“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of.

Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

Donetta provided great care and daily communications with photos!. Easy drop-off and pick-up. Recommend and will be using again for sure!”

“Sarah was so kind and patient with my sweet boy! She took great care of him and gave him so much one on one attention. He came home so tired and happy! I’ll definitely use her next time I go out of town, and might even book for days where I know I’ll be working late! Everything was so easy and she was truly the most kind and accommodating person.”

“Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into.

“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”

“Second time using Miguel’s services it won’t be the last, it is clear my two pups feel very comfortable around him and his family - the communication while they are with him is top tier, and as someone who last minute changes timeframes for pick up and drop off he is very flexible which I appreciate. I will certainly be using his services again, Thank you Míguel!”


“Cyndi was absolutely wonderful with my dog Sweet Potato. She sent pictures and videos while I was gone, which made me so happy she was being well cared for. This was the longest I have ever left my dog and I felt no fear knowing my dog was in such great hands. She treated my dog as if it were her own and I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a reliable and caring sitter.”


“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”

My dog’s stay with Taylor and her husband was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that showed my girl was really comfortable and cared for, and they were really flexible about pickup/drop off needs. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Myrna was so incredible with my Daisy girl. She got so much attention, play time, and walks — it was clear from every photo she was having a blast! Myrna even went above and beyond when Daisy’s ears started bothering her and kept me updated every step of the way. Will absolutely be a repeat client!

Zahra was fantastic in every way! Awesome communication. My anxious pup was so well cared for every day that I was gone, and she was able to accommodate me on short notice after my other sitter ghosted me right before the holidays. I will absolutely hire her again and can't recommend her enough! Your furry friends are in great hands with her -- she truly treats them as her own -- and I am deeply appreciative of the care she gave Lacey. Would give six stars if I could!

Kristin was so amazing and I couldn't recommend her more! She took care of my 10 year old Shiba Inu this weekend, and was so communicative, easy going and kept me updated through the weekend. My pup came home happy and I know that she enjoyed her weekend with Kristin and her sweet Boston Terrier, Finn! I look forward to leaving Gigi with Kristin again in the future, knowing that my beloved dog is well taken care of.
