“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”
“Outstanding service for our pup! We feel so comfortable when our dog is with Charlene. Charlene is communicative and always ensures our dog is happy and well cared for. Highly recommend! :)”
“Sharon took great care of Cain, especially given a recent health concern that popped up for him right before we were leaving for our trip. I felt that he was comfortable and in great care!”
“Super dog sitter! My dogs were dead tired from all the amazing hikes they were taking. :) We received lots of pictures and communication during their stay so we were sure that they were safe and sound while we were gone. Lots of happy smiles and tail wags when we came back. Would definitely book again!”
“What a wonderful experience! Amanda and Chris took such great care of my special needs pup, and really brought him in as part of their family. They sent lots of photos to keep me in the loop which I loved. I would absolutely trust them to take care of my big buddy any time :)”
“Hy and Arlo watched my girl Priscilla for a week while I was out of the country and I will 100% have them watch her again. Pris is sometimes reactive to other dogs, so I'm always nervous leaving her in someone else's care (especially when I'm a flight away!), but Hy and Arlo had experience with this and I felt totally comfortable. I knew it was a good match from the first time I brought her over for a meet and greet. Pris just walked right in, rolled all over the carpet, and made herself at home. I can tell she was well loved and cared for in our absence! I highly recommend.”
“Benny did a great job watching my (Barry) German Shepherd. He sent daily updates which kept me at ease knowing that Barry was well taken care of. I highly recommend Benny to watch your dogs.”
“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
“2nd time with Chantel and my pup feels like family! I so appreciate Chantel’s communication and updates. I feel in the loop about how my guy is doing while I’m away. And he loves play time with his friend Spartan!”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
“Best pet sitter in the East Bay, Philly was walked and well-taken care of, updates were amazing and adorable, Kelly even gave me her harness and included dried sweet potato treat sticks for Philly, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Kelly!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Astrid and her family took such good care of my puppy! My puppy was very comfortable and happy staying with her and her family. She is knowledgeable, kind, and sent updates throughout his stay. Highly recommended her! Will be booking with her again. Thanks, Astrid!”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Matthew and VJ were so good with Lily. They treated her like one of their own dogs, giving her treats and lots of cuddles. Lily also really enjoyed playing with their dogs. I can tell Lily likes them, and I'll definitely have them take care of her in the future.”
“Fruko loves Jake! He spend the best time at his place, hanging with new furry friends. Thank you so much Jake, 100% recommended. If you’re looking for a trustful and loving dog sitter Jake is the best option! 🐶🐾”

Inkoo was a wonderful host for Tino, keeping him happy with lots of long walks, naps in the sun, and snuggles even on the bed. I loved her daily updates with pictures of him clearly relaxed and enjoying himself. Top notch care! I appreciate that she took my request with fairly short notice and was able to do a meet and greet the next day! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future boarding needs.
I had an amazing experience with Dinem! They truly went above and beyond in every way. From the start, they were attentive, communicative, and clearly cared so much about my dog. When I picked Corn up, I could immediately tell how happy and well cared for they were. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Corn was in such loving and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring dog sitter!
Azar took care of our dog for 5 days, and he seemed very comfortable and happy throughout his stay. We contacted her last minute and she agreed to a meet & greet the same day which was a life saver. She’s very communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. I can tell that she’s a dog person and my dog was very fond of her and her partner. I can’t recommend her enough!
Megan and Jenny provided exceptional care for Zoey during her stay. Communication and pictures were provided and I knew Zoey was safe, comfortable and having a good time. Megan and Jenny are professional, knowledgeable and met my expectations for the loving care they provided. I would absolutely use them again.
Hy was wonderful with my boy! Clearly she is a place of loving peace for the pups, because he was happy when I picked him up and not wired or “different” in any way. She seems committed to watching out for their safety, getting their routine right, and making sure they feel loved. So grateful, and would happily leave my guy with her again.
Andrea is amazing and took such incredible care of our dog. She truly treats him like one of her own. This was the first time we’ve left him for such a long stretch, and we felt completely at ease. He was happy, comfortable, playing, and eating well the entire time. We also loved receiving the sweetest photo updates.
Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was looked after and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos. I was so nervous to leave my anxious pup but she made me feel completely at ease and it was clear he had such a great visit. Kelly clearly adores dogs and treats them like family. I feel so lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our boy !
