“Shawna was amazing! We got so many lovely updates and our pup seemed very happy at her home. She even sent us home with a sweet portrait of our little guy ☺️”
“From the moment we met Skye, we knew Finley would be well cared for. She gave him so much love and even let him sleep on the bed. When we picked him up, he didn’t want to leave! We would absolutely recommend Skye to anyone looking for great care for their pet.”
“Liz was very accommodating with my last minute boarding request. Luna and Bruce got along well I knew luna would enjoy her stay, I would highly recommend!”
“Aleks and her family were absolutely amazing taking care of my baby. I knew my dog Lilah was going to be in good hands from the first meeting I had with them. She asked insightful questions and seemed to really want to get to know Lilah and know her quirks and how to best take care of her which I hadn’t had in another dog sitter prior. Lilah is naturally suspicious of others (was a shelter dog) but clearly loved her and her family. When she was picked up, she whined and clearly wanted to bring her back home with us. lol. Aleks sent photos every day of Lilah which were amazing to see. I was very thankful to see her running and walking lots and enjoying herself in their company. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone I know and if we plan to leave town again will definitely see if she’s available to take care of our girl!”

We could tell they wanted us to feel like he was in a safe space, and they sent us notes and pictures updating us on how he was doing. This was so comforting for us. Will definitely use them again, and recommend to others who need a sitter. Great experience!”
“Jared and Chelsea always do such an amazing job with Annie. They are great communicators, they send pics and videos throughout her stay, and she is always excited when I drop her off and happy when I pick her up. They are the best!”
“Thomas took wonderful care of my energetic pup, Wally and kept me posted on all the fun things he was up to throughout his stay! I felt comfortable leaving him knowing he was in the hands of a true dog lover”

When we brought him to her he had some minor health issues (eye infection, skin irritation) that required some attention and medications that she very nicely provided. She also enjoyed playing with him, bringing him for walks, and in a safe park for runs. He is missing her for sure! I recommend Monica 100%!”
“I’m always a little nervous leaving my dogs with anyone, especially since I have a 9 month old puppy and a 3 year old Miniature Pinscher. But Katya was amazing. She took such great care of them and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while we were away for 4 days. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they got plenty of attention and were treated like part of the family, not just watched. I would absolutely book with Katya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.”

“Felecia cares deeply for the animals she sees. She takes time to understand their needs and routines. High maintenance dogs or dogs that haven't been trained are not a deal breaker for her. I was very worried about bringing my dog over since he can be a handful, but Felecia was willing to take care of him. She gave me thorough feedback about his stay when I picked him up. Your dog is in good hands with her.”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter for Pascha. She was communicative and kept me updated throughout the day and was also very flexible. Pascha had a great time at doggie day care at Lauren’s and was excited to go each day - which says something considering she’s a sassy Shiba. I’d definitely recommend your dog stay with Lauren, they will have a great time and will be in good hands.”

“Liz has been watching my dog all week and everyday my little bug comes home so happy. She does and awesome job with my puppy and has been super flexible with my changing work hours. Could not recommend her and services enough. Best dog sitter I’ve ever used between my current puppy and my last dogs. So so good, and it’s super nice that she has a dog so little archer has a four legged friend to play with during the day. If you are looking for a sitter you can trust. Give Liz a call!!”

I am always extremely respectful of others spaces and make sure to leave everything just as it was when I'm given the chance to care for the space, and religiously ensure that all pet care tasks are handled promptly, my favorite of which is playing with them and keeping them company!
