We couldn't have gotten any more lucky than we did with Julie & her husband. Our Nya Bear looked like she had a great time in their home. Unfortunately she just started to blow her coat right before we dropped her off, but they continued to brush her out throughout her stay. We'll definitely be having her stay with Julie & her husband from now on when we need someone to look after her.

Being my 1st time using the app with my puppy, I was nervous. Jenai & Sean were outstanding! They made my dog feel like part of their family and treated him with as much love as I do. They were patient with his quirks & kind to send lots of photos to keep me informed. I will absolutely be using them in the future & highly recommend them

Trina was the first dog sitter we left our pup with for a week. I was a bit nervous, but that was silly. Trina was so easy to work with, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog is shy with new people, but she was at ease with Trina. When I came to pick her up, it was clear that my pup was well cared for and comfortable with Trina. I will happily leave my best pup friend with Trina for trips in the future.

Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.

I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.

Daryle and Meg were great with our 100lb Newfoundland/ Rottweiler mix. We always worry that sitters won't be prepared for that much dog in their house, but they were ready! It was very reassuring to know that their yard is fully fenced, and we found their two dogs to be impressively trained.

Ryan took care of my two dogs for an overnight stay at their home, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt completely secure leaving the girls in their care, which says a lot—especially since one of my dogs is 13 and has a lot of feelings and specific needs. Ryan showed so much understanding, generosity, patience, and empathy with her, and it meant the world to me. The girls settled in quickly, and Ryan sent photos of them snuggling shortly after I left and continued sharing updates throughout their stay because they knew how important that would be to me. Ryan never made me feel like my questions, check-ins, or verifications were too much—in fact, they reassured me many times (even saying “data is my jam” 😊), which made the whole experience feel easy and supportive. When I picked the girls up, they were excited to see me, but once I sat down with Ryan to talk through how everything went, they quickly settled again—which told me they truly felt comfortable and safe there. It’s very clear Ryan genuinely cares for the dogs they watch and treats them like their own. I had absolutely no concerns while the girls were with them, and Ryan will absolutely be our go-to resource from here on out. I’m so grateful we found them.

We cannot say enough good things. They have taken wonderful care of our two dogs and have been consistently amazing hosts. The dogs get excited when we pull in and seem genuinely happy to be staying with them. We appreciate the regular picture updates, giving us peace of mind. They’ve been flexible and helpful when we’ve had delays or travel disruptions. Overall, we could not recommend them more highly and plan to continue using them as our dog sitters indefinitely.

I worried that Jordan wouldn’t want to take the time to manage all of our senior dog’s medications, but Jordan didn’t even blink. Lillie is a persnickety eater and pill taker, but Jordan was game and managed to find little tricks that convinced Lillie to take her medicine! I love getting her photos and reports how Lillie is settling in. I am extremely happy using Jordan as Lillie’s carer!
