“Sabrina was an awesome sitter for our dog! She was incredibly responsive before the booking, attentive to every detail, and very engaged throughout the stay. She sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her home was lovely and had plenty of space for walks. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Kelly was amazing. The attention and the care to our pup. Our Kazuki was a little anxious at first but he felt right at home with Kelly. She made sure to send loads of pics and check ins. She was sure to make him feel at home. Thanks again Kelly. I surely will book with her soon. ☺️”
“This was Major's second time boarding with Morgan and Ethan and he had a blast both times hanging out with them and playing with Porter and Guinness. During his most recent stay, I was delayed in dropping off and picking up Major and, due to being in a rush, forgot to bring his overnight bag. They were incredibly understanding and accommodating, however, even allowing him to use their own dog food and bowls. During both stays, Morgan and Ethan have been extremely responsive and great about providing updates, pictures and, and videos about how Major is doing. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for the peace of mind that their dog is being taken care of by people who truly care.”
“Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!”
“Sunny took great care of Starfox. Sent lots of pictures and videos, which helped me a lot! Perhaps the best thing of all was that she was able to help my dog learn to safely socialize with other dogs and get lots of playtime - something I’ve admittedly had trouble with. Sunny stepped up after 2 different sitters here cancelled last minute literally 2 days before I had to leave for a work trip, and I am very glad she did!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Tamara was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter I’ve had. I boarded my little guy with her for about 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout on how he was doing. It really put me at ease and let me know he was in great hands. I would 100%recommend.”
“Geoffrey was amazing!!! Cannot recommend enough. We received constant pictures and updates throughout the entire stay. Geoffrey and Izzy were great, communicative and loving!”
“Maryjo and Jon were such caring and attentive dog sitters for our Carlton. They have tons of experience with dogs, and it shows! Thanks for loving our boy for a weekend!”
“Mariah lights up when Haydenn comes to the door for her. He has a magical way with all the dogs. He is so flexible and understanding too. We are so grateful for him and Mariah loves him!”
“Bryan is a treasure. He is kind, professional and has a great sense of humor. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my dog. I will always have him take care of my dog. Thank you, Bryan!!!”
“Tina was wonderful to work with! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and kept us updated throughout Biscuit’s stay with great communication. We especially appreciated all of the adorable photos she sent—they gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Tina was a pleasure to work with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Morgan and her family took great care of our little dog, Pepper. Even though they have a big dog, pictures confirmed our 12-lb Pepper was quite comfortable around him. She sent pictures daily and responded promptly to any questions. It appeared our little dog had a fine time staying with Morgan and her family and we will be quite comfortable reaching out to Morgan when we need someone to dog-sit Pepper.”
“Mac is a wonderful sitter! Buddy loves going to stay with him and Beetle! Mac always sends the best photos and keeps me updates on everything. 100% recommend Mac.”
“Brian was amazing taking care of our 10 year old mini golden doodle Tillie. He sent us multiple updates with pictures each day, and you could tell from them that she was having Ana amazing time and was being well cared for. We will definitely be using Brian again for boarding in the future!”
“Andrew and Adva were fantastic with my older pup-they helped her manage her mobility issues, took her for lots of slow, easy walks, and kept her comfortable with constant company. They sent daily updates and photos too. Andrew and Adva put me at ease right away; they are kind, calm, and flexible. I didn't feel apprehensive about leaving my senior dog for five days. I will absolutely request them again!”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”

Sunny took incredible care of our dog Huxley. She provided him with lots of love, tons of activity, and a safe environment. Sunny is very professional and clearly invested in providing good care, including medication and the demanding grooming requirements of a Doodle. We were able to book last minute, as well as organize pick-up and drop-off. We will definitely look to book Sunny again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog!!
Ewelina was amazing with Remy. She took the time to meet our pup a few days before drop off and was so patient with her timidness. Throughout the weekend Ewelina kept us updated on how Remy was doing and sent some super cute pictures. We definitely recommend her, trust her, and would use her again!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Aaron gave our sweet Gracie Mae during her extended stay! He kept her happy and busy with fun adventures and plenty of exercise. We loved his thoughtful updates and great communication. It meant so much knowing our girl was in such good hands. Thank you, Aaron!
Mia and her dad,Hector were the best sitters for our (sometimes!) crazy puppy Malibu. It was our first time leaving on a week long trip without taking her, and Mia gave updates with pictures almost every day. I felt very relieved that we chose the right family to partner with. Everyone was very kind. We will definitely use them again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾😊
Jaylyn is one of the BEST sitters I've ever had to board my dog Piper!! From the start, she had great communication- was flexible, accommodating to shifting drop off and pick up times, and quick to respond. She asked thoughtful questions and was eager to get to know my dog. Then, she took such great care of Piper: taking her on long walks, to the dog park, and giving treats for tricks. Piper was actually sad to leave Jaylyn which was a first for her! I highly recommend Jaylyn as a sitter and we'll be using her services again for sure!
