“Kimberly is an excellent dog sitter. She boarded my dog, Jack, for 10 days with no problems at all. Her compassion and desire to keep Jack comfortable, happy and active are evident. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby while you are away!”
2. May T.
“May looked after our dog Duncan over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We were grateful that she was available and cared for Duncan along with her own dog. Notifications and photos were sent throughout the stay, which eased the tension of being without our Duncan. We appreciate the care Duncan received, and would recommend the service to anyone interested. Thanks for all!”

6. Deborah R.
“Debbie was wonderful with Lucy and she felt very at home with her family and was very well taken care of. Loved getting pictures of her too and is very thorough getting to know what each dog likes/ habits etc”
7. Sochenda H.
“Sochenda took great loving care of our 12 year old Schnoodle. We were worried at first because this was his first time with Sochenda and it was for a long stay. She sent lots of photos and videos. She seemed genuinely concerned with making sure our little guy had a good experience. She messaged us with any questions and really started to get to know our boy. She found toys and balls for him to play with and he received belly rubs and lap time. She carefully followed our instructions regarding his feeding and limiting treats as he has a sensitive stomach if he gets stressed. We would not hesitate to use her again.”
8. Jiawei L.
“Jiawei is the best dog sitter out there! My dog had an absolute blast at their home and had fun all day! He really cares for your pet and takes the time to take them to the dog park, walks, and brushing! He also sent many fun videos of my dog and updated me often. Will definitely recommend!”
9. Ozge M.
“We recently entrusted our small dog to this wonderful dog care professional for a duration of 18 days while we were on vacation. I must say, the experience exceeded our expectations! From the beginning, the caretaker was incredibly communicative, providing us with daily updates that kept us reassured and connected to our furry friend. Their prompt responses and attention to detail made us feel comfortable and confident in their care. The level of dedication and love they showed towards our dog was truly heartwarming. It was evident that they didn’t just look after our pet, but also provided a nurturing and playful environment, which is essential for any pet's well-being. Returning to a happy and well-cared-for pet was the best outcome we could have hoped for. This experience has not only given us peace of mind but also made us sure that we would return to this dog care professional in the future. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and loving caregiver for their pet!”

“Lena and her family did an incredible job boarding our dog (50 lbs/7 yrs old) for 5 days while we were away. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with. Lena sent update photos and videos of our dog throughout our trip and gave our dog so many more walks and outdoor explorations than she gets at home. I could rest easy knowing our dog was happy with Lena!! I would recommend Lena for dog boarding to anyone considering booking with her.”

18. Samantha C.
“I was initially worried about booking with Sam, having never used to service before and with her not having many reviews. I'm so glad this didnt stop me - everyone has to start out. Sam was nothing but professional and absolutely wonderful. She answered all my emails promptly and was super friendly. The drop off process was easy, she sent regular updates and photos, and made the collection from the freight people smooth and easy while we were out of state. I would 100% recommend booking with Sam, and have been to people I know. We have two male cats, from the same litter.”
19. Danielle D.
“Danielle and her husband are so warm and welcoming, our girl warmed right up to them and she had the best time! We loved the picture/ video updates while our pup was there. Our girl was so tired when she came home from how much she enjoyed her time playing with her new friends! 💕”
20. Patricia W.
“Patricia was the best dog sitter I could imagine! She took Zion on multiple walks a day and her dog was very welcoming to my dog and they became close friends. I highly recommend her and I'll be using her as a sitter going forward!”
