1. Chris K.

“Chris did a great job with our pup over the 4th of July. Our dog struggles with firework anxiety but we got updates from Chris throughout the weekend and he did his best to keep her calm. Thanks Chris!”


2. Josie & Michael D.

“Josie was amazing with my stubborn loving Bulldog! I can tell he had a great time and really bonded with her! He will definitely come back! Thank you for also taking care of me by sending his daily pictures!”


3. Melissa B.

“Wonderful dog sitter! She was on time to pick up lily and kept her for 8 days. She made sure Lily was eating and made lily's food exactly as I would. She sent plenty photos and updates. I would use her again for sure”


4. Roxanna C.

“Roxanna was great with Kallie! Kallie can be shy when it comes to new people/places but she opened up right away once she met Roxanna. My flights coming home to South Bend kept getting delayed and Kallie ended up staying an extra night. Roxanna was extremely understanding about the situation and took care of Kallie as if she was her own. Highly highly recommend ?”


5. Betty G.


“We always use Betty when we need a sitter, and it is so good to know our little one is safe and well cared for! The last time I dropped off Lucy, Lucy hopped right up on the couch and made herself at home! She is a very shy little dog and I loved seeing her so comfortable. Highly, highly recommended!”


6. Christina S.


“We are already setting up a second appointment. Christina was incredibly accommodating with updates as well as our schedule. An amazing asset for us”


7. April K.

“Griff and Butters LOVED staying with April. They made themselves at home immediately. We felt secure being gone and knowing they were in good hands. They loved Jake. And thanks for the pics, April!”


8. Lindsay M.


“Lindsay sent me a few update pictures for my dogs two day stay. she was flexible with pick up as there was an ice storm that slowed down my pick up. She had us do a meet and greet prior to stay to ensure my dog was a good fit. The best part was my hyperactive lab was tired for 3 days following his stay. I definitely will book with Lindsay again!”


9. Lanae K.

“We had an excellent experience with Lanae. We have had her take care of our animals a couple of times now and both experiences were very good. Excellent communication and pet care.”


10. Katie S.

“Felt like my pup was in great hands! Would definitely stay with Katie again!”


11. Anna E.

“Anna was absolutely amazing! She sent us so many updates and pictures. She was also super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will 100% rebook again!”


12. Faith G.

“Amazing!! Faith was so attentive and made our anxious dogs quickly comfortable. When we picked them up they were tuckered out from having so much fun! We also received lots of pictures and videos, which we loved.”


13. Alejandra M.

“Alejandra was so sweet and loving to our baby! She updated us with photos and videos, he had such a fun time. she was super accommodating with traffic on our trip also which was amazing!!! i couldn’t recommend a better sitter for our puppy moose <3”


14. Kevin R.

“We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!”




15. Pamela W.


“I admit that I was a little nervous leaving my 95+ lb energy-filled puppy with someone new for an entire weekend, but Pam wasn't fazed at all and proved to be up to the task! Pam also made sure she followed the rules we had for Henry (like waiting patiently to eat and not giving too many treats). Henry also had a playmate for one of the days, which was a welcome surprise since Henry loves to play with other dogs. Pam also took the time to brush Henry (which is something he loves, but not a task that I ask people to do). That was very sweet of her. It's obvious Pam loves the animals she cares for and I would definitely bring him back.”


16. Genia O.

“Genia was great, sending pictures of Augie and keeping in tounch as needed. We were very pleased with her accommodating our last minute need for a sitter and for the care she showed our dog.”


17. Emily S.

“Emily is loving, reliable and a great communicator. She kept me updated through texts and pictures. My Boston Terrier has unique medical needs and Emily was willing to take the challenge. Tucker thrived while in her care. Emily not only cares for your pet but delivers tender, loving care. She will be my first choice for all pet “babysitting “.”


18. Melissa M.
“Melissa is a dog whisperer. If I am not available, my 7 year old anxious yellow lab is happiest when Melissa is his temporary caregiver. I trust her completely to take care of my home and my anxious pup. She is dependable and communicative. She texts me pictures while I'm away so I know he is living his best life. We feel very lucky to have found Melissa!”


19. Eddy G.
“Gabriela is a wonderful sitter. She has such kind energy. She followed all the instructions I provided and sent tons of photos of my sweet pup. I'll definitely call on Gabriela again!”


20. Katelin T.

“Our 2nd visit to Katelin. Fantastic communication. Really appreciated the adorable daily update photos! Keke had a blast with her friends and was well taken care of. :)”
