Carly sent us photos and updates on Sophia each day, which was comforting to us because we had never left her with other people before. We highly recommend Carly to care for your furry family member.”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now!

She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“Lorna was awesome with my pups Ginger & Casper! She was able to board them at her home while we completed our out-of-state move on short notice.

We highly recommend and any trips back to tn we have and need a sitter…. We will definitely ask them first hand!!!”

“Hands down the best experience I have ever had with a dog sitter! Natalie was so dedicated to my sweet Heidi.

I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.
“Bailey was dropped off early in the morning. This was his first experience with a daycare. Lori quickly took him for a walk after I said "I'll be back." He handled this new experience well. The visit was actually cut short due to a change in scheduling at the VA but when I picked him up, he was happy to see me, but didn't seem upset at all. This is a spoiled little boy and he was as comfortable as could be expected.! Lori was friendly and confident with how she handled things. I will definitely use here services again! Highly recommended.”

“Lyndsey did an outstanding job again for Gilly. He loves his treat bag she sends home with him and all the puzzles and creative games for rainy days. He loves her outside area but she still tends to make an enjoyable experience for my sweet Gil. He absolutely loves her son as well. It’s his home away from home.”
“Baloo had a great time! It was a one-time visit, but Lorna was totally prepared for tiny Baloo by creating a safe environment for him. Lorna walked Baloo before I picked him up. I would absolutely recommend Lorna!”
“Erick was quick to respond to our request for day care and instantly showed genuine care for our very sheltered rescue dog. Our dog can be shy and easily startled, but Erick’s patient approach helped her feel comfortable. We truly appreciated his understanding and compassion”
“Carola was an awesome host. We met her the day before and she put our minds at ease as this was the first time we left Penny at a daycare. Penny had a wonderful day with Carola and some other dogs. Thank you!”
