Gianna is so sweet and calm; I would leave my dog with her anytime. I don't usually leave my dog with other people but I was very comfortable leaving her with Gianna and my dog was very comfortable going with her.

Mary was super great with my puppy / service dog in training. She did lots of activities with her and had lots of space for her to explore and have fun in, she also sent me updates and followed specific instructions for her care. Will definitely be hiring her again! 🩷 🐾

Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???

Juliana was GREAT with my dog Tobey! He was happy and well-cared for. Juliana has great communication, sending pics and updates, answering questions as needed. I hope Tobey gets to hang with her again! She even gave Tobey some of her cat’s toys because he loved them! Top rating!!

I can’t recommend Trishul enough. He treated our dogs like his own and was extremely responsive and great at keeping us informed the whole time. One of our dogs required medications at an odd schedule and he was so accommodating. I had no doubt that our dogs were in good, caring hands.

Ali and his family, including their dog, were great! Ali set up a meet and greet for our dogs to get to know each other, which was much appreciated. He asked good questions, was accommodating, and sent photos and a video of my dog in his home. Very happy!

Brielle has watched Frank multiple times and is a wonderful dog sitter. I always feel at ease when I am away knowing Frank is being loved for and cared to just like he was with me. She is very easy to communicate with and sends constant updates and pictures so I dont miss him too much. Frank is always excited to see Brielle again and even gets sad for a short time when I pick him up. She conducts herself in a very professional manner and I would highly recommend her for anyone feeling a little worried about leaving your little one behind. 5/5 STARS!!!!

Julia and her family were awesome. They took great care of our dog Layla. They took in our dog and let her make herself right at home on sofa. They sent us photos and were so gracious when we checked in to see how the pooch was doing. They also texted to let us know she was doing well. I know the kennels do their best but it kept our minds at ease that our dog was in a nice home while we were gone.

While my Coco stayed with Alex & Adam, they updated how Coco is doing every day with pictures and movies, which really helped me figure out Coco's status. From the movies that Coco was playing with their children, it looked like that Coco really enjoyed staying with them.

Sandra took great care of my Raven. She sent pictures and had great communication. Raven had a great time in her home. I love that she takes just one dog at a time and has a great yard. She treated Raven as her own. Would definitely book again!

Norika is a very trustworthy person to take care of animals, she has lots of experience in animal caretaking, she has 2 cats of her own. She has helped me with watching my pets while i was out of town, and they loved her so much they cried when she had to leave. She treats them with lots of love and care, and makes sure they are always comfortable and safe.

Aliana dog sat for me and her dog and mine loved each other. She was really great with my baby and very attentive. She sent me updates and updated me throughout the stay. She made sure my dog had all of the exercise she needed and gave her lots of love and cuddles. I think her love for dogs is what makes her such a great sitter.
