“Fantastic service, will book again! Really appreciate the excellent care and communication, and the kindness and flexibility when I needed to extend my booking because my travel schedule changed. Felt assured that my cats were safely integrated into a new temporary family and well taken care of while I was away.”

“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Vania and her partner Andre are great sitters. Responsive and good communicators. This was my first time leaving Penny with someone and it could not have been smoother. It was obvious she had a great time.”

“Beth did a great job watching Cosmo! She made it very easy to schedule the pick up and drop off times, and sent lots of picture updates while I was away. I would definitely recommend Beth!”

“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”


“Patience was truly amazing with Poncho. She gives a lot of love and care to your pet and will treat them just like they are at home. She is also a very kind person. You can tell she is passionate about animals. She gave lots of updates, walked and played with Poncho all day, and was even kind enough to extend my time by an hour when I was running late. I will absolutely book again and I recommend her!”

“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”

“Donald and Jeffrey were great. They kept me updated with how Jack was doing and were flexible with a schedule change due to possible bad weather. Thanks for taking good care of Jack!”

“Nina and Chris were so awesome with our dog Mischa while we were out of town for five nights!! They set up a meet and greet prior to Mischa’s stay, sent daily photo updates during her stay, and were flexible and communicative throughout which was so greatly appreciated while we were away. It was evident Mischa was in great hands! Mischa will be staying with Nina and Chris again very soon and we would highly recommend them!!”

“Rahel did a wonderful job with our girl Shirley! She sent pictures, gave us updates, and I could tell that our girl was happy! We will definitely be using Rahel again!”

“Gus had a great time with Christine and her family and we felt safe knowing he was with them! He was very loved while we were away. We will call on her again!”

“Nicole was amazing! She communicated very well, sent texts with updates, she sent pictures and she answered every call and text. I was nervous for my first boarder experience but she made it SO easy and comfortable! Her energy and aura will make you feel at ease! I will definitely be using her again💯”

“Fathia was great watching Ollie! It was a shorter notice but she was able to accomodate and felt comfortable leaving our pup with her. Will certainly use her again in the future!”


“Our experience with Fabian was great. Our Masha seemed really having enjoyed it her time with him. She's unfortunately not very social, when with us, but her time there demonstrated she could happily share a backyard and some time with many other dogs with no problem whatsoever. That was amazing to see in all videos Fabian shared over the time. He took care of Masha's health and was open to share his views. Many thanks Fabian for your amazing hospitality.”

“Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.”

“Mo had so much fun staying with Malvi, Andrej, and Max for a week! Mo is a high energy dog, and they always make sure he gets enough attention and playtime in the backyard. They are very communicative and sent so many great pictures throughout his stay - we’ll continue booking Mo’s boarding here whenever they’re available!”

“Nani was fantastic from the meet and greet all the way to the end of my dog’s stay. She was very friendly and kept me informed with great pictures of my fur baby. I highly recommend her for services.”

Rut has cared for my dog on multiple occasions and consistently provided excellent attention. She maintains his routine, administers his medicine, and keeps him clean, healthy, and stimulated. She sends cute photos of my dog resting and napping, which reassures me that he feels comfortable and secure in her home.

We felt like muchacho was in great hands with Kaylee and her partner! Our dog is a senior boy who requires medication and a very particular schedule. We’re always nervous to board him (as any pet parent usually is) but with kaylees constant pictures and updates, we felt relieved and that he was taken care of. They were very understanding and were very good at communicating and reading his bio and instructions. We would absolutely use them again!

Robyn was a lifesaver by watching our dog Howie on very short notice. Even though Howie had newly begun having medical needs that required constant vigilance and a strict medication regimen, Robyn graciously and happily agreed to babysit him. She was so responsive and proactive and asked all the right questions about his needs, and Howie felt right at home with her. I can’t gush enough about how she came through for us, two strangers, in a critical moment. We will absolutely leave Howie with Robyn again and are so thankful to have found such a generous and compassionate sitter at such a stressful time

Donald and Jeffrey are absolutely wonderful! We just relocated to DC and worried about finding a trusted dog sitter for our French Bulldog, Winnie- thank goodness we found Donald and Jeffrey! They love Winnie like their own, and we are at complete ease while she is in their care. We are so grateful!

We cannot say enough great things about Rosina! She was the BEST dog sitter/boarder, and we will definitely be asking her to watch our two pups again whenever we go out of town in the future. During our meet and greet, it was clearly evident that Rosina loves dogs and takes great care of them! While we were out of town, Rosina sent us multiple picture updates. Knowing our two girls were in safe hands, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation. We're so glad to have found Rosina!

Jeison was amazing during my pup’s week-long stay with him! He took her on long walks and made sure she was comfortable and happy. The food I’d packed ran out, and Jeison went out of his way to make sure she was fed and healthy. Plus, he was very communicative with me and sent picture updates throughout the day. Would absolutely re-book petsitting with Jeison next time I’m out of town!

Emmet and Maria took excellent care of our beloved pup for 10 nights. My wife and I haven’t been away from our dog that long since we adopted him a year ago and really wanted to leave him with the right people. Emmet and Maria were the right people. From the start they were caring, attentive, and made our dog (and us) feel comfortable. They kept him in his established routine and took amazing care of him. We feel very lucky to have booked with them!

Jill was fantastic! Very pleased with all parts of the boarding experience. Jill was a great communicator and was very thoughtful in every step. My dog had a great time and I know she was well taken care when I picked her up. I had full confidence in leaving my dog and would definitely use Jill again.
