“Amy and David were absolutely delightful, they took great care of our precious Bella. They sent us photos to reassure us that she was very comfortable with them and their home. Their home has a fenced back yard and Bella apparently couldn't get enough of it in and out all day. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for caring pet sitters. We will be requesting their service again. Thank you Amy and David.”


“Leia had a great time and settled in well. I really appreciated all the photos and the hydration drink for her during the hot weather too. Will be keeping Zenobia in mind for future stays for sure. Thank you.”


“Margaret is amazing! She was able to pet sit our dog and cat on short notice. She is extremely polite and easy to deal with. Good communication, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog and cat were well taken care of and seemed to enjoy their time. I will be hiring Margaret in the future and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Ben was wonderful with Wrigley! He sent us pictures every day so we could see how content Wrigley was. We hope Ben can take care of Wrigley every time we leave town.”


“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”


“Carina and Damian took such good care of Penny! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and they immediately made Penny and I feel at ease. Will definitely rebook with them for future trips.”


“Toby had a wonderful stay at Audrey’s. She was so accommodating, flexible and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit!”


“Isabella was great. Our dog came home happy and very well cared for.”


“We are a family who travels a lot, and we don’t have much help for family when it comes to our animals and one of our dogs is standoffish at first, meaning no boarding facility feels comfortable with taking her- we always had a friend who helped prior to her moving. After thinking we couldn’t travel anymore, we found Victoria. We scheduled a meet and greet the day after I requested a booking, and I immediately felt at ease. My two big girls stayed with her for a week, and during that week, I wasn’t able to get on the app so my friend had logged in and asked Victoria to message me on Instagram- which she did. Multiple times a day she gave me updates with pictures, and after my dogs, wet food ran out she had no problem allowing them to eat some of the food in her fridge (to which I tipped her at the end for the food used). I was a bit nervous on how one of my dogs would take on to her, but by the end she was so happy and Victoria was genuinely upset to see them go. Not only was Victoria an amazing dog sitter, but she also made me feel as if I have gained a new friend in my life. I will rebook her again and again, even on some days I feel like the girls could use all the attention on them. 10/10 service. Thank you, Victoria and we will see you again soon!”


“Chris took great care of my puppy in his home while I was away. He was very responsive to messages when booking and during my dog’s stay with him. He sent pictures and kept my dog very active and socialized during her stay with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again or recommend him to anyone else for boarding. Thanks Chris!”


“Ripley had a wonderful time at David's! She clearly had a lovely vacation as shown in the updates and pictures, which I very much appreciate.”


“very kind and informative, gave me updates on my two kitties that stayed with her while i was in the process of moving - and was super flexible on drop off and pickup times for me with the chaos of an unknown schedule!”


“Jasmine was great! She was very responsive to all my messages, and was able to accommodate my last minute booking request. I felt that Leo was in very good hands ☺️”


“We had a perfect experience leaving our pup in the care of Shawna & family. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for comfort while they're away. Great communication, happy dog, etc.”

“Ash and Abhi were really amazing with cooper they were sending constant updates and taking care of him like their own baby. They considered my special request to pick him up and drop him home. They were very keen on listening to his schedule what kind of a dog he is. And what he likes. They were also so quick in replying to my messages. I was very worried as he is with someone else for the first time but cooper was way too comfortable with these people. I would say i feel comfortable now. Thankyou so much for taking care of my baby and i totally recommend them for anyone.”
