“I have used Angie's services for the third time in a row and she is a wonderful person and I couldn't have found anyone better in my area to take care of the love of my life Mimi. Thanks Angie”


“Matt and Nicole took the best care of my babies Russ and Delilah especially since I was in a very hectic time of my life. They loved my dogs as if they were their own. They got them personalized name tags and made Delilah a beautiful necklace with her name on it. They gave them baths, took them swimming, and walked them all the time. They stayed in contact and set my mind at ease knowing they were in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend Matt and Nicole to care for your furbabies because they really do treat them like family.”


“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”


“Christian was awesome! He kept us updated with photos and videos the whole time. Drop off and pick up was extremely easy and he was always ready on time. We had a great experience with him.”


“Joanne took amazing care of my senior dog! She was extremely accommodating and sent plenty of updates and pictures. Highly highly recommend Joanne to love on your fur baby!”


“Thanks so much! I was nervous leaving Tank with a new person. He’s my big baby. I appreciated the updates and videos and Tank enjoyed making new friends. Thank you again!”


“Briana stayed with our two very needy and anxious dogs, she took very great care of them and made them feel comfortable. We are so glad we were able to find her. Thank you very much for your services and we will be booking soon again!”


“Maya and her family were great with my senior dog, Auggie. They came for a meet and greet to my house prior to the stay, and then picked him up him off as he isn’t able to get into my pick up truck anymore. Maya was great with sending pictures and keeping me up-to-date with his activities. I got an earlier flight home and they even accommodated bringing my pupper back to me sooner than we had originally discussed. Great people and would highly recommend Maya for any of your fur babies.”


“Alberto was amazing with my dogs. I received updates throughout their their stay. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him.”


“Maria was so amazing with our little Paris. She treated her like a child. Took her to the park, gave her a shower, snuggled her and sent pictures daily. Highly recommend :)”


“Jon did a great job with my large and sometimes unruly dog. Kaya came back from a four day stay with Jon as relaxed and as happy as ever. Photo updates of them on their walks was reassuring that she was getting quality care. Would definitely use Jon again for any upcoming boarding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”


“Great dog sitter! She was with my dog Chloe for a week and always kept me updated and sent me pictures. My dog looked super happy in the pictures and when I picked her up. She also has a nice backyard so my dog enjoyed being there very much! I Recommend her 1000%”


“Mary was the best! After our meet & greet I knew it was the perfect home for Honey to stay for the weekend. She was so welcoming, friendly, informative & honest. She sent updates with text, pictures, and videos of Honey. Mary’s home felt safe & easy for Honey to adjust to. I can’t thank her enough for taking care of our puppy so well. Honey was so loved & well taken care of. Mary truly made us feel like we were simply leaving Honey with another family member!”


“Ginger was wonderful with my dog!! So attentive to my needs and his. Communication was exceptional and prompt the whole time she had the dog. Great fenced yard for running and playing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”


“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”


“Iris was accommodating and pleasant to deal with. She provided photos of our dogs throughout their stay. She provides the majority of things your dog needs and has a nice home to board your pets in.”


“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”


“Deanna is amazing. I hope she is.available whenever I need to board Ricky. She welcomed him into her home and he was one of the family during his stay. I appreciated the pictures and daily updates while I was away and had a good feeling knowing he was well taken care of and in good hands. I appreciated Deanna's patience with me and my schedule and I know Ricky enjoyed her large yard and the companionship of her dog Nekko.”
