“Rebecca is fantastic! This is the second time she’s watched our two dogs and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She sent regular updates with photos and was helpful with communication from start to finish. Most importantly our girls came home happy and healthy.”


“I needed last minute boarding and Ashley was eager to help. She was a great communicator and took great care of Duncan. I definitely recommend boarding with Ashley.”


“Ann & Arman took great care of our dog. Our dog prefers to snuggle and be snuggled. They did all of that and more. He was well cared for and they sent us lots of pictures for us to see the fun that he was having. It makes it easier to be away from him when you know that he is comfortable and loved. Thanks you so much!”


“Mindy was fantastic with our fur baby, we felt extremely comfortable leaving Star with her and it was clear Star had a great time! Tons of cuddles, walks and playing + we were sent some great photos that put our mind at ease while traveling.”


“Heather was so sweet with my pups, Vienna and Arlo! She has a warm demeanor, which helped to create a pretty instant level of comfort. I love that she had a playmate for them as well, everyone seemed to get along great! Heather is also very responsive, which is always appreciated. Will definitely use her services again. 😊”


“Brooke was amazing with my sweet girl Tinsel! She sent updates and was quick to respond when I messaged her. We will definitely be making her and her family our regular dog sitters!”

“Dan and Holly were just awesome! My Toby has a wonderful time vacationing with them and their bassetts. You can tell they are extremely passionate dog lovers and genuinely enjoy and love every dog that comes into their home. We will definitely be booking again!”


“I can't thank Sarah enough for taking such good care of Milo. She’s super attentive and sent pictures regularly of Milo having fun to put my mind at ease while away. She goes the extra mile to make sure that both the dog and the owner are happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friend.”



“Our puppy Luca had such a great time with Heather and her family! We could have not asked for better care for our boy! Heather was so attentive to Lucas needs and how to keep him active, engaged, and happy. We received lots of pictures and videos while we were gone giving us peace of mind. Luca loved playing with the family dog and even had extra pup company while enjoying a beautiful evening outside by the fire. We will absolutely have Heather and her family sit for us again!”


“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”


“We are thrilled with the care they gave our dog Rosie. They kept us updated with how she was doing and what she was doing. We hope they are available to care for Rosie again in the future. Jenny, Jeff, and Emma”

“Tegra was quick to reapond to any communication. We had many concerns because our dog was recently adopted, not fully trained, and a tripod! She was very helpful and flexible. Our dog was happy and secure when we picked him up! So grateful for Tegra!”

“Maura was great to work with. She clearly loves animals and was very sweet to my dog. Responsive to questions, sent a few pictures and treated my boy with love. Highly recommend booking with Maura!”



“Great experience with Angie, she did a great job with our spirited Doberman and we were able to go away for a few days without worry! Great communication and was flexible.”


“Alex and her family were wonderful! Had great communication and our puppy was exhausted from a super fun time! We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing she was so well taken care of. We loved the pictures and videos so much!”
