“Jen was an amazing pet sitter for our disabled, old girl, Tinkerbell. She made sure she got her meds, took her for walks in her stroller, and got lots of loving from her family. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. You could see how happy she was in each one. Thank you, Jen, for loving Tinkerbell like she was your own! We highly recommend Jen for all your pet-sitting needs!”


“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”

I will take care of the pet in our home and have a 3000 sqft backyard where the pets can play and have fun time

“We had a wonderful experience with Jieun! She took great care of our senior dog, Gomi, who needs a bit of extra attention. We especially appreciated the daily updates—photos, videos, and status messages—that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Gomi was in good hands and well cared for. Highly recommend!”


“Yajaira was wonderful with our dog Luna! She sent many photos of their dog walks together and I just knew Luna was in good hands! She communicated well and had quick responses. I would recommend her as a sitter from the care that was given to my Luna. Thank you Yajaira!”


“I usually rely on one person to take care of my pup, but that person had to leave for 3 months and it’s hard to find someone to trust. I’m very blessed to find Wendy she sent me videos and pictures of my dog making sure he is good. I’m glad she also has dogs also to keep our pup social. I would definitely rebook with Wendy again.”



“Our dog Ottis loves Tracey. He gets out of the car and runs straight to her front door. He could care less about us leaving him. I feel comfortable leaving him in her care. Tracey sends pictures throughout the day with details about how he did and is always available if I have any questions. I can’t recommend her enough.”


“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.”

My dog absolutely loves spending time with her, which makes me confident in leaving him in her care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“Sabrina did a fantastic job of looking after Mili, our 8 year golden retriever while we were away for the weekend. She was always responsive and sent updates/pictures everyday. Mili had a great time and we will definitely use Sabrina’s services the next time we need a sitter.”


“Nikhila’s home is a home away from home for our little pup! This is probably third time boarding with Nikhila but first time leaving our pup for a week. She updated us everyday with pics and videos. It kept us relaxed while we were out. He had a blast! She was so kind to share her dog food with Meeko and also packed some of his fav treats she had given him during his stay. Thank you Nikhila and your family for taking such good care of our Meeko! We deeply appreciate it and forever grateful and so glad we found you!”


“JD is a dog whisperer! Cannot say enough about how amazing he was with our 125lb Rottie! It is very clear how much the dogs love and respect him! He is very affectionate with them and ensures they are comfortable at all times. They get a lot of play time..Koba is always ready for a nap after all his playtime there. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and their interactions with one another. He has a gentle and soft way with them making it easy for them to want to obey him. I received as much as 30 pictures a day showing what Koba was enjoying! JD will be out go to anytime we are away from home!”



“Patricia is responsive and careful. I appreciated her asking me to fill out a questionnaire about Ariel beforehand. It really shows she cares about what is best for my dog. She showed me around her house during the meet-and-greet to assure me Ariel would be comfortable there. Ariel was stressed out when I was gone. Patricia took her on hikes and played fetch with her to establish the bond. She also cooked chicken for Ariel trying to increase her appetite. I really appreciate the effort and will book again!”


“Nevin and her beautiful family took awesome care of our little Miss Mia! She sent pictures daily and we could see how happy Mia was, which thereby allowed us to enjoy ourselves on our vacation with peace of mind. We most definitely will be back as repeat customers for future trips. Don’t hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs! Trust me, you will not be disappointed!”
