“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”

“Claudio immediately connected with our dog! Communication was great and he took the time to learn about Cinder’s needs. She came back tired and happy and is looking forward to her next visit!”
“My puppy had another great stay with his Asian Aunties! He went on plenty of long walks and came home nice and relaxed. This time, he needed to take some medicine and Karen & Hisako did a great job making sure he took it as prescribed. He can't wait to for his next visit! Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Our dog Bean had a great time with Patrick and his dog Sophie. I was grateful for an opportunity to meet Patrick and Sophie ahead of time. Bean and Sophie seemed to have very compatible temperaments so I was confident they would get along. The pictures and updates Patrick sent while Bean stayed with him gave us comfort knowing that she was doing well during our travels. Thanks Patrick and Sophie!”
“Thanks Danielle for looking after Joe over the holidays! We felt very happy knowing Joe was safe and being cared for as if at home. Love the photos 😊 Will definitely use again”

“Reno had a great time with Ellie and Jurre, their cats, and the other dogs they boarded. We got regular updates, he had lots of different things to do, and they were patient with him during a lot of rain.”
“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Sherry went above and beyond to take care of Molly during her stay, including taking her to vet (which was quite a drive away) when her vet here in Berkeley was unable to see her immediately. She clearly loves animals and will do her best to care for them like her own pet during their stay. Five stars for her extra time and care to ensure the best care for our girl!”
“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”
“Emma and Curt were kind, reliable, flexible and communicative. They sent multiple reassuring pics of Chase looking content and well-cared for. I will definitely call on them the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“This was a wonderful place for my year old Havanese. There were two small dogs living there and she could play as much as she wanted to. They went above and beyond: combed her long hair, washed her bed and blanket and her stuffed animal, Lamb Chop. I will be using them again. There was a nice grassy backyard, but Leon also walks them several times a day.”
“Jaclyn and her family were wonderful with Ozzie, thank you!”
“Jeff & Beth are fantastic sitters! They sent us tons of photos and updates on our puppy. Our puppy had such a fun time in their enormous backyard, and she is genuinely tired out now, which is really difficult to accomplish. We’re so grateful to have found Jeff and Beth and definitely recommend them!”

I'm so glad to have Sherry as a sitter! She knows my dog and my dog is always happy to see her and Wolfie!
We were so lucky to find Eiko to help watch our senior doggy while we were away! She provided us with regular updates/photos and we could tell our doggy was in good hands. Thank you Eiko!
Keyla is really great! Takes awesome care of Cassie, sends lots of photos, and is flexible with dropoff and pickup.
Christa and Jesse were so communicative and easy to book with. They asked thoughtful questions and sent great pics through my pups 4 day stay with them. Would highly recommend.
Jisella was a great communicator, very easy to work with, and seemed to really enjoy time with our 2 year old dog! We would definitely work with her again!
Jennifer was very responsive and professional. Very warm and friendly, she was great with the dog. We loved the updates she sent during the stay.
Misa was an extremely warm and kind person. I instantly felt comfortable leaving my 13-year-old chihuahua with her for the weekend. Misa sent updates and photos that provided additional peace of mind. She was also timely and responsive and made the whole process simple. I highly recommend her as a caretaker for your pet.
A wonderful caregiver for our senior dog and she really cares about their well being. Photos and updates were sent every day.
Danielle and Joel are the best. I always feel comfortable with Chili staying with them on longer stays. He loves them and their dogs too!
Danielle was amazing! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and check-ins! I felt totally at ease knowing my pups were in such caring and capable hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Catherine took such great care of Cleo over the weekend! She sent many updates and pictures. I’ll definitely reach out to her next time I need a sitter :)
This is our dog’s second time with Denise. He likes her a lot - he gets the walks that he loves and we get a photo every day. He will definitely be staying with Denise next time we travel!
Jiayi was such a thoughtful and responsible sitter! She set up a meet-and-greet ahead of time to make sure her pup Pi Dou and Sigrun got along, and even jotted down notes on everything I mentioned. During the stay, she sent tons of cute photos, videos, and detailed updates every day, which I really appreciated. Her place is super well-equipped, and Pidou is such a sweet and friendly dog. I was so happy to see them played all day and getting tired out thru the videos. When my car broke down the day I went to pick up Sigrun, Jiayi even offered to drive me home. Truly went above and beyond. So grateful for her care!
Marty is a fantastic dog sitter! It was our pup’s second time staying at Marty’s and I can tell he had a great time. I can tell that Marty loves and understands dogs and appreciate his thoughtful approach to caring for our pet. His communication gave us a peace of mind while we’re on vacation. 10/10 would recommend!
Joann is an amazing dog sitter! My pup Spunky stayed with her for 11 nights while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning Joann was very nice, professional and attentive. She kept in constant communication sending me frequent updates, photos, and videos. Spunky looked happy in every photo and video whether he was out enjoying his daily walks or snuggled up getting all the cuddles he could ask for! It was clear he felt right at home with her. I truly had zero worries knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Spunky stay with Joann again. She will treat your dog like one of her own. Highly recommend!
They took great care of Bandit! Easy to communicate with and quick with updates. He looked very spoiled and happy when I picked him up.
Madeleine was incredible! So kind to our dog and communicative!! Also flexible when our flights were delayed- definitely will be utilizing her again.
Jessica took great care of our dog and two cats. Our dog enjoyed playing with her dog, and got lots of exercise. Jessica was very considerate and had great follow up. We will definitely call her again.
