“Rie is the only sitter I will leave Bradey with! As soon as we pull up to her home Bradey gets so excited to see Rie and May and never even looks back at me to see if I’m coming with! This is how I know without a doubt how well looked after and happy she is in her care! Rie is the best!!”
“Caroline is amazing! She took an excellent care of Millie: from walks, cuddles and outing. We received daily updates! Thank you Caroline, I appreciated everything you did for Millie <3”
“I was concerned with leaving Mocha in a new place, but Lisa and Ben were wonderful. They sent pictures and updates which eased my mind, and took great care of her. Thank you!”
“The best review is from my little dog, Suki, who enjoyed herself during the entire time, played with Ania, had many walks and came back a happy, healthy puppy. We saw all this in the many photographs that Ania sent to us. When we went to pick her up, she kept running between us and Ania, so Suki definitely approved of her stay there. We will be booking with Ania again for sure!”
“Hurley’s stay with Amelia (and her pup Benji), exceeded all expectations. First time leaving our pup with someone outside the family, and Hurley was treated like family. Hurley had lots of puppy play time that tuckered her right out!! Amelia kept in regular communication and sent us great pictures and videos. Hurley is already missing her puppy playmates. Hurley was so well cared for, in a great home environment. Highly recommend!! Thank you to Amelia, Benji and family.”
“Giancarlo and Roberta took great care of our dog while we were away. They listened to every instruction, and were very organized. They communicated any issues that arouse promptly and offered a solution if needed. They went above and beyond, even giving a bath to our dog before sending her back to us! We highly recommend Giancarlo and Roberta. They are professional, responsible and caring.”
“I cannot recommend Sharmayne highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely care about animals and treat every pet like her own. Throughout the time Bun was with Sharmayne, I received regular updates, including adorable photos. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my furry baby was not only safe but also happy and well-cared for. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pet, Sharmayne is the perfect choice. I ’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Sharmayne, for being such an incredible caretaker for Bun. You’re truly one of a kind!”
“Charlie was in excellent care while with Yu Pei. She was attentive and gives the best photo updates each time. Her place is ideal for our dog and would be booking again soon.”
“Ellie was very sweet and welcoming to our Neo. She is flexible with drop offs and pick ups. Ellie kept us informed and updated us regularly. Be it about his walks or play. We welcomed the pics and videos she sent. It felt really good to see Ellie so involved. Neo enjoyed his time with Ellie and I would easily recommend her.”
“Ting and Shiu took care of Duke like he was their own dog. They took him out for numerous walks, ensured he was cared for and even gave him a bath after a full day of fun in the mudd. We are so grateful for their caring attitude and wonderful care. They even fixed a toy he broke and sewed it back together. Thank you for keeping him safe and happy while we were away. Highly recommend booker with them and we would book again.”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m an experienced pet owner with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ve raised my own cats since they were two months old and have cared for my dog since puppyhood, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every pet. I currently have a 2-year-old Cavapoo who is energetic, friendly, and loves exploring new places. Taking care of him has taught me the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. I work full-time during weekdays and am available after 6 pm on weekdays, throughout weekends, for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care. I also offer weekend boarding from Friday evening to Sunday. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and always follow owner instructions carefully. I love taking photos and sharing updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I work full-time during weekdays and am available after 6 pm on weekdays, throughout weekends, for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care. I also offer weekend boarding from Friday evening to Sunday. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent routine, so I always make sure each visit is reliable and attentive. I’ll communicate clearly, follow your pet’s routine, and provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Rong gave care and attention to Abby. Abby is a sensitive dog and I could see right away she felt calm with Rong. The photo updates put my mind at ease when I was away and allowed me to focus on my event. Thank you Rong!”
“Daniela was absolutely amazing with Ily! She watched her for a couple of days, and Ily settled in very quickly and seemed so comfortable around her. Daniela communicated with us really well throughout the stay and sent us videos of Ily going on walks and having fun, which really gave us peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing Ily was in such good hands. Daniela was caring, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I would definitely recommend her to other dog owners and would happily have her watch Ily again! ❤️”
“Tijung and Licheng were very kind and helpful, Desmond had a great time staying with them. Even though he nervous peed during his first night with them, Tijung and Licheng were accomodating and helped him feel more at ease. I would reach out to them for boarding again.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how genuinely affectionate and caring they are with animals. They took such wonderful care of our dog, treating them like family and making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We received updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's obvious they truly love what they do, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated pet sitter!”
“Patricia is such a sweet and caring person who is very accommodating. Our puppy Pebbles has been taken great care of and I really appreciated all the video and picture updates Patricia sent us. I am especially impressed with how Patricia and her family treated Pebbles like one of their own fur babies. This was the second time I used Patricia (a day visit that was kind of last minute and an overnight stay) and I will absolutely rebook with her again. She is super flexible and calm and it's obvious how much she loves animals.”
“We’ve been using Zarina as our go-to pet sitter for almost 2 years now, and there’s truly no one better. She’s reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond for our Sarah. We completely trust her whenever we’re away, and she never fails to send timely updates and the sweetest photos that keep us at ease. Sarah absolutely adores her, and so do we. Can’t recommend Zarina enough—she’s the best!”
“Mykyta was amazing. Incredibly communicative and considerate and super flexible when I had last minute travel changes. I felt incredibly safe leaving my pup with him.”
“Moonie stayed with Min for just under two weeks, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and patience Min showed throughout. She took the time to understand and adapt to Moonie’s anxieties as a rescue dog — offering plenty of 1:1 attention, being flexible with anxiety-induced potty breaks, and finding creative ways to help her feel comfortable through gentle gestures and treats. The daily updates and thoughtful communication gave me so much peace of mind knowing Moonie was doing well and in kind hands. I would absolutely recommend Min to anyone looking for someone caring, attentive, and trustworthy to look after their pets while away.”

Kay took amazing care of Gogo and Cookie! ❤️ She kept us updated with photos, and both girls looked so happy and had a great time! She’s very caring and attentive, and we felt completely at ease leaving them with her. Would definitely book again! Highly recommend! 🐶💕
We felt completely leaving NOA in your care. During her stay, you sent us photos to keep us updated on how she was doing. The number of updates was just right, not too many and not too few, which we really appreciated. I think she had a great time playing with Sienna, who is about the same size as her. She must have had a lot of fun, because last night she was snoring while she slept! 😆😆 We would like to use your services again in the future.Thank you again for taking such good care of NOA, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Rie is an experienced pet sitter with patience and understanding of dogs’ nature and behaviour. This is the first time my dog has been separated from me and stayed in a stranger’s home. I can imagine how scared my dog could be. Today marks the fifth day my dog has been back home with me. He looks healthy and normal. It was a great experience for my dog to stay with the sitter and play with other dogs during boarding time. I appreciated Rie's good care in keeping my dog healthy and safe.
Ting and Shiu took care of Duke like he was their own dog. They took him out for numerous walks, ensured he was cared for and even gave him a bath after a full day of fun in the mudd. We are so grateful for their caring attitude and wonderful care. They even fixed a toy he broke and sewed it back together. Thank you for keeping him safe and happy while we were away. Highly recommend booker with them and we would book again.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitting experience! ❤️ They went above and beyond every expectation. Maisie enjoyed long walks, endless love and cuddles, and was truly treated like a member of their family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being looked after, but genuinely loved and cared for while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and attention they gave her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby. We will absolutely be booking with them again! 🐾❤️
We’ve trusted Yanfei with our dog for years, so when we needed someone to look after my family dog, Daisy, we knew exactly who to ask! Daisy is a very calm girl who loves structure and long walks, and as always, Yanfei was absolutely exceptional. She made Daisy feel so comfortable and at home. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. We truly can’t recommend Yanfei enough!
Rosie was so wonderful with Brady! He had so much fun staying with her, it felt like he was disappointed we were back… 🤣 he came back happy, tired, and looking extra handsome! She took such great care of him, and we’re so happy we found her. I know Brady can’t wait for his next stay with her 💛
Chunyi was lovely to work with and was very thoughtful in supporting a meet and greet prior to the booking for our pups to get to know each other. Attentive, thoughtful and kind, I’m appreciative of her ability to accommodate my last minute booking slot ahead of a business trip.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Choco received during his two week stay! They truly treated him like a member of their own family and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Choco is very picky and selective about people and doesn’t always warm up to new people easily, so we were really happy to see how well he got along with Claudia’s family. We also did couple introduction stays with them before this trip which went well! They were very attentive to his needs and also kept up with his medications and supplements, which we really appreciated. Claudia gave us great updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing photos and updates of him just chilling and spending time with their daughter and their dog Dizzy was especially heartwarming. It really made us feel like he was genuinely comfortable and happy there. Being away from him for two weeks was much easier knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely trust them with him again!
My dogs, while well behaved, are the typical chihuahuas ans they thrive better with someone who knows how to handle the breed, and Carlos was extraordinary in that regard. It was also a plus that his family speaks Spanish and my dogs are Spanish speaking as well! Super recommended.
Susan was absolutely wonderful with our Mateo. He is a very small Italian Greyhound - a sensitive, emotional, and fragile little boy who gets very attached to his people and usually has a hard time with separation. Leaving him for 11 days was not easy for us at all, so finding someone we could truly trust meant everything. From the beginning, Susan made us feel that Mateo was in the best hands. She and her whole family are such kind, warm people. You can immediately see that they genuinely love animals and understand how to care for them- but most importantly, how to make them feel loved, safe, and comfortable. Mateo settled in so well and truly became attached to them during his stay. Knowing that he was happy, cared for, and surrounded by kindness gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for all the love and care they gave him. We feel so lucky to have found Susan and her family, and we will absolutely be coming back. Thank you for taking such good care of our little boy 🤍
Lisa was amazing with my dogs. She sent us regular updates with pictures and let me know how my dogs are spending their day. Also, she’s very responsive and is flexible to work around last minute changes, which I really appreciate. Thank you so much for taking such a good care if my dogs!
