Amanda took great care of our pup! She was fast to respond and sent pictures during his stay. He came home soooo tired. Would gladly have him stay with her family again.

Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!

Alexis, her husband and Bane (their pup) made OB stay amazing. I got pictures and Updates every day and he was having such an amazing time. They spent so much time and focus on him and he had a wonderful time with his doggy play friend. I definitely recommend booking them to watch your beloved pet.

Vanessa was extremely helpful & amazing. She was awesome about everything including communication, walks, and drop off/pick up times. I appreciate her initial questions because it's like a detailed profile so she already has a good idea about your pet. I will definitely be booking in the future.

We just left our dog, Mapo, with Emily, and we couldn’t be happier! Emily sent regular updates, complete with adorable pictures that clearly showed how much fun Mapo was having! When it was time to pick her up, Mapo seemed so comfortable she didn’t even want to leave. Emily was also incredibly flexible with our schedule, which we really appreciated. Thank you, Emily, for making Mapo feel so at home! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!

Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!

Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!

Tracy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pics of our pup while we were away. Our dog, Charlie, settled in nicely at her place and seemed to have a great while he was there. We feel very fortunate that Tracy was able to keep Charlie over the Thanksgiving holiday, as our regular sitter was already booked. Now we have another option moving forward, as we would definitely book with Tracy again!

Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!

Jessica is great to work with! She dog sat both our dogs while we were gone over the weekend. We had peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands bc she sends daily photos along with updates on how they’re doing. We’ve used her several times and can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend her services!
