1. Samantha W.
“Highly recommend booking a stay with Samantha and her husband. Right away they were very welcoming and all my nerves of leaving my dog were at ease. She makes sure to send multiple pictures each day and provided updates on how Charlie was doing each day and night as well as the activities they did! Will definitely book Charlie another stay with Samantha when I need to leave town again!!”
2. Sherilynn G.
“Sheri was amazing! She kept me updated on my dog the entire time! She asked what kind of treats my dog liked and kept her feeling safe during the 4th of July weekend! I highly recommend Sheri and her family to watch over your 4 legged children!”
3. Scott S.
“Our yellow lab (who has lots of energy and is very social) seems to have thoroughly enjoyed her time with Scott while we were out of town. We appreciated receiving regular photos of her having a good time playing with other dogs. We'd be happy to use Scott again.”
4. Patricia ..
“Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!”
5. Lara & Cary J.
“Niko was very well cared for while staying with Lara and Cary. We received updates with pictures daily. They were very accommodating. We would definitely use them again:)”
6. Brianna R.
“Couldn't ask for a better house to leave my girl at. She had a blast with Juno (the house pup) and the constant updates gave us peace of mind. Thank you Brianna. We will definitely leave our girl with you any time we need to.”
7. Candace D.
“Candace and her husband took great care of our Layla! She kept us updated with pics and it sounded like their dog got along great with ours❤️ We knew she was in great hands all weekend!”
8. Ajit & Sabera T.
“We were very happy with Stella’s stay at Ajit&Sabera’s. They have a very nice fenced in yard and were accommodating to any request. We received pictures during the stay that helped reduce our anxiety and gave us frequent updates on how things were going. They have 2 dogs that our dog loved playing with. They provide a home like atmosphere and we will certainly use them again. Highly recommend.”
9. Jeffrey & Nicole K.
“Jeffrey and Nicole are awesome!! I felt so good leaving my dog with them. They were very prepared with crates and toys, and I love their huge fenced in back yard. They sent so many pictures and videos, which I absolutely love to receive when I'm away from my dog. Would definitely book again :)”
10. Ben J.
“Ben did a great job taking care of Bella and would send daily pics of her. Bella was very happy at Ben’s. Ben was also very flexible with the drop off and pick up times which was very appreciated.”
11. Samantha D.
“Samantha is the most AMAZING human. We are so lucky to have gotten on her schedule! Our dogs were comfortable, and happy their entire stay. Samantha went above, and beyond to make sure they had the best time. We got all the photos, and videos to provide us with relief that our babies were doing great. I will recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much for all you did for our babies, we are forever grateful!”
12. Cliff C.
“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!”
13. Justin Z.
“Justin was so great with Bo! He sent us so many pictures and was able to accommodate to Bo’s sensitive stomach!! Will definitely be rebooking!”
14. Lucinda W.
“Lucinda was able to watch our Nova girl last minute and welcomed her into her home as one of her own. Nova was very comfortable and enjoyed her stay.”
15. Elyssa A.
“Elyssa was AMAZING. It was my first time dropping off my doggo with her and she had the best time! My pup has some activity level needs and Elyssa was attentive to monitor those. The pictures and videos of all the fun were so helpful, Millie was absolutely spoiled with all the attention! 10/10 recommend!”
16. Jessica S.
“Jessica and Scott were so great to our little Sadie.. I so appreciated their patience and kindness to her as she can be a little stinker. I would highly recommend them to friends and family…”
17. Jessica T.
“If I could give Jessica 10 stars, I absolutely would! She was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Jessica made both Cleo and our entire family feel at ease. We had never left Cleo with anyone before, but from the photos, it was clear she felt right at home. We received daily updates, pictures, and walks, which reassured us that Cleo was in great hands. So grateful for Jessica and her husband!”
18. stefanie s.
“Stefanie and her fur babies took great care of Wilbur while making him feel comfy and loved. He was calm and happy after the experience, as was I. I trust that Wilbur is in good hands with her.”
19. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was more than we ever expected. She and her family treated our Suzi like one of their own. Sending pics a couple times a day made us feel so good to know we made the right decision. Suzi has found her home away from home! ❤️”
20. Jessica V.
“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!”
