“Margaret took amazing care of our 3-month-old puppy while we were out of town unexpectedly. She kept us completely at ease with regular updates and adorable videos throughout the three days. We could tell our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved the entire time. Highly recommend!”



“Oliver stayed with JoAnn for 3 days. He had a great time! He loved playing with the Lab, Holly. He cuddled with both JoAnn and her husband and seemed at home and quite comfortable with them. When I went to pick him up, he seemed to want to stay and play. I would definitely leave him there in the future. JoAnn sent regular updates and photos. I could see how comfortable Oliver was and I could relax about him being away from us.”


“Laura & Manuel were great! We were out of the country for 10 days and they were sure to send pictures every few days to let us know our Moose was settled in and going great at his "vacation family" home. They had us do a meet and greet prior to his stay and ensured he would be a good fit in their home. If we ever need somewhere to send Moose for a night away or another vacation, they will be our number one pick!”


“I had to find a last minute sitter because the one I initially booked had a family emergency. Kerri to the rescue! To say I was nervous is an understatement since I don’t normally have my dog stay with a sitter that watches other dogs at the same time but she communicated great throughout the stay and made sure that the dogs all stayed safe. I’ll definitely be using kerri again in the future!”


“Katie was very welcoming to our two dogs and they seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her and her husband. She sent pictures and was also very accommodating to our last minute change request and then unplanned delay because of car trouble. We would definitely recommend Katie!”


“Logann was absolutely AMAZING with penny. Penny is very picky with who she likes especially in overnight situations but Logann made her feel right at home. We got plenty of pictures and updates about our furbaby and look forward to having her stay with Logann and Ollie again soon! Thank you Logann!! 🐶❤️”


“I am so grateful to Lasya and Seshu for being such wonderful hosts to my beloved Sage. They went above and beyond to accommodate my last-minute booking during a family emergency, which truly meant a lot to me. Sage had an incredible time with Lasya, Seshu, and their adorable dog, Simba. It warmed my heart to see how well Sage and Simba bonded, bringing joy to each other throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Lasya and Seshu highly enough, they genuinely are the best. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated with the utmost love, care, and respect in their hands.”


“Jax had a great time with Natalia. He loved playing with her dog and my daughter loved that she sent pictures during his stay. Would definitely recommend. I was nervous as this was our first time leaving him with someone but would not hesitate to do it again with Natalia. Thanks for taking such great care of Jax”


“We loved working with Chelsea. Our puppy instantly loved them and seemed happy when we got him back. Chelsea was really good at communicating through out and sent us pics of the dog and other updates.”


“George is A1. My doggo came back just as expected and he kept me updated throughout the process. This was my first time using a sitter for my dog and I'm happy he made it very transparent and easy.”


“Sassy thoroughly enjoyed her time at Katelyn's. She loved playing with Katelyn's dog Charlie. She came home exhausted and I think a little mad that she couldn't stay longer.”


“I had a great experience with Destiney! She was professional, super friendly, and really took the time to understand and care for my dog’s needs. My dog has some anxiety, but Destiney made both of us feel at ease. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care and could tell she genuinely loves what she does. I’d definitely book again without hesitation!”


“Nichole was wonderful with my boy. The kids was great! We have kids so this house was perfect for him. She updated us, took our boy on lots of walks, gave him tons of lovins and kept him on our feeding schedule. The entire experience was great! I will be using her again and highly recommend.”


“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”


“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”


“Jenna and her family were absolutely amazing watching my very energetic, golden retriever for a little over a week. They were EXTREMELY patient and flexible as my dog was really excited to be around new people and dogs and took a few days to settle in and they gave me a lot of updates every day and tried different things with my dog to help him settle in the new environment with how excited he was. They worked with me and my dog to make sure that everybody was comfortable. Jenna and her family will definitely take great care of your furry friends, and make sure that they are happy and comfortable”
