“I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to experience Rachel as our dog sitter. She communicated well throughout her stay with pictures as well. She was so friendly and reliable which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would recommend her to everyone!”


“Nicole and her family were great with Archie! She watched him for 10 days while we were on a family vacation. I received daily text updates with pictures. I felt like Archie was right at home with her family and other two pups. I would definitely choose to have her watch Archie again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”


“Our French bulldog, Archie, stayed with Kathryn for a weekend. She sent pictures and updates everyday. Despite the snowy weather, she even took him for daily walks, which I’m sure he loved! We would absolutely recommend using Kathryn for your dog sitting needs.”


“Angela was great. We initially had our pup with her for 5 days but we decided to extended our vacation by a few days. She was very accommodating and agreed to extend her care for our dog. Our pup came back tired and happy. Will definitely have her watch our dog again.”

“Kimberly and Jeremy were awesome. They were friendly, open and caring during the meet and greet, and after 10 minutes I knew that my pup would be in good care. They were quick to respond to my texts and sent me updates during the stay. Definitely recommend!”


“Cheyenne provided wonderful care for my dog Reno. She welcomed him inter her home and cared for him as if her were a regular part of her family. I strongly recommend her for anyone needed care for their beloved pet.”


“Our dogs had a blast with Lisa- they had plenty of room to roam and were clearly given great attention and love during their stay, looking happy in the photo updates she sent and good and tired when we picked them up, ready to nap the whole way home. We will definitely reach out again when we’re in the area if needing a pet sitter!”


“Took on my absolute last minute booking with a level head, introduced my kitten to her other cats so that soon they were nice and chummy. I can tell Limbo was well taken care of. Thanks so much!”


“Cheryl watched my pup, Isla overnight and it was a wonderful experience for both Isla and me! Cheryl made the stay so welcoming and comfortable for Isla! She was so willing to do whatever she could to make Isla comfortable and happy! We will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future and definitely recommend her! Thank you Cheryl! ❤️”


“Dan was very easy to coordinate given my logistics were a moving target. If you have a senior & friendly dog Dan is a gem! He’s patient and kind and his Senior dogs are lovely and welcoming to both humans and new canines! I highly recommend Dan!”


“Hannah and her boyfriend were amazing with our dog! He had the best time staying with them and clearly felt comfortable in their home. Hannah sent a ton of pictures/updates of all their activities which was much appreciated. We could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Jared and the care he provided for our anxious dog Finn! From the moment we met Jared and his sweet dog Charlie we knew Finn would be in good hands during our 10 day trip. It was such a comfort knowing that Finn had all his favorite things from home and that he was allowed on furniture just like at home. Jared was so great at communicating and shared photos often. We could tell that Finn was doing well. He was able to warm up and relax with Jared and Charlie. In the past when Finn stayed at a kennel he was so nervous and upset when he came home afterwards but when we brought him home after staying with Jared Finn was his same sweet self. We will definitely have Finn stay with Jared during any future trips we take. We’re so grateful to have found Jared and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”


“Kara was fantastic. She was an excellent communicator, she took fantastic care of my dog, sent me texts/pictures, and he had a great time with her. So happy this worked out. Thank you, Kara! Sandy sends his love!”


“Janae was perfect. She came to scoop my sweet pup for the day while I had my wedding. She was so kind and caring and I knew I didn't have to worry. Janae communicated very well and sent me photos of Winnie during the time she was with her. Hopefully I'll be able to book with Janae again in the future.”


“Stephanie was great at communicating and was very flexible. We were traveling and needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent daily photos which was nice. I would recommend.”


“Deb always makes us feel so comfortable leaving our little guy with her! She takes him in as her own. Our dog loves to be at Deb’s, and we are happy he is spoiled everyday in her care. Hands down best sitter!”


“Amanda has watched our dog, Daisy, for us two times now. She has gone above and beyond to take such great care of her. Despite Daisy’s wild energy, Amanda exceeded our expectations in the care she gave for her. I feel comfortable leaving Daisy at Amanda’s anytime we need a dog sitter. 10/10, I highly recommend her!”


“Lisa is the bees knees!!! She was so communicative and accommodating. I was nervous but in a pinch and needed to put my trust in someone to watch a very special member of my family. She exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. She was personable and friendly to me too. What an absolute pleasure. Thank you Lisa!!!!!”
