“Debbie is an amazing and attentive dog sitter. I felt absolutely at ease leaving Kona with her.

“Tracy is amazing!! I have never left my dog with anyone and was very nervous about it as he is a 200+ pound English Mastiff. We brought Moose to meet Tracy first and he instantly was comfortable with her. During his 5 days with Tracy, I received pictures and texts about Moose consistently. I can’t say enough good things about how Tracy cares for Moose and how comfortable she made me feel.”

11. Angela R.
“We had Angela watch our 2 dogs over the weekend and she did a great job. Our dogs are older and require special attention, they need medication in the morning and need assistance getting outside at times to go to the bathroom. She did everything with no problem and she also would keep us updated with how they were doing while we were away. We would and actually are using her again while we go away later this year.”
12. Kara R.
“Kara did an amazing job. My dogs loved staying with her. She took them on walks and made them feel at home. I will definitely book with her again.”
13. Dennis B.
“We couldn’t have picked anyone better than Dennis! He was absolutely phenomenal with our pup. Kept her very busy while we were away and showered her with love! Highly recommend.”
14. Noreen C.
“This testimonial is to recommend Noreen Corey as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has dog-sat for our dog, Toby, numerous times. Toby loves it when she comes to stay at our house. Noreen takes Toby for walks, plays with him and is just a great pet caregiver. I know Noreen looks forward to seeing and being with Toby because she asks me how he is doing when we talk. My husband and I are completely confident in the care that Noreen gives to our dog. Noreen is an excellent pet caregiver.”
15. Gabriella C.
“Everything was great. Thanks!”
16. Ashley S.
“Can't have enough stars! She has now cared for my dogs twice and I will be bringing them here again. Fantastic, she communicates and keeps me updated on my pups every day, even sending photos. I don't have to worry when I leave my dogs with her.”
17. Aleeyah A.
About: Caring for animals comes natural to me, I have owned and cared for animals since I was a young girl 🐾 🐱🩷 your pets are in good hands :) I am currently a college student. My schedule is light, this gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to take care of your pets! I will follow any rules you have for me in order to properly take care of your dogs, normally in my clients homes I provide the exact services they need.
18. Thomas J.
“Thomas was the perfect sitter for Beauty. She does best with someone who will let her sleep outside or in the garage and just be around. She seemed so happy and got to go on some little local trips. Thomas sent pictures daily with updates which was perfect for me.”
19. Delaney K.
“Our pooch stayed with Delaney for 2 nights. I know for sure he enjoyed his stay. First the big grin on his face that shown in the pics Delaney sent to me during his stay gave it away. Second he ate all his food that I packed. It usually takes him a day sometimes day and a night for him to feel comfortable enough to eat. Third he ran toward me at first when I arrived to pick him up then ran back toward her backyard in an effort to show me where he played while there. Delaney answered all of my questions pre-stay and anticipated some of my questions. 5 star stay and experience. Will definitely check with Delaney first when looking for care for our 4-legged family member.”
20. Morghan D.
“This was my first time leaving my fur babies with anyone beside family and I was nervous. But Morghan was great! She sent me pictures during their stay and kept me updated. My dogs loved playing with her 2 dogs and when I arrived to pick them up they just seemed so happy 🥰 when I got home they passed right out. They had a wonderful playful weekend and I’m super grateful.”
