Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!

My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!

Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.

Our dog Maya had a great time with Lynne! Lynne kept us posted on Maya’s activities and sent photos on a daily basis. Maya looked like she was having a great time. Lynne was easy to communicate with and responsive to all of our questions and requests. You can tell that she truly cares about the pets in her care. Thanks, Lynne!

Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.

Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

Kristine is amazing! She’s boarded our dog multiple times now and she does the best job! She is always communicative and sends tons of photos daily, which gives such great peace of mind that our dog is happy and having a great time while we’re away. She takes such great care of him, talking him on walks all over the city. Our dog loves staying with her and I can’t recommend her enough!

Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.

Xiaoyuan and William were wonderful dog sitters while I was out of town! They shared pics and videos regularly, were incredibly responsive to my messages, and clearly made such an effort to keep my pup active and happy! He came home clearly having had a great time. Will definitely book again!

I cannot recommend Jo & Adam highly enough! They took wonderful care of my senior dog, Pippi, for 4 days and 3 nights and made the entire experience completely stress free. They were incredibly communicative, always available, and sent lots of updates and amazing photos throughout her stay. In fact, some of the photos they took are among my favorites ever of Pippi. Most importantly, it was obvious that Pippi was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She came home relaxed and content. Knowing she was in such loving and capable hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without worrying about her. I would absolutely book with Jo & Adam again and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Pippi!

For two weeks Grace and her boyfriend Dario took wonderful care of my dog! They provided daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. She gets sad and anxious when we are separated and they showed her love and patience. They helped administer medication when she got scared during a thunderstorm. I would 1000% recommend to take care of your pet!

Gil was great! He looked after our 55lb hound mix for a full week. He was super communicative and sent proactive updates and photos throughout, so we were never worried about her. She also clearly had a great time based on how she was when we got her home (and based on all the photos, which showed lots of pets, playtime, and activity). She was happy and healthy and we would definitely book with Gil again in the future!
