1. Laura R.
“Laura is amazing! Period! We left our dog with her while traveling over the holiday and could not have been more comfortable having him in her family's care. She treated our boy like he was a member of the family. He has never relaxed into a new place as quickly as he did in her home. We 100% will book with Laura every time we are in need of someone to watch our dog b/c the peace of mind knowing he was being treated so well was awesome.”

We cannot say enough about how happy we were with our experience. Thank you, Amanda and family!”

10. Deborah B.
“Excellent! I was skeptical about using a dog sitting service. That is until I met Deborah and Gary. They are both wonderful people who care about dogs. I left my Pippy (dog) with them to watch for 9 days. Receiving updates and pictures daily. The vet had prescribed anxiety medication for her in my absence. The entire time Pippy was with Deborah and Gary she did not have to take the anxiety medication at all. When I picked Pippy up she was in excellent shape both mentally and physically. If you have a precious dog that you are looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend Deborah and Gary. I just can’t say enough kind words about them. They are wonderful!”
11. Katie D.
“Kate has watched Rue a few times now and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She really loves Rue and will make sure she is comfortable for her entire stay. Prior to Katie, Rue would stay at kennels and come home disheveled and typically with kennel cough or some other ailment. When she comes home from staying with Katie, she is in perfect condition, happy, and calm. Katie has been a huge help and such a positive in Rue’s life!”

14. Rachael S.
“We boarded our dog Chikoo with Rachael for 5 days while we were out on vacation. Rachael was great with him! She sent photos and videos frequently and we could enjoy our vacation without any worry.

15. Lauren C.

“Michael (and although I did not meet her personally, his wife as well I am sure!) is a boarder who really goes above and beyond. He drove out quite a distance on a short time frame to meet and greet with his sweet old pup Dobby, and really made my last minute request a breeze. I would absolutely trust and recommend them!”
17. Ashley & Raymond S.
“Ashley and Raymond were wonderful! They were accommodating and flexible. I got daily updates, which were appreciated, since Ella wasn't used to being away from home. She did well and I felt like she was in a safe, loving home. We won't hesitate to have her stay with them again.”
18. Christina L.
“Christina cared for our Winnie in her home while we were on vacation for 12 days. This was for the first time we had ever left her for that long. Christina did a great job with helping me feel comfortable leaving her in her care. She sent photos and messages almost daily, and I could see that she was having a good time. Winnie was well cared for and Christina treated her as her own. We will definitely be using her services again!”

20. Samantha L.
“Samantha has cared for my senior and specials needs dogs over the course of 8 years. She is loving, patient and attentive. She cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I was always sad to leave my dogs behind while I traveled, but they were excited because they knew they got to spend quality time with their BFF Samantha! She really goes above and beyond on every level. If I didn’t move out of state, she would still be the only person I trusted to watch my babies. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Samantha!”
