“I feel so lucky to have found Jennifer for my pup sitter. She and her family not only love dogs, they treated mine as if they were family. THAT is what I've been looking for. I'm not a fan of crating dogs, or putting them in a boarding kennel. My two dogs must have enjoyed their stay, because they came home happy and healthy. I feel like I have more freedom to visit family or take time off to do things for myself, knowing my two poodles will be well loved and cared for. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“From the moment I met Kathryn and her family during the meet and greet for my two pups, I knew they were in the best hands. The warm and welcoming environment they provided instantly put me at ease, and I could see how much they genuinely cared for animals. Throughout the dog sitting services, Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through in everything she did. I am so pleased/grateful for Kathryn's exceptional care and will definitely be utilizing her services again. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone seeking a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Kathryn!”
“Rebekah, was absolutely a great sitter for my Bucky. Daily pictures of how much fun and exercise she was given. Best part on pickup I could see how much fun he had since he was out in the yard playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Our GSD puppy Micah enjoyed another fabulous stay with Connie! We really appreciate knowing that he is safe and cared for while we are traveling. He benefitted greatly from a weekend of socialization with the other canines staying with Connie. She sent us regular updates including pictures and videos of his stay. We truly appreciate this fantastic service! Thanks Connie!”
“Heather was quick to answer messages and made the process very easy. My dog absolutely loved staying there and I will definitely be using Heather again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Cyndi was nothing short of amazing while taking care of our dog Birdie for a week! We were in constant communication as she sent me messages and pictures of her every morning and night. In all of the pictures, Birdie looked so comfortable and I know that Cyndi took care of our girl like her own!”
“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””

“She was very accommodating. I was able to book same day service for 2 night stay for Christmas. I was thankful that she responded immediately to my messages and was flexible on my scheduled drop off and pick up time, as I was traveling from out of town with two small kids.”
“We were in a bind since the dog kennel was booked. River app came in handy to find someone to watch our dogs. Aside from watching two mini- doxies for a day and a half, our dogs benefited from being around new people and new environment to help them socialize more. At first I wasn’t sure how they would do in a strangers home but they seemed very entertained and taken care of. Tiffany sent us photo updates as well which was nice to get.”
“Jennifer was really great to work with and took excellent care of ourJewelie. She sent daily pics of her playing with her youngest Border Collie Tilly. We highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future!”
“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”
“I could see that my dog loves these people. They sent many photos of my dog enjoying his stay with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area. These people love animals and will take care of your dog like part of the family.”
“Everything went very smoothly! Larissa made Ali and myself very comfortable. She kept us posted and was very accommodating to our fur baby. We will use her again soon.”
“Liz is fabulous! She took such amazing care of our sweet girl. Our dog loved her after the first meet and greet! Liz was great about communicating and if we are ever back in the area we would use her in a second!”
