1. Sam G.
“Our dog had a a wonderful stay at Sam's house: she was really well taken care of and clearly thrived. Our dog is lareday looking forward to her next furcation with Sam”
2. Maggie & Matthew
“Maggie was such a great dog sitter. She was very responsive, easy to coordinate with, shared so many photos and videos with us, and made sure to checkin about any treats since our dog has a more sensitive stomach. I appreciated how Maggie does an overnight test first before any boarding to make sure it would go smoothly. Our dog is on the more anxious side and it was clear that she got lots of attention and care. We brought her crate on Maggie’s recommendation which probably also helped get her more comfortable with a new place. We will definitely use Maggie again next when we’re out of town.”
3. Jose T.
“Jose is wonderful, and took such good care of our anxious pup. He was calm and communicative and went out of his way to make sure Louie felt comfortable. Thank you Jose!”
4. Randy A.
“Randy was awesome! He was very accommodating of my changing schedule and very responsive. He took care of my dobie Brooke well, as she came with a paw injury and required daily medication. He sent daily pics and updates. Booke can be a challenge cause she doesn’t like to share toys but Randy understood this behavior and knew how to moderate it while she was with other dogs. Overall I would totally book with Randy again and will recommend to a few of my friends.”
5. Bruce P.
“We're so happy we found Bruce for our little guy Renji. We left Renji with Bruce over the Christmas and New Years holiday break and it was a great experience overall. Bruce is incredibly easy to communicate with, quick to respond to pings and messages and was willing to take time to meet our pup in advance of the stay - more than once. We could tell Renji was having a great time from the daily pics and updates. In fact when we picked him up yesterday he was slightly depressed, he must have been missing his playmates. We'll definitely go back to Bruce in the future.”
6. Betsy & Brian D.
“Betsy and Brian took great care of our little dog. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and loved all the updates while we were away. Thank you!”
7. Kennia R.
“Kennia was a fantastic sitter for Riley. She took great care of her and made sure that Riley’s needs were being met. Cleaning her twice and providing regular updates, I was was very happy with the experience. I would highly recommend Kennia for anyone who is looking to have their puppies taken care of”
8. Ashma B.
“Ollie LOVES staying with Ashma. He happy whines when he sees her when I drop him off and he is always worn out in the best way when coming back home. I made a couple extra care requests for Ollie’s care this last stay (3 nights) and she didn’t even flinch. I appreciate she sends pics and videos and if I have questions she promptly gets back. She is very personable, warm, and friendly and I absolutely trust when he is in her care he is definitely very well loved on and a very happy boy. 🖤”
9. Taylor S.
“Taylor was so sweet with my boy and great about communicating and sending pics and videos. Early clearly enjoyed his time and was well cared for.”
10. Carol & William Y.
“William and Carol are amazing! I needed a last-minute sitter for a week and they were both so kind and flexible in setting things up. They were generous at the meet and greet, patiently coaxing Axel for over an hour with gentle attention and high quality treats. My sweet boy has some trauma from his previous owners, and they were both very understanding and adept at making Axel comfortable during his stay. Even though I was on a mountain with poor phone service and wasn't able to respond, they sent consistent and many photo and video updates which I really appreciated. They treated Axel as good as if he was their own, and I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch Axel. I highly recommend them to anyone, esp if your pup needs a little extra care! Thank you both so much!”
11. Jamie Y.
“Jamie gave us regular updates and our dogs were well taken care of. Would 100% recommend Jamie as a sitter and we will happily have Jamie take care of our pups again!”
12. Elissa S.
“Thanks so much, Elissa, for taking such great care of Solo! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell that Solo had a ton of fun and felt very comfortable around Elissa and her family :)”
13. Christine & Mark C.
“The best. Incredibly warm and friendly. Took very good care of my senior dog, Sophie, who needed medication every 4 hours. And we’re flexible when I requested an extension on Sophie’s stay. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
14. Ingyin M.
“Can’t recommend Ingyin & her partner enough! They took such great care of our dog, Cheddar. He is very anxious when he meets new people and they were so patient with him - by the end of his stay, he was fully out of his shell and so happy. Ingyin sent us plenty of photos, videos, and updates of them playing and hanging out, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. We plan to book with them again in the future :)”
15. Renee & Christopher L.
“Renee and Christopher took excellent care of Bear during his recent stay. They were very caring and attentive to our senior dog and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
16. Justin Z.
“Justin always takes great care of my dog! She is always happy to see him when I drop her off. Justin sends regular updates on how she is doing and is always timely with dropoffs and pickups.”
17. Cesar C.
“Leaving Dobby with someone we didn't know was a bit scary, but Cesar made me feel very comfortable, assuring me that he had a lot of experience with rescues that have "quirks" just like Dobby. I couldn't be happier with the result. Cesar sent me photos and daily updates on Dobby- who seemed to be doing great. Upon return Dobby was very happy and tired from his daily walks to Dolores. He has never looked so comfortable around someone he just met! I am thrilled that I've found someone I can trust will keep my boy happy and well cared for. I highly recommend booking- 5 stars!”
18. Betty & Chase L.
“Betty and Chase were awesome with Marley! They shared daily photos and he was surely enjoying himself. I think I even saw a big smile. Bonus - he made a new fur friend :) Thanks again for taking such great care of our fur baby!”
19. Maria C.
“My girl Beadie (7 years old, 9 lb, very timid) recently with Maria for nine days, and it went so much better than I was worried about (I'm a worrier, and this was only the second time we left her and the first was only two days). She was incredibly communitive, sent us a ton of updates (pictures, videos, and words), treated our girl in the way she's comfortable with - taking it slow, not crowding her, etc. Maria's dog Sparky was probably a little more high energy than Beadie would have liked (what she prefers is very low, so this definitely isn't saying Sparky is crazy high energy), but they definitely got along and I wasn't concerned about that. She was also very flexible when we missed a flight and needed to leave her for an extra night. All in all, I highly recommend. I really don't like leaving my girl at all, but I was much more comfortable with Maria taking care of her than I expected or even hoped.”
20. Christy C.
“Christy is a kind and reliable dog sitter. She sent me updates throughout the day, and my dog came home super happy. I highly recommend her!”
