As always, Valerie was amazing with our little furry family member Penny. It gives us great peace of mind to know that Penny is being cared for by someone as kind, thoughtful, and competent as Valerie. We highly recommend her for your pet! She is the best and we are grateful that she can care for Penny!

Contacted 10+ sitters and Erin was the only person willing to give my Mr. Dook a chance. Albeit he is a handful- senior rescue 100lbs reactive Rottweiler, she took the time, and with kindness and open-mindedness, bonded with Mr. Dook which culminated in a SUPER successful 5 day boarding. Thank you so much Erin!

This is the second time I leave Benito with Victoria and she is simply amazing in what she does. Sends videos every single day and many updates during the day, giving you peace of mind while traveling. And Benito always moves his tail and is super happy to see Victoria, meaning he loves his stays in there. I highly recommend Victoria and will be using her anytime I need it.

Ronald, Jason, Bella, and Frankie accepted Reba as part of their pack immediately. I knew she’d be in good hands and she was. They were also kind enough to watch her for an extra day due to weather that delayed my travel. I’m excited for Reba to visit again! Thank you so much, Ronald & Jason!

Kathleen was great! She accommodated me at the last minute when I really needed her and put my mind at ease! She was very thorough and caring while getting to know Munchkin’s habits and interests. She has a very nice house with a fenced in yard where she could run around and play. She updated me regularly with photos and videos of her and took her on a long walk. Kathleen was a fantastic find.

We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.

Decided to leave a review and tip on the way to pick up my puppers instead of after because of how happy they looked in the photos Erin sent us daily! She is compassionate, attentive and responsive. I'm honestly not sure if my dogs are going to leave with me 😜 11/10, would recommend and we will be saving her info for our next adventure.

Valerie took wonderful care of my dog Molly. She even agreed to sit her alone since Molly doesn't get along well with other dogs. This was greatly appreciated as was all the walks she took Molly on. She went above and beyond to communicate with me each day about how Molly was doing; I got many cute pictures and videos of Molly's stay. 10/10 would recommend Valeria to anyone.

Great experience!! To be honest, I don’t trust many people with my stubborn Shiba but Sel took great care or him! He sent lots of updates and pick up/drop off was convenient and easy. He was super flexible! Also… my shibe is usually a litttttle particular but he got along great with his dog Stella and he has a big fenced backyard for the doggos to play in. Overall 10/10! Definitely recommend Sel and Stella! I think my dog was even a little sad to come home with me 😂

Tracie did an amazing job taking care of Buddy—she literally fed him like a baby and made sure he was comfortable every step of the way. It's clear how much love and attention she gave him, and we can tell he’s missing you all, especially his playtime with Link. We're so grateful for everything you did to make Buddy feel at home while we were away. I can confidently say that with Tracie, your fur baby is in the safest hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out again!
