“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”

“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”


“It was a true pleasure to have Mana & Kento care for my sweet 11 year old dog, Mana gave me helpful updates and was on top of her needs with medication and needing slower walks. I only needed one night but would feel completely comfortable to have my dog here for longer stretches in the future.”

“Rhea is super! She sends photos and updates everyday and was flexible with drop off/pick up times—which was so helpful when traveling. Marvin really enjoyed his time with Rhea and her family. He would love to stay again ?”

“Cheryl was great with our active 1 year old rescue pup. They had a great time at the park and we got daily updates, which was important since it was our first time away from our new family member. We’ll definitely rebook with Cheryl.”

“Angela provided my dog with exceptional care! I would highly recommend her services for walks or boarding. My dog came home healthy and happy and Angela responded attentively to any of the questions or concerns I had prior to boarding.”

“Laura is a rare find! We felt super comfortable leaving out 5 month old puppy with her. She cared for him with so much kindness and love. Her communication was excellent and her home/yard is the perfect setup for dog sitting. Laura sent us daily updates on how Lando was doing and we never worried about him. She asked lots of questions about feeding, exercise, temperament, special things about him, etc. We also did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good match. We would 100% use Laura again. Highly recommend!!”

“Phillip was an amazing sitter and we could tell Frankie had the best time! It was so good that it was kinda tricky getting her to leave 😂 😭 We would absolutely book with him again and anyone should feel great about leaving their pup with these dog lovers!”

“Rebecca and Rebecca’s partner, Skylar, were absolutely fantastic. Despite booking on short notice, Rebecca and Skylar did an amazing job at taking care of our older dog, sending updates, and showing her love and affection while we were gone. They were also awesome at following instructions! I highly recommend them!”

“They were amazing with Celine and totally willing to take care of her senior dog needs. They were also very flexible with me when the trial I was working settled and I was able to come home early. Celine probably would’ve preferred to stay and sniff their amazing backyard! Absolutely will bring her back if they’ll have her :)”


“Cathleen took excellent care of our dog. Pictures and updates multiple times a day. Excellent fast easy communication. Cathleen was also so helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed. Will use again!!”

“Elena was great! She kept us updated and provided photos throughout the stay. Our pup was tired and happy when we picked him up. We look forward to booking with Elena again.”

“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”

“So great with her!! My dog is pretty anxious but he was so kind about it, and she warmed up to him quickly. He even took her to a dog park and from the videos he sent they had a blast. Would definitely book again!”

“Tiffany was awesome! She gave cal plenty of play time, and sent me updates regularly. She clearly has a passion for animals, and her house is a haven for my #1 guy”

“Makenzie was amazing! She took great care of Simba. He’s a high-energy Brittany Spaniel who needs plenty of exercise, so it meant a lot that she took him on long walks every day, plus a bath and plenty of cuddle time. You could tell he was tired and happy every time she sent an update. She read all my notes carefully, followed his routine (including the crate at night), and gave him her full attention the whole weekend. She was also super responsive and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and she sent photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was out of town. Simba clearly loved her, and honestly I think he was a little sad to leave! I'd book Makenzie again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“Ori had so much fun with Liyun! She was very communicative and took him on some really good long walks. Not to mention the super adorable photos she took! We will definitely have Ori stay with her again. If you are looking for a good staycation for your pet, look no further!”


“Andrea was amazing with Sunny and made her feel so at home! She looked cozy and had so many places to relax, and I got tons of picture updates throughout the weekend. I would recommend her to any pet owner!”

Great communication. Provided pictures of Leo during his stay and he always seemed happy. He has a touchy stomach that requires Rx food, which he hates. They stayed strong and didn't give him any improper food (oh, we would know when he returned). Lots of updates too.

Laura was great with Frankie! It was the first time she'd stayed with someone outside of family in many years, and she clearly felt safe with Laura. Laura both kept Frankie's routine but was flexible with how my senior girl was feeling each day. I would certainly have Frankie stay with her again.

Excellent communication before, during and after the stay. She sent some of the best photos of my pup that I’ve ever seen. Stephen seemed happy to trot off with her- didn’t even look back- and cried for her when we drove away. It’s a plus that she’s right by Greenlake, a place Stephen loves. Satisfied customer!

Kathryn provided great care for our dog Jim while we were out of town. She was very professional and communicative and took excellent care of our boy. I could tell Jim was safe and relaxed with her. It was our first time away since moving to the area and I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands with Kathryn! I would definitely recommend her.

The care that Julie provided caring for our toy poodle, Paisley, was extraordinary! The best!! Fantastic and timely communication from the start and throughout. So grateful for all the snuggles, walks, love and conscientious attention she gave to our little Paisley. Paisley had the best time!!!

Belle took amazing care of our senior dog and was very communicative! She was responsive, asked great questions when meeting us, and it was clear how important our pup’s comfort and happiness was during her care! Even with some last minute changes to the plans, Belle worked with us to find a solution that worked for us and, most importantly, our dog.

We enjoyed working with Chris for the first time and feel like our dogs were well taken care of during their stay! Both of our dogs have unique quirks and take medication, so it was very nice for us to see them cared for so well. Our pups will be back for Thanksgiving!
