“We can’t thank Alan & Lynn enough for watching our boy for our weekend trip! They kept us updated on how he was doing and had fun pictures of him as well. He was in great hands with Alan, Lynn and family! Will definitely use them again! Thanks so much!”
“Steve and Randi were absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy there. They kept us updated and sent lots of wonderful pictures. We will definitely use them and cannot imagine a better couple to watch our precious puppy.”
“Sophie thoroughly enjoyed her time with Katherine, her husband, and their fur babies. I very much appreciated getting daily updates with pictures & videos. They were very accommodating and had plenty of toys and a large backyard that helped keep Sophie entertained and get her exercise. I highly recommend.”
“We just love Agnes and her Family!! And Ollie especially loves Daisy!! Our Ollie walks right in like he’s part of the family!! She always sends us updates and pictures of our lil guy enjoying his days with her!! It’s comforting knowing he’s so well cared for and loved while we are gone!!”
“We requested last minute services and were so thankful Mylana and her family were available. She was great! Mylana was very responsive, sent numerous pics throughout the duration, and our pup seemed to really enjoy her stay. Looking forward to future bookings!”
“Molly actually belongs to my 85 year old friend who doesn’t do computers or cell phones but still wanted to express her gratitude. This is Molly’s second stay with Kristen and her family and they have been amazing to her. Her first visit was for a week when Kristen was out of town but Kristen’s step dad willingly kept her anyways. Molly is never far from my friend’s side and hadn’t had a lot of experience with other dogs so we were anxious to leave her. Within an hour of drooping her off he’d already sent us a picture. He babied her the whole week and documented her stay with texts and beautiful picture updates. My friend is a hard person to please and after she brought Molly home she told me that she thought Molly was a little lonely for her sitter and their dogs. :0) We booked this stay on the same day we dropped Molly off. My friend got sick and needed to go to the hospital but she would not go until I contacted Kristen in regards to Molly. So we contacted Kristen at 7pm and again they willingly accepted her even though Kristen told me they already had a full house. She also didn’t mind that we would book from day to day since we didn’t know how long my friend would be in the hospital. We are so grateful to Kristen and her family. They are wonderful pet people!”
“We are so glad we found Tiffany to take care of our dog Missy. Missy is always happy to go to her house and we are glad that we can leave our dog in a safe home where we know she is well taken care of.”
“Dawn was great. I’ve left my two boys with her twice now and they’ve come home exhausted and happy. They get excited when we pull into the driveway and I have a peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. She is very accommodating and flexible.”
“I will definitely use Allison again. My dog has really bad anxiety but immediately in the meet and greet I could tell she was comfortable. Allison was extremely friendly during all communications, she was willing to work with me on pick up and drop off arrangements. She continuously updated me on how Hazel was doing and sent pictures every day. It was an excellent experience for my dog and me. Will definitely use Allison again!!!”
“Our big standard poodle had a great time on his doggycation with Shay. Her dogs and mine became best buds and played the whole time I think. Haha. Shay's communication was excellent and she kept us updated every day with lots of pictures and messages about how his stay was going. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Aryn is amazing. My family and I had to leave on a short-notice trip, and she was very flexible scheduling a meet-and-greet as well as pick-up and drop-off. She was detail oriented, kind, and loving to our pup. Our dog is a mini-golden doodle and she’s spoiled, so she tends to be needy and requires a lot of attention. Aryn sent pictures, provided updates, and asked questions when she had them. She was excellent at messaging to give updates on Peanut so I didn’t have to worry about how she was doing. When I picked her up, Peanut wasn’t stressed and looked exactly as she did when I dropped her off. This experience has been the gold standard for what I expect from a boarder and I can’t thank her enough for loving our pup while we had to travel!”
“Pamela was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos and detailed reports. It was clear my dog was happy and comfortable staying with her. I really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend Pamela and would definitely book with her again!”
“Austin was amazing! Our dog Murphy was clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. Austin kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. He’s kind, communicative, and clearly passionate about dogs. We will absolutely book with him again!”
“Sheila's family was taking such good care of our babies while we were gone. We love that she sent the daily updates, pictures, and we really appreciate she is being flexible with us. We can tell our two dogs had a blast spending time with the family. We will definitely ask for help again. ? ?”
“They took amazing care of Kell! Lots of pictures and videos and walked him regularly! I will absolutely be using Michael and Alice again and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for someone to take care of your dog! Thank you guys!”
“Anna was great! My dog was having a difficult time with his new surroundings and Anna sent me messages and a photo to show me how he just stayed in his crate. She was kind enough to try several different things to get him to be more comfortable. She sent a video of him finally letting loose and having a great time playing and rolling around in the back yard. By the time I picked him up he seemed like his old self. Thank you Anna and family for your kindness and patience with Charlie. See you next time!!!”
“Zelda definitely enjoyed Mechea’s company! She provides photos and videos of outdoor activities letting you know she is taking care of your fur baby. Highly recommended! If I’m ever in town again I will definitely seek her services.”

When we went to drop off Chato with Cindy for the first time, she was so nice and friendly that we felt comfortable leaving him with her. She send us some pictures of him and messages on how he was doing. Which gave peace of mind. When we picked up Chato the following day he looked happy and Cindy said that he did good with his stay there. We noticed that Cindy was happy with Chato and we feel comfortable enough that we would leave him with Cindy again for our future getaways. Cindy was great! Once again Cindy thank you for take caring such good care of our baby.
Second time having Jinger watch our pups and she did an awesome job with Kola and Moe for our long vacation! She sent plenty of pictures of Kola and Moe and it was great to get the videos of them playing with their toys as well! Jinger was super easy to communicate with and helpful with our dogs unique needs! We will definitely book again!
Janette and her spouse did a great job taking care of my pup. Normally, Peanut doesn’t eat well when we leave her with folks, but somehow, Janette made her comfortable enough that it wasn’t an issue. She sent frequent pictures and made pickup/drop-off easy. A+, recommend!
I usually get really anxious to leave our senior dog home now that she is too old to travel with us. But Shawn was so great with her and I can definitely say I will be a repeat customer after our experience! She came home in a great mood and even had a burst of energy. Most of the time when we leave and come home she has gone through a little separation anxiety and depression. So it shows that she was loved on and well cared for in our absence by him. ❤️
We’ve used Barbra multiple times to watch our little dog, and she has been absolutely amazing every single time! Our pup lights up with excitement whenever we drop her off, which says everything about the care and love Barbra gives. She makes both drop-off and pick-up super easy and stress-free. Communication is always quick—she’s great about responding to texts and sending photo updates during the stay, which gives us total peace of mind. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and kind to care for our dog. Highly recommend Barbra to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!
I recently used Steven and Randi for my dog, Sweetpea and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! They were professional, caring, and attentive to Sweetpea’s needs. They provided daily updates with photos and a summary of the day, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Sweetpea was happy, well-fed, and got plenty of exercise with their walks and playtime. The sitters were punctual, responsive, and clearly love dogs—their dog Mika was an added bonus, great dog to play with and be around! I highly recommend Steven and Randi for anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their dog. Five stars!
It was our first time using Ashley, for our fur baby Dexter. She was very good with him, sent pictures and answered all my texts messages and questions when I messaged her for updates. Dexter had a great time with her Dogs, he played a lot. I will definitely use Ashley when we go out town in the future. Thank you Ashley for taking great care of my baby boy Dexter!
Austin was amazing! Our dog Murphy was clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. Austin kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. He’s kind, communicative, and clearly passionate about dogs. We will absolutely book with him again!
My pups had a great time at Roberta’s house. It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave your fur babies with a new sitter but when we picked them up they were happy and peaceful. That’s always a good sign things went well. Thank you Roberta for taking such good care of them!💗
