“As dog parents for the first time, we didn't know what to except leaving Curie for a week! Rachel took care of everything. She always kept us updated and sent an occasional pic when we missed her. Surprisingly Curie came back calmer, more obedient, with less biting habit. I'll surely recommend her service. Thanks Rachel.”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter and Sarah was fantastic with our dog. She was very well taken care of while we were on vacation. We will definitely be booking with Sarah again.”

“Aimee is a fantastic dog sitter and all around great person. Gumbo had a great time playing with Aimee’s dog. The set-up at Aimee’s house is great too. The living room has multiple couches that the dogs are welcome to lounge on and lots of fenced in play areas in the huge yard. She was wonderful about sending pictures of Gumbo and updates. I will definitely book with Aimee again!”

“I was so worried leaving my baby with someone new, but Rebecca made my dog’s stay very enjoyable for both of us! Juno had so much fun playing with Monkey in her big backyard and seemed to really feel at home with Rebecca. Rebecca was very responsive to my check-ins and sent me multiple pictures and videos everyday. I know Juno can’t wait to go back!”

“OMG! Brittany solves our problems! She is the best. My dog now has a second home. I have a terminally ill husband and I need responsible and competent people on our team. Brittany has happily done everything that I have ever requested. She has modified our sitter schedule multiple times, she brushes Pippin’s teeth and she even works with Pippin’s obedience training. We cannot thank Brittany enough!”

“They did a great job caring for Rosemary!! I got updates every day, and Rosie seemed like a happy and healthy girl when she came back home. We have already booked again for another weekend!”


“Barrie is such a dog lover - we felt so comfortable having Porter stay with her. We could tell he was in excellent hands the moment we met her. Her home is ideal for doggos to run and play. She kept us updated with photos of our Porter.”

“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”

“He took such great care of my little pup! When I picked up my dog after his first 4 day stay with Doug, he was happy and settled (he is a sensitive dog! So I know if hasn’t been well with someone). I’m so grateful, Doug was wonderful!”

“Libby had a clean home, spacious space for Grey to stay & updated us with text & pics. She has a fenced in yard on the side & fenced in deck for the pups to play/relax safely. Grey was well taken care of & if we are in the area again we would rebook.”


“Jennifer was awesome. She kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was well taken care of and was exactly how she was when I dropped her off... Happy healthy, and clean. I would definitely recommend Jennifer and look forward to using her again.”

“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”

“Cody watched our dog for a pretty long time while we were away. He made our pup feel right at home the entire time as we could tell from all the consistent updates and pictures! He got plenty of walks, playtime, and some lazy time on the couch of course! Cody was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were so glad to have a sitter we could depend on while traveling. Cody is the best!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”

“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”

“Shelby is awesome. She took great care of our baby and even let us extend our booking another day when we found out our hotel check out wasnt until the following day. She sent us many updates, and even took Riley on play dates with other doggos. I would definitely reccomend Shelby to anyone that needs a pet sitter! We hope she will be able to baby sit Riley again in June. ? Thanks so much Shelby!”
