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!

Kana and Brian treated Phoebe just like family. She had a fantastic time in their big backyard and she came home a very content pup. I'd use Kana again the next time I need to head out of town!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
