“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”


“Absolutely LOVE Tobi. Ceba is "dead" after each visit after playing with Tobi's own two plus any other visitors. The fact that Tobi takes only small dogs is a huge plus for us, as Ceba is only 9 pounds, and won't play with bigger dogs (we also have a 19# cat so she's a little intimidated automatically :) ) but loves to frolic with others her size. We will continue to use Tobi as we travel each time. Thank you!!! Happy New Year!”


“Brent did a great job watching our puppy Marco! We appreciated the picture and text updates throughout his stay. Thanks for bringing our Marco into your pack!”


“Heather did such an amazing job watching my dog. I was fostering a dog who I honestly didn’t know too much about but was getting away for the weekend, and she messaged me multiple times throughout the day, reassuring me everything was going smoothly. She was super kind, and seemed to understand my scared little foster pup super well. I would highly recommend Heather!!!”


“Jena treated Duke like he was her own. She sent daily updates with pictures, took him on plenty of walks, and made sure he felt right at home. I could tell Duke was truly happy and felt like part of the family during his stay. I will be using Jena again!”


“Alyssa took good care of our Kona while we were away. Very responsive, good communication, flexible and loved the daily pictures. We will definitely use her again.”


“Kana and Brian treated Phoebe just like family. She had a fantastic time in their big backyard and she came home a very content pup. I'd use Kana again the next time I need to head out of town!”



“Amy was extremely flexible and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs seemed to have had a great time. We definitely plan to use Amy again. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”


“I loved the care she provided! She was informing me of the activities my dogs did during the day along with pictures, reassuring me they were happy and well!”


“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”


“Sarah was amazing with our Pup! It’s clear that she loves dogs and they love her back. Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”



“A huge thank you to Tracy! Our mini doodle came back home feeling happy and calm, which made all the difference for us. It was such a positive experience! We really appreciate it!”


“Andrea is so caring, attentive, and professional. I can tell she really cares for my pup, and enjoys spending time with him. Highly recommend working with Andrea!”


“Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!”


“Puneet was great! Gave us a little check-in 2 times a day with photos! She was flexible and worked with me when I was a little late dropping off Iris! Very much appreciated that. We will definitely book again in the future! Thank you Puneet 😊”



“My golden, Daisy, had a great two weeks with Sonya. I felt like she really got to know her and make her feel at home. Sonya takes more than one dog, and my sociable girl had pals to play with. We got lots of photos and news during her stay. I appreciated that Sonya was flexible about drop-off and pickup times, and very relaxed and easy to work with. She obviously loves dogs and their different personalities. She will always be my first choice for future stays.”


“Kelly has been fantastic! My pup Toshi has stayed with her a couple of nights and she has been so accommodating! She has sent me photos and updates which definitely puts me at ease. She has a large yard and her cute pup Khloe also keeps my dog company. You could tell she loves animals! I cannot recommend her enough, and I will always try and reach out if I need to book another stay for my pup. Thank you, Kelly!”



“It was Bissli's first time staying with April so naturally we were a little nervous. He's on a strict diet and training and April easily handled it all! We got many funny photos every day, with updates how he's doing. We were all wishing for him to end up snuggling with April's cat but he preferred to sleep on Bissli's crate which was adorable. Maybe we'll get to see some snuggling on our next booking with April!”


“Mary and Hudson are great! They are super flexible and accommodating- I appreciate it so much with getting my dates wrong and having them be flexible with having Millie stay for one more night. I highly recommend!”


“Melinda was lovely and took great care of my dog! She kept me updated and gave me a lot of peace of mind as I don't often leave my dog with new people. 10/10 experience overall! Thank you!”
