This was my second time ever leaving Tucker somewhere, and Scott did an excellent job making sure he was cared for, played with, and happy! I picked Tucker up after a long day of driving and flying, and he too was absolutely exhausted from all the playing and running around! Highly recommend! Scott also made sure to update me 1-2 times a day which I really appreciated!

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Erin and Chris are amazing! Their family took such great care of my dog, sent lots of photos, and were very quick in responding to my messages. My pup and I are both excited to book more stays with them in the future!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Lori was well prepared to receive Ash & Ash seemed tp bond with her right away. I like that her home setting is quiet. This is what Ash enjoys & helps her to calm. I'm booking again & am hoping for regular. Thanks, Lori!!!

I think Jasmine is great with animals. She has a lot of experience with different animals. From bottle raising orphans to training service dogs. She is passionate and generally loves animals. She has a way with them that makes them warm up to her right away.

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Samantha did a wonderful job watching Buxton over the weekend. She stayed in contact with us throughout the weekend providing updates and pictures of our dog. He seemed to really enjoy his time there and will definitely be using her for future stays.

Jenevieve was great to work with. Good communication and had a nice place for the dogs to stay. My dogs were exhausted when we got home so I’m guessing they played and got lots of attention. Would book a stay here again ;)

Sara will treat your pet with as much love as she's treated her own. Not only will she be a great pet companion, she's responsible so she will show up on time and communicate promptly. Sara goes above and beyond for the people in her life, and that includes pets. She even bakes homemade dog treats for a local humane society. You can't go wrong with hiring Sara!

Cliff did an amazing job with my dogs, Belle and Ollie. We typically use family or our Nanny for dog care so I was initially a little concerned as to how my pets would respond to being in a new home. Cliff put any concerns I had to rest the first time I met him. He is very organized, has created a very pet friendly environment and generally just a good person. During our time away he checked in regularly and included a bunch of pictures...which my kids loved! I would strongly recommend Cliff to anyone looking for a kind and responsible dog sitter. I plan to use him again the next time we travel!

Sutt was well taken care of when we had to head out of town for the weekend. Kaylee kept us posted while we were gone. She was also willing to take Sutter when she already had another booking. We’ll definitely be booking in the future.

A wonderful sitter! She gave us great updates and took wonderful care of our Hector. He's an anxious pup, but by the second day Molly was describing his behavior and he had settled into his normal routine, which is just amazing. I cannot overstate the piece of mind that gave me. Will book with Molly again!
