“Karin was so easy to communicate with and very flexible with drop off and pick up. She sent us regular photos of Charlie so we could see him having a good time at her place. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Lindsey is amazing and took incredible care of our boy. He played sooooooooo much! He fell asleep as soon as we walked in the door. 5 out of 5. Would like and subscribe if I could. Amazing.”
“Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!”
“Emily was very happy to have some pet pals. Linda’s Pet Inn is so inviting. Very clean & cheerful. Also secure high gate. Linda is calm & caring. Her own puppies are sweet. Very nice vacation place for my dog.”
“Chelsey was fantastic! My dog loved her and her dogs, and looked sad when it was time to go... Feeding raw was no problem; she had freezer space and room in her fridge for defrosting. Chelsey was a great communicator and sent daily photo updates of their hiking and ocean adventures. I'll be sure to ask Chelsey to take care of my dog again. 10/10”
“Our 13 year old Ruby stayed with Maryanne overnight. Maryanne sent text and photo updates to let us know the dog was doing alright. Ruby enjoyed the backyard with their dog. Unfortunately, Ruby made a mistake on the area rug! So sorry about that.”
“Amy has taken excellent care of Arlo. He returned a very happy dog, because he received good attention from both Amy and her daughter. He was out at the dog park, which he loved!”
“A big shout out to Sylvie-Ann and Stephane for the wonderful care of Huxley. Huxley has a few little issues and they made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their little Yorkshire Lilou (4lbs) and my 95lb Pitty cross enjoyed each other’s company. Lol. Thank you so much for taking care and hope to see you soon.”
“Amy was exceptional in taking care of Leroy during his stay with her. His leg was bothering him and she took his lead and adjusted their activity together to accommodate him. She sent pictures of them spending time at the beach, and updated me on his condition. I knew he was in good hands. I am so appreciative for her gentle, knowledgeable care. I highly recommend Amy!”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with Leela! We could not have asked for a better sitter while we were away for a couple of weeks. She gave us updates with pictures and videos every day. She was responsive, attentive and you can tell she really loves caring for your pup!! Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Sara !!”
“Amazing! This was my first time leaving Lucca with a pet sitter and so I was fairly nervous. Haley and Mark were amazing. Lucca needs at least 3 or so good walks/runs each week to be at his best and Haley and Mark delivered! I received regular updates with pictures and Lucca looked so happy. I also worried that Lucca could come home with some undesirable new behaviour but Haley and Mark were respectful of the rules we have for him and Lucca came back to us just as we left him. Haley and Mark are great. I highly recommend them and I will certainly consider them.firat if I need a dog sitter again.”
“Very pleased with Marcy’s service and care of our pet! So nice to have a fenced yard with lots of playmates for our dog. She came home very happy, well fed and in good spirits. Marcy kept us connected with lots of photos and videos too.”
“Ting and her family were the absolute best caregivers for my golden, Fisher. She updated me daily about his adventures and it was evident that she loved him as she loves her own dog Cookie for the two weeks Fisher was with her. We have already booked two additional stays with Ting and know Fisher will be excited to go back.”
“Heather was great about getting back to me in a timely manner for planning last minute, and sent lots of photos of my pup for me. It looked like Dolly had a great time there and appeared to be very comfortable when i arrived to pick her up, really appreciate the help and will be using Heather again in the future!”
“Janice was great for our dog who had never stayed with a dog sitter before. She even cared for her sore foot much more than we would have expected. Definitely would take Cocoa back here.”
“Fantastic stay with Kelsey and her family :) Frankie was super friendly and gave all the space that Jammy needed. Kelsey kept us updated regularly. Will definitely recommend Kelsey! Thanks so much Kelsey”

This was Abbey’s first time staying with Kristine and from the moment she met her and her husband, she took to them like they were old friends. We received daily updates and photos over the course of her one week stay, and Abbey seemed to do very well in their care, with lots of long walks and time in the fenced backyard. We would definitely use Kristine’s services again!
