1. Maria Catia A.
“Second time we used Maria. She and her son are very loving and kind. Perfect place for our dog Hattie who likes kids and lounging in the sun.”
2. Mariola P.
“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
3. Karen M.
“We have a big rescue dog, Lupin, who is nervous around new people and leash reactive/frustrated because he wants to play with every dog he sees, and Karen was fantastic with him. It was very clear at our meet and greet at the park that she knew how to deal with such issues, and knew a lot about dogs and their behavoir. We did a one night trial run to get lupin used to them for longer boarding and they were very kind to him - we have already booked 2 more trips. At our meet and greet, her lovely pup was a marvelous calming influence on our 2 yr old.”
4. Radha P.
“Another great stay at Radha’s house for our Abby! Super happy to have her stay where she has fun and is loved. Lots of room to play and immaculately clean.”
5. Juli L.
“Barney had a great stay with Juli and Gigi! Juli is very conscientious - this is important because my dog is elderly and his faculties are declining. Barney enjoyed Juli's wonderful backyard and the calm environment of her home. I highly recommend Juli as a dog sitter!”
6. Jakob K.
“Jakob was the perfect choice for our pup who can be wary of new surroundings. It was clear from the updates and photos that Cali was comfortable and relaxed with him and in his home. As the owner; he was professional, curious about schedules and habits, and his house is a great set up for four legged visitors. Grateful I found him, and would happily use again!”
7. Alma & Victor S.
“Alma and Victor were great with Ivy -- after spending five days with them while we were on the road, our pup wasn't particularly eager to come home. They sent us a regular stream of photos so we could see how comfortable Ivy was at their place, and sent her back to us freshly fluffed despite the almost nonstop rain that came down while we were out of town. We'll definitely be booking Ivy in with them again.”
8. Tosca B.
“Tosca, Marco, and Sonnet are the absolute best companions for your beloved pet while you are away! We always trust that our dog is loved and cared for, and we can tell she loves them so much!”
9. Te'Arie J.
“Te’Arie was great with our maltipoo pup, who can be a bit on the nervous side when first meeting people and other dogs/cats. She knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable during her weekend stay and I loved how she kept me posted on their outings (walks and nearby beach) and shared pics. You can tell Te’Arie has experience working with different personalities and is also just a really warm, caring person. Would definitely book with Te’Arie again and highly recommend!”
10. Karen & Hisako N.
“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”
11. Yuko F.
“We deeply appreciate that Scooter is well loved and taken care of. We never have to worry if he will be okay. Yuko and pack treats him like their own. We are thrilled to say we have found Scooter’s trusted & preferred people to leave him with when needed.”
12. Nathan W.
“Nathan is great with all kinds of animals. He's taken excellent care of our dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and hamsters over the years. He is very responsible and kind. I highly recommend him!”
13. Elisha S.
“Charlie had a great 10 day stay with Elisha. She responded quickly to my initial request and was very easy to work with from start to finish. She has a great set-up with a very large, private community park just outside her house. I highly recommend Elisha. Charlie is looking forward to his next stay.”
14. Danielle M.
“Danielle treated our dog to more TLC and walks than we do ourselves, to be honest. Snowy loved her and she was a pleasure to work with. 5 paws up 🐕”
15. Patrick W.
“We used Patrick for the first time this past week. We felt confident that the dogs were in good hands with his outstanding reviews. It is clear that Patrick cares and makes an effort to go over the details thoughtfully. He also is very prompt at replying and confirming details before the visit. A great yard for the dogs to enjoy! We got daily photos of the dogs.”
16. Mary C.
“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”
17. Julie & Adam G.
“Julie and Adam are perfect sitters! They were thoughtful, reliable, and great with my dog. He seemed very happy and comfortable with them. I’d definitely book with them again!”
18. Yeon Soo K.
“Yeon Soo was fantastic. My pup had a nervous stomach during his visit and she went above and beyond to cook him rice. I am so very appreciative of the care she gave to Jupiter.”
19. April L.
“April did a fantastic job caring for Clio, our Chiweenie, while we were away for five days. She asked great questions beforehand about Clio's routines and behavior, and we appreciated the daily photos of Clio on walks, chilling out, etc. Our pooch was happy and healthy when we picked up her up. We would gladly ask April to care for her again!”
20. Eve C.
“I was worried Jenny wouldn't want to come home. Eve and her family made Jenny feel treasured and I was delighted to receive many silly pictures and videos of everyone goofing around together. THANK YOU for making her feel special.”
