“Caitlin was a wonderful pet sitter for my cats. She did a great job taking care of my cats. She was in constant communication with me and sending me pictures and videos. I really recommend her. Thanks Caitlin!!!”
“We could not have imagined anyone better than Mimi and Terrell to have watched our sweet Nico. They truly treat their pups as family and extended that to ours. Throughout the week we received constant updates via photo and video and could tell that Nico felt right at home and loved being there so much. We will choose them anytime we need someone to watch our pup because we know he will be safe and loved there always.”
“Jennifer was excellent with my Dog Oreo and providing constant communication and photos. Seems like Oreo did enjoy his company with other dogs also during his stay. Also Jennifer made sure that he is eating his food and treats as per the schedule. Thanks and will definitely will take the services again!”
“Dillon was great! I’ve never left my puppy before but he made sure to send me pictures and updates during my mini weekend trip. He let my Bo play with his dogs and took him for walks. He’s someone Id recommend to others and will definitely use him again.”
“There are not enough kind things I can say about Jackie, she took incredible care of my fur baby. My mom unexpectedly passed away and I needed to leave town on very short notice for a week. I had never used Rover before or boarded her for more than one night in the 10 years I’ve had her. I had extreme anxiety about leaving her with someone else, especially during such a vulnerable time. Jackie took the best care of her, and when I say best, I truly mean the best! Nala also has anxiety when away from me and in only one day being away I was getting pictures of her with a huge smile on her face! Jackie and her family treated Nala like she was apart of their family, and gave her lots of cuddle time too 🥰. They knew she was anxious too and did everything they could to make her comfortable. Jackie constantly stayed in contact with me with messages on how she was doing and lots of photos and videos. In 10 years, Jackie was the first person I trusted with my baby and I’m so happy I did. It allowed me to take the time I needed and gave me the piece of mind knowing my baby was being cared for as best as possible. I feel so grateful to have found her, I never would have been able to get out of town if I hadn’t. I couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for someone who takes just as good of care of your fur baby as you do ❤️.”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful with our girls. When a health issue arose with one of them, she handled it like a pro and kept in close contact to assure we knew how she was doing. She was very easy to work with and went above and beyond to accommodate some unexpected changes. We would definitely trust her with our girls again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Highly recommend very respectfully and friendly dog sitter! Not just he boards but will walk your dogs too! Will be booking with again! My dog loved spending the weekend with him! Thanks for what you do HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“I highly recommend Peggy to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their pet! Prior to my dog’s stay with her, we met with her so she could ask some detailed questions about my dogs preferences and her home is “dog proof” as she says so my dog was able to explore a bit before she stayed with Peggy! Overall, Peggy was very communicative and very sweet with my dog and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend!”
“Lizzie was a perfect caretaker for our 7 year old golden doodle! She sent pictures, videos and communicated the perfect amount during our dog’s stay. We will booking with her again!”
“Jill was fantastic! My dog Rue was well cared for over a long weekend. Jill sent many pictures and updates and made clear how much she loved Rue throughout the stay. I’ll definitely have her watch Rue again if I go out of town in the future. Thanks so much, Jill!”
“Kimberly was WONDERFUL! She was so sweet to our dogs, sent us communication throughout the stay and was just a very kind person. Max and Muffin had a wonderful time and we will definitely be using her services again. Just a note, our dog Muffin is 17, blind and going deaf and she took wonderful care of her. Her family also loved on our dogs which was so comforting to know as well. Thank you so much!!!”
“Norma was an incredible dog sitter for my Orion. While I was out of state missing my sweet boy she sent daily updates and photos which made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her family. Orion had a blast and I know we will definitely use them again when we need someone to watch Orion.”
“Danielle was great, she was flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule and was very willing to snuggle with our dog, who believes she was born to do nothing else.”
“Katie was amazing she made us feel comfortable leaving Max with her beautiful family, she was always sending us pictures of him and letting us know how he was doing! I will definitely recommend her to take care of your Fur baby. Thank you so much 😊 i will gladly give her 1000 star ⭐️ review”
“Jackie watched our two french bulldogs and took wonderful care of them. We received updates daily, and they had a blast. She is reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely be using Jackie for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Taylor is truly a gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. Her home and yard are not only clean and welcoming but also perfectly set up to be dog-friendly and safe—Diamond and Tiny felt right at home. She kept me updated with frequent communication, sending the sweetest videos and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Seeing my furbabies relaxed, playful, and happy in her care really meant the world to me. I could tell they enjoyed being with her—and that’s all the reassurance I needed. I didn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pups like family, I can’t recommend Taylor enough! —Litisha”

Roger C.Star Sitter
“Roger trained my stubborn Aussie and a couple years later he came back to help with our new puppy Luna. He does boarding for us now when I'm on work travel and the dogs just love him! That is saying a lot because Criss doesn't like anyone however just hearing about Roger coming to get him gets him so excited. Everything has always gone so well with him and both dogs and he helped us understand so much about why they do certain stuff. We recommend him in the neighborhood and have always heard good feedback.”
