1. Michelle T.

“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”


2. Amy M.


“Amy and her family are amazing. My dogs love them so much and I won’t trust anyone else to watch them! She is thorough, engaged, and updates several times a day. Can’t say enough good things!”


3. Matt M.

“I can’t say thank Matt enough! He is an amazing host. As a new dog dad after more than 20 yrs, I was a little panicked trying to figure out who to trust with my rescue pup for the night. After a simple Google search, I came across Matt’s profile. Read the reviews, the number of repeat stays and decided to download this app. Matt arranged a meet and greet. He put me at ease right away and Sawyer enjoyed the brief meeting. Booking was simple. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Sawyer had a great say and I couldn’t be happier! I’d recommend Matt to friends and family without hesitation.”


4. Julie W.


“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.”




5. Cyndi M.


“Pepper enjoys returning to Cyndi’s home! Dog friendly, accommodating, lovely back yard and walking spaces. Squirrels to watch, too. She is very attentive and lets him out for early morning potty needs.”


6. Danielle K.

“Highly recommend!! Danielle and her fiancé were awesome! They watched my dog for 3 nights and sent lots of pictures and communication while I was gone. It was clear Eli felt right at home with them and enjoyed his time with them and their dogs! I will definitely be using them again in the future!”


7. Jeffrey H.

“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


8. Emily P.

“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”




9. Amanda E.

“Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my dog for a week. I have a small dog that recently went blind and Amanda was very well versed in taking care of older dogs and dogs with disabilities. Her house is well set up for taking care of older/disabled dogs and communications with her were always instant. Amanda is also an incredibly nice and personable person in general. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.”


10. Jesse D.

“Jesse is absolutely amazing! Helped out last minute when another sitter cancelled, took great care of my dog, sent pictures, and was very responsive. Highly recommended!”


11. Alexandra O.

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”




12. Hilary R.


“Hilary did great with my girl Hope! Hope is a high maintenance doggo but she was comfortable with Hilary for the duration of her four night stay. I will definitely be booking with Hilary again in the future!”

16. Sheri J.

“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”


17. Vicki T.
“Vicki was great with Indi (who is a tripod with a high maintenance diet and on meds), and she sent lots of picture updates throughout the weekend, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about my pup. Indi seemed to have a great time with both Vicki and her dog George, and I would definitely use her again!”




18. 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.”




19. DAMACIA J.

“She was great! I left my pup with her for two weeks and she sent me updates of him daily. She even bathed him 3 times and I was happy that he also had other dogs to play with and kept him busy. I definitely recommend her and will be coming back for my future trips 😁”
