“Wenxin took such good care of my dog Smiley, she showered Smiley with love, care, and patience. Smiley really enjoyed every minute. Strongly recommend Wenxin for anyone who needs help with their dog.”
“Our dog had such a great stay with Monica and her family! They took great care of him, went on multiple outings (e.h. hikes, beach), and just loved him up. Also their dog was a great and friendly companion. We’d happily have him there in the future!”
“Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.”
“They are just beyond amazing people who truly care and love dogs. Our dogs had amazing time with them, we can tell! There is no enough words to describe how beautiful people they are.”
“Kianna and her family adore Luffy and he adores them! She takes very good care of him and he is always so happy to hang out with her kids. This is officially his vacation spot!”
“My pup Ollie had a great time at Leon and Sara’s! He loved hanging out with them and their fur babies and didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. Leon was very responsive and accommodating with my pickup and dropoff time, he also sent lots of cute photos and videos throughout his stay. Will definitely come back!”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Ross and family took amazing care of Clover and Willow! They seems extremely relaxed and to get along well with Millie. I didn’t worry about them during our trip. Super thankful and would love to have the girls stay again!”
“Cassy and Kizemt were awesome! We had difficulties with our previous dog sitter, so were a little skittish leaving Merrick to go on vacation for over a week. Cassy met with us ahead of time so that we could get to know her and her pup. During our trip, Cassy sent us regular photos and videos of Merrick having a blast on hikes and adventures--he definitely got a little vacay, too! She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Everything about the sitting was fantastic. Cassy is incredibly friendly and easy to be in contact with. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”
“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!”
“Julie and Adam were wonderful and caring hosts for our Murphy. They sent us photos and updates while we were away, which made us feel so at ease knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the genuine love they showed our pup and will definitely have them watch him again. Thank you, Julie and Adam!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Matthew and Van Joseph took amazing care of our two pups. We got lots of lovely updates - going on walks, playing and napping, I could see they were well taken care of.”
“Robert and Brian truly loved up our pup Koda! We got lots of pictures of walks through parks and running and sweet belly rubs. They went out of their way on New Years Eve to help keep Koda comfortable and we’re so grateful for that. Koda was wonderfully sleepy when we picked her up so we could tell she had fun! Thanks so much Robert and Brian!”

Mariola has watched my senior dog several times and she takes such great care of her. On one of her stays, my dog had an upset stomach and Mariola kept me up to date and gave her care until I was home. She has a fenced yard that gives the dogs some extra outdoor time, and my dog clearly enjoys her stays when I go out of town. I highly recommend, especially if you have an small older dog like I do
Absolutely fantastic experience having Alexis board our dog. From the regular updates with pictures to kind and gentle approach she took until he warmed up to trust her, you can really tell Alexis has the right attitude and experience. The grass area out back is something our dog really enjoyed as it was like being at home able to take some naps in the sun in the grass. We'll definitely be planning in advance to get access to Alexis again.
Jazmine is lovely, sweet and calm. She took great care of my elderly doggie and let me know when he was having issues but also reassured me that all was well. She sent cute photos which really lifted my spirits. She is conscientious and patient. I’d highly recommend her. Her kids are good with dogs too. Yoshi was calm and healthy when he came home.
Frankie was so happy to see Rachel when we dropped him off which really solidified to us that he enjoyed his stay with her and her partner previously! We got so many photos of Frankie getting all the best cuddles. I'm sure Frankie will be stoked to stay with them again.
Lulu had a wonderful stay with Babette. Babette sent regular updates and photos and found ways to keep Lulu entertained over a rainy few days. She was very caring and attentive and made me feel very at ease during Lulu's first stay. We will definitely have Lulu stay with Babette again in future!
Julieth took great care of my baby! They went on many adventures and she sent pictures so I could see what they were up to. I appreciated Julieth's thorough questions. She made sure she knew how to take care of my pup and handle her reactivity, and how much exercise she needs. Julieth was very responsive to my messages and I appreciated her flexibility around pick up and drop off times.
