Russo's stay with Debra was outstanding in every way. He had an excellent rapport with her (and he's an excellent judge of character:-)). Debra is responsible, professional, and I certainly recommend her whole heartedly.

Cindy is an amazing petsitter, she did an outstanding job with my dog, and keeps me informed (the pictures were so great), because of that, I feel so much more relaxed and able to enjoy my trip since I know that Cindy is caring so well for my dog. Thank you so much, Cindy.

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.

Rachel was an absolutely amazing caretaker when boarding my two dogs during a week long vacation. I can not recommend her enough. She was loving, caring, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Her two dogs are the sweetest and were extremely welcoming of my dogs into their home. Rachel gave plenty of updates and really made me feel safe knowing my dogs were under her care during my trip.

Madelyn and her husband took great care of my dog Boots when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. Through uncertain plans and last minute changes on my side, Madelyn was super flexible and communicative! She sent a ton of cute photos of Boots throughout his stay and it’s clean he was well taken care of and had a blast with her dogs. We would definitely book Madelyn again!

Rachel recently watched my golden retriever puppy, and she was wonderful with her!! She is a true dog mom at heart - attentive, caring and responsible when watching my dog. I can always count on her to be on top of babysitting, even with the chaos that can ensue with a puppy. I would recommend her as a dog caregiver to anyone!

Michele took great care of my fur baby! With frequent pictures and videos, I know that my baby was in good hands. My puppy apparently got extra dirty in her play time, and Michele went the extra mile and gave her a bath before my pick up. Would definitely use her again!

Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.
