9. Tasha F.
“It’s always a little distressing when leaving your furry family member with someone else for the first time! From the moment I reached out to Tasha about a trip out of town for a week, I felt reassured that Cooper was in the best of hands! She sent daily pictures and updates, making sure we all knew how well he was doing, and how much fun he was having. Cooper had a blast on his very own vacation! I highly recommend Tasha to watch anyone’s dog. She has patience, lots of room for them to run around, and lots of love to give them! Cooper will most definitely be going on another “vacation” to Tasha’s again. Thank you so much for all that you did to give us peace of mind while we were away!”
10. Kim K.
“Kim was wonderful and loving with my little dog. In the video she sent he looked quite relaxed and at home playing with toys or snuggling on the couch. Her family and beautiful large dog were all terrific with him. Thanks, Kim!”
11. Charity B.
“Charity was great! She was very responsive, sent pictures everyday, and was flexible when our flight was delayed. We will be booking with her again in the future.”
12. Clayton H.
“Clayton cared for my 2 dogs for a week & it was amazing being able to enjoy a holiday not worrying about my babies. He’s well educated & very responsive. We unexpectedly had to add an additional day to our board because of travel delays & he was very accommodating & reassuring. One of my pups is a border collie, could be hard to love if not your own but Clayton gave him amazing care & also when asked to give training advice was completely willing to help in any way necessary. Recently moving to NC it’s very comforting to have found a boarder that I feel 100% comfortable using again. 10/10 recommend.”
13. Emily O.
“Emily was extremely professional. We had a changing timeline and kept adjusting our arrival and pickup times, and she was always more than willing to adapt. She kept communication consistent throughout the stay and was quick to reply to our messages.”
14. Miranda P.
“AMAZING in every way! Communication, updates, and making sure my fur baby was taken care of and loved on! Would use her services again in a heart beat! ❤️”
15. Cheryl M.
“Cheryl is a great dog sitter, I highly recommend her! She responds promptly, treats your dog like family, and her house is spacious with a large fenced in backyard! She’s very nice and accommodating to whatever your dog needs! My dog Biggie had a great time there😊”
16. Kelly K.
“Kelly was amazing with my pup, Theo! She sent me loads of pictures updates and I could tell he was always having fun and being loved. Kelly and her family are so sweet, kind, and thoughtful, I will definitely be booking dog sitting with Kelly again! Thank you so much, Kelly!”
17. Danika R.
“Danika is a fantastic pet sitter. She gives great and timely updates and her children love our dog Spencer. She comes highly recommended 10/10.”
18. Donna & Calvin K.
“Calvin and Donna have a love for dogs. It’s clear and obvious when you meet them and even more so when you pick up your pup from their first time with them. I am over joyed to have found them and 100% trust them with Franklin.”
19. Katelyn D.

“Larissa was and is absolutely AMAZING! She watched our 3 month old puppy for a week and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She was on top of everything and never forgot to send updates and pictures! She was extremely kind and her and her family treated our pup like family!
