“Beckett was well taken care of. Wenge and Changhe were very friendly and accommodating. Beckett had to taken to the EmergencyClinic for a problem that was not anticipated through no fault of Wenge and Changhe. They were prompt in recognizing the problem and took Beckett immediately. We are grateful for their care with our cherished pet. They were very loving with Beckett.”
“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“Eva and her family are very nice and responsible. She checked all the details, took great care of our dog and kept us updated with messages / photos and videos. She did such an amazing job that I’m almost worried my dog might want to stay with her instead of coming home with me!”
“Ashley watched Fig while we were on vacation. Fig loves going there and is so well taken care of and clearly loved! Thank you Ashley for always treating Fig like your own!”
“Alysha and her family took such great care of our dog. I received updates while he was in her care and we did not have to worry at all about his well-being. He was safe, happy, and loved during his stay.”
“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our dog Charley received from Emma and Victoria. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I felt comfortable leaving Bear with Priyanka. She provided me with lots of updates and photos. Bear and her dog, Link, got along very well and kept each other busy. Bear is very high energy and loves to be vocal sometimes so I appreciate that they were able to handle that and be okay with it. I fully trusted Bear and her care and was not worried. I would definitely board him again the next time it’s needed. Thanks so much for taking good care of Bear, really appreciate it!”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Sabrina did a great job boarding our senior dog Holly. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and texts. I would highly recommend Sabrina for any of your pet needs. Thanks again!”
“Cindy & Marc were fantastic in every aspect! Bodhi stayed with them for the first time this past week and he had the best time. Lots of attention and activity! Communication was great…updates and pictures sent throughout the stay. Will be looking to use Cindy & Marc in the future and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“Britney sent regular updates and photos about Oscar and Oscar had a blast spending the weekend with her, her husband, and Daisy, along with some other furry guests. Oscar will be returning for boarding :)”
“Madison and Jeffery were AMAZING with Beau. He’s pretty anxious and they sent updates and photos and he seemed to be very happy!!! I would 100% recommend them and will use them again!”
“Emi spent two weeks with Melissa, the longest she has ever been there. I don't think she missed us at all, as she was having such fun there. She considers Melissa part of her pack.”
“Third stay with Yani. Constant updates and pictures everyday, very accommodating and understanding, and very professional and talented. Thanks Yani! Oreo loves you.”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“Jason is the absolute best! We started with a meet and greet and right away. It was apparent he was a competent, responsible, loving dog owner. He welcomed my high energy puppy, Bo, with open arms. Bo boarded with Jayson for six days and I got daily photos and messages of all the fun things they were doing. I knew Bo was in amazing hands so I was able to have a relaxing and stress-free trip. I won’t hesitate to book with Jayson again!”

Amazing and very kind and caring lady! She has looked after our dear dog several times! We are so happy to have found her! Very professional, keep us updated every single day with texts, photos and videos of our dog, and took our dog for several daily walks. She also cared for our dog by giving her meds and food exactly the way we needed it her to have them. Overall I will totally recommend Carmen! And we hope to continue having her look after dog in the future! Thank you so much Carmen!
Behnaz is one of our favourite sitters and she just hosted our dog for two weeks. She took excellent care of her and ensured she got exercise tailored to her rehab program, had her medications and appropriate enrichment. She was very conscientious about details from the right amount for the weight loss diet our dog is (sadly!) on to monitoring her for other health concerns. We feel so much at ease when our dog is with Behnaz and would strongly recommend her. We even drove from out of town before a flight just to make sure our dog was in the beat hands for a long stay. Thank you for the love and care !
Dogs came back healthy and tired, it seems like the dogs had a great time. They asked great questions and had a pretty good intro routine set up at the dog intro which made us very confident leaving our dogs with them. Will definitely reach out about dog-sitting in the future!
Had a great experience with Jana and our 14 pound shihpoo. Jana is kind, attentive and responds quickly. You can tell she is a genuine pet enthusiast who has a wonderful setup in her home for you pup to feel safe and provided for. She took our pup on lots of long walks and made sure he had everything he needed.
Ranjitha is just amazing! Luna was at her place for about 10 days. And we were a bit worried as Luna has not shared a space with other animals before. But Ranjitha managed everything so well. Constant updates, even recommendations and questions. I would recommend Ranjitha to anyone looking for pet care.
They are great. We left Oreo with them for 3 days and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As expected, it took some time for Oreo to adjust to a new environment, but the care and patience they showed was amazing. They made sure he felt comfortable every step of the way, (even hand-fed him on a day when he needed that extra attention) and shared regular updates. They genuinely care about the pets they look after. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and caring boarding environment for their dog. Can’t thank you guys enough for the care and love you gave to Oreo. He’s a bit pampered, but you handled him with so much patience and kindness.
Christine was fantastic! Our dog has reactive behaviours and requires medication so we were nervous about leaving her with anyone but Christine is very comfortable and experienced with all dogs. We received lots of pictures and updates. She thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Christine and we look forward to returning.
Cole and Hanee showed my two German shepherds the kind of love and attention that parrelels my devotion for them. For 8 days they sent pictures and videos of them running in a fenced yard or multiple walks around the parks. Including giving my girls affectionate hugs and doing tricks. I highly recommend this couple to everyone.
