“Anna is incredible. She took spectacular care of my 50 lb dog bay leaf. Long walks, plenty of play time, and frequent updates with cute pictures. Bay leaf came back so happy --she had a great time.”
“Alix is the best! She takes such great care of our dog and sends frequent updates. I can tell my dog loves being there and it’s just so nice knowing my dog is in such good hands. Thanks Alix!”
“Anh was awesome! She kept Barkley active, long walks, trips to the park etc. and send lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay. Great experience!”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Highly recommend! Sunisa was super accommodating and took great care of Koda. I received photos and updates daily, allowing me to have total peace of mind while away. Thank you!”
“Yizi sent lots of pictures, responded promptly to any questions. My small dog was very happy to arrive at her apartment and was well rested and content when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Dohwee (and his wife) were incredible with latke! We will absolutely be using them again whenever we can. We left latke for a week and got multiple updates everyday. Dohwee immediately informed me with any issues or questions about his routine. We got videos of his walks, fetch, and dinner time and the best photos! I felt extremely comfortable with Dohwee, and never worried about latke while he was there! 10/10 highly recommend!!!”
“Gil and Yerina are our go-to sitters for our pup! Our dog always comes back happy and they send pictures and videos without us asking and our dog is always playful and herself in them. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“When our normal boarding spot filled up for the holidays, we were rushing to figure out a sitting situation for Bella. Bella can be aggressive towards other dogs, so we were hesitant to leave her with someone new, however Winn seemed like the best sitter we could have asked for. Winn responded promptly, and we set up a time to meet beforehand; the whole thing effortless. Within seconds, Bella found a tennis ball and was sitting by Winn's side for pets. Winn sent us several photos during his time watching Bella, and it was clear that she was having a great doggie vacation! We'll be sure to reach out if we ever need a sitter again!”
“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”
“We've had Alan and Ying take care of our fur baby Mugsy a couple of times. They're great at sending pics and providing updates! Mugsy looks forward to spending time with them. We would highly recommend them as we will be using them again ourselves.”
“Emma was Great! She was so flexible and understanding in scheduling a meet and great as well as pick-up drop-off times. And, she sent us lots of excellent pictures and updates while we were away. Will 100% book again soon!”
“Steven took great care of our dog Graham for a three day stay. He sent us photos and updates throughout the stay and was very easy to communicate with.”
“Jeongeun was very kind with Thor. She took excellent care of him. Will book with her again, 100% recommended.”
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
“Qiang took very good care of my dog for 4 days while I was gone. He sent me a photo every day and was very good about communicating and responding to any questions I had.”
“Tyler took great care of our lab while we were away and sent a couple photos a day. He came back happy and cared for! We’ll definitely book with him again.”
“This is Mochi's first time with Natalie. It was great. We got several pictures of Mochi during her stay. Natalie was really responsive to messages and kept us informed. 5 stars for sure!”
