This was my second time ever leaving Tucker somewhere, and Scott did an excellent job making sure he was cared for, played with, and happy! I picked Tucker up after a long day of driving and flying, and he too was absolutely exhausted from all the playing and running around! Highly recommend! Scott also made sure to update me 1-2 times a day which I really appreciated!

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Sam has been our go to sitter for our mini goldendoodle Ruxpin and we wouldn’t leave him with anyone else! She is so kind, loves on all the pups, showers them with attention and our pup loves her so much! Her home is set up to cater to the doggos, giving them lots of inside and outside room to play in a spacious and safe place. Sam is great at keeping the pups active with lots of play time and walks. And we LOVE that we get tons of pics and updates while Ruxpin is hanging out with her. Sam truly sees all the doggos as her family and we love her so much! There is no need to search for another sitter, Sam is the one!

About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule a needed for pet care. I’m available during daytime hours and can provide evening hours as arranged. I have a fenced in back yard. One cat and one YorkiPoo :) I do have 3 children as well that love animals and would provide great companionship.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

My dog had a great time with Amethyst and her huskies! She also shared plenty of photos so I could see how he was doing while I was gone. He got to play so much with her pack that he passed out when he got home. I would definitely recommend her.

Our dog just spent another A+ time with Molly. He's excited to go over to her place, which tells you how well she treats him, and her updates give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacations. Our little guy comes home so happy. We're grateful.

Jennifer was excellent to work with and took wonderful care of our puppy. We left lots of instructions and she was perfect. We also enjoyed seeing photos of our pup during her stay. She was very easy to communicate with and had a flexible schedule. Her house was setup really well for dog care and Lucy had a great time. We will be back again :)

Sam and her family are amazing! Our BoPup loved his time at their home and we so appreciate their hospitality. Sam was so accommodating and thorough with our wants/needs and sent pictures and updates daily. She kept Bo active, fed, and happy while keeping us in the loop. We will definitely use Sam again for dog sitting!

Christy and Erkem kept my 13-yr-old bichapoo Bella for a week and were fabulous. Bella had never been boarded before so was quite anxious, and I expected she wouldn't eat for a few days. Christy and Erkem must have quickly put her at ease since Bella ate as usual. I really appreciated their regular text and video updates and was able to enjoy my time away since I was confident Bella was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Christy and Erkem and will definitely use them again!

Jax has had a great time staying at Evan's. He always comes home happy and exhausted. Jax is a puppy and Evan has been very patient and understanding when Jax has an accident. I plan to use Evan as my go to sitter when I have work commitments. It's nice to have someone you can trust to care for your dog like you would and Evan does that.
