1. Matt M.

“My dog loves going over Matt’s house. His ears perk up and he leaps out of my car with such excitement and that’s important to me. I travel for work and leaving my dog with someone kind is so important to me. You are here looking for a sitter - I say, look no further. He will love your dog and treat your pet as his own.”


2. Michelle T.

“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”


3. Dorothy M.

“Dorothy and Vernon took great care of our 6-month old puppy! We were out of town all afternoon/evening and they sent pics and videos of Willow having a great time in the yard and playing with toys inside. Would not hesitate to ask them to take care of Willow again.”


4. Raye J.

“Our pups had an awesome vacation with Raye. She sent so many videos and pictures and they looked so happy and exhausted in every one. They got plenty of outdoor time, walks and love while we were away!”


5. Donetta N.

“Louis was extremely well looked after and totally happy while in Donetta's care. He is looking forward to returning. He and I both totally recommend her!”


6. Amy M.


“KC had an amazing stay! Amy provided a ton of photos and videos which was very appreciated. Amy was quick to respond. KC can’t wait to come back.”


7. Cindy S.

“Cindy was super responsive and treated my dog like family! He had a great time with her and I felt comfortable and confident during his stay with Cindy!”


8. Nicole B.

“Nicole was fantastic. She kept me updated on what was going on and was great with my dog — and her dog, Tank, was a very patient and friendly host! I’d absolutely work with her again.”


9. Emily B.

“So happy I found Emily and every bit worth her 5 star rating! I don't know who appreciated her more, my dog or me. She kept me informed every day with pictures and updates on how my dog was doing. She is super friendly and genuinely loves dogs. Can't say enough about how terrific she is.”




10. Tiffany B.


“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”


11. Sarah F.

“Sarah did a great job of caring for our 15-year-old miniature poodle over 6 days. As we entered her home, she helped him feel calm by closing away other pets she was caring for until he had a chance to explore her house on his own. Once he felt comfortable, he met and adjusted to the other pets. She also gave him his daily medicine and sent pictures of him resting comfortably (he sleeps alot!) or being alongside the other pets throughout his stay. It was a relief to know he was well cared for while we were away. I will definitely book with Sarah again the next time we need a pet sitter!”




12. Hilary R.


“Dina thoroughly enjoyed her time with Hilary! So much so that she made herself right at home almost immediately. Hilary was very accommodating to my travel itinerary and kept me posted on how Dina was doing during her entire stay. Dina definitely wants me to check Hilary's availability first before I go on my next trip.”


13. Jeffrey H.

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”


14. Julie W.


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”




15. Amanda E.

“I felt very good about leaving my dog with Amanda. I was gone almost a whole week but because of all the pictures and texts it didn’t seem that long. Amanda will definitely be my go to sitter the next time I need one.”


16. Blythe R.

“Blythe was excellent!! My pup likes to be the only dog in the home, so Blythe gave him all the love and attention he needs. They went on lots of walks and had lots of play time. She sent me lots of updates and pics throughout his 6 day stay. Great with communication and flexible to accommodate needs (I use a FI GPS collar because my pup is an escape artist). I definitely recommend her and will be booking her again for sure!”


17. Alexandra O.

“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”


18. Katharine S.

“Katie was awesome with our dog Leo! He was really happy when he got there and she sent updates while we were out of town. She has the sweetest dog Louie who also seemed to enjoy the company. Will definitely use her again!”


19. Jasmine L.

“I’m so happy about my pup’s experience with Jasmine and her crew. My pup tends towards shyness anyway, and she had a recent dog park incident that has made it worse, besides the fact we’ve been on a 3mo road. trip, so she’s extra nervous and out of sorts Jasmine and Eclipse really helped both she and I feel safe enough to part ways. Jasmine updated me, sent pictures, and was very generous with pick up drop off and flexibility around my schedule. When I picked Tupelo up, she was in a really good mood, and seemed to have made friends with Jasmine, as well. Most importantly, I really felt safe with Jasmine. She has great energy that is very soothing to this nervous dog parent”


20. Amy M.

“Amy was awesome to work with! Great communication, nice setup at her house and most importantly Ginny was very happy with her stay! We will definitely use her again!”
