Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.

Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.

Michelle always takes excellent care of my girl, Gertie. She is responsive, provides regular updates, and is the kind of auntie every pup hopes to have. Gertie can't wait for her next sleepover there!

This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!

Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

Lynne was the best dog sitter we have ever had. We accidentally waited until the last minute before the holidays to find someone and we are so thankful she had space and took our pups in right away. She was so easy to work with on booking, schedules, communication, and she spoiled our pups like no other. She even made a special grocery trip to get snacks they would love. She sent us “pup-date” photos everyday and it warmed our hearts to see our pups and know how happy they were in her care. With her patience and kindness Lynne was able to bond with our temperamental chihuahua on day one-an extremely rare occurrence! We can’t praise her enough and hope to be lucky enough to book her again in the future!! Thank you Lynne!

My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.

Ari and Sara are fantastic sitters, and I highly recommend them! They have watched Pipa several times and she is always so excited to go back to their house and see them. She gets along great with their dog, Bond, and always comes home happy and relaxed. Ari and Sara are incredibly responsive, flexible, and genuinely caring. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Pipa is in such good hands with them when I have to go away.
