Quin loves her visits with Aliza! She’s happy to get there and I am sure is well cared for. I highly recommend Aliza, any hesitation in recommending her would be because Aliza may become too busy watching your dog to watch our own dog.

She was great; she took care of Bruce very well. He adapted to the other dogs really fast. She asked for all the instructions to take care of him and feed him on his schedule. I recommend Dr. Anna; she is really good. We are happy with her ; )

Jennifer is so relaxed and it’s clear she loves all dogs. My boy is an anxious guy and is a pup so needless to say he has a lot of energy. She welcomed him and took excellent care of him. She communicated and sent updates and when we weren’t able to pick up kept him for an extra day! I have already booked again for another weekend.

Bronwen was so wonderful with our puppy. We loved that she takes such care and consideration into how her and her pup caring and getting along with our dog would fit in with what we all need. We loved getting photo updates and we loved how she had a great yard for our pup to play in. We would definitely ask Bronwen again and hope our puppy would be welcomed back!

Cynthia and Dave were amazing with Zoey! This was our second time leaving her with them. She always comes home so happy and tuckered out from the best stay. The property is so amazing and the ideal spot for dogs that love to play and burn some good energy. Cynthia is so good at communicating and keeping me update during Zoey's stay. We never worry at all when she it with Cynthia and Dave. So grateful to have found them!

We can't thank Melanie and her husband enough for taking such great care of Obie, our 1.5-year-old Maltipoo, while we were off getting married. From the start, they were so kind and attentive to him and his preferences and were great at sending us regular updates, which gave us peace of mind during such a hectic time. It was clear that Obie felt right at home with them, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again—Melanie and her husband were absolutely amazing!

Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Alfonso was great with Stanley. This was his second time looking after Stanley who is a handful at times. He was great with communication, and pictures. He also advised he was eating his food great as we had to get a different one to due stock issues so we knew he was eating normal. He was great in communicating at the end of the stay how it went, and advised Stanley had a few instances where he was over protective with his toys, so we was aware ourselves. Stanley is looking forward to his next stay.

Shadi did an amazing job caring for our senior chihuahua mix. Our dog is on two medications a day and can be a bit finicky and slow to warm up to new people. She warmed up to Shadi within a couple days and clearly trusted her. Shadi provided regular updates with photos and asked us questions if anything came up. We would 100% book her again!

Linda was an outstanding pet sitter and can't recommend her enough. Right from the beginning, communication was responsive and clear. She was genuinely excited to host Stella and went out of her way to make sure she had a great visit - homemade treats, walks, comfy bed and she kept me updated throughout the sit with lots of photos of a very happy dog :) Will definitely be giving Linda a call next time we need a sitter.

Rocky couldn't have been in better hands! It was Rocky's first stay with Whitney, and they became friends almost instantly - a sure sign she has a natural way with dogs. She walked him every day, had fun at the park, and kept us updated throughout so we always knew how he was doing. That peace of mind meant everything. It's clear Whitney genuinely loves the animals in her care. Rocky came home happy, and we couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter for their fur family!

Where do we even begin — there are not enough words to express how thankful we are to Lisa. We booked boarding with her for our wedding, and she once again took amazing care of both Russ and Bandit. She even went above and beyond by bringing them to our reception venue for photos and then safely back home. Russ can sometimes have separation anxiety and, being blind, can be a bit more reactive — but Lisa handled him with so much patience, understanding, and compassion. She never held anything against him and continued to treat him with genuine love and kindness, which meant the world to us. We are so incredibly grateful for Lisa and the care she gives our fur babies. We’re also sorry for the delay in leaving this review — post-wedding life has been a bit of a whirlwind! Anyone who has Lisa as their sitter is truly lucky, and without a doubt, we would choose her again every single time. Thank you so much for everything, Lisa ❤️
