“Shantel is kind, calm, available, and communicative. She understood our needs and allowed us many short visits (paid) to get our pup comfortable before we leave her overnight for 2 nights. We are happy to have found her!”


2. Cheryl M.

3. Kana S.

5. Amy H.


“Amy was extremely flexible and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs seemed to have had a great time. We definitely plan to use Amy again. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”


6. Tobi N.

“Tobi watched my dog while I went out of town and I was so happy with her! We did the initial meet and greet and she was super welcoming and sweet. My dog is a little terrier mix who has lots of energy and also some separation anxiety, so I am always a little nervous about new sitters who don't know my dog's personality. Also, my dog and I just moved here so this was the first time I'd be away from her, so I was even more nervous! But Tobi was great! She was very assuring about it all, and her fenced yard and her other dogs were great for dog Sadie. She was very attentive to Sadie's routine, and while I was gone sent me photos and videos of Sadie throughout her stay. She even gave me print-out photos when I picked my dog up! I highly recommend Tobi as a sitter and will definitely be using her again in the future!”


7. Patricia R.

“Trisha is fantastic! She is great at communicating. The pictures and videos she sent were wonderful. Our dog Piper looked so happy in the pictures and was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. We will definitely book with Trisha again!”




8. Tracy W.


“Tracy was amazing with our Blazie Boy!🐕🦺! He was with her for 10 days. He came home very happy and I think he really misses her! She took him for walks, sent pictures and updates! I will not hesitate to use her services! She and her husband Mike went over the top 💯%.”

“Heather was great! She was communicative and very competent and trustworthy. She seems to have a good system in place for taking care of multiple dogs and making sure each individual dog feels comfortable and their needs are met. I would definitely book with her again!”


11. Andrea M.

“Andrea is so caring, attentive, and professional. I can tell she really cares for my pup, and enjoys spending time with him. Highly recommend working with Andrea!”


12. Natalie P.

“I booked last minute and Natalie was so flexible. Potato loved her stay, and I was sent photos throughout the weekend. I was reassured that she was in good hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would go to her!”


13. Dana A.
“Loved Dana from the start! She watched our 1 year old English bulldog for 2 weeks for us and so glad we went through her. She dealt with numerous date changes (thank you military) and was still very gracious. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for watching our crazy pup for us!”


14. Francine M.

“Sometimes looking for someone to take care of your pet can be anxiety-inducing, especially when they're a senior dog with needs and you just don't know how people will care for them in your absence. Francine offered in our situation to do a meet and greet, and I appreciated that opportunity to meet. My dog Shelby loves people and she's a good judge of character. I was happy to see that they got along well, and during my absence, I got photos of play time, a few timely updates and peace of mind knowing she was cared for. Francine is honest, friendly, engaged and inquisitive and gave me feedback upon picking her up. Dog people get dog people and she's the best person we've come across in our travels. Thanks again Francine for giving us a Christmas to spend away with family.”


15. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!”


16. Elizabeth G.

“Elizabeth is great! She was very responsive when I had to book a last minute dog sitting and was very friendly and helpful in general. We got some cute updates of our dog feeling right at home with her and the other pups that were around, which led to a stress free vacation. I’m definitely going to be booking again with Elizabeth and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


17. Margaret C.

“Margaret was amazing. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us each morning and night. She sent pictures and made sure there was always open communication! Larry felt right at home with the other two dogs! I will be definitely using them again!!”


18. Brent L.

“Brent was a great sitter for our 1 year old golden retriever, Hank. He was easy to work with and flexible when we changed our pick up date. He was communicative and sent frequent updates/pictures while we were gone. Hank had a blast playing with his dogs!”


19. Sarah M.


“Sarah was amazing with our Pup! It’s clear that she loves dogs and they love her back. Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”


20. Kelly A.


“Kelly was phenomenal. She communicated with us and took photos and videos of our dog 2-3 times per day to show us he was doing well. Her dog, Twyla, is very sweet, and our dog enjoyed Twyla’s easygoing companionship. Our dog also loved playing in the backyard with Twyla - always supervised - and going on 2-3 walks each day. When Kelly had any questions, she reached out to us. I knew our dog was in caring hands, and the pictures of him resting his head on Kelly’s lap showed that as well. We feel like our dog had a great vacation, too!”
