“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Our dogs had a great time! Sharon took great photos of them while they were there, even though it was a short stay. Planning on sending the dogs over for daycare time too!”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”

“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“Ryan did a great job with my high energy lab! He was always kept busy and was very tired when he came home. I honestly don’t think my dog wanted to leave. Highly recommend!”
“Kiana was able to accommodate me on short notice and was a total pro. Efficient, good communication, and provided updates and pictures which is always nice. Highly recommend!”
“I did not use Crystal because the puppies sold first, so no puppies to pet sit, but she was very nice professional in our conversations. I did Not leave any puppies with Crystal, because both puppies were sold before drop off date!”
“So happy to know that our dogs were safe and happy! Such good communication and so fun for our dogs to have such rad friends to hang out with! Thank you so much”
“Ralph was just so kind and caring towards our Roo girl. I was very sad leaving her for the first time with a new person since we moved to AK and knowing she was in such good hands immediately healed the worry! He was very attentive to her and her individual personality, and it was immensely evident how much TLC she was receiving day to day! Ralph was fabulous with daily communication and photos, highly recommend and would 11/10 take Roo back to stay with Ralph!!”
“Great host, super easy to work with, very friendly dog of their own. Our dog is home and happy and tired probably wishing she was still there playing with Charlie and getting great walks.”
“We are so grateful to have found Sarah for our poodle. Sarah was willing to do a meet and greet to ease my concerns. And while away, Sarah sent daily photos and status updates. We will absolutely continue to request Sarah for our dog sitting needs.”
“We left our dog with Joseph and Lisa for over a week while we were out of town. They sent a few pictures and I felt they took great care of our older dog. Thank you!”
“Suzanne was highly responsive for booking and accommodating for drop off/pick up. While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”

Sarah was absolutely wonderful and incredibly accommodating when I needed a last-minute sitter to travel out of state for a funeral. She went above and beyond by sending daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She and her husband even took our fur baby out for pup cups (after asking permission), which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear from the start that they cared for our dog as if she were their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.
Tabetha was awesome and sent me photos of my doggos relaxing at her home. It was so nice to have someone reliable to watch them so I could have a relaxing weekend away. Thank you so much for watching my doggos for the weekend! They came home happy and tired so I know they had a great time! I appreciate all of the photos!! 🩷
Manda did great with my pup, her dog got along great with my pup. She said she would put Lila, my pup, in her kennel when a Lila seemed stressed and let her calm down then let her back out after a while. She sent pictures while she was watching Lila and kept me updated. I plan on using her whenever I need someone to watch Lila 😊
