I have been using Red Dog right at three years now and they are a God sent. They have truly saved us in last minute situations in taking the absolute best care of our cats (we have three very spoiled cats). At the very start, I met with Karl (one of the owners) who met with our cats to understand their habitat and basically to make sure we were a good fit with them and they with us. Like I said previously, they have helped us in and out of last minute situations. As a cancer patient, I would be checked into hospitals and facilities sometimes out of town and at the very last minute. Having a working relationship with Red Dog has really helped facilitate taking care of our babies if they needed access to the house (they already had a key) or if the babies ran out of food during the unexpected stay and they purchased food till we could get home with a reimbursement. Needless to say, we can sleep a whole lot better at night when we are out of town and get those pictures of our babies at the end of the day that our sitter has sent to us via email or text. Pictures not only of the cats but also any packages that may have come, mail, a clean food area and litter area, not to mention attention given to the babies during the visit including playtime. Red Dog Sitting Services are absolutely the BEST sitting services that we have ever had and have had no problem recommending them to all of our pet lovers in a heartbeat. read more

I cannot even describe how wonderful the dog sitters at Red Dog sitting are! We first contacted Red Dog to care for our 3 older dogs because boarding them was too stressful. Our dogs needed medication multiple times each day and they were just more comfortable in their own home. We knew from the first time we met Cydney and Kayla that we could trust our babies with them. We were thrilled by how much all 3 dogs loved each of the dog sitters who came to take care of them. We could see they were well cared for in the many pictures sent to me after each visit. It was so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about our elderly dogs at home. Now we have a puppy who we do not want to leave in his crate all day while we are at work. So we have the best dog sitter in the world come visit him, take him out to potty and a short walk each day. I honestly think Kayla is our puppy's favorite person. And if Kayla can't visit him one day, Red Dog sitting arranges for another awesome sitter to come visit without me even having to worry about making arrangements. I am so grateful to Red Dog Sitting! read more

We love RedDog. Our 60 lb pound puppy didn't always play nicely with other dogs his size, so when we boarded him, we always had to request play time was with the little dogs. Sometimes these requests were honored, & sometimes they weren't, and he was grounded and denied play time. With RedDog, and less cost, we know Cosby is happy, and comfortable. We have an electric fence, so he gets to spend the day chasing squirrels and barking at cars, but he still looks forward to his walk, cuddles and dinner when the sitter arrives to bring him, our mail, and any packages inside. We love the pictures she sends us of a happy dog and the text messages about their time together. The sitter turns on random lamps and such, so our home doesn't appear so 'They aren't home' and Cosby gets dinner and pettting. The sitter comes back in the AM to offer breakfast, more snuggles and ball throwing before letting Cosby out for yard patrol. With a child playing travel soccer, out of town games pop up with little notice, and it's nice to be able to count on RedDog. read more

We've been using RedDog for about 4 years now. We use them weekly for dog walking and also to look after our cats and goldfish when we are out of town. One cat requires medications daily. They don't charge any extra for giving meds, it's included in the visit. When our cat has hidden (she hates taking her meds) we've asked them to flip mattresses over, run the vacuum, really whatever to get the cat out from under the bed so she can get her meds. Once they couldn't find her and came back later that day to give her meds. They only charged me for one visit. The owners Karl and Cydney are always so nice and responsive to my requests. They send out the same people so you and your pets can get used to them. Our dog walker Cynthia is the absolute sweetest and even our neighbor commented on how nice she was and how sweet she treats our dog Bella. I know other people who use them and I've only heard great things from them as well. I'm so glad I found RedDog! read more

My husband and I have used Red Dog Sitting for several years now and we consider them part of our family. We have four dogs, three are seniors that often have health issues. We know we can rely on them to administer medications, manage any behavioral issues we may be having, and shower them with affection. We are able to communicate with them easily and they provide frequent updates during their visits which allows us to feel relaxed while we are traveling. Also, they get some of the cutest pictures of our little ones and that has been an unexpected delight! Not only do we trust Red Dog to look after our fur babies, we trust them with our home as well. Each time we travel we know they will go above and beyond. You know your dogs have been well taken care of when you arrive home from your trip and they barely notice! We truly appreciate all that they have done for our family over the years and can recommend them without hesitation! read more

When we added 2 bulldog puppies to our family, we decided to hire a sitting service to let them out with our other dogs at lunchtime while we were at work. Eventually, we also had to ask for an overnight stay or two. After more than 5 years, we still use RedDog for our 4 English Bulldogs and 3 French Bulldogs. Our sitters have always come at the time we expect, given our babies great care and love, texted cute photos to us from the visit, and been extremely trustworthy. A few years ago when we went on an Alaskan cruise, we were gone for over a week and a bit anxious about leaving our dogs. RedDog came in the middle of every day and again at dinnertime for the overnight stays. One of our dogs had a health issue, and our sitter even went by our vet's office to pick up a prescription. Now that's service! Our dogs are our "children", and RedDog is like family! read more

After a very negative experience with a former dog walker (stole over $2k with four theft charges), I was hesitant to allow another person into my home. RedDog Sitting is a local family owned bonded/insured company and from the first meeting have been nothing but professional and courteous. The same sitters walk your dog and if anyone new is added to the circuit RedDog notifies you immediately, orients them to your dog and their routine, and allows you to meet them in person. The sitters are wonderful and provide daily updates with texts and photos from the walk and truly love your dog as their own. RedDog is additionally very flexible and accommodates last minute changes to your schedule. RedDog comes highly recommended and I trust them in my home, which is a small miracle given our prior history! read more

We use RedDog Sitting Services for our two bloodhounds. The dog sitters are very professional and take really good care of my babies while I am at work during the day. When I first called RedDog regarding getting someone to come sit with my dogs they were very attentive to my pet care needs and did an amazing job of pairing sitters that fit my dogs personalities. Believe me caring for two young bloodhounds at one time is very challenging, but they have met the challenge and have amazed me every day with how wonderful they are with my babies. I receive daily pictures showing me the days activities and I am always pleased with how happy and comfortable my babies look with the sitters. This is truly a great service with people who love and care for the well being of your pet. read more

We love RedDog and have completely trusted them for over 5 years with our pets in our home. We do not board our pets at the vet kennel any more. Instead, I email reddogsitting@gmail.com. The service they provide is exactly what we need and is provided at a great value compared to other options. And best of all, when we come home from trips, our dogs and cats aren't stressed out and sick from being locked away at the vet. The owners are professional and respond timely to my questions, and they make payment quick and simple. The sitters that come to our house are so loving and kind. I'm pretty sure that my one old Labrador would go home with Debbie. He LOVES her. read more

Karl and Cydney Buchholz at Red Dog Sitting have taken care of our pets since 2013. We have peace of mind because we know our dearly loved pets are safe and content at home, getting excellent care, love, and attention. The sitters are great, sending text updates with pictures for each visit. Karl and Cydney met personally with us before the first visit, getting to know us, our pets, and our expectations. Cydney schedules visits in a professional manner, taking note of special requests. On the rare occasions we need to communicate directly while traveling, a simple email gets a quick response. We highly recommend their services with no reservations. read more

I adore Reddog!!! We travel in spurts and when we do they take care of our Golden Retriever mix. She is very clingy and it's hard to leave her, but knowing she is in such good hands helps so much!! We have Reddog visit her twice a day and they will walk her, play with her, snuggle with her (anything we need) and we always get pictures and an update on her activities every single time they visit her. It's very reassuring and the best part is that Toffee is so well loved by her caretakers - Nikki, Kayla and Erin - which is awesome too! They are a great group of folks and I highly, highly recommend them (and I have a high standard for customer service). :) read more

Love Red Dog! The only company we have ever used to care for our kitties while on vacay. Highly recommend! We have complicated kit kats that need Pills and insulin shots. They don't charge any extra for "complicated" care. Red Dog has always taken great care of our babies and send great updates so you know what is going on while you are away. Have used them for at least 6 years. Karl and Cydney- the owners - are the best. So much so that after having them take care of my babies I worked for them for almost 4 years as a sitter. Top notch! If you need care for your fur babies while out of town contact them. read more

Five stars is not enough for Red Dog Pet Sitting Services. I am very nervous about leaving my pets for even an overnight trip. I called Red Dog and spoke to Cydney. It only took a few minutes to know that I wanted her company to care for my dogs and cats. They deliver even more than they promise. The kids got visits, treats, love, and photo messages to their nervous parents. When we returned home, no one ignored us or was mad at us. They acted liked they never noticed we were gone. They just missed their sitter! Great people, great service, extremely trustworthy. Twelve stars would be more appropriate. read more

My husband and I have used this company for almost a year for our lab and we are very very happy with the service. They are flexible, excellent at communicating with you, and calling/texting you back. They will let you know if there is anything wrong with your pet, take packages inside, and have never once cancelled on us or missed a dog walking. Karl takes his company very serious and if you need anything when your primary pet sitter is busy, there are always several back ups. This company is incredibly reliable. read more

Karl has done a great job running red dog pet sitting. We have been using them four to five days per week for the last year. They are extremely dependable- no missed visits ever and are always reaching out to us about our needs for our dog so that they can make sure to give her the attention she needs when we are at work. There pricing is reasonable and the service is excellent. I highly recommend them for dog walking services. read more

We used RedDog Sitting to take care of our fur babies during the workday and several times when we went out of town. We knew they were in great hands! Our sitters were fantastic about sending us texts, emails, and photos documenting their visits, and our pets loved the extra attention when we couldn't be around. We highly recommend them for your pet-sitting needs! read more

We have been clients of RedDog Sitting for 7 years and have been unusually pleased with their services for our cats when we are away from home.
