“Scarlett took such a great care of Genie while I’m away!! Super responsive and lots of daily updates with cute photos. Genie had a great time! Thank you, Scarlett :). Will definitely come back again if there’s future needs.”


22. Sunisa T.

“Suni and her partner were amazing caretakers to our doggo, Lainey, while we were out of town! Suni always responded quickly to messages and provided daily updates on Lainey. In all the pics, Lainey was having the best time - whether that was napping or going on her many walks. Lainey was in loving and very capable hands. We will definitely use Suni in the future! Thanks so much!”




23. Christina T.

“Christina was awesome! This was the longest I’ve been gone from Nori and Christina put my mind to ease by sending me frequent pictures and updates. Nori had a great time and got along with Christina’s dogs very well. I highly recommend Christina for your fur baby needs :)”


24. Adriana P.


“I highly recommend Adriana for dog sitting/boarding! Adriana was proactive about understanding our dog's schedule and needs (as he is prone to seizures) and provided regular updates throughout our dog's stay with her. We really appreciated all of the photos she shared so that we could be reassured that he was comfortable and well taken care of. She was very responsive before the booking and throughout. We would love to have our dog stay with Adriana again in the future!”


25. Ivis S.

“Ivis was fantastic! Ivis and her family gave our dog Pepper so much love and attention while we were away. She sent us updates and photos and dropped Pepper off for us! Will definitely use her services again!”


26. Edward & Shyana H.
“Ed has been a Godsend! While dealing with health issues that made it very difficult to get out in the winter conditions, Ed came to the rescue. He cared for our 12 year old Cockapoo, walked her, had her over for play dates with his dog, feed her and created a wondeful relationship in general. I would recommend him to any and all for his caring approach to dogs; and their owners too! Mike G”


27. Hualong X.

“She was so sweet and sent so many photos. My dog Roman had a great time with her this weekend. He stayed with her for multiple nights and she constantly sent updates, fed him well, and took him out a lot. he had a great time. She was really easy to talk to , very sweet and had a great apartment.”




28. Lyn H.

“Lyn was great with my puppy Pixie-Fluff! She sent pictures, gave her cuddles, and made sure she got some exercise and outdoor time. Pixie Fluff can’t wait to see her again.”


29. Rebecca Y.

“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”


30. Princess & Maximillian S.

“Princess was SO great with my fur baby. She set up a video call very promptly and was highly communicative both before and during the visit. She also took him for an outdoor hiking adventure (with advance approval), so I know that he got plenty of exercise, love, and attention while in her care. Princess followed his care instructions perfectly, and I received photo/video updates daily while away! I would highly recommend Princess’ services and have added her as one of my favorites to find her easily in the future.”


31. Chloe M.


“Chloe was so great with Louie, he loved his stay! Chloe was very communicative and always sending pictures and updates! Will definitely be going back!”


32. Michelle C.

“Michelle and Michael took excellent care of our pup. They were very communicative and asked all the right questions from jump. You know your dog had a good time when they don't want to leave. Highly recommended!”


33. Nicholas D.

“Nick was great and was able to take Theodore in last minute as i was going out of state!! And Teddy took to him right away! He sent me videos and updates of how Teddy was doing during his stay. Overall, REALLY nice guy and accommodating. Thanks again Nick!!”


34. Lucy P.

“Once again Lucy was an outstanding dog sitter for Willow. She sent photos that really comforted me knowing that Willow was having a fun time playing and cozy time snoozing in the bed. Lucy has excellent communication and she is for sure my go-to dog sitter!”


35. Kathe E.

“This was my first time leaving my 3 month old puppy and I was so nervous. However, Kathe made me feel comfortable right away. She had such a warm energy from the moment I met her and she was immediately sweet with my little Hercules! While I was away, she gave me daily updates and pictures on how he was doing which made it so much easier for me. I would book her again and again if I could! Kathe is absolutely wonderful and so good with the pups. Hercules came back so happy, healthy, and well taken care of😊”


36. Phillipa M.

“Phillipa is such a lovely person, and was so attentive to our sweet Bobbie (who was very sad to be away from us!). Would highly recommend her.”


37. Alan & Ying C.


“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”


38. Saniya S.

“I was visiting from out of town and Saniya was extremely accommodating with my last minute request! My dog takes medication at very specific times and she would text and confirm when medication was given & when. Overall a very trustworthy, kind & easygoing person, and my dog seemed very relaxed/happy hanging out with her. I highly recommend and would definitely rebook when I come back”


39. Donna B.

“Donna was wonderful! She took great care of our puppy. We appreciated her updates and photos. He felt right at home with her and her dogs. It was nice to go away and know that Cooper was in good hands. We will definitely have him go back!”


40. Jieming C.

“Jieming and his wife are excitement with taking care of my dog and keeping me updated each day. They love dogs and have my dog plenty of walks outside and the move inside! Highly recommend them to ever.”
