Iso seemed to have the best time. He was always so happy and engaged in all the update pictures Lawrencia sent! He came home all freshly bathed and looking handsome. Will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10 experience.

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.

Debra was amazing with my 2 rambunctious fur babies! I've never used a sitter that I didn't know before and was a little nervous but she made me feel much more comfortable at the meet and greet. She took excellent care of them and sent lots of updates throughout the week. My silly 6 month old pup managed to scratch her face on her crate and Debra noticed immediately when it wasn't healing right and spent half a night at the emergency veterinary practice I work at in order for her to get some antibiotics and a cone. Even the veterinarian I work with made a comment to me as to how great of care she took of my pup!

Megan made sure my puppy was extremely comfortable and I was at ease when I unexpectedly traveled with him last minute. He very tired from all the playtime when I picked him up both days, and excited to go back the second day which was great to see. Thank you!

I'm so glad we found Sally! She took great care of our pit bull Henry. She made accommodations for him, sent us daily updates, sent pictures every day, and even some videos. I could tell Henry was enjoying himself, I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home! She truly cares for him!

Definitely recommending Sean if you are looking for somewhere to board your dog. Sean has a huge yard for the dogs to run around and play in and gives them the best attention. I had Kona stay overnight and she had a blast. Will be bringing Kona back for sure.

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.
