“We love Eboni!! She takes great care of our dog when we go out of town and is good at sending picture updates ❤️ our pup always looks so comfy and calm with her.”
4. Kelly & Brian W.
“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”

“Wonderful sitter’s!! My dog, Bella, had never been with anyone, but us. I was scared at first to leave her with anyone, but Kira made me feel comfortable with updates and photos. I would definitely use them again!!”
6. Erin F.
“Erin took great care of our pup and he had such a good time. She let me know how he was doing and sent cute pictures as well. We can definitely recommend her and will book with her again in the future.”
7. Colleen S.
“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”
8. Dalis S.

9. Juyne P.

11. Barbara & Keith W.
“We highly recommend Barbara and her husband as the y took great care of our 15 year old senior pup. Our dog has some memory problems at his old age, and Barbara met with us beforehand to allow him to meet her, and also her sweet dog and to allow our dog to visit the house beforehand. During his stay, she kept me updated with photos and quick text updates which I really appreciated. They did a great job making our old pup comfortable for his time with them! We would reuse their service and will recommend them to others!”
12. Deborah R.
“Deborah did an awesome job watching my dog while my family and I were away for a week. My dog probably thought HE was the one on vacation! He clearly enjoyed is time at Deborah's, playing with her dogs and going outside a lot. Deborah sent me lots of photos and kept me updated on a daily basis on how things were going. I will definitely book Deborah the next time I travel and have to leave my dog behind!”

They are both very kind and kept me updated on Max the entire time they sent. Lots of pictures, their house is laid out great, I can’t say enough good things. I will definitely be using them again and again.”
