Gianna was very attentive and caring for our dog. It was a pleasure having her taking care of our fur-baby princess for four hours when we were out for dinner! Very happy and appreciate her help. Five paw prints!

Mary was super great with my puppy / service dog in training. She did lots of activities with her and had lots of space for her to explore and have fun in, she also sent me updates and followed specific instructions for her care. Will definitely be hiring her again! 🩷 🐾

Juliana was GREAT with my dog Tobey! He was happy and well-cared for. Juliana has great communication, sending pics and updates, answering questions as needed. I hope Tobey gets to hang with her again! She even gave Tobey some of her cat’s toys because he loved them! Top rating!!

Our dog had a great 3-night stay with Janice! She went for walks in the woods, snuggled with Janice’s son, and was extremely well cared for. Happy girl upon return. Thanks, Janice!

Trishul and Victor are the best! They were warm and welcoming to my two dogs and treated them with love and care. Trishul was communicative from the beginning and the experience was easy and reassuring. I recommend him highly!

Ruby is very responsible, patient and attentive with our two dogs. We have used her multiple times to stay at our home while we are traveling. She sent daily updates and pictures via text which eased our concerns while we were away. Our dogs love their time with her and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!

Ali and his family, including their dog, were great! Ali set up a meet and greet for our dogs to get to know each other, which was much appreciated. He asked good questions, was accommodating, and sent photos and a video of my dog in his home. Very happy!

We are new to using Patti, but couldn't be happier with her care of our Josie. Patti was very good about letting me know how Josie was getting on and sending photos of the two of them together. I have already scheduled our next visit with Patti!

My dog, Ollie, just spent a week with Sandy and I cannot say enough about how great she was. I hadn’t ever left him with anyone other than family and from the first minute I met Sandy during our meet and great, she put me right at ease. She was communicative and caring and he clearly had a great time. I would (and will!) rebook her in a heartbeat!

Jessica and her family were the BEST. I am very particular about who watches my dog as he is my service dog and baby. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated numerous times throughout the day. Couldn’t have expected anything more from this experience! :)

Julia is an excellent doggie host - she has experience with dogs, offers a warm, caring and welcoming home, and is very accommodating when it comes to pickup / dropoff timing. Toffee really enjoyed her stay, and was especially happy to have lots of friendly human friends! I really appreciated the updates (technical difficulties notwithstanding). Toffee and I thank you, Julia, and everyone else at home! We shall definitely look forward to doing this again in the future! :)

Norika is a very trustworthy person to take care of animals, she has lots of experience in animal caretaking, she has 2 cats of her own. She has helped me with watching my pets while i was out of town, and they loved her so much they cried when she had to leave. She treats them with lots of love and care, and makes sure they are always comfortable and safe.

While my Coco stayed with Alex & Adam, they updated how Coco is doing every day with pictures and movies, which really helped me figure out Coco's status. From the movies that Coco was playing with their children, it looked like that Coco really enjoyed staying with them.
