“I'm extremely picky about where I'll leave Remi. He's very high energy and very sensitive to new environments. He gets sick and loses weight at traditional kennels (learned this the hard way) so we don't use them. This was just a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of pictures & updates and picked up a happy, healthy, & very tired pup tonight :) Definitely recommend!!”

“Sherry was absolutely amazing with my dogs, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable in her care!”

“Mrs. Kimberly was amazing! She kept us updated and sent pics during his stay with her. Blue loves it there and that makes me so happy. Mrs.kim will def be my go to person for a sitter going forward. Thanks Mrs.Kim for everything!”

“The stay was perfect. The pickup and drop off was amazing no complications. I got plenty of pictures. I know my dog was still getting properly trained how I train her. I had no worries.”

“Lee Ann was so patient with our extremely shy dog. She sent me updates and reassured me everything was fine. Would highly recommend getting Lee Ann to watch your dog!”

“Lauren and her husband were great with my two pups. She communicated often about how my pups were doing and sent great pictures. I was so thankful that we found her since my Scout has diabetes. She was able to give him his insulin shots and his other medications. She is training to be a PA, so she knows what she is doing. Plus, her mom has a dog with diabetes that she has given shots to. I highly recommend Lauren! She was awesome!”

“Mike and his whole family were just the best!! It was obvious that our dog, Valley, received so much TLC! We appreciated the daily communication from Mike and loved all the pictures he sent of Valley. It made us so happy to see Valley enjoying the company of his girls and their dog, Hazel. Thank you so much! We will definitely contact them next time we need a dog sitter in Montgomery!”


“Summer was amazing with our lab Lilly. She communicated with me great, sent pictures and updates. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times as we were going out of town. We will definitely use Summer again because our pup came home in the best mood unlike when we've boarder her in the past.”

“Christina and Austin have been Wonderful caring for our Theo. He has stayed with them twice now. We’re Thankful for the daily pictures and updates on Theo’s day 😊 We definitely recommend them if you need a pet sitter.”

“Taquashia provided excellent service for our French bulldog. He has some restrictions and she was able to meet them while still allowing him to still be a dog. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
“I’d used rover previously & didn’t have the best experience but She really made me feel comfortable with leaving my dog with them while I was gone away. I will definitely be using her again & 10/10 recommend !”

“Our 3 dogs were in the best hands ever with Autumn. She was so kind, conscientious and knowledgeable about pet care. She also sent photos and updates which were so nice to receive. I would 100% recommend Autumn as an excellent, reliable pet sitter!”


“Jasmine was amazing with our 50 lb Jindo named Pooka, who loved not going to a kennel while my father took a three day trip. She kept Pooka in her home and took her out to the dog park next door. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and put my father at ease that the dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
