3. Debra G.


“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”


4. Anusha A.

“Anusha is by far the best! Enzo was so well taken care of. I cannot describe how happy I am with Anushas care, she was attentive, took him on walks, gave him treats, played with him and was always in close contact with me. She also sent loads of pictures and videos the entire time. She was so nurturing towards him I felt he was cared for by family. Your pup 🐶 is 1110% in great hands. I will recommend her to anyone anytime. I am sure Enzo is going to miss her and her wonderful family and home. Until next time. Thank you so very much 🫶”

6. Christy & Cornell N.

“We had a sitter for our pup for 3 yrs and had to find him a new sitter since we moved. After looking at several sitter we ate really happy and blessed to find Christy and her family. They are very loving and caring and took a very good care of our pup. They also shared an update with a picture which gave us a peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of. Thank you Christy and family!”


7. Cyndy D.
“Cyndy is truly the BEST doggy sitter you will find! She took SUCH amazing care of my fur baby, Princess Leia. She sent me so many pictures and updates throughout our trip which truly put my mind at ease. She always made sure Leia was comfortable and even sat with her to make sure she ate all her food when she was a little nervous!! We had such an amazing experience with Cyndy and I highly recommend her!”


8. Svetlana G.


“Lana took great care of our golden Maggie over the Christmas holiday. Maggie had plenty of exercise at the nearby park and Lana provided great pics of Maggie throughout the course of the stay. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future.”


9. Brandi V.

“Brandi was absolutely amazing! My dog was so comfortable and happy there! I highly recommend anyone to use Brandi for a pet sitter. Her family was very welcoming with my pup and he will be returning there next time I need a sitter”


10. Becky M.

“My dog can be fearful and reactive of new people and Becky was very patient and understanding. She knew how to handle her reactivity on walks with tricks that we’ve been training on. Becky sent lots of photos and gave nice updates. I hope I can book Becky again the next time we’re out of town!”


11. Kimberly E.

“Since our 13 month old puppy has never been away from family, it might not be easy to calm him down and sit him for a week and half. Kimberly helped our puppy to socialize with her two other dogs and kept us posted day to day about Mochi's well-being while we are away. I am sure it might not be easy to take care the puppy first time away from family for extensive time. We do appreciate her patience and care for our little Malti-Poo.”


12. Jennifer G.

“As always Jennifer is always there for Ty! She is amazing and this is the 4th time Ty stays there. I have piece of mind knowing she is around! Thank you one more time!!!”

14. Scarleth L.

“Scarleth and her family were very loving to our dog! They sent daily pictures and let us know how he was doing. I would highly recommend her for dog boarding. She is responsible and takes care of dogs well.”


15. Lisa R.

“Lisa was amazing with our puppy, Cura (8 months). Cura went on plenty of walks on the beach and around Lisa's beautiful neighborhood. We got lots of updates with photos- and Cura came back to us happy, clean, and even more confident! Will for sure use Lisa's services again, 100/10!”


16. Lyan H.

“Lyan is so sweet and wonderful. It was great finding someone close to us, so that was a major plus. We had a chance to meet them beforehand, especially their dog, Dexter. So adorable! Our Mylie had a wonderful stay with Lyan. We got photo and text updates throughout and her communication is top notch. We will most certainly use Lyan's services again. Highly recommend!”


17. Nancy K.

“Nancy and her husband were very sweet and loving to my 2 old doggies. They looked right at home and relaxed. Our trip was not stresses knowing they were well taken care of.”


18. Denise D.

“Denise is great! She even threw a birthday party for our dog while we were away. Their house is within walking distance to the beach and she took him on long walks - you can’t beat that! Definitely using her again.”

He treated them like his own with lots of walks and play :) We will definitely be using Geoff again!”
