“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“I recently had Jieun look after my dog and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure Skippy was well cared for and comfortable. Skippy can be reserved with new people, but he quickly warmed up to Jieun. Communication was another standout aspect of the stay. I received regular updates and great photos of Skippy having a good time, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that Jieun genuinely cared about Skippy’s well-being. The level of attention and care Skippy received was outstanding. I highly recommend Jieun if you need someone to care for your pet. Skippy and I are both incredibly grateful for the exceptional stay!”
“Howard,Kathy and Victoria took exceptional care of our Rocky . We were so nervous about leaving Rocky as he is a rescue and had finally come out of his shell. Rocky required tons of love, affection, and walks. We and Rocky were not disappointed. Howard and his family are so warm, friendly, and loving. They are animal lovers, kind people, and very accommodating and attentive. We received wonderful updates and pictures of Rocky. It was comforting to know that Rocky was in such a loving environment with great people. They accommodated all of Rocky's quirks and needs. I highly recommend Howard, Kathy, and Victoria to watch over your furry loved one when you need to leave them in a home in which you can take comfort in the knowledge that they will be loved and cared for. You and your furry loved one will not be disappointed! I would rate higher than 5 stars if you would allow it!”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“True dog lover, just the type of person you want caring for your fur baby! My dog was well cared for, pampered and loved. She was proactive contacting me with a concern about my dogs health, which I truly appreciated. Definitely can recommend and will book with her again.”
“Brianna was very accommodating to my dog's health needs and to drop off and pick up changes. It's clear that she cares deeply about the wellbeing of both her own and her boarder dogs. My dog had a great time playing with her dog and getting lots of snuggles!”
“I highly recommend Malik for pet sitting. Hoyt and Roseau, my grand-pups received all the care and attention they needed. Malik was prompt with his responses and updated me the entire time I was out of town. That was extremely comforting. This was the first time the pups were away from family and home and they will be ten years old this October! After our meetup and conversations, I never worried a minute while I was out of town. I knew through his updates and pictures, he had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that my pups could maintain their routine, (and medication,) while away from home. Since my children moved, travel for me has been a no-go. Thanks to Malik that has changed. I am forever grateful.”
“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Ariel and her family! We received updates and photos throughout their stay and Ariel was very accommodating and flexible when we had to change our pick-up date. Two thumbs up!!”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Jasie enough! I had a last minute situation and she was able to help watch my cat, Mika, at her place for 2 days. She gave me updates and sent lots of pictures of Mika, which made me feel loads better that Mika was in good hands. & clearly Mika had a blast because she didn’t wanna leave! #1 cat sitter in New Haven :) thanks again!”
“Zuleima did a great job of taking care of my dog for a weekend trip. She sent me lots of photos and her children were extremely kind to my dog which I appreciate. She also responded super fast to my request, so I highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“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.”
