Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!

Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏

Kyle has care for my pup overnight, for anything from 1 night to 9 nights. She is amazing. My dog clearly loves her and is very comfortable each time I bring him. Kyle is extra communicative and shows my dog love in ways that go above and beyond. My pup and I find Kyle to be very trustworthy and safe. We really appreciate her.

Richelle was amazing with my puppy Kairo while I was away on my trip! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time. Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!

Debbie was AMAZING! She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. She was so kind accommodating my last-minute request and answered all of my questions. Im usually so anal about who I leave my dogs with and schedule meet-and-greets well I’m advance, but something popped up last minute and she was She has a HUGE beautiful fenced in yard that my dogs went crazy for. Her two sweet chihuahuas were great company. Could not recommend more.

I didn’t think it was possible for my puppy to be tired but she is wiped from her weekend with Net and her pack! She had the best time playing and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was safe in a great home. Net was so accommodating about my last minute trip and understanding of my flat tire on the way home! I received several updates each day and we were sent home with some goodies! Will absolutely use Net again in the future. Highly recommend!

We had a last minute need to find a caretaker for our 5 year old Goldendoodle. Jonathan responded promptly, and was wonderful with her! She tends to be a tad anxious in new settings, but he made her feel very comfortable almost immediately. He also sent us regular updates and photos. It gave me a peace of mind. Jonathan has a great vibe!
