“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”
“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”
“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”
“Barbara was incredible - she was easy to coordinate and communicate with, sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and gave him lots of care and affection.”
“Angela took such great care of my pup Gilly! She was super responsive and sent consistent updates throughout the day. In every photo I could tell that Gilly was comfortable and having a great time. Would definitely trust Angela to watch Gilly again!”
“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“Sunisa was amazing with my elderly blind dog. She read my dogs cues well and it helped make my dog much more comfortable. Sunisa also went the extra mile to help me out during pick up and drop off and it was really appreciated.We will be booking with sunisa again for sure!”
“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”
“Emma was responsive, professional, and very sweet with our senior dog. Often our dog gets stressed about new environments—she came home from Emma’s house relaxed and happy, which tells me Emma did a fantastic job of providing calm, loving energy. Would book again!”
“Nate was exceptionally tentative with the dogs and extremely communicative. Sky and Winnie had a wonderful time and we would definitely want to book with Nate again!”
“Jeongeun was amazing! Bruno was so well taken care of for the entire weekend he was with her. She is very caring and communicative. We couldn’t be happier and felt so reassured with Jeongeun! Thanks so much!”
“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”
“Vanessa took great care of our dog, Bella. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs, is trustworthy and I'll definitely contact her again for Bella's next stay!”
“Victoria was an amazing dog sitter. Daily updates with pictures were available and quick replies with any questions or issues. She was really flexible with the stay and watching Bella.”
“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”
“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”

We used Anh for an extended stay, and she was great. Our dog posed some difficult challenges throughout the stay. Anh worked hard to overcome those challenges and even help us correct them long term. She is a hard worker that is very diligent in her efforts to ensure your dog is properly taken can of. I would highly recommend Anh.
Amazing experience boarding my dog. My senior dog is blind/deaf and was given wonderful attention. He had a huge fenced-in yard to explore at his own pace and I had regular updates with great pictures. I will book again if I need boarding, and highly recommend their services. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy!
William and his wife were incredible! They watched our 3.5 month old golden mix olive and she had so much fun I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. He was extremely communicative and sent consistent photos and updates. She adored their two Goldens and their trips to the park together. She also came home with freshly laundered linens, she herself smelled amazing and there was an enrichment toy that she took a liking to that William gave her. 10/10 would recommend and will plan on sending her to be with them in the future!
Linda was amazing!! She really made our pup feel at home, and sent exactly the right amount of pics and updates during the stay. She made sure to connect with us before the booking for a meet and greet to really get to know our dog and what her needs are. Thank you Linda, there's no part of our stay that we would change, and we'll 100% be reaching out for the next time we're out of town, or even heading out for a day trip. Thank you!
Marlyn was a god sent when I found myself in a bind recently and needed a sitter super last minute, including a pick up. She provided the reassurance needed that it was possible and the communication throughout my puppy’s stay to let me know that everything was going smoothly. Marlyn’s support during this last ordeal was much appreciated!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chotika!! From when we first talked, I felt completely confident that my dog would be in the best hands. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately showed how much she truly cares about the pets she looks after. While I was away, she went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. Every update I received included smiling photos that made it clear he was being cared for as if he were her own. In addition, our travel back was a disaster but Chotika could not have been more understanding and empathetic throughout the entire process. I feel so lucky to have found someone this dependable, kind, and responsible. I’d absolutely recommend booking with her!!!
