“This was my second time using Aisha as a sitter, “Bay-Bay” was so excited to see her again. Aisha even sent a photo to show me her comfortably passed out after playing with her fur friends. Will continue to book with Aisha in the future whenever she is available. First choice, every time.”
“We had a great experience with Chelsea. Our dog was well taken care of. She was very quick to respond through the entire process. Very friendly, flexible with our schedule, and all at a great rate.”
“Teigan was amazing! My dog Blue can be a little anxious sometimes but she warmed right up to Teigan. She sent such cute pictures and videos and I appreciated that so much!!! Blue had a great time and I could tell when I picked her up that she loved her stay with Teigan. I’ll 100% be asking her to dog sit again ?”
“Chloe is amazing!!! Jake was abused and abandoned before we adopted him in May. This is the first time we have left him. Upon entering Chloe‘s home it was obvious Jake immediately felt comfortable, safe and was treated like a member of the family and spoiled with his favorite things to do just like if he were at his own home. Until Chloe, Jake would only lay next to me. I was so happy when I received a picture of him so content laying next to Chloe. It was great knowing he was in such wonderful, caring hands. I highly recommend Chloe and I personally will only trust Jake with her. Such a wonderful couple with true love & joy for animals.”

I received updates and pictures and he seemed so genuinely loved, well-cared for, and spoiled. I will absolutely book another sitting with Crystal when I need someone to watch him.”
“As always, I felt that my pets were left in the best of care with Lauren while I was away. The space was clean, safe, and clearly set up with dogs’ happiness in mind. It's obvious how much love and experience goes into their care. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Teigan is so so great! As someone that works early mornings at Freeman Hospital, it’s nearly impossible to find somewhere that offers the hours that she does. She is very kind and flexible, and Knox gets so excited to go see her and play with his friends! We will definitely be repeat clients and I’ve already recommended her to some of coworkers that have the same struggles with finding someone reliable and with hours that accommodate the crazy schedule of healthcare workers.”
“Julie and Jensen were so very kind and effective for our puppy’s first sleepover. We will be back for many times to come. Thank you for having a safe, cozy place for him. And the pictures were a nice touch! I highly recommend!”
“Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!”
“Bri'Anna did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! A recent rescue dog, my baby needed a lot of extra attention and Bri'Anna did just that! She was wonderful at providing timely communication and lots of pictures and videos. I will absolutely use her again! Thank you so much. Bri'Anna - you are awesome!”

“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
