“We had a great experience with Allan as our dog sitter for our Australian Shepherd mix, Rhea. Despite Rhea being a bit anxious and wary of new people, Allan’s calm and experienced approach put her at ease right away. He took her for a walk as soon as we dropped her off, which was a great way for them to get to know each other. Allan was incredibly responsive throughout the booking process.

It was our first time away from him as he’s still a puppy and we were regularly updated in what Eddy was up to which made us feel a lot better and at peace with leaving him behind for vacation. They took him for lots of hikes and and also had a big backyard to play in all day! I know it wouldn’t have been easy as he’s an energetic pup that gets into a lot of things but they handled it well and with ease. Such good communication and very compassionate. Thank you so much”

Thank you so much for taking care of Tony for over one month-he was so happy with the whole family. Also thanks to Amy for cooking beef stew for Tony🩷
Basak took great care of my dog. This was Redwood's second stay with her, and I was grateful to feel at ease knowing my dog would be healthy and happy in her company.
Jody was wonderful! She took great care of Poppy, sent lots of updates and photos. Would 100% recommend. Thank you Jody!!
Rebecca was incredible! Really responsive and sent lots of photos. She took Pretzel on lots of adventures, and Pretzel loved playing with Kevin the whole time. She was totally exhausted when we picked her up. We’ll definitely be booking with Rebecca again!
Heather and her beautiful family were amazing with our Salty. Took her for long walks, sent lots of pics and were very patient with her foibles! Highly recommend
Holli and Sean were amazing sitters for Charlie. The twice daily updates and photos and the obvious care and attention that were extended were fantastic. Holli was very professional to deal with and a great communicator. Charlie came home happy and content. I would not hesitate to recommend Holli and Sean.
Mousse loved her visit with Sarah and Mateo. From the intro call to the goodbye, I felt confident that my dog would be well-cared for. Thanks!
This was our fur baby's first night away. Tessa had a gentle welcome and made the transition of drop-off for our pup pretty stress-free. She provided a video update and pictures that gave us peace of mind, knowing our pup was having fun playing and was at ease in a new environment.
Amazing! We needed Bruce taken care for the Iron Man weekend. He looked like had so much fun. Especially swimming in the ocean. Would definitely recommend and use Kiyara again!
Anqian had our pup Millie and my parent's dog Jeeya for four days and we couldn't be happier with how well she took care of them! She obviously understands dogs very well and is patient and gentle with letting them settle in and working with their quirks. Both of them didn't quite want to leave when we picked them up and we could tell they had a relaxing stay with enough adventures to keep them tired. We'll definitely turn to Anqian again for any future stays!
Tannis was an amazing dog sitter for Tucker. She updated us the entire time we were away with photos and notes about how he was doing. We could totally relax knowing he was eating, enjoying time outside and snuggling up inside. She took amazing care of him and so did Bubba, her sweet little dog. Bubba is a very welcoming host as well - Tucker has made a new friend. I would highly recommend Tannis to look after your beloved pets.
Andrea saved me and my trip to Mexico! My usual dog sitter got sick, so I was desperately trying to find another one three days prior to the trip. Andrea was responding to my texts very fast and was ready to help right away. I was very anxious to leave my dog with a new dog sitter, but everything worked out! She was able to calm her down during the first stressful hours and kept me updated every day. I could fully enjoy my trip:) Thank you!!
We left our two dogs ( a golden retriever and a Xolo) for three weeks. We got pics every day. Best thing is that the dogs were in the nest of a family , in their home and were totally happy and relaxed when we picked them up. This made our vacay so much better! We will definitely be booking with Monica and Marlon again.
Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.
Ramesh was great to communicate with, before and during my dog’s stay. I enjoyed getting photo updates and knowing my dog was in good hands! Thanks Ramesh and Lauren!
Really satisfied with this sitter. My dog was well taken care of, and Clod-Orfée was a pleasure to communicate with.
Thank you Ryan, Lora and their wonderful family for looking after our dog Mango during Christmas this year. Mango was well looked after and the communication with Ryan was great. We were getting multiple updates with photos everyday. We would recommend them to anyone who needs loving family too look after their dog.
Rachelle and Dane were amazing with Marvin! They took him on numerous walks, had treats and toys for him, and gave him lots of attention. He even ate while there, which he usually saves for the evening when we settle for the night and never eats for others because he’s usually an anxious little boy. When I picked him up, he was so comfortable that he continued to play with his toy in the living room. He would have gladly stayed longer. Definitely a 10/10 + experience. Will be booking with them again in the future!
Bruce had a blast playing with Kumo. Alyx was responsive and sent photo updates. The whole boarding was as smooth as it gets and we would definitely book again with Alyx!
Stacey kept my active pooch safe while we were away for 5 nights, and I was very grateful for her excellent care. Before we left my dog in her care for the first time, she took the time for a meet and greet to answer questions, and make sure everyone was comfortable and would fit in. When we were away, she provided regular photos and updates. I came home to a happy and healthy dog - you can't ask more than that:) I would definitely recommend Stacey!
