“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Rover was quick, easy. The fact that the people who keep your dogs are vetted, is very important to me. Jesus was referral to me. He was wonderful with McKenzie. He was kind, understanding & patient with my elderly dog. He was extremely professional. I will definitely use Rover again & Jesus - absolutely! It was a very positive experience for me & my dog!!”
“Ana and Byron were wonderful. They help me put my worries to rest. Zoey loved being with them. They sent daily pictures of Zoey. I knew Zoey would be ok with them when she fell asleep on their sofa during our meet and greet. I will definitely use them again.”
“Mercedes is the best at what she does. My dog loves her and her family. Very loving and caring and gives constant updates so you feel at ease if you’re wondering how your pet is doing. Overall 5stars and would highly recommend. Thanks again Mercedes. See you next trip!”
“Angelo is,awesome. They really love dogs and take care of them as if they were thier own. Incredible communication and loved the videos he put together I will be using them for a long time. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Very great person & kept me updated with my dog throughout the whole stay . Due to me having a husky I be very scared with people watching him but I felt very sure with her & the fact she had experience with huskies . Thank you!”
“Iman was absolutely great! She was on time and patient with my dog. He was in a new environment, and old and stubborn, but she was able to handle Billy D. I will definitely recommend and book Iman again. She was a 10/10, thank you Iman.”
“Kaneishia was absolutely amazing with my baby. I was extremely nervous and HIGHLY emotional leaving her with a stranger for the first time for almost a week. She stayed in touch with me every single day along with pictures and videos to reassure me that my baby was in good hands. She spoiled my baby just as I would and took really good care of her. Definitely will be booking again for future trips. I trust her with my baby moving forward and extremely thankful!”
“I honestly can't say enough about Sandy and Steve. They both are AMAZING!!!! I was a little nervous, but they assured me everything would be great, and they are experienced in taking care of pets. They sent pictures to show me that my baby girl was fine, and I could tell just by the photos that my Bella was absolutley happy. Thank you so much, guys, you both are truly amazing. I do believe their 10-year-old son was a big help as well.”
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”

“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Penelope’s stay was exceptional! Yeju took such amazing care of her while we were away, we didn’t worry one bit while out of town. We received daily photo and progress updates, and she even sent her home with cookies! Will absolutely be booking again when we travel.”

Kimberly once again came through when my flight was delayed and I was unable to get back on time. She kept Camden for an extra night last minute, making the trip a lot smoother for me! Camden came back exhausted from what was evidently an exciting 2 days for him.
