1. Sunisa T.
“Caramelo had another boarding for 2 nights and three days with Sunisa. I am especially grateful for this one, as I needed to add a night due to work and family matters. Sunisa was very flexible in accommodating my request and I appreciate her empathy and Chris. Caramelo is transitioning to another food, as he is very picky. She followed my instructions and we hope he will be completely done with this transition by the time his extended boarding approaches, as I am traveling overseas. Thank you, Sunisa, for being so genuinely caring, a big thank you to both for being so thoughtful, for keeping me up to date, and for sending such wonderful pictures through the time Caramelo is under your care. As always, I cannot recommend her enough.”
2. Maryanne O.
“Maryanne was very easy to work with, arranging the preliminary visit, and the drop-off and pickup. She sent me lots of pictures while I was away, and told me it took a couple of days for my dog to get used to my being gone, and then she was fine.”
3. Keunyung P.
“Keunyung was absolutely amazing with my dog, T-Rex. From the start, she was someone I felt I could trust completely. Her detailed daily summaries, along with plenty of pictures and videos, provided a huge relief while I was away. It was clear T-Rex was in great hands, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. Grace is the go-to person if you want peace of mind and top-notch care for your pet!”
4. Gil O.
“Gil had great communication throughout the stay. Drop off and pickup were very smooth. We consistently received photos and believe our dog had a wonderful time! Thank you!”
5. Eddy J.
“I could not recommend Eddy highly enough. He was able to help on super short notice, was extremely diligent passing along updates, great pictures, and answering any questions we had. Anytime we need a dog sitter I’ll be returning to him.”
6. Barbara S.
“Barbara was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and made sure my dog felt comfortable staying with her. Barbara sent plenty of pictures which reassured me my dog was in good hands. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave! I would 100% recommend Barbara and will be trusting my dog in her hands again in the future.”
7. Victoria B.
“Victoria took excellent care of my pup when I was away. He loved his new comfy bed - and it was clear he had lots of opportunities for outings and cuddling. I appreciated the frequent photos, which put my mind at ease that our dog was being well cared for!”
8. Yesika S.
“Yesika was an amazing choice to watch our puppy for a few days! He came back happy, sleepy and he really seemed to enjoy his time there. Yesika was great with updates, communication, and being so gentle with Seti to make him comfortable. I highly recommend her and will rebook in the future!”
9. Adriana P.
“I felt so comfortable because Adriana is on time and took good care of my dog. She took my dog for walks often and provided everything he needed. I think she’s a really nice sitter.”
10. Emma L.
“Emma was amazing!! Her and her boyfriend took incredible care of Parker. I was terrified because Parker has never been to the city but Emma made me feel so much better and sent me so many pictures and updates. I am so grateful my puppy was in such wonderful hands. Thank you again Emma!!!!”
11. Ann W.
“We were very happy with Ann. She is very attentive, cheerful, organized and taking care of our dog was her highest priority. We could tell that Leo had an excellent time with her because he was really sad the first two days back home. We would love to have Leo with her again.”

“Jo and Adam were great! Very communicative, and our dog had a great time during his stay. We will definitely ask them to watch him again! Highly recommend!”
13. Oana & Oliver B.
“Oana and Oliver took wonderful care of my 12 yr old dog Molly. Communication and scheduling went smoothly and we had a meet & greet first. Oana was very willing and attentive to giving Molly her several daily medications (some with food, some on an empty stomach, etc). Molly had a great time and I look forward to having her stay with Oana and Oliver again!”
14. Kathryn H.
“Kathryn was so great with my dog! They had a very active weekend with tons of play and socialization (Kathryn asked first if that would be ok and I knew my dog would love it!) she gave frequent updates with pictures and was patient and understanding with my dog. I would highly recommend her!”

“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!”
16. Irina Z.
“Our diabetic cat Joki feels so welcome when he stays with Irina! She has gone out of her way to take care of him and make sure he's comfortable, even going to the store to get him some a wheat grass plant to munch on! We will definitely have Irina watch Joki again in the future!”
17. Gina J.
“Gina took great care of my dog, Gus, during an overnight stay. Gus, who can be quite sensitive with new people, seemed happy and well-adjusted when I returned. I appreciated her caring attentiveness.”
18. Sabine G.
“Sabine is a wonderful, caring, and active sitter for Ziggy. She keeps me updated with cute pix and bonds well with him. 😃. I plan on hiring her again for sure!!”
19. Kaitlyn D.
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
20. Michelle C.
“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”
