Lawrencia did an amazing job with Ace! She communicated daily and sent videos and pics. I was worried about leaving my pitbull with just anyone but she put my mind at ease! I would recommend anyone to book with her!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For every time (at least 10 times) we’ve used Jessica! She’s been watching our 🐶 for the past year when we are away. We always know Roxy will be in great hands, loved and cared for. Roxy had a birthday during the last visit and Jessica sent us a picture Roxy wearing a Birthday bandanna and had a new toy from Petsmart that she sent her home with 🥰. 100% recommend! (She also takes really great pictures, I wish I could share them with y’all!)

I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.

Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊

You can sense how much Jordan cares about our furry friends. From making sure they are never hungry to making sure they have shade in the sun, she will go the extra mile. My experience with Jordan is she has always treated every other dog as her own and that is felt from everyone involved. Highly recommend!
