“Harley has stayed with Kelsi and her family twice and both times they have been amazing with him. Kelsi kept me updated throughout the visits with pictures and messages. Kelsi is great and Harley came home very happy :)”
“Kerri and Chris were amazing to my Lenoxx. They kept me up to date with pictures, videos, and his progress on settling in. He loved their backyard and playing with their baby Echo. Lenoxx has a new playmate. I would highly recommend this sitter and look forward to using them again in the future 🫶🏾☺️.”
“Jennifer is awesome, our dog always comes home happy and we get photos of her having a great time while she is there. Recommend her for any dog sitting needs! Jennifer is flexible with pick up/drop off times.”
“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“I was a little uneasy leaving our girl with a stranger at first but Donald was easy to coordinate and communicate with. I quickly felt at ease. He clearly loves dogs! He had a big yard for her to play in and she seemed to take to him right away. Donald even went and bought a brush to help with her dropping her undercoat. I offered to pay for it but he wouldn't let me. We ended up booking an additional night with him! I highly recommend!”
“My sweet 13 yo Bella (border. collie) has mobility issues. Johnnica had to carry my girl up and down stairs to take her outside. Johnnica was easy to work with and understood my concerns on how hard it is to leave my baby. Johnnica sent pictures and answered my text promptly which alleviated my anxiety. Bella was well taken care of. I was so happy with the care that Bella received that I asked Johnnica to watch my girl again in September.”
“This was the perfect family to watch our dogs! The family I can trust. They are responsible, kind and helpful. I wasn‘t worried about my fur babies at all. And looks like our dogs loved to stay with them too. Even my little chihuahua didn‘t lose any weight(he always stops eating or eats very little when I am not with him). Also, Nikki was sending photos of dogs everyday and they looked so relaxed and happy 😊”
“BOOK JENNIFER NOW! I would like to tell everyone a little, rather a lot about my experience with Jennifer?. In one word; EXCELLENT! Jennifer was amazing, she washed my baby-cleaned her teeth-wiped her paws after going outside and loved on her to make her feel welcomed-sent me pictures of her daily. DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT! She was so amazing my baby isn’t talking to me because she wants to go back?. I genuinely will not use anyone else. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! ❤️”
“I am so happy I found Carly. I was going out of town for a 3 day getaway and my dog sitter cancelled the week of. Carly was thankfully able to take my fur baby and give her 1 on 1 attention! She eased my anxiety with daily updates and made sure my princess returned to me tangle free! We will definitely use Carly in the future.”
“Selau took great care of our pup! She has a great setup for keeping the dogs comfortable and has a great backyard for them to play in. Highly recommend!!!”

She sent us updates during the week to let us know everything was going well. She took wonderful care of our Milo! I will book again her for furture boarding needs and I definitely recommend for anyone needing boarding!”
“Gloria took great care of our chihuahua, Booker. After a short meet and greet, Booker returned to her house wagging his tail and obviously feeling welcome and comfortable. She sent pictures of him napping in her lap, playing in the back yard ( again wagging that tail), relaxing on the back porch, and more napping. She walked him daily, fed him (his meals are table food), played with him, and he looked happy and content in the pictures and video we received. We are elated to have a babysitter that we will call again and again.”
“This is our second time w/ Marianne, and we are very happy. We are definitely returning customers!!! We’re not anxious our worried about our puppy when he’s with her.”
