“Maggie loves staying with Heather and Remi! She gets to play and run and have such a fun time. Heather is so friendly and communicative. We will definitely book with Heather again in the future!”


“Ebony was great with Eleanor and she seemed to have enjoyed the stay with how tired she was when she was picked up! Good with sending daily updates and would recommend Ebony and her family to all!”


“Beth took amazing care of Monty! He got plenty of exercise and attention and I got plenty of updates while I was away. It was clear when he got home that he was far happier than when I've had to kennel him on trips. I would definitely call Beth again when I go out of town.”


“Grace was great at communicating. She provided photos and updates during our pup’s stay. I’m sure he would love to stay with her again in the future! We’ll definitely reach out next time we need a dog sitter.”


“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”

“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”


“My dog felt right at home from the get go. Alexandra was super accomdating amd patient during the inotial meet up. She and sage (her dog) were really friendly and bella felt at ease right away. She maintained very clear communications throughout the stay. Would definitely boon again.”


“Leah was an amazing sitter for my little elderly chihuahua! I haven’t left her with a sitter since her heart failure diagnosis and was extremely anxious. But Leah immediately set morning and evening alarms to make sure she got her medicine on her normal schedule and she gave updates and sent pictures through out the day, every day. Leah was a godsend for me to find, I would definitely book her again!”

“Crystal was very trustworthy. She let me know how my dog Hollow was interacting on a daily basis. I felt that Hollow was in a very safe environment and I will use Crystal in the future and I’m sure Hollow would agree if he could talk. Thanks for allowing us to feel assured while we were on our vacation”


“Shunita was amazing!! It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and informative! Communication was great & I got videos daily, will definitely be using her again !!!”


“Shelby was incredibly flexible and responded quickly when we needed someone to watch our pups for a last minute funeral. We will definitely use her again.”

“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”


“Melody was super nice and so easy to work with! She cared for our puppy over New Years Eve. She kept us updated on how the puppy was doing throughout her stay. She was great with Willow! We will definitely work with her again!”


“Deirdre and Raymond we’re great with our little 3 month old puppy. He had a lot of fun and we loved getting the pictures and updates. Highly recommend. We will definitely be using them again!”


“Ciara is the absolute best dog-sitter for our two fur babies. They stayed with her for 2 weeks allowing for us to have a much needed, worry-free trip. They had a blast and came home healthy and happy!”

“My babies are always in good hands with Aspen! They get plenty of exercise and attention, and I love the daily photos. I am never worried about my 2 dogs when I'm out of town when they're with her. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”



“She take a very good care of my dog, always send pictures to keep me updated and ask questions about the dog to make they’re as comfortable as they can. She even gives my dog a shower before he leave. She also pay attention to how my dog eat and notice that he’s only eat if you mix his food. I would definitely recommend her and be back next time.”
