Tracy is the best dog sitter! My dog was given the attention she likes. There were other dogs that my pet met at Tracy’s that she made friends with. She got to play outside and go for walks. It was her dream come true!

Great place to board our dog for a week away. Stacey was super responsive and kept us in the loop the whole time. Definitely hope to have her watch our dog again in the future.

Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.

Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.

Dan and Holly are two of the most caring people around. They took great care of my border collie, Buddy, and assured me that his 2 week stay with them would be a positive experience. I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Buddy become a temporary part of their family during his stay and was afforded all of the attention that he needed. What a fantastic set of canine caregivers Dan and Holly are. My extreme gratitude goes out to them.

Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾

I highly recommend Laura! Her easy-going & friendly demeanor was evident from our first meeting, making my decision to leave Rupert with her for a long weekend a no brainer. I really appreciated the updates & photos she shared throughout Rupert's stay with her. It was apparent when I picked him up, that he had enjoyed his time with Laura & her pup, Diesel. I will absolutely book with Laura again!

We could not have asked for a better experience with Maggie. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Before our stay, she reached out to learn all about our dog, Daisy, asking thoughtful questions to make sure Daisy would feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Throughout Daisy's stay, Maggie was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious that Daisy was being treated with kindness, affection, and individualized attention. What truly set Maggie apart was the warmth and genuine love she showed—not just to Daisy, but to us as well. When we picked Daisy up, Maggie gave us the sweetest card expressing how appreciative and honored she was to care for our pup. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and perfectly reflects the kind of person she is. Maggie was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, making the entire experience stress-free. Daisy absolutely adored her, and we knew she was in wonderful hands. Without a doubt, Maggie is the best dog sitter we've ever had. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the pets in her care. Daisy has found her perfect sitter!
