“Natalie and Edward took great care of Buju. They sent pictures daily and were easy to communicate with throughout Buju’s stay with their family. From what I could tell, our dog was treated as their own and he was safe and happy at pick up.”
“Andy was so accommodating and kind when we had a surprise emergency. We felt happy and at peace knowing Spencer was in good hands. It seems like Spencer got a lot of love and care at Andy’s. Highly recommend!!”
“Anne Marie was so great with Chespi! She was available to do a meet n greet before our time although she was extremely busy. My dog doesn't always cuddle with a sitter on the first night, which assumedly means she's trustworthy and caring. I'll definitely rebook again.”

“This family is amazing. My dog warms up to them so well and they take such good care of her. I always feel in touch with how she’s doing because they send a ton of pictures, and detailed updates on what her day was like. They have an adorable little pup too, and are definitely dog lovers at heart. Highly recommend booking a stay here!”
“Bridges watched my dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!”

“Yoshiko was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog, Chingiz! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule, and we so appreciated her constant communication, including all the wonderful photos and updates she sent. It was clear Chingiz had an amazing time with her – she was genuinely sad to see her go! We would highly recommend Yoshiko to anyone and will definitely book her again. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Stephanie is a very caring and conscientious pet sitter. She was very sensitive to the needs of my dog and she took really good care of her. She was also forthright about posting pictures and updates about my dog on a regular basis. She went out of her way to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable. I would not hesitate to use her services again. She was invested as a dog boarder and walker. She’s an excellent communicator, too.”
“Brianne did a great job with Koda. He was comfy and happy at her house, he got along and enjoyed other dogs and was sorry to leave. Brianne sent daily updates and was super collaborative throughout. I would highly recommend Brianne; she is five star!”
