“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
“Yvonne and her family are just wonderful caretakers! Communication is awesome and the warm loving spirit is just what we are looking for. My dog is so happy to arrive and I can tell he wants to bring them home with us.”
“We left our dog with Alison twice and would definitely have her stay again. She was responsive and kept us updated. Would highly recommend and look forward to having her watch our dog again soon.”
“Xiaoxue was great. I'm always nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. She let us come over to visit before hand and kept in touch with any concerns and fun updates throughout the week.”
“Kira and Steve took wonderful care of Mabel. They sent numerous pictures of her with the other pups and a few check-ins throughout the weekend letting us know how she was doing. When we picked her up she was in good spirits and not overly tired (our Golden loves to play but also needs her rest!). We will definitely reach out again for future care.”
“We selected Hugo & Julia to board our black lab, Beau for 5 days. He had a wonderful time under their care. He stayed with other dogs and got to run and play outside with them. Hugo & Julia sent updates and pictures often of Beau having a wonderful time during his stay. We will definitely use them again when we need to travel. Highly recommended!!”
“Susan was an amazing caregiver to my dog while I was away. I was out of the country for 5 weeks which is s long time to be away from my boy!!! I felt completely secure and comfortable leaving Theo with Susan. I never worried and truly appreciated the pictures she sent and posted on FB as well. I highly recommend Susan and will definitely use her again when I have to leave my pooch in someone else's care!!”
“Thank you so much, Michiko and Cliff, for taking such incredible care of our Suki while we were away. Your love, patience, understanding, and daily updates made all the difference and gave us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for everything you did, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏🐾”
“Sydney did an excellent job transitioning Toven into her environment and into meeting other dogs. He can tend to have anxiety so that extra time and care made all the difference for him to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. She was also very loving and affectionate providing him the emotional support he needed. Sydney provided frequent communication, pictures, and videos to ease my mind. She exceeded my expectations and I very pleased with her care.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”
“Thalia cared for my dog, Cody, overnight for the first time. Everything went very well. He is an anxious little guy, but based on her photos and feedback, I believe it was a good experience for Cody. Thalia sent me lots of photos and updates which I appreciated. I would have her care for Cody again. Thank you Thalia.”
“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.”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“I needed a sitter for my pup, Picchu, at relatively last minute and Robert and his family were very accommodating and great! I took Picchu to their home for a "meet and greet" prior to my trip and it was very reassuring. I received updates and photos throughout her stay and I could tell she had fun with Robert's lovely and fun daughters! They clearly know what they are doing and love their doggie guests :). Highly recommend!”

Luna’s stay with Sara was absolutely amazing. She understood Luna’s anxious but very sweet personality and made her feel comfortable and at home. Sara was also incredibly accommodating when we had a last minute flight cancellation and worked with us so Luna could stay safe with her. We got daily updates and pictures which we loved. Sara was responsive, had great communication, and provided the best care possible for Luna. Highly recommend!!
