“Morgan is wonderful! She came over for a meet-and-greet with our two older dogs a few days before she stayed at our house and they instantly loved her! She sent updates and photos and took great care of them and our home. I would definitely ask her to stay again.”
“Cate was so awesome with Opal. We had lots of updates and photos of all their adventures and cuddles together. We will absolutely be working with her again if we’re lucky!”
“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”
“She is excellent! I highly recommend her for dog sitting. She kept in communication with me throughout the entire dog sitting. She sent me pictures of cuddling with my dogs which I really appreciated. She also took good care of my home while I was gone. She is awesome and I would recommend her to everyone.”
“Sara sat with our older dog Snorkie. She arrived on time and kept me informed throughout the day on how things were going. We felt secure knowing our baby was being cared for. We will definitely use Sara again.”
“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”
“Kat is amazing! She loves Judge like he was her own baby boy. Kat is so sweet, always on time and just all around she is an incredible person and I can go on and on about her, we are so, so thankful we found her. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Kat! You have and are a part of our family 😊🤗♥️”
“Sean took great care of our anxious rescue. She can be a high-strung handful and they got along great! He's a very good communicator and respectful of time and property! Highly recommend.”
“Cameron was an absolute delight! She took wonderful care of my boys and gave great updates! The house was tidy upon my return. She really went the extra mile. I highly recommend Cameron and will definitely be using her again.”

“Kylie was great! She was on time and professional. She cared for our dog like she was her own. She asked all the right questions and sent us updates during the time we were gone!”
“I highly recommend Vana and we look forward to booking again with her soon. ❤️ She did a wonderful job with our dog Bodhi, taking him on walks, sitting with him at home and bringing him to our dog park. She communicated with us clearly, sent text and photo updates throughout the day and had a wonderful meet and greet to get them introduced to each other. Can’t wait to see you again Vana! 🐶”
“Abigail is attentive, warm and friendly. She asked the right questions about Ripley, our 11 year old Shichon, and our home where she will home sit. Ripley is very cautious and over protective. But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!”
