Katie was amazing with my Danner! I had an emergency pop up where I had to fly to my home town and Katie was so nice and flexible with me! Danner came home happy and pooped from all the fun he had! Definitely recommend Katie!

Amy is the best! My dog had a wonderful stay- he got lots of cuddles and got to play in her yard. He came back exhausted from all the fun. She sent lots of pictures and was super easy to communicate with.

Mellie absolutely loves the time she spends at Marilyn’s! From running around with the other dogs, to going down the slide in the backyard and playing in the kiddie pool to snuggles with Marilyn’s adorable kiddos, there never seems to be a dull moment and Mellie always comes home happy and utterly exhausted. Marilyn is a joy to communicate with- she is super quick to respond, super attentive to all of Mellie’s allergy and separation anxiety needs, and makes sure to keep me updated with photos and videos, whether Mellie is there just for the day for doggy daycare or for a longer stay. I am so grateful to Marilyn and her family for the love they have shown to me and Mellie and we will definitely continue booking with them in the future!!

Debra is great! During our little guy’s stay, she was very attentive to his needs and took him on several walks a day, which was perfect for him. She is easy to coordinate and communicate with. Received daily pictures of the fun our boy was having!

So glad we found Dina. We have a senior fur baby that we were very concerned with leaving her with someone who may not understand the care for senior dogs. Dina was great! She was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend her. We will be using her again.

Millie has so much fun with Susan and her family! Millie has a lot of anxiety around strangers, so she is not the easiest dog to care for, but Susan does a great job with her and Millie is now way more comfortable with them. Susan is also very attentive to specific diets and medications for dogs. Millie always comes home so tired out from playing with the 3 Goldens and the girls, we can tell she had the best time!

We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring and communicative person to take care of our family dog! Teri consistently provided photos, videos and updates of Luna during her stay and we could tell Luna was having the best time. Truly a home away from home for our pup with separation anxiety. We appreciate you Teri and could not recommend her more!!!

Lesa worked wonders with our shy dog, bringing her out of her shell in a way we never thought possible. The patience and understanding she displayed was truly remarkable. Since then, our dog has been thriving—more confident, playful, and visibly happier. It's evident that Lesa’s genuine connection and efforts have had a lasting, positive impact. We are immensely grateful for the transformation and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and skilled pet sitter.

I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.

Jade is great and professional! Our cat stayed two nights with her and end up missing his playmates (Jade's two cats) when the stay was over (he keeps sniffing the carrier and sleeping in it when we go home lol). Will trust Jade for any future cat sitting!

We don’t trust many people with our dog Toby. However, our first meet & greet with Austin and Wendy was so positive that all our fear and anxiety vanished. It did not take long for Toby to feel right at home with them. Their dogs who were so well behaved in spite of Toby being all over them and their toys. Throughout his stay we kept getting pictures and update on all his activities. We would highly recommend their service.

Alex was great! He sent loads of pictures and was very flexible and understanding when plans changed at short notice. My dog that’s prone to hunger strike even ate his meals, so I know he felt very comfortable there. I would definitely rebook!

Jennifer was an amazing sitter for my pup and made him feel right at home with lots of love, cuddles, and toys. She sent tons of cute pictures and made sure he had a great weekend stay. I will 100% use her again and recommend her highly. Very responsive, caring, and loving towards my pup.

Betsy was magnificent. One of our dogs was very difficult and cried into the late evening. Betsy was great dealing with this dog's emotional problems which I didn't expect. I consulted a dog trainer about this and won't board this dog until her problems are resolved. Other than that the stay during the day was wonderful for our two dogs. Betsy provides pictures and her two little dogs are great playmates for our dogs. Her back yard is expansive and she keeps it flea and tick free.

Hope is an amazing sitter who goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is happy and well cared for. I left my anxious 15 y.o. dog with her this past week and oh my goodness! The extra care and concern and willingness to work with and accommodate Mathilda’s mental and physical needs was amazing. I could not be happier or more grateful - and either can Mathilda! I always knew how my pup was doing, how she was eating, etc, and Hope was an excellent communicator very motivated in resolving issues with anxiety, etc. Hope is a doggy magician - your dog will fall in love!
