“Cindy was great with Winston! She kept me updated through out his entire stay. She took very good care of him, very satisfied. I will book with Cindy again soon.”


“This was our second time with Michelle and Nick, they continue to treat Samson like he’s one of their own! We’ll continue to use them and would highly recommend them too”


“Yi kept me updated and my dog seemed happy, this was for a short stay. I will book her again.”



“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”


“Karl took great care of our German Shepherd while we were on vacation. She had never been left with anyone that wasn’t family, and has a lot of separation anxiety, so we were worried how she would react. Karl took the time to make her feel relaxed and at ease. He kept us updated with daily photos and provided so much peace of mind. We will definitely be returning clients on our next vacation!”


“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”


“I cannot say enough great things about Breanne! She made us feel comfortable leaving our boy with her as he immediately took to her and her home (it’s obvious she’s an animal lover). We received multiple daily check ins with pictures, which reassured us that Bentley was thriving throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Breanne again!”


“Kathryn was wonderful with our dog and I felt that she treated him as if he was her own. She reached out about his needs/concerns and sent photos/text updates while we were away, which were all appreciated.”


“Kevin is wonderful. He kept us updated daily with pictures and notes. Our dogs seemed so comfortable with him. He walked them daily. We felt like he really enjoyed being with our dogs. Definitely recommend Kevin, we wouldn’t even think of using anyone else after our great experience with him taking care of our dogs.”


“Bethany was awesome! Such great communication and very sweet to our Duke, taking care of him for 10 days! The pictures said it all, he looked so happy! Thanks again 😊”


“Ashley was fantastic! I will definitely use her again. She sent daily updates and I had no worries at all about our pup while we were away. Tater seemed relaxed and happy when we returned and I imagine she already misses her new friends.”


“Fernanda took such great care of my dog and was so easy to communicate and work with. She’s very friendly and has so much experience with pets. Will definitely choose her for future dog sitting.”


“I had a great experience with Amy taking care of Tilly while I was out of town! Amy was very communicative and flexible when I had to pick up Tilly later than expected.”



“Lawrencia was AMAZING!! she took such great care of my puppy while i was out of the country. she sent me daily photos and updates of how she was doing. i HIGHLY recommend lawrencia - she is wonderful!!!”


“Kirah and Mitch did a great job watching my Chihuahua! They sent lots of pictures and gave me plenty of updates. They took Norman into their house and made him part of their pack. He got lots of snuggles on the couch and two walks a day. They also have a huge backyard and two friendly dogs that Norman enjoyed playing with. I look forward to dropping Norman off with Kirah and Mitch again soon!!”


“Emily was incredible. I left the country for a week without my doggo for the first time, and Emily made it so easy for me with all the videos and pictures. She took extremely good care of him, and I could tell he felt right at home. I would use and recommend her services a million times over!”


“Trooper was well cared for and Terri provided regular updates. He got snuggles and exercise. All meds were provided as instructed. We will be using Terri and Swaraj again!”


“Everything went wonderfully! I received small reports and photos of the cat every day. Thanks to this, I felt that the cat was in good hands and I had no reason to worry. I definitely recommend!”


“Hasber takes great care of my Jack! He sends consistent updates and will notify me of anything no matter how inconsequential it may seem. I appreciate his services so much. I only wish he wasn't so far from me, but it’s worth the drive. 😊”


“Great family and it was nice to see how happy both of our puppies were! Received pics and updates! Thanks for hanging out with our fur babies !”
