Laura and Simon were phenomenal sitters for our dog, Juneau! From the moment we dropped him off, they provided constant and frequent updates, including photos and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear they treated Juneau like part of their family. He looked so happy and well cared for throughout her stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Laura and Simon to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitters!

Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!

Brian and Carly are the BEST of the BEST! They are kind, competent, and genuine dog lovers. This trip was the longest I have been away from my beagle and I felt like she was with trusted friends. I didn’t have a single concern that she was getting anything but top notch care and love. Great communication and multiple daily photos! Brian and Carly worked through a last minute schedule change with me, and I am grateful for their flexibility. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for top quality care for their dog!

Russ and family took great care of our 13 year-old Goldendoodle for nine nights. Copper has a few health issues, and is on several medications that he takes four times per day. Russ ensured that Copper got all his meds and kept track on a chart we provided. He also sent photos daily showing Copper doing well which gave us great comfort while we were away on vacation. Russ and family are clearly dog lovers, and I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Nani took such good care of my dog Galileo during my one-week business trip! She is very experienced with dogs, and genuinely love them. She sent me photos of him throughout the day, and he always looked so happy in the photos. Galileo likes to go on long walks with her dog Leon and play in their backyard. I will definitely book Nani again!

Using Yejin as a sitter was the perfect experience. She is happy, motivated, easy to work with, and communicative. I could tell instantly that my dog was going to have a wonderful experience with her. Her environment is perfect for dogs, a good location with lots of walking. She purchased a dog bed and treats to help with the transition. I could tell when I picked my dog up he had a wonderful time. Usually, he is a little clingy after, he came home calm and rested. She is the best sitter I have used in years. Definitely more than five stars!!!!!

My dog Shira had yet another wonderful stay with Nicole when my husband and I went abroad for a wedding. Not only Nicole took care of Shira in her home, she sent us many pictures of her stay. Nicole also visited our cat Morris every day and because our cat was feeling especially lonely, Nicole showed him extra loving and care with daily brushing and cat teaser play. Shira and Morris are looking forward to spending more time with Nicole right before Christmas, Nicole is a wonderful petsitter and communicator.

Miles is a great csre taker for puppies. My puppy was so calm and well behaved when he came back to me. He's a pitbull and a rescue so I know it's a challenge taking him and training him. Nukes did a wonderful job at making Blue feel comfortable and safe. He came back to me so we'll behaved. I will absolutely be coming to back to Miles more often! Thank you so much.

Kael and Juliana were great with Lola! they sent videos and pictures every day and she always looked happy! First time with Rover that our dog also doesn’t come back with an upset stomach and she looked happy when we picked her up. Will definitely be working with them again for any trips we’ll have in the future

We had a wonderful experience leaving Cookie with Geoff! He took such great care of her and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, and it was clear how much love and attention he gave her — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Cookie came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We’re so grateful for Geoff’s kindness, reliability, and genuine care for pets. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving home boarding experience for their pet!
