“Seriously so amazing! My pup came home super happy to have spent some time with Huaqing! So communicative and provided frequent updates for how my pup was doing! You’ll be so happy and thankful to have Huaqing watch your fur baby”
“Very caring and attentive family with kids that were kind to our dog. House is safe for any dog. Sergio and Bethany were also very accommodating to the specific feeding instructions we provided.”
“Brooke and her family are amazing!! They cared for Billy, my older chihuahua mix for five days. Billy is typically timid but he immediately fell in love with Brooke’s kids Emma and Evan! They sent pictures and messages daily, provided his daily medication and went for walks. He had so much fun and did not want to leave. I will definitely have Brooke and her family watch Billy next time I leave town. Thank you so much!!!”
“Eric was a loving and attentive caregiver to my dogs! Provided me with frequent updates and photos . I adored little videos he was sending us ...helped me tremendously , made me feel at peace while being away from them. My dogs were in good hands 🙌 I truly appreciate Eric and will definitely trust to have Chloe and Charlie stay with him again !😁”
“They took very good care of my Enzo over the holidays and would love to have them watch Enzo again sometime in the near future! He always looked so happy in the picture updates which was awesome to see.”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Eddie loved his stay with Pamela! She took great care of him and stayed in touch to let me know how he was doing. He got along great with Carlos who is the sweetest pup! Thanks Pamela & Carlos!”
“Rachael and her husband treated Zumi as their own! She had such a great time and was tuckered out when she got home. Their yard was a great hit with my pup. The communication was top notch. She will be back”
“Alani was amazing with my dog Ringo! She watched him for 2 weeks while I was out of town and took great care of him and on lots of long walks. After picking him up he was immensely calmer and happier than he has been after being picked up from any other sitter. I highly recommend Alani if you are looking for a truly high quality sitter!”
“Tracy is the sweetest and you can tell that she absolutely loves dogs! She took care of my dog (Mr. Waffles) on super short notice and he had a wonderful time. Tracy is great at responding quickly and it eased my separation anxiety knowing that Mr. Waffles was being well cared for.”
“She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“Christian and Hana were wonderful! We got regular updates on how our pup was doing (complete with adorable photos) which made us feel so much better about being away from her. I'd definitely have Vee stay with them again!”
“Ana and her boyfriend were absolutely fabulous!!! They took care of my dog like their own pet and I could tell at the time of pickup my dog had become really fond of them. All instructions for food etc were well followed. Ana was amazing at sending me pictures everyday which eased my anxiety. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to all pet owners looking for an amazing sitter .”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“I was super nervous about leaving my dog Gigi with a sitter as she has crazy separation anxiety, but I am confident I made the right choice by leaving her with Kim. She sent me photos throughout G’s stay, as well as provided updates on what she was doing. Gigi was nervous at first, but Kim made her feel safe and comfortable enough to play with the other dogs and cuddle up with her on the couch. Gigi even whined in the car as we drove away after picking her up! Thank you so much Kim, I can tell you really love dogs and they definitely really love you! I’m so grateful to have somewhere that I can drop my dog off at and know she’s cared for and feels safe. ?”
“Angela and her family took extra special care of our senior chihuahua. Our dog got lots of attention and had a great time. We got lots of photos during here stay. Highly recommended.”
“Erica was great with Phoebe and did a great job updating me every day. And she was super accommodating to adjustments to my schedule. Definitely will book with her again!”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”

Brittany took great care of Millie and was extremely kind, responsive and sent updates and pictures consistently throughout the week. This was Millie's first time away from home and Brittany was very mindful of that. I was really put at ease and felt like she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone and she'll be my first call if I ever need a sitter!
Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!
Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.
10000/10!!! We felt so comfortable leaving Mochi with Huaqing. She took such great care of him and showed him the same love we give at home. She shared daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring as we were so far away. I could tell he was comfortable as well by the cuddly pictures of him, it made me happy to see he felt safe. She was also very careful with his dietary needs and made sure to follow the instructions we shared. She’s truly a gem 😊
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️

Stacy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The kindest and most lovely lady, and an even better sitter! She took spectacular care of my senior dog Ernie while I was gone for a week & a half and he absolutely loved staying in her lovely home. Stacy is the best, look no further for the perfect sitter! Thank you Stacy I will definitely book again!
Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
