“Sandy does a great job of figuring out what each dog needs and 'hears' what they are telling her. We loved getting photos and messages while away and thinking about how he's getting along. We are signing up for our/his next visit!”
“Nad did an amazing job!! She messaged updates and lots of photos everyday!! I really appreciated everything she did for my pup. She is very quick and responding.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Kimo’s service. I was nervous at first to leave my dog, Moon for 4 weeks but Kimo was wonderful at addressing any issues that Moon has had. He always tries to find the best way to make Moon feel right at home and update me with lots of photos and videos of Moon when i’m away. Couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Our 13-year-old toy poodle, Lolita, did great with Lisa. We left her for 10 days and I received lots of pictures and updates, which put my heart at ease just knowing that she was in good hands.”
“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”
“We have used Carolyn so many times now, and she is always so caring with our Tato. She makes sure he receives plenty of attention and gives us lots of pictures and videos to enjoy. We will always recommend Carolyn, you won’t regret it!!”
“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable. When Sully had a bit of an allergy flareup on his nose, they were quick to notify me and give him some ointment. It truly seemed that they cared for our pup as they would their own. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”
“Tammy was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog, Mizu. Tammy communicated frequently, sent lots of photos, and we could tell that Mizu felt right at home with her. We felt so comfortable knowing that Mizu was loved and taken care of during our trip! Thanks Tammy!!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Amy was amazing! She sent pictures of Chewie while we were gone and was so quick to reply! She truly took great care of our boy! Thank you Amy! We are so grateful we found you!”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Dee had a WONDERFUL time! Lajetta has a beautiful home environment, and our pup felt comfortable there immediately on our first meeting. Lajetta sent many photos, and plenty of assurance Dee was safe and having a nice time. She even came home smelling better than we dropped her off!”
“Heath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”
“Taylor and Liv were phenomenal sitters. They were great communicators and took great care of our pup for the weekend while providing consistent updates(with pics)! We were very happy with the support of girl recieved and will absolutely be utilizing their services again!”
“Kristopher and his family did a wonderful job oc caring for Mochi. They are experienced and took time to learn about her specific needs prior to care. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing someone to take care of their fur baby and would use them again should the need arise. 5/5!”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”

Brianna was the absolute perfect sitter with Bluebonnet! She clearly loved having her, they snuggled often. And Bluebonnet is a leash puller & tough walker, and Brianna has absolutely no trouble handling her. We will absolutely use Brianna as a sitter again, and I would highly recommend her to others!
Bryan watched our two dogs for a week and we would definitely use him again. This was the first time we've boarded one of our dogs since we rescued him and Bryan was great with him. He can be very reactive to other dogs and people and Bryan accommodated him so he was comfortable. Our other dog is older and enjoyed being able to chill on the couch. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were both well taken care of.
My dog is a sweet but VERY anxious rescue. She warms up to people over time, but with hesitation. I’m so grateful when I get photos of Pepper snuggling up with Sandra on the couch and happily hanging out. She’s so loved and cared for. Such piece of mind for me when I’m out of town! 💕
I did two back to back trips leaving my dog with Navjot and I couldn't be happier with how it went. Monty was so comfortable in his space and he was good with getting her outside and having time to explore. Navjot also was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates during her stays. I will definitely use Navjot again for any future trips.
Amber takes such excellent care of our boy Dobby! He obviously feels at home with Amber and her family, and she went above and beyond to provide accommodations to give him more stability (he's a tripod). Dobby is also acting more confident with other dogs after playing with Ambers dogs for a long weekend. Bonus for his socialization! Highly recommend:)
