1. Brianna A.
“Excellent care! I never leave my fur baby with anyone she goes with me every where, but I had a family emergency and Brianna loved, walked. Played and treated my best friend with loving care and kindness. I even had extended my stay and she gladly accepted to continue keeping her. I was given many pictures every day and a written update on how she was doing. She included how much my fur girl was eating and drinking, she provided toys for her to play with and my fur girl was allowed to sleep with her and hang out on her couch. My fur girl was treated just like she is when she is with me. She came back home happy, and well cared for. Brianna is now officially a part of our family! I highly advise everyone who loves their dogs to make the smartest choice and give your pet the best care possible. Brianna I can’t say enough good things about how much I appreciate the care and love you gave to my best friend. Thank you!! You are a true blessing!”

7. Trey K.
“Trey has been a reliable dog sitter and trainer for my pup. She is kind, has great communication and is very caring. We are very lucky to have her!”
8. Kerri & Julian T.
“From start to finish Kerri & Julian were the best in communicating and understanding just what I needed. Unfortunately during my travels in Alaska, I had to put down my senior dog Barkley of 14 years. I knew it could happen any day but even so, we truly are never ready to say goodbye. His passing made me hesitant & worried about leaving my cat 🐈⬛ Bobby. Barkley & the cat were the best of friends so I felt deeply apprehensive about it. Both Julian & Kerri gave him all the needed L♥️VE & ATTENTION to make him feel at home. In the end Bobby made friends quickly with their cat, Willy. I would highly recommend them with your fur babies and I cannot thank them enough!!”
9. Sheila N.

Lindsey communicates very well and is always so kind and flexible. She took our dog on good walks and does fun activities with her. We had a sleepy pup on our hands after pickup. Would book with Lindsey again for sure!”
