“Kripa is amazing. I got such timely updates, she made sure that my dog was well taken care of. I did not feel worried or stressed at all. And the care for my dog was so good, maybe too good, because my dog didn’t want to leave hahahaha. I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”
“Natalie and Daniel (and their kids) are the best! Constant communication and picture updates. It’s so relieving to be able to travel and know my boy 🐶 is in the best hands. Until next time!”
“Our husky Basha had a great stay with Xintian and family. Although he had some separation anxiety and some nervous behavior due to an encounter with a different dog in the days prior to him staying, Xintian and family were so patient and understanding with him and kept us up to date with pictures, videos and messages to keep our mind at ease! Would definitely recommend to have your dog stay here. They truly gave him a home away from home!”
“So communicative during my dogs stay with updates, can’t recommend enough. My dog can be stubborn with feeding when I’m not around and he was absolutely fine and super comfortable!”
“I had a fantastic experience boarding my dog, Leo with Bill and Norma. They were incredibly caring and attentive and shared photos. Leo had good amount of playtime and walk. He came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend them.”
“Charmaine, her bf and Luna were amazing with Ninja. They took great care of him and took a lot of pictures and gave me regular status updates. Would definitely recommend Charmaine to family and friends and use her services again. Thanks again Charmaine!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Allyson (& her daughter and 3-year-old poodle, Annie) take care of my dog, Lucy, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, it was clear that they had a genuine love for dogs. Allyson took the time to get to know Lucy, understanding her quirks and needs, which put me at ease right away. She asked all the right questions! During the time Lucy was with Allyson and her family, we received regular updates and adorable photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. She took Lucy on daily walks, played with her, and even provided a cozy spot for her to nap in front of her fireplace. It was evident that Lucy was well-cared for and happy in all of their company. Her daughter even let Lucy sleep with her at night! Returning home, I found Lucy relaxed and content, which is a testament to the care she received. I highly recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Lucy and I will definitely be reaching out again for future visits! Thank you for making my time away stress-free!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful to Shirley for the care she gave our dog Toby. It was his first time boarding and we were not sure how Toby would behave in a new environment but Shirley made us felt so comfortable and relaxed. Shirley provided updates and pictures regularly and reassured us how well Toby was doing. Toby got to spend a lot of time on walks and getting fresh air and had lots of fun with Shirley. I would definitely recommend Shirley and will look for her the next time Toby needs a sitter. Thank you so much Shirley for your help and the amazing level of care you gave Toby!”
“Mira and Charles did a great job with Thibault when we were away on vacation! Thibault seemed extremely happy with his stay and they took great care of him! We would highly recommend Mira and Charles!”
“This was the second time we left our dog Lucky with Kathryn and James for a week and everything has been great. We were very relaxed on our trip as we knew our dog was in good hands.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“Angela was very caring and attentive towards Turbo. She was great with communicating always responded very fast. Angela also sent pictures of Turbo throughout his stay so I can feel relax on my vacation.”
“Zoe was amazing with communication with us. We’ve never had our dog in any care prior to this & I felt very reassured & confident that our dog would be well looked after. I was worried about the 2 larger dogs as our dog had a bad experience with a larger dog at a dog park but her 2 dogs are so sweet & gentle. I would not hesitate to recommend using Zoe to take care of your fur babies!”
“Lindsay is the best dog-sitter you could ever hope for. She's looked after Leena, our labradoodle, twice: one long weekend, and a two week vacation. She sent regular photos and videos but that's not what makes her so great. What makes her wonderful is her love, care and concern for the well-being of the dogs in her care. This came across in our very first meeting, and in every interaction since. Thank you Lindsay!”
“Amrit was an excellent sitter for Kingston! Since it was his first time with Amrit she was very thorough at the meet and greet to make sure she had all the information required to take care of Kingston. He had quite a few things he needed such as ear drops, paw wipes and pill administration and she followed all the instructions perfectly. Amrit also provided updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. He had an amazing time with her and I know we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you!”
“Pearl had a great experience and got attached to Heli in a few days - that shows that Heli has taken good care of my dog. Communicating with Heli was very easy and she was always prompt with her responses. The private dog park in her apartment is also a big plus for dogs that love playing outside. We will definitely take help from Heli in the future.”
“Sy was so amazing with our little kitty ! She kept us updated throughout his stay and showed him so much love. He was so happy when we picked him up and we felt so comfortable while he was away! We already have a second stay booked with Sy. She is the best !!!!”
