“Eric was so amazing with our two pups! We felt so comfortable leaving them and got updates everyday. We hope to continue having Eric care for them again in the future!”
“We are so thankful to Angela and her family for taking such wonderful care of Minnie. She’s a sensitive little dog, but the calm, happy look on her face when we picked her up said everything about the love and kindness you all showed her. Thank you for giving Minnie such a gentle and loving stay!”
“Brooke and her family were wonderful! They communicated well, sent photos, and overall great hosts for Remy. Would definitely book again and recommend!”
“Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!”
“Pamela provided our dog, Alex, with great care and attention. We were updated often as to how Alex was doing. Alex was very happy during his stay, we could tell by his demeanor. Alex is an older dog and we had no worries about his well-being during his two night stay. We will definitely have Alex vacation with Pamela during our next trip to Scottsdal. Pamela is highly recommended for providing a caring home away from home for your pet.”
“Very caring and attentive family with kids that were kind to our dog. House is safe for any dog. Sergio and Bethany were also very accommodating to the specific feeding instructions we provided.”
“Jazmin was wonderful but Shiloh was terrified. Poor baby. I picked her up Friday around noon bcz my trip to Atlanta was missed. I would highly recommend Jazmin to anyone who needs a sitter. She is kind, caring, and loving..”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Adriana is amazing!!! She took wonderful care of my pups, and I have already booked her again! They were SO comfortable with Adriana and her sweet pup Kayla. Adriana sent photos and adorable videos, and I was certain they were in the very best place while I was away. Adriana made sure they ate well and took them outside often. She also had no problems giving my older pup her daily medicine. She provided the very best care!!! I am so thankful to have found Adriana!!!”
“We boarded our elderly dog with Kim for the first time and were so pleased. She took such good care of him, gave him his meds and sent lots of updates to give us peace of mind. We will definitely have Kim watch him again.”
“This was the first time I did boarding with Chandra. I could tall from the pictures that she was happy and had a good time. Cindy sent updates and pictures. This was a great experience for me and for Chandra. I recommend Cindy 110%. She is awesome!”
“Veronica took wonderful care of our pup! She was so loved on and cared for the whole time. She was also an excellent communicator and gave updates and pics frequently. Highly recommend her!”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Kelly was more than I could hope for to watch my dogs who have never been away from home before. She was very attentive and sent me pictures and videos throughout their time with her, which gave me comfort in knowing they were in good hands. I would recommend Kelly to anyone needing pet care.”
“My pup has a great time with Erica and he is very well taken care of there! Erica provides regular updates and photos and videos and I feel very comfortable with her watching my pup!”
“Huaqing was a fantastic cat sitter over the holiday! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my cat felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. I appreciated her updates and could tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time Chico and Chester were away from home, and Christian and Hana did an awesome job helping them go from scared and anxious to totally cuddly and comfy. Drop-off and pickup were super easy since they’re not too far from the airport. We left a list of special instructions, and they handled everything without any issues. They sent us picture updates of Chico and Chester before we even asked, which we really appreciated. Our pups settled in like they were part of the family, went on regular walks to the nearby park, and even enjoyed hanging out with Christian and Hana’s little girl. No doubt—we’ll definitely bring Chico and Chester back next time we travel. Thanks Christian and Hana!!”
“Stacy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The kindest and most lovely lady, and an even better sitter! She took spectacular care of my senior dog Ernie while I was gone for a week & a half and he absolutely loved staying in her lovely home. Stacy is the best, look no further for the perfect sitter! Thank you Stacy I will definitely book again!”

Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!
If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. I always struggle with leaving Winston because I worry about whether he’s happy, comfortable, and getting the attention he needs. From the moment I dropped him off, Rachel’s organized and efficient system made me feel so much more at ease. Everything was well thought out, communication was clear, and I immediately felt like Winston was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Rachel sent videos and updates every single day and was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. Seeing Winston happy, playing, and genuinely enjoying himself in every video meant so much to me. The biggest testament to the care she provided was Winston himself. After previous boarding experiences, he’s come home anxious, exhausted, or needing a few days to settle back in. This time was completely different. He came home happy, relaxed, and acting like his normal self from the moment I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for and felt comfortable during his stay. Rachel took away so much of the stress and anxiety I normally feel when leaving my dog. Knowing he was safe, loved, and having fun allowed me to actually enjoy my time away instead of constantly worrying. That’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Winston, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation.
I had a wonderful experience with this sitter and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the stay, my dog appeared happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. It was clear that she provided a safe, attentive, and loving environment. I had no concerns or complaints at any point and was very pleased with the level of care and communication provided. I would absolutely recommend her to others looking for a trustworthy sitter and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
Brittany took great care of Millie and was extremely kind, responsive and sent updates and pictures consistently throughout the week. This was Millie's first time away from home and Brittany was very mindful of that. I was really put at ease and felt like she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone and she'll be my first call if I ever need a sitter!

Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.
10000/10!!! We felt so comfortable leaving Mochi with Huaqing. She took such great care of him and showed him the same love we give at home. She shared daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring as we were so far away. I could tell he was comfortable as well by the cuddly pictures of him, it made me happy to see he felt safe. She was also very careful with his dietary needs and made sure to follow the instructions we shared. She’s truly a gem 😊
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️
She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!
Stacy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The kindest and most lovely lady, and an even better sitter! She took spectacular care of my senior dog Ernie while I was gone for a week & a half and he absolutely loved staying in her lovely home. Stacy is the best, look no further for the perfect sitter! Thank you Stacy I will definitely book again!
Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
