“Ellen is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”

“Laval was great! This was our first time using Rover and he took care of our furry baby. Val was great at communicating and sent photos of our dog while gone. We will rebook Val and in future and I would recommend him to others.”


“Ruby was great with my dog! He was able to go with her wherever she went and had a bunch of new experiences. Ruby was very accomodating and returned him happy, clean, and tired.”

“Rebecca offered a last minute vacation for our older dog Una, who couldn't handle our cabin weekend with another dog, and she had a blast with her! Rebecca was thoughtful, caring, and had such an amazing set-up for Una, complete with all-day outdoor hangs and a little cool pool for the hot weather! I am so appreciative to her and would absolutely reach out again if we were in the area. Una had a great time!”

“Meghan and her loving family were so sweet, gentle, and loving to our dog Nolo. He is a sweet dog but also quite human-like in his peculiarities. They welcomed him in and he immediately knew he was staying with them. He looked back with hesitation as I left him in the arms of 6 petting hands. He watched TV with the family and laid under the dinging table and on the couch!! He naturally received a beauty treatment and hair brushing with ease. I could see he felt right at home. Meghan’s family was fantastic and they were all natural caretakers. Nolo will happily go back in the future. Thanks Meghan!”

“David did a great job with our dog Roscoe for a long weekend! Roscoe is a high energy dog that needs a lot of attention and David had the perfect set up, with a great property including a fenced in area. We received daily photo updates and very flexible pick up and drop off times. We would recommend David to anyone and would be confident having Roscoe visit again in the future!”

“We had a great experience with Erik. We felt very comfortable leaving our first time foster dog with Erik's family. They met with us before to see if it was a good fit. He was very gracious in dealing with our situation. We would recommend Erik and would book with him again.”
“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”

“Edith was amazing, she gave great updates and my pups were very happy to be with her wail I was out of town. Would definitely recommend her if you are in need of a dog sitter!”
“Gilian was a fantastic sitter and gave tons of attention to my dog throughout the whole process. She gave extremely thorough updates and her system provided my dog with lots of socialization which made me feel more comfortable while I was gone. I would not hesitate to leave my dog in her care again.”

“Al and Hannah were phenomenal! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates through my dog's stay. It made me feel very comfortable leaving Cas with them, and I absolutely will again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”
