“Emily made me feel better about leaving my critters for a few days. My skittish dog loves her. Emily maintained contact with me and sent Pictures and videos. I appreciate all she did and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Susanna and her husband were more than accommodating for my three dogs. They were attentive, sent me numerous updates and asked questions about their routine. It’s safe to say that my dogs love them! I will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Alexa was so good with our babies! We have 5 dogs, half of them crazy and needy and she handled all of them like a champ! One of them is very nervous with new people, and she was so patient in letting him get used to her and he quickly got over it lol. She really cared about our babies and they all loved her. Will definitely be asking her back!”

“My husband and I never used Rover and were very nervous about leaving our babies. Lauren put our minds at ease and took excellent care of our German Shepherds. She is an amazing person and we came home to happy dogs and she went above and beyond taking care of them and my home! I wish i could give more than five stars ❤️”

“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”

“Ashley was fantastic! She got to our house right on time, stayed with our two dogs from 1/18/26 - 1-23-26. She sent a photo a day and my husband and I felt very comfortable leaving them with Ashley.”

“Keely was the first dog and house sitter we've ever had and we couldn't have asked for a better person or experience! She took care of both my large dogs with absolutely no problems, she provided updates on her own and when we inquired. The girls loved that she played with them both outside and inside. I know we will be using her again!”
