“Bruce was wonderful! He took great care of our dog, Sassy, while my husband and I were away for a long weekend. He sent updates and pictures throughout the day. I was worried because it was the first time Sassy would be staying with a stranger since we rescued her, but Bruce made her feel comfortable throughout her stay. He also did a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet him before staying there. Would highly recommend Bruce and will plan to use him in the future if/when we travel again.”
“I just want to start off by saying, never judge anyone’s profile just because they haven’t gotten the opportunity to sit more dogs than others. Gaileen and her family were absolutely amazing. From the first meeting they were nice, understanding , and very welcoming. My Klee Kai Xura felt so happy and safe. Every single step of the way Gaileen sent me photos, daily updates on xura status and behavior and performed her duties as a sitter. I just want to thank them so much for their hospitality and I will definitely book them again soon”
“Highly recommended! Howard and Kathleen were really nice, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. They sent pictures and updates - our dog was obviously comfortable and content :)”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“Absolute best choice we could have made for my baby boy Banana. It was his first time away from home and he lived her family. She kept in contact so well. A million thank yous to her and her some Jame. I will bring him back to visit I promis.”
“Malik is a great Petsitter. I was worried about leaving my senior dog with him, but he offered a meet and greet and they were a match! Malik took good care of him, sent updates and was patient. I would definitely rebook!”

“Katherine took such amazing care of Leah. She was communicative, caring, accommodating, and just the sweetest. I would leave our pup with her again without hesitation.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Smart, kind, and attentive. Claudia and Steven are wonderful people and our pup Luna enjoyed two great stays with them. They shared updates and photos on a regular basis which is so appreciated.”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”

“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”

Absolutely amazing! We were traveling through the area, and needed somewhere for our girls to stay. Diana had awesome communication, was so sweet to our pups, and made us feel very calm! So thankful we had them stay and if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll use again!
Sandra is a wonderful pet sitter who treated our dog like she was part of the family. Our usually nervous pup was so excited as soon as we pulled up to her house. Indiana and Sandra’s son get along so well. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, too. I highly recommend Sandra and already booked another stay!
Zuleima was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and responsive whenever I had a question. I also appreciate that she was sensitive to Maya's quirks , ie., her shyness and worked with that very effectively! I felt confident leaving Maya, knowing that she was in very good hands! Will definitely use again!
This was our third time boarding our anxious little dog with Mikayla and Justin and there’s a reason for that—they are excellent dog sitters. They send detailed updates with photo and video evidence of what a great time our dog has with them and how much she loves staying with them. It’s so great to have peace of mind that our dog is being so well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend booking with them! We will again!
Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter
We’re so grateful for everything Allie did for our pup Emmy over the long weekend. Emmy got lots of love so I didn’t feel any of the usual guilt leaving her behind when I went out of town! Allie was responsible, communicative, easygoing- I could not ask for a better dogsitting experience.
