1. Evelin C.

“Evelin was wonderful with Fletcher! Fletcher had the best time with her and her partner, and loves the dog park in their apartment complex! Evelin sent me lots of pictures throughout his stay and frequent updates. I would definitely have Fletcher stay with her in the future!”


2. Malena N.

“Malena and her son Gabriel took good care of our little guy! She sent several photos, texts and some video to keep us updated and to share how well he was doing. He was obviously enjoying himself while we were away on vacation. The photos of him out walking and playing in the snow were adorable! Some flexibility in drop off and pick up times was helpful. I highly recommend Malena.”


3. Yoki & Derek Z.

“Hazel stayed with Yoki and Derek for over a week and had a great time. I know that Hazel can be a handful and can demand a lot of attention at times. I felt like Yoki and Derek really understood Hazel’s needs and took very good care of her. I can tell that they treat all dogs in their care like family and that was wonderful to see. They are very generous and giving people. Their very big and spacious yard was great for Hazel to run around and play in. I also really appreciated the daily communication which was very important to me. I loved receiving videos, beautiful photos and updates on a daily basis and it gave me so much peace of mind and showed me that Hazel was well taken care of and was enjoying her stay. I’m very appreciative to Yoki and Derek for their work especially since I know this is not always an easy job to do.”

I was so grateful and felt lucky to have met them!”

As a fellow dog lover she’s the only person I would leave my pets with!”


17. Eunice H.

“Eunice was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him loads of attention. She took him on a bunch of walks which I really appreciated since he’s such a high energy dog. She provided a lot of updates and photos, usually ranging around every 4 hours or so. You could tell he was having the time of his life! I could rest easy knowing my dog was in such great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future when we’re in need of a dog sitter!”


18. Da Yeon E.


“Da Yeon and her partner took such great care of my very energetic pup, Cricket, while I was on vacation for over a week. Da Yeon checked in to make sure I was happy with the frequency of updates she was sending, and was super flexible and helpful when I completely botched our return time. There's nothing better than knowing fur babies are in good hands when traveling, and I can't recommend Da Yeon enough - thank you for everything!”

20. Julie Z.
“Julie is calm and compassionate with people and pets alike, which makes her an incredibly reassuring presence for both animals and their owners. She’s fair, friendly, and consistently responsive—qualities that have earned my complete trust when it comes to caring for my dogs. Julie takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and it shows in the way my dogs light up when they see her. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
