“Angela and Tommy are the best! Angela sent daily pictures of Dolly and provided updates which provided great comfort while we were away! Dolly had lots of fun and when she got home was a happy girl! So lucky we found her”
“Karina and her husband Jared are fantastic! This was our second time having them watch our dog, Nova, while we were away on vacation. Nova ends up getting her own vacation when staying at Karina & Jared's house! They always take such good care of Nova and Karina always gives us updates on Nova twice a day! We are so grateful that we found such amazing people to care for our pup when we are away! We (especially Nova) look forward to seeing Karina and Jared again soon! Thank you both so much for always being there and taking such amazing care of our Nova!! 10/10 recommendation!”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Haoran and would absolutely give her 5 stars. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful questions that made us feel confident and at ease leaving our dog in her care. Right after drop-off, she sent us a message with photos to let us know how our dog was settling in, which was incredibly comforting. Throughout the three days, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could clearly see that our dog was getting plenty of playtime, exercise, good food, and enjoying time with the other dog. When we picked her up, our dog was calm, balanced, and happy—which says everything. We would recommend Haoran anytime. She has a beautiful space with plenty of room for dogs to play, and she took excellent care of our dog while keeping us consistently updated, which we truly appreciated.”
“Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!”
“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”
“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”
“MJ was terrific with my 5 month old bordoodle puppy. She kept me updated about how he was doing during the week I was traveling, and sent me lots of pictures. I was extremely comfortable that MJ, a responsible dog owner herself, was taking great care of Nacho and treating him as one of her own. He got plenty of play time and love and snuggles. She also made sure to carefully introduce him to her three dogs- I think my puppy had a real vacation at her home! I was skittish leaving Nacho anywhere with other dogs due to a bad experience he recently had at a doggie day care, but MJ quickly put me at ease and clearly treated him wonderfully. Nacho has some new friends now! I would HIGHLY recommend MJ to anyone.”
“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”
“Allison was so great with our dog Wendy! Allison had no problem giving Wendy daily medication, and she sent regular updates and was so easy to communicate with. Wendy had a great time, and we were so relieved knowing she was in good hands while we were away! We won’t hesitate to use Allison again!”
“Estelle took excellent care of Frannie for the weekend. She was part of the family and I felt reassured and comfortable she was well taken care of and they enjoyed having her there. It is so nice to be able to leave town and not have to worry about your pet. Thank you, Estelle and family!”
“Adrienne took very good care of our baby and treated her as if it was her own. Our dog had a wonderful time staying with her. She sent lots of updates throughout the day which made us feel very comfortable. Thank you!”
“John was able to take our dog very last minute! Even though it was not planned, John was VERY flexible & accommodating. Our dog was allowed on furniture, had a full fenced backyard to play in, and had other furry friends to get energy out with. Thank you so much for treating our dog like one of your own!!”

Karina and Jared are the best sitters I found so far on this platform: always professional, polite, and are fantastic with my dog! They pay attention to details, very diligent, I love all the updates they send. I’m extremely happy I found them, would not use anybody else, and I have been their client for a few years already. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!
I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.
