“Copper seemed to enjoy his stay very much with Yulia and her family. Every picture she sent us showed a happy, well-cared for pup! Yulia was concerned with Copper being comfortable and happy during his stay, which we definitely think he was.”
“Aspen took great care of our small dog during our 2 week international vacation. She made sure to give us daily updates with photos and was great with communication despite the time difference. Aspen kept on our dogs natural schedule and made sure she had frequent walks and potty breaks. Our dog also enjoyed having the company of Aspen’s dog, Satsu :)”
“We always leave our dog Rio with Dana and Nia. They are wonderful with him, and have figured out how to make him feel right at home. Will continue to use their services!”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
“Fernanda took perfect care of my Gracie (dog). Gracie had the best time, stuck to her normal routine, and was incredibly loved and cared for. Fernanda had her overnight for 4 nights/5 days and right away I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Before the stay, she was eager and open to wanting all information about Gracie, in efforts to make Gracie’s transition and stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. During the stay, she was excellent with communication, and providing picture and video updates during walks, play time, feeding, cuddles, etc. She even took the time to teach and master the command “paw” with Gracie!!! I would hands down recommend Fernanda to anyone needing someone to watch their fur baby, super easy choice!!!! 100/10”

“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“Amy is amazing with my dog, LiLi. She keeps her engaged with toys and treats, walks her 2X a day which is a deal breaker for LiLi digestion and derive to food. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Couldn't be happier with Joe! He was super accommodating to my dog's slightly ADHD nature, sent updates and photos every day, and was more than flexible with the logistics of pick up and drop off. I look forward to using him again!”
“Thank you so much, Jinyu, for taking such amazing care of Koda! We could really tell she felt comfortable and happy with you.

Thank you again for treating Koda like family, we would absolutely love to book with you again in the future 😊”

She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶”

“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park.

MIchael was taking care of our red golden Leo for 10 days and was sending daily several pictures showing Leo at play with other dogs - you could tell that had really good time. Leo doesn't get so much excersize when with us. We were happy with Michael's dogboarding and will use Michael also in the future.
Emily was FANTASTIC! Our pup was so happy as evidenced by the pictures she sent and how he had to say goodbye before he left. Whenever there was a question she was quick to ask us and incredibly responsible. He went for long walks and had so much fun. We will definitely use Emily again.
We are so happy to have found Nyna! Right from the start, her warm, gentle, and welcoming presence calmed our Mica who is sometimes nervous in unfamiliar settings. Nyna asked all the right questions, extended her affectionate nature immediately, and we were confident in her care. Mica returned tired and happy, with great pictures and communication as well. Couldn't be better - thank you, Nyna!
K is amazing! My dog Sidon had his own vacation while I had mine. She is very caring and everytime she sent me the pictures of Sidon, he was so happy. She is also very thoughtful - she asked thorough questions in advance to accommodate the need of Sidon. Highly recommend!
Anh is a wonderful, caring dog sitter! She watched our new puppy for the weekend and she was fantastic with him. We got frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and he clearly loved his time with her when we picked him up. We were so grateful for the peace of mind that having Anh watch Iggy gave us, and will definitely trust her to watch our sweet boy again and again.
Julie was amazing . We left our doggies to be boarded with her . We got daily updates and multiple photos in a day. Sonny and Burt ( our fur babies ) were well taken care of and she made them feel at home by accommodating their needs. I had a stress free vacation thanks to Julie
Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.
