1. Jennifer A.
“Jennifer was great and we will certainly use her again. She communicates regularly and really loves our dogs. This is the first time we used an app to find someone to take care of our pups. It will not be the last. If I could give more than five stars, I would!”

“My pup came back happy, well fed, and well exercised. Brianna and her family were wonderfully kind to my pup and sent lots of photos of fun moments with him! A+++”
3. Sunshine L.
“I had a full day of plans which would mean puppy crated all day long—Sunshine to the rescue again! When Milo is at her house I know he’s having fun and getting too-notch care. I love getting photos and seeing him enjoying his time. Thank you again!”
4. Dee S.
“We are so happy we found Dee! Our regular sitter was not available. Dee accommodated us by a meet and greet first, which was very successful. We arranged for our dog to stay with Dee for two nights. She clearly loves dogs, and also knows how to work well with them. We were very pleased with the boarding experience, and we look forward to having our dog in Dee’s care again in the future. Highly recommended.”

10. Tessa S.
“It was our first time boarding Gus overnight with Tessa. We had a worry-free trip knowing Gus was well taken care of by Tessa. I got pictures everyday and he looked happy and content. Tessa kept me updated on his meal intake and meds ( since we had told her that recently his food intake had been a bit erratic.) We feel very comfortable leaving Gus with her.”
