“I am very glad that I found Natalie, she was excellent. Natalie was very kind, understanding, and professional. Natalie was very caring, it was clear that all the fur babies loved and respectful her. She was also very detailed and organized in her care functions. My pup is very shy and timid, and he did just fine in her gentle care. I was very comfortable & happy leaving my pup with her, and I will definitely be contacting her again for dog sitting in the future.”
“We have booked with them twice now and it’s been amazing both times! One of my dogs never likes anyone but my husband and I, but was sleeping on top of Ashleigh and Bill and cuddling with them during their stay so I know they’re very well taken care of.”
“Amber was phenomenal!! She took amazing care of my pup. Taking her on long walks and giving me constant updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Casey & her brother took extra care of our dog Louis. You can feel how much their dogs are central to their hearts in their home. Casey made herself available for a ‘meet and greet’ before we left our boy with her for the weekend and knew exactly how to handle the situation. She and her brother are conscientious about all dog issues and we will definitely use their services again. Thank you for a smooth process.”

“Thank you! What can I say about Mr. Andre. This young man is a gentleman and treated us and Ms. Vanilla like we were family. I'm grateful that he was able to deal Ms. Vanilla's antics and offer comfort and love to our baby when we were away. We received lots of pictures, videos and updates. Andre will become our sitter. Again, thank you so much for your kindness.”

“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”
“Sara and her family were AMAZING!!! We have a 4 month old puppy and we were nervous about leaving him and, we had to leave him overnight. Sara took him into her home and not only loved him like it was her own but took him on so many walks, play activities and puppy training. She went far beyond my expectations, nearly to the point where I felt bad taking my puppy home as he was having so much fun! I am so grateful we found Sara!”
“Yolena was great. No complaints.”
“Emily was such a help ! I had to leave last minute to another state and couldn’t take my pups and she took good care of them. My fluffs dealt with anxiety for not being with us. She was so sweet and i can notice the dogs felt better and had fun to stay with her. She has also such cutie fluffs so my dogs had company. Thank you! ❤️”
“Arlissa is INCREDIBLE. She takes such good care of our dog while we are away. We feel beyond grateful to have found her. Our dog has always had some separation anxiety but with Arlissa we never have to worry. The dogs get so much play time and attention. Her communication is excellent and the videos and photos she sends are so cute. Honestly best dog sitter ever.”
“Great family! Felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them after the meet and greet. Received regular updates and photos throughout our two week trip which was very much appreciated. Would definitely use them again! Thanks Rebecca and Ethan and kids!”
“Joe did a great job with my two dogs while we were out of town for a week. It was our first time leaving them in someone else’s home but we felt very comfortable and they were well taken care of! Will absolutely use Joe again in the future!”
“Thank you! My dog was happy when she came home. I could tell she just had a fun weekend. Rebecca did a fantastic job looking after my child. She kept me updated the whole time and sent me pictures. My dog had the biggest smile on her face in every picture. I’m also a little crazy when it comes to feeding and Rebecca clearly followed my instructions (this is a big deal for me). If you book through Rebecca, your puppy will definitely be in good hands!”
“Daphne has always been so lovely and reliable! She welcomed our dogs as a part of her own family and gives top-notch care and communication everytime we’ve used her. They know when we’re going to Daphne’s house now and get so excited everytime! A wonderful family that genuinely loves dogs, cannot recommend highly enough!”

Tammy is excellent sitter. My dogs love staying with her and I am fully confident they are happy and being well cared for when they are with her.
Joe did a great job with our Macie! We were very glad that Joe was able to help out as this was a bit of a last minute request. Joe is great with communication and always prompt to respond. Thanks again Joe!!!
Brooke is the best, hands down! She is amazing with our sweet pup, always going above and beyond!! We appreciate her communication so much and our pup adores Brooke!
Sara took great care of my 5 year old pocket bully. She gave me updates with pictures and he looked so happy to be in her care and play with her dog. Definitely will book with her again if possible.
Great family! Felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them after the meet and greet. Received regular updates and photos throughout our two week trip which was very much appreciated. Would definitely use them again! Thanks Rebecca and Ethan and kids!
Brittany was PERFECT! She took our fur baby on many walks and adventures! She provided a peace of mind knowing he was so well taken care of. She provided text messages and pictures every day! I HIGHLY recommend Brittany for you and your fur baby!
Thanks Tara! He clearly loved you and is currently resting after a stimulating weekend! Tara was motivate, friendly and trustworthy!
Alicia was kind and easy to work with. We felt confident she’d take great care of our two small dogs. Thank you again!
Awesome. Great experience with an emergency situation. It was so great knowing the dogs were well cared for. THANKS!!!
There’s a reason she has so many good reviews it’s cuz she’s the best! My dog Phoebe is generally a pretty anxious girl and doesn’t like to eat if I’m gone but she ate all her meals during her boarding stay here. I loved all the little photos she sent me during the week of my dog relaxing and playing. When I picked her up, Phoebe was relaxed and upbeat. 11/10
