“Always 5 Stars at Michael's house! Ghost Pepper loves coming to visit and stay with Michael and his family. They are wonderful, kind, helpful people and I'm so thankful for their service!!”
“Allison was very welcoming, communicated often, and made us (the pet parents) comfortable leaving Stella with her. She did great socializing Stella with other dogs. Everything we sent with Stella was returned and in good condition. Stella came home happy and well adjusted. It was a great play haven for Stella. We will definitely use Allison again.”
“I wish there were more than 5 stars for the rating. Eleanor deserves a 10. This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter. She was so attentive and took such good care of our dog that there are not enough accolades to say how wonderful the experience was for all of us. She sent videos and pictures during the day and she updated us on their activities. She was amazing!”
“Sandra took great care of my Raven. She sent pictures and had great communication. Raven had a great time in her home. I love that she takes just one dog at a time and has a great yard. She treated Raven as her own. Would definitely book again!”
“Kristen was amazing! Cooper was spoiled with hikes and play time all week. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else, she treated him like he was her own, and inspired us to be better dog parents! We are looking forward to using her again.”
“She is the best! Laurie took care of our wild one with compassion and professionalism. From the moment we met with Laurie we knew that our kitty would be in capable hands with Laurie and her family. We highly recommend Laurie and want to thank her for taking such a good care of our cat.”
“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
“Maryjane and Craig were wonderful hosts for our little girl. Great communication, friendly and easy to talk to, clearly they both have a love for animals. We also received baby updates and photos of our girl and she was very happy at their home! We've already booked a repeat stay!”
“We recently asked Pat and Susan to watch our 3 y/o EBD overnight as prelude to a week long vacation in a couple months. We have never used a sitter outside of our family, and our girl is our world. It was heartwarming to see her acclimate to them and their home so quickly, and we sincerely appreciated the photos and text updates we received. We are thrilled to have found Pat and Susan!”
“Great pet sitter I left my dog 🐕 and I knew she was going to be in good hands. Zaqeisha send me pictures of Fiona to show me how she was doing every other day . I will definitely contact her in the future.”
“Collette was great with our dog. She walked him daily and has a great fenced in yard. She played with him and has her own sweet dog that our dog played with. Her home is very dog friendly. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Once again, Archie had a great time at James and Mallory's - playing with their pups and having a great time. Lots of pics and videos while we were away, thanks again to both of them!”
“Victoria was very easy to work with. We left our dog with a sitter for the first time. He did very well with Victoria, and she sent texts and photos to keep us updated on him. When we go away I will feel very confident to leave him with her again. I will give her 5 stars as far as care for my dog.”
“Sue is wonderful! My dogs and I got to meet Sue and her dogs before she boarded them. She really is patient with my little dogs and understands their behaviors. One of my dogs is very anxious and barks a lot. She dealt with it well and realized he was just unsure of the environment. My 6 pound Pomeranian took a few days to warm up to her but in the end she did. Sue didn’t push herself on my dog and just let my pup come to her. She took special care to walk them and make them feel as comfortable in their new environment. Sue also took time each day to send me photos and texts so I knew they were ok. I have already booked her for two more weeks this summer. I recommend her with your dogs too. It is obvious she loves and enjoys dogs.”
“Sabrina is the absolute best with our little girl Roxy. She keeps us updated with pictures, messages and lets us know if there's anything to note when we do the trade off. Roxy loves spending time with Sabrina and Zeus.”

Linda was wonderful with Bumi. She has a very tranquil home and great backyard. Got photo and video updates throughout and I’m super grateful she was able to extend the booking when my flight home was delayed and I had to adjust pick up time from the morning to the evening!
