“Oakley always loves going with Mary! She has kept Oakley many times, and i have nothing but good things to say! She always send pictures and updates throughout the stay and i never have to worry about our pup’s safety! I highly recommend booking Mary!”


2. Kathy D.


“Kathryn was terrific with communication and taking care of my boy. She asked questions to better help my little guy adjust to the new routine and made some suggestions (bring his beds) that I hadn’t even thought of. Not only will I book with this family again, I also recommend them for anyone with a balanced dog!”

4. David H.
“David has been a life saver for me and my fur babies. He is great for over nights and just every day care. My babies miss him when he is gone and so excited to see him when he comes back. 10 out of ten for care and gooming.”

“She was amazing with Gigi I would recommend her”


6. Samuel F.
“Sam has been a huge help with my dog Trapper. He has watched her many times for me. Whether it be for the weekend or during the week for work travel. Trapper is very high energy and is an attention seeker. He does very well to make sure she is satisfied! He cares very much for animals and would never even hurt one.”


7. Akyra R.
“An avid pet lover and pet mom herself, Akyra will give any animal the kind of compassion and care you want your pet to receive. She is willing to go the extra mile, insuring your pet isn’t just cared for, but given the love they deserve as well. Given her experience in pet sitting for me during extended periods of time, I can whole heartedly say Akyra would be a wonderful and responsible caregiver. I highly recommend her as someone to trust with your animal best friend!”
