Very nice and understanding with good communication; Xue took good care of my cat Pound Cake with multiple daily updates as if he was her own cat while I was out of town for almost 2 weeks. I highly recommend her :)

1st time leaving my dog with anybody who wasn’t family and I was so nervous. Tania made sure I had nothing to worry about and my dog Oreo had a great time! Oreo’s a special, spicy chihuahua who’s very picky with people yet Tania won her over in such a small amount of time! Will use her services again when I need to and will recommend her every time!

Kielyn is awesome! My dog is very large and high-energy. Kielyn knew how to handle him and took him to the park numerous times to get him exercise. Kielyn is great at communicating and it helped me enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was well taken care of. I highly recommend!

Erica is awesome. She dealt with my very picky, fussy Peri who was not having a good time adjusting to the different atmosphere. She was very patience, and therfore Peri felt comfortable enough to explore her surroundings. Pebbles looked to have had the time of her life although she was being a little aggressive with Alo. Erica dealt with it with patience and understanding. I know she had her hands full with these two at the same time. They are very different in personalities and aren't afraid to express it. Overall I swear my kitty's look better than when I dropped them off. Pebbles didn't even want me to take off her leash. Thank you again Erica for everything. You are awesome.

Morgan was excellent with Mia, Mia needed extra care and attention and was nervous as it was her first time boarding and Morgan was super accommodating, caring and considerate. She was super kind and attentive, even remembering special things about Mia and always thinking of her comfort and safety.

We don’t often leave our puppy in someone else’s care so it’s always stressful, but if we ever have to do it again we would 100% choose Alison. She took excellent care of our dog and always kept us updated. We felt confident everyday that Fiona was happy and having a great time. Couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alison!

I have known Alexandra since we were kids. She is very responsible, honest, and hard-working. In the years that I have known her, Alex has had two dogs of her own and has always treated them with respect, kindness, and love. Additionally, I have seen Alex interact with my own dog and she was always sweet, friendly, and playful with him (he passed a few years ago). I firmly believe that Alex will provide safe, loving care and great customer service.

If I had to describe Barbara with one word, it would simply be "incredible!" I am often nervous about leaving my pup with others while I'm away, but Barbara was an incredible sitter for my dog, Dallas. She carefully attended to his special medication needs and she made sure to send me regular photo and video updates so I didn't have to worry about my pup's wellbeing while I was overseas for two weeks. Dallas had a lovely time with Barbara and her dog Chewy. I'm so grateful to have found her and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thanks Barbara!

Briana did a great job caring for my little dog, Kodi. She was very responsive when I reached out to schedule a booking and she kept in touch with me throughout Kodi’s stay and sent pics of him at play with her two dogs. I can tell Kodi really enjoyed his time with Briana. Briana was even very accommodating when I had to extend Kodi’s stay at the last minute. I would definitely book another stay with Briana.

Gillian is a fantastic sitter and I look forward to booking with her again! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone she didn't know for the first time because she is wary of strangers, but she warmed up to Gillian very quickly and became her snuggly, playful self. I received daily updates about how she was doing, so I felt confident my dog was happy and safe.

I recently entrusted my beloved furry companion, Binny, into the capable hands of Joanna for a three-day getaway, and I can confidently say it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I dropped Binny off to the heartfelt reunion upon pickup, every aspect of the service provided by Joanna reflected a profound dedication to the well-being and happiness of Binny. Throughout Binny's stay, I received regular updates and photos, allowing me to stay connected and witness firsthand the joy and comfort Binny was experiencing. Whether it was leisurely strolls in the park, engaging playtime activities, or cozy snuggles, it was evident that Binny was not just receiving care but genuine affection and companionship. Beyond the exceptional standard of care, what truly sets Joanna apart is her genuine passion for animals. It's clear that she view pet sitting not merely as a job but as a calling—an opportunity to enrich the lives of furry companions and their owners alike. This passion shines through in every interaction and gesture, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual appreciation — to anyone seeking a dog sitter who goes above and beyond in ensuring the happiness and welfare of their furry family members. With Joanna, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will receive the love, care, and attention they deserve, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind during your time away.

It’s always a little nerve wracking when you’re away from your pup for an extended period, but Dion was great with Brix! He was patient, kind, communicative and gave him plenty of long walks which we appreciate. Will be utilizing Dion in the future when needed :)
