“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Steven went above and beyond to ensure Baylee was comfortable, happy, and well-loved. He was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up. We received regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We returned home to a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a awesome dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“This is the first time Raheid cared for my kitty Dartagnan & he was wonderful! Lovely place to explore & excellent management of foods & medication & sent some very cute pictures. Raheid let Dartagnan try his cat’s dry food & discover a new preference, was extremely kind & understanding when I asked to extend visit, & even gave him a complimentary bath! Highest recommendation for a safe, caring, & happy visit for your pet.”
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”
“If you want complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands while you’re away, have Mary watch them! Pepper had the best time at her “homestay” running around the yard, going on walks, and snuggling on the couch. Mary is very experienced, flexible, understanding, communicative, and considerate of your usual routine. you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches - when I picked my pup up, she had even snuck in some unexpected treats and goodies! Cannot recommend her enough. I would love for Pepper to be cared for by Mary again in the future.”
“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”

Not only has she been very accommodating with our last minute bookings (😅 sorry!), but her entire family seems to pitch in with showing care and love to the pets that come in.
