Anne Marie was fantastic! Gave us plenty of updates and we felt very safe and comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. The fenced yard was perfect and he was always tuckered out at the end of the day after running around with the other pups. Thanks Anne Marie ☺️
Chris and Amy and their family were absolutely amazing with Boston. Right from first introductions to pick up. Loved all photo’s and updates. Boston looked so happy and relaxed throughout his four days. It was obvious how much care and attention he received from the whole family. We will definitely be requesting chris and Amy again and would highly recommend to others. Such a great feeling when you have to leave your fur babies to know they are in safe loving hands.
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.
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.
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.
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!
