“Ashley and Kelvin are awesome! It was my pup’s first time boarding and she’s normally quite shy around new humans so I was quite worried, but she warmed up to A & K right away! Ashley sent so many pics & videos throughout my pup’s stay, and took her out for her favorite ball activities despite the winter rain & cold — thank you Ashley & Kelvin for taking such good care of Hana so that we could have a stress free trip! Also their pup Charlee is the sweetest!! :)”
“We had to find a place for our very young puppy as we had a pre booked trip we couldn’t change. I was very hesitant with any boarding service as we’ve had previous bad experience on Rover with our older dog. But Si Yu was amazing!!! He took the time to explain everything to us when we were dropping her off, and quickly got our puppy used to him and his lovely family! We loved the daily photo updates. We were rest assured throughout our entire 5 day trip from the moment we dropped her off to pick up. We knew she was in great hands with a loving family. I couldn’t recommend anyone better to trust your pup with!”
“Maye and Frank were great! Despite Bud only being there for a night, I have no hesitation booking them again and recommending Maye and Frank to others. I received many photos of Buds adventures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. They also followed Buds feeding schedule to tee. Thanks again!”
“Joanne and Glenn were amazing!! They were so patient with my pup and helped make her feel welcome and comfortable. They updated with pictures and video throughout the day and kept me informed on how she was doing. I felt so comfortable leaving Chai with them and could tell how well cared for she was. Thank you both ☺️”

“Derek is a rockstar pet sitter, he took care of our husky and not only gave her wonderful walks and care but also plenty of enrichment and cuddles! We've never had Whiskey run into someone's house like that when we dropped her off! One of the best experiences we've ever had, we couldn't recommend Derek enough :)”

“Rui has been fantastic to deal with. She was very attentive to my dogs needs while I was away on vacation. My dog has anxiety and requires medication and she was able to provide his medication as required in a timely manner. I appreciate the daily updates and knowing that he was in good hands. Would not hesitate to rebook with Rui if the need arises.”

I highly recommended Jin! She took wonderful care of Gucci while we were away for 2 weeks in Spain. Jin sent the cutest pictures and in every one, Gucci was literally smiling and busy doing her favourite activities! At first I was a bit worried leaving her for so long but Jin’s place quickly became like a second home for our doggie. Thank you so much for loving our little Gucci! Next trip we will definitely book Jin again!!
Hector and Jeanette are amazing as always! We left our pup Aki with them for two weeks while we were traveling, and they took such great care of her. They consistently sent us updates, adorable photos, and hilarious narrations of Aki’s day that truly made us smile. It’s so reassuring to know that Aki is in such good hands, honestly, it feels like she’s on her own little vacation too! We’re so grateful for the love and attention they give her every time.
Always a pleasure leaving my little nugget, Ida, to stay with Anna while I travel. She is the most attentive, caring and communicative sitter! She really understands the needs of individual dogs and is always attentive of their quirks and personalities. Thank you, Anna, for all that you do! :)
Absolutely the Best Dog Sitter We Could Have Asked For! We were so lucky to find Siyu. I was incredibly nervous leaving our senior dog, Ollie, who is almost 15 and needs a lot of special care — from specific meal instructions to daily medication and general support for his elderly needs. Siyu exceeded every expectation.She cared for Ollie with such attentiveness, patience, and genuine love. Not only did she follow every detail we provided, but she also kept us completely at ease with frequent updates, including plenty of photos and videos that showed Ollie relaxed, happy, and in the best hands possible. Siyu is truly a gem — trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly capable. I honestly don't think we could have found anyone better to care for our beloved pup. We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again!❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog Roo! She was recovering from an ear infection during her stay, and they took such wonderful care of her—administering her medication, walking her daily, and making sure she got lots of playtime and cuddles. Roo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. It truly felt like she was treated as part of the family. We’re so grateful for the attention, communication, and warmth, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!
I was fortunate to have Helena look after my puppy for a day. She was caring, attentive, and showed a lot of affection toward Dior. She’s great with dogs and even helped teach my puppy some good behavior. She also kept me updated by sending texts and photos every two hours, which I really appreciated. I’m very pleased with the care she provided and will definitely return to her in the future.
Our little Kismat had the best time with Sara! All day we recieved pictures and videos of what Kismat was up to which made us miss her a little bit less! Sara was great to deal with from the beginning to our pickup of our dog! Would definitely recommend Sara and look forward to using her services again!
