“Marie was great with our frenchie Dean. I can tell by the pictures she sent us that he was well taken care of and he made himself right at home. I will definitely leave him in her care again.”
“Britanny is wonderful. My dog was very unsure and combative when I took her to be boarded. We were not sure that we would be able to leave. Brittany was very reassuring and knew just how to sooth her (and me). It worked out so well and Kiwi really settled in and we were able to enjoy our week secured in knowing all was OK. Photos and texts daily were very reassuring. Thank you Britanny and family!”
“We are very pleased with the care Bianca gave our dog Marlo. We could tell that Marlo enjoyed staying with Bianca and her mom and felt at home. We would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Justin was amazing! He was able to come and do a meet-n-greet, pick Harley up, communicate and drop her off as planned. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very happy and I'd be excited to have her stay with Justin again in the future.”
“Our dog loves staying with Jieun! She is very professional and communicates in a timely manner both before and during visits, but most of all we know our dog is in great hands.”
“Katherine was kind, compassionate and attentive to the details of our dog’s care. I like that there weren’t lots of other dogs, and our Oscar got lots of one on one attention. Katherine sent a picture, video and update. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“The puppies had a great time, judging from the pictures Stephanie sent! She seems to have enjoyed them, too! I will happily call upon her again if I need a safe place for Kimchi and Josie to stay.”
“Malik kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone with pictures and updates! Our furry buddy was relaxed and happy, when we picked him up! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”
“This was our first time bringing Dexter to Ariel's home. He was there for 10 nights. He had a great time with Ariel and her family. We received pictures every day from her showing Dexter socializing and playing with the other dogs she was also boarding. He got to play outside and run around in her gated areas in their yard which Dexter loved. Ariel communicated with us throughout our trip and responded to my many check in's on how Dexter was doing. We definitely will bring Dexter to Ariel and her family again. Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Brianna was the best! Super communicative and thoughtful, and our dog had the absolute best time. Would highly recommend her and definitely leave our dog with her again!”
“Stephanie became a second mom to our Charlie. She gave him so much love and helped him acclimate very quickly and he felt comfortable right away. She was always quickly available to us and sent us multiple photos a day. I would more than highly recommend her as your future fur babies sitter. Thank you again Stephanie.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“So grateful for Nadjeska! Last minute getaway and couldn’t take our four-legged boy with us. Nadjeska was willing to board him on such a tight deadline/notice. Great communication! Great picture updates! Smokey had a great time! Definitely a repeat in the future! Thank you”
“Gosh, where to begin? Our Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Howard, Kathy & Victoria that after 2 weeks, I think she was reluctant to leave them & return home with us! They were so good at keeping us posted on how she was doing, including pics, which was very comforting for this mama who hates being away from her fur kid. They are truly kind and generous people, opening their home & hearts to pets that aren't theirs and my only hope is that when Lucy stays with them again, they will be available. They are THAT GOOD! Grazie mille, H, K & V!”
“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
“Second time my Callie was cared for by Bruce and it was another wonderful experience. By the pictures and communication from Bruce I could tell Callie was well cared for and happy. Thank you again Bruce for taking such exceptional care of Callie. I highly recommend Bruce.”
“Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter”
