1. Lauren R.
“Lauren was really sweet and took great care of Max. She sent photos and videos and kept us well-updated. We will definitely use her again!”
2. Renana M.
“Renana is a kind, thoughtful, and fantastic. We left our “sensitive” jack russell, Barry, with her for the first time for one week. She is absolutely lovely with all the animals, and took very good care of our sweet Barry. We are very particular about who we leave Barry with since he is a rescue and has been through some trauma. I would never hesitate to leave him with Renana again. She was very attentive about reporting in and sending pictures of Barry. We give her five stars. ????? Thank you so much Renana for taking such good care of Barry. See you again soon. :-)”

From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”

“My 2 babies stayed with Kelcie for a week and were very much loved and taken care of. With daily checkins from Kelcie I was very relaxed and worry free on our vacation far from home. Kelcie has an obvious love for all animals. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you Kelcie!”
11. Melisa M.
“Melissa was great with our Elderly Zoey dog! Her fenced in yard gave and her past experience as a vet tech gave us peace of mind while we were away for 7 days.

13. Julius G.
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
14. Ariel T.
“A perfect dog vacation. Ariel was a great host for our last-minute booking. Great communication and organization. Kept us up-to-date with our dog’s stay with daily pictures and brief summaries. Really set our minds at ease knowing he was in a loving home. A definite repeat in the future! Thanks!”
15. Sara G.
“I can't say enough good things about Sara. She is incredibly responsible and has always made me feel very assured leaving my little Luna with her. She is Luna's #1 choice! Sara is very affectionate which I really appreciate given Luna's debilitating condition so I never feel too bad about going away for long periods of time. One other great thing I'd like to point out is her willingness to be available. I've had moments where I need a last minute sitter or for her to do an odd favor for Luna while I am away. Her reliability is something I value and why I refer her to everyone I know.”
16. Carla R.
“Carla came through last minute and took great care of Max!”
17. Joe B.

19. Britanny B.
“Brit took care of our Timothy for 3 weeks while we were overseas. She Facetime with us showing my dogs and her dog playing and goofing around in their comfortable home. We were so happy and pleased with her care. She updated us at all times which made me at ease leaving Timothy. When we went to her house, I felt comfortable leaving Timothy there because the environment is dog friendly and with her loving family of 2 boys that loves their Dog Inara so much and her wonderful husband Tim. Brit is the best. I'm so thankful to her and we did have a wonderful vacation knowing that our Timothy was in good hands.”

She is a an amazing pet parent, volunteers with animal rescue organizations and fosters dogs until their find their forever homes.
