“Tonisa was great!! We did a meet and greet first. She was accommodating of any special needs and took care of Rocky like her own! Great with pictures and videos too! Rocky will be back to see Ava, his new friend.”
“Bola took great care of my pup child. Rhea received lots of love and was definitely spoiled. (I can tell) lol Bola was responsive and sent updates and videos of Rhea. Rhea really likes Bryce and I hope they become long-term pup friends. I would definitely book again without giving it a second thought.”
“Katherine did such an amazing job with my pups! They were absolutely loved and cared for. They had such a blast. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I wanna keep her services a hidden gem. She’s the best sitter we’ve had so far!”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“Definitely would recommend Liz and her family!!!! My last minute sitter to my week long sitter. Always sending updates and taking extra care of my 8 yr old Pittie Maxwell. Maxwell also gives a 5+ review!!!!”
“My dog is very picky about people, and has no problem being physically or verbally upset when she doesn’t like someone. Therefore, it was very telling that Nas went easily with Beverly upon handing her the leash on her second visit. Beverly is very professional and caring with my dog. She comes highly recommended from a very, very.... very picky puppy and (more reasonable) owner.”
“Dwight was great! He looked after my two pups while I was away on a family vacation. I could tell that he took the time to get to know both of them and treated them like extended family. He sent picture updates and was flexible with the drop off time. Next time I have to go out of town, I’m def booking with Dwight!”
“I recently boarded my Pomeranian named Chloe with Linde. Chloe had a wonderful time. I was sent daily pictures and messages. Chloe was well taken care of and Linde is a very nice lady. I will board with her again if the need arises.”
“Tashea and Dushan did an amazing job watching my 2 month old American Bully. I was nervous because it was my first time away from her, but they kept me updated with pictures and videos and she looked super happy in every single one. I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”
“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“We had a lot of events the last 3 weeks and they have been very accommodating to our families needs. We know when Fuchi is there he is cared for and has lots of fun. He gets to have extra love and fun with his extended family.”
“Very happy with Lisette. She responded very quickly and always sent an update everyday with a picture. I will definitely use her in the future! Thanks Lisette for taking good care of my Chewie!”
“Katrina is seriously the best!!! Truffles boarded with her over the weekend and she had the best time, cuddling and walking and playing. Katrina sent over multiple (adorably edited and captioned) pictures and videos throughout the day, complete with an end of day report card. I was totally at ease knowing Truffles was getting the best care :)”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
