots of cuddles on the couch. I love that Laura only sits one pet family at a time. I highly recommend Laura and her husband Joe and will definitely contact her again when in need for a sitter for my girl.”
“Katie was amazing! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable knowing my Fiona was in her care. Fiona was so happy to get to Katie’s house and looked so happy in her pictures! I can’t thank Katie enough for taking care of my girl!!!”
“We had such a great experience with Andrea! She went out of her way to make sure Ollie was comfortable and happy during his stay. She sent tons of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We never had to worry because she was so attentive and clearly cared about his well-being. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Michael was incredibly understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly. We had to travel on short notice for a funeral, and he made sure to send his condolences and let me know he was available to help in any way he could. Throughout the time we were away, he was very responsive and kept us updated regularly. We received photos of Daisy at least every six hours, which really helped ease our minds. It was clear she was happy and having a good time, especially since she was included in playtime with his dogs. We truly appreciated the care and attention Michael gave her, and we will definitely reach out to him again for future trips when we can’t bring our fur baby along.”
“She is the nicest babysitter my dog has ever had I can tell just by the photos that he felt comfortable with her she was so understanding because he has bladder issues and still does mark the house sometimes but she made sure that he had his diapers on 24/7 her pets are so nice and made my furbaby feel welcome. And I cannot have an asked for a better person to babysit my baby while I was gone. I had no worries whatsoever. Thank you once again 🙌🏽❤️”

Rachel took great care of our golden retriever Sasha! She helped us out even if our request was last minute. Sasha had a good time and got a lot of attention during her stay. Rachel sent us great pictures keeping us updated on how Sasha’s day was going. We recommend Rachel to anyone who is in search of a good and attentive dog sitter.
This was the second time Lindsey watched our pets and once again, we appreciate everything she did so much. She made it a breeze for us to be out of town and treated our pets and home as her own. We will absolutely be hoping to book with her again next time we are in need of a sitter!
My 2 dogs had another great stay with Brad and his family! They got lots of play time and I received daily updates with pictures 🙂 Brad was able to care for my dog’s medication needs. He was flexible with pick up and drop off times and made communication very easy! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have their pets cared for in a family setting ❤️
