1. Nina T.
“Nina is everything you could ask for to watch your pets. She took care of our older dog and cat for about 3 weeks. This included providing medicine and ensuring our dog didn’t play too hard due to her condition. Also, our cat celebrated 15 years while we were away and Nina made his day special. We received consistent photos, videos, and communication throughout our trip. We even received some great surprise gifts when we came to pick them up! Highly recommend Nina and we would definitely use her again in the future.”
2. Maria Gabriela P.
“Gabby is awesome!!! We both loved her!! She took such good care of our dogs, they looked so happy, clean & at peace. We would definitely want Gabby next time!! Thanks Gabby for being so wonderful!!! ❤️🎊”
3. Mona B.
“Mona is so sweet and kind. Took excellent care of our 2 senior dogs. Her home is set up perfectly for pets. The dogs had a very large front room, the kitchen, and the entire backyard to themselves. The backyard was impressive to say the least. Lots of places to explore and lounge. Meals, meds, and routines were welcomed and she made sure to keep them on schedule. Drop off and pick up were super easy. Knowing our 2 senior dogs are hanging out with 2 very loving humans in a home setting with all their favorite toys and dog bed is so incredibly comforting. We were sent updates and photos everyday of our 2, it was nice to see how they were doing. Highly recommend Mona to watch your fur babies!!!”

6. Lauren H.
“Lauren dogsat our two dogs, Ellie and Mowgli, for a 5 day stretch. She let us bring the dogs over early for a meet and greet and did everything she could to reassure us they’d be taken care of. She has a ton of experience boarding and training dogs and it was evident throughout their stay. She sent us tons of photos and videos of the pups’ vacation and always answered questions about them. Our dogs are picky eaters when traveling but Lauren made sure to help them out during their stay. We’d definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your furry family!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about this couple and their care for our fur babies!! Being away can be stressful, but we got pictures and updates every day of our boys having a wonderful time!! Their two dogs are sweet and fun. Knowing our dogs were so well cared for and happy made all the difference on our week-long-vacation! I’m sure our boys would be more than happy to visit them again soon! Thank you so so so so much! 🥰”
