“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“I'm very happy with Heather. I think our dog had a great time with her and her family. He was very relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Heather kept me updated everyday with pictures/video and a description of how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future. I think my dog even misses being at her house a little bit.”
“Kristin and her family did a wonderful job with our dog. He is often unsure of other animals but acclimated well to the household from what she said. He was very happy when we picked him up”
“Jenna was absolutely AMAZING!! First of all, her yard is truly every dog’s dream-beyond that, she was super communicative and made us feel so ease leaving our dogs with her. We appreciate that she only takes on one client at a time, and I was so relieved to not feel stressed during my wedding weekend since she provided updates and photos showing how happy Leo and Dylan were!”
“My dog was very well cared for and loved while we were away. I had frequent updates with photos! Really helped to put our mind at ease. Doug was amazing to work with and we will use his services again when we are out of town. He loves dogs and it shows!”
“Alicia went above and beyond to take care of our yorkies while we were gone. They gave her a bit of trouble not wanting to go to the bathroom outside but she was amazing in asking questions and communicating every day how they were doing! She sent tons of pictures so we could see how much they were enjoying their stay. She was incredibly kind and I could tell really loves caring for animals! Would definitely book with Alicia again 😁”
“I’m thrilled and grateful to have found Autumn! My little dog was so well cared for, and clearly did not lack exercise or stimulation, she came home worn out😊! Additionally, I had several flight delays returning from a trip, and Autumn was kind enough to adapt to the changes. I will absolutely request Autumn for future care needs of my precious pooch!”
“Hard to miss how much Nathan and Jenna love dogs. And how could dogs not love them in return? They have the most amazing set up for a play area for the many dogs they welcome to their back yard. They kept me updated with photos and videos of our Petey as he enjoyed romping with other pups in the back yard and found just the right spot on Jenna's lap to cozy up. Thank you Nathan and Jenna for allowing Petey to join the fun at your home.”
“Thanks so much for the polaroid, treats, plushie, giftcard and for Malbecs Bath!! And thanks so much for being the best dog sitter for her!! She loves you all so much!! Is a blessing to have someone like you in a country where we have no family at all!! We feel so confident by leaving our baby with you”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Sauddi was amazing with my two dogs! She sent pictures and videos every day and took them on plenty of walks. Her care was so good, I was worried that they wouldn’t want to come home 😂”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Melissa was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog I’ve never left her with a stranger before and as soon as I met her I know it would be good. She gave me daily updates and pics which I loved and felt at ease on my vacation. Will def be booking her again if needed!🩷”
“Absolutely love Anita! Her joy is so contagious 💛 I always relax knowing my doggy is taken sooooo well care of by her & her family!! Always a perfect stay!!! Thanks as usual 😃😃😃”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
