“Daniel & Rachel were so flexible when I was delayed with pick up and took adorable photos of Yote. He returned home happy and tired from playing with his friends.”


“Susan was a wonderful host and caretaker for Precious. She was very attentive to what her feeding schedule should be as well as her sleeping preferences. She sent photos and updates in a very timely and enjoyable manner and made us feel very comfortable knowing that our little dog was being cared for in the very best way. After the stay, she even noted steps she had taken to ensure Precious ate well. Previous seemed at home at Susan's home and it was one of the few times she wasn't rushing out the door to "mom."”


“Maya is great with the dog. She takes a good care of my dog Maddie. She sent pictures every day to keep us up to date. I would definitely send my dog to her next time when we need and certainly recommend her to everyone who needs a dog care.”


“Amanda and her kids were very attentive to my dogs needs and took really great care of them. Amanda always responded when I messaged her about the dogs and sent me pics of their stay. I know my dogs can be alot to handle and I truly commend Amanda for taking care of my two dogs ontop of taking care of her 3 children! I was very pleased with how everything went. One of her children even sent my dogs home with a toy that was handmade for him! I highly recommend Amanda to sit your dogs they will be well taken care of!”

I ended up having an emergency which left Zephyr with Wendy for an extra day, and she took care of him no problem. Your pup is in good hands with Wendy!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“Our sweet Samoyed, Kash enjoyed his 10 day vacation with Jeremy! We started off with two days of doggie day care so they were both comfortable with one another before the vacation. Kash loved the fenced in back yard to run off the puppy energy. We highly recommend Jeremy and will DEFINITELY book him again.”

“Shelly was great with Kona! She sent pictures and Kona was very happy to snuggle with the family on the couch and play with her son! Very responsive and reliable. Happy to have found Shelly and will use again!”


“We were so nervous about leaving Marshall with anyone. He is an almost 17 month old cockapoo that is totally spoiled. He has never been away from us over night. April and her husband (and their dog, Ollie) were absolutely wonderful. April is a very calm, quiet person who communicated with us how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. We are 100% satisfied and pleased!”
