Ben was wonderful with Wrigley! He sent us pictures every day so we could see how content Wrigley was. We hope Ben can take care of Wrigley every time we leave town.

Kelly was great to coordinate with, and I felt confident I was leaving Decker in great hands! He came home happy after a weekend of play with Ziggy and great care. Would absolutely rebook with them.

Lucas and his girlfriend took great care of our little dog Jake while we were out of the country for a week. He had a great time and I could tell he enjoyed his stay and was very comfortable with them. Their home and space is very clean and they are very kind and accommodating. Jake is a senior chihuahua with a big personality and a couple of behavioral quirks and they handled this with understanding and patience. I would definitely recommend their services and would happily have Jake stay with them again!! :)

I have left my dog with Jilli-Ann on numerous occasions. My girl would come home happy and tired! Sometimes I think she would have preferred to stay with Jill-Ann than come home haha. She is great at communicating and keeps you updated on your baby. Highly recommended.

Julia was great to work with! I got pictures or video every day. My dog (pomeranian) did very well with her two dogs and cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her because I had some small changes while I was away and she was accommodating every step - I needed that flexibility when I was away. Thanks Julia!

I cannot be thankful enough for Lily. She takes care of my puppy Ellie with lots of love and kindness. She has been very thorough on her care and walks I actually left Ellie with her today and Ellie was extremely happy to see her, jumping around in celebration. She has also taken care of her while having an eye infection and administering her antibiotics. Lily's location makes having her as a sitter very convenient. Additionally, she is a very kind person to person aside from her love for dogs. I offer my highest recommendation for Lily, anyone would be very lucky to have her as a dog sitter!

Teddy seemed to be well looked after. With 4 guys in the house, he never lacked attention. I would not hesitate to have Teddy looked after by Muhammad.

Many thanks to Emily for watching my gal Bootie! She was professional, reassuring and had a great disposition with Bootie. She provided lots of pictures and I could tell Bootie was having a ball of a time. Highly recommend Emily!

Trent spoiled my dog with lots of exercise - he came home pooped after spending the night! He sent lots of photos during Yogi’s stay. I’d highly recommend Trent, and I’ll be using him again for sure!

Megan M has a deep love and appreciation for any and all dogs that come into her life. She brings a genuine mix of care for the animals and understanding of them that give animals a sense of security unlike I've seen in any other person. As well as demonstrating a long standing love for her own dog, she also often cares for my own two dogs. One of my dogs, Rosemary, is extremely wary of newcomers because she is a rescue and has some mild behavioral quirks. She generally takes many weeks, if not months, to become accustomed to new people, and sometimes even longer for her to show any affection to them. On the second meeting that Meg had with Rosemary, Rosemary let Meg pet her and even gave her a little smooch. I was floored that my rescue was able to feel so comfortable around her so soon, but I learned that this is not an isolated incident, and dogs do generally feel quite reassured by her presence. If I was thinking of someone to look after my dogs (who honestly both need a decent amount of care and have some specific routines that need to be followed) I would think of no one else but Meg. Her understanding of dogs, trustworthiness and maturity, as well as her brilliant personality is clearly understood by humans and animals alike. I think that dogs can sense that she absolutely loves them and returns the feelings onto her. She can look after my pets any day no questions asked.
