“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Cassandra took such great care of our fur baby! She responded quickly to every message, worked with us when we had to do an early drop-off and sent daily pictures. Our puppy loved her and we will definitely be booking her again for future sitting needs.”
“Came from VA for vacation with a big family! Hope took my pups in last min when the petsitter I had cancel on me while enroute. We were stuck in traffic and arrived 2 hours after the pickup time and she accommodated us!”
“Our pup Sia had the absolute best time staying with Megan and Vitaliy while we were on vacation. She loved the big yard and playing with her buddies, Megan and Vitaliy's 2 dogs. We received lots of pics of Sia and knew she was well taken care of. Thank you Megan and Vitaliy for hosing Sia!”
“Penny and Ron are fantastic! It's never easy leaving your loved one with someone that you've just met but there's truly something special about them! Penny was very thorough and sincere in wanting to get to know everything she can about our boy. She took plenty of notes and communicated throughout his stay with plenty and pictures videos and texts. She made a report card of his stay with them (which is already the refrigerator) and placed it in a giftbag full of treats for him. Such a blessing to find people who truly care and love your fur baby just as much as we do! We could tell that he blended in perfectly with their routine and felt completely comfortable right away. Definitely looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again Penny and Ron!!🥰”
“Kelly was great! The property Leo stayed with her was big and spacious with lots of space to run around. her dogs adapt well to other animals and Leo soon became part of the pack. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up and didn't see nervous or traumatized at all. Kelly was great about sending picture and updates to us while we were away.”
“Liz was fantastic with Daisy Mae! She was quick with her responses and her regular updates were on point! Daisy Mae loved hanging out with Liz and her two wonderful dogs. Thank you!”
“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”
“Roberta is experienced, capable, compassionate and communicative. We were so lucky that a former client of hers (from 10+ years ago!) referred her for in-home boarding of our recently inherited, mostly blind, 18 year old Maltese mix (former owner died). She spent a relaxing hour with us during the first meeting so Petie could get to know her. When I left him there for the extended stay, he fell asleep right away and had no potty accidents. These are sure signs that he was completely at ease with her and in her home, no small accomplishment for this senior dog that only had one owner gus entire life up til recently. We highly recommend Roberta, especially for seniors dogs that need extra attention and TLC. We fully enjoyed our vacation, knowing he was getting great care.”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”

Kristin (and Jeremy) were phenomenal with our pup, Riley. Riley seemed very happy when we picked her up and clearly enjoyed her stay with Kristin greatly! Kristin was also accommodating and flexible with our schedule for Riley’s drop off and pick up. We got the cutest picture updates too! If we need care for Riley again in the future, we would love to utilize Kristin and Jeremy again! Thank you!
