“This was our first stay with Tammy at Totally Pawsome Getaways. We appreciated having a meet-and-greet ahead of our stay, and could see that our pup was going to have fun on their amazing property with all of their dogs. Our pup took a little while to warm up to the new place after our drop off, but Tammy was right there giving her all the attention and slow introduction to the pack that she needed, with frequent updates and pictures to keep us reassured. Soon our pup was right at home, and we felt great knowing that while we were on vacation, our dog was having a Pawsome Getaway of her own. Thanks Tammy! Will definitely use their services again in the future.”
“Alicia and her boys made my pups so comfortable, I wasn't sure they'd want to come home with me after the five day stay! She shared pictures and updates that warmed my heart and put my mind at ease for their first-ever stay away from home. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and highly, highly recommend her to others.”

Cindy was amazing with our dog! She kept me updated the whole time and sent me texts/pics about how he was doing while we were gone, which I really appreciated. He was totally comfortable there and he seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Will definitely be rebooking with Cindy!
Linda took our last minute booking right before the holidays. She had us come out for a meet and greet before our trip and made us feel so welcome.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
