1. Sarah M.
“Sarah was amazing with our Pup! It’s clear that she loves dogs and they love her back. Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”
2. Cheryl M.
“Our pup gets so excited when ever he realizes that we have pulled up in front of Cheryl‘s house. She does an amazing job of taking care of our guy. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
3. Romy S.
“This was my first experience using this app. Naturally, I was very apprehensive about leaving my dog with a stranger. Romy, helped alleviate my tensions with her introductions and how well she got along with my dog immediately. She sent multiple pictures and videos daily. We stayed in contact the whole time I was gone. I felt at ease, and knew that I can trust her with my dog. I would highly recommend Romy, and would definitely utilize her again. I have already mentioned this app and Romy to several friends and family.”

“I just moved here from Texas and am happy to have found such a great sitter for my dog. I’ve taken my pup Haze to Shantel a few times now, she’s been awesome with Haze! She sends me pictures and updates on how Haze is doing throughout her stay. I definitely recommend Shantel!”

7. Ethan P.
“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”
