Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs

Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Rachel was a great host for our dog, Zoe. She was easy to coordinate with and very responsive in communicating with me. We enjoyed seeing photos every day of Zoe and Rachel hanging out, playing, out and about on walks and at the dog park. Zoe came home happy and we'd be happy to leave her with Rachel again!

Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.

I cannot recommend Jo & Adam highly enough! They took wonderful care of my senior dog, Pippi, for 4 days and 3 nights and made the entire experience completely stress free. They were incredibly communicative, always available, and sent lots of updates and amazing photos throughout her stay. In fact, some of the photos they took are among my favorites ever of Pippi. Most importantly, it was obvious that Pippi was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She came home relaxed and content. Knowing she was in such loving and capable hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without worrying about her. I would absolutely book with Jo & Adam again and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Pippi!

For two weeks Grace and her boyfriend Dario took wonderful care of my dog! They provided daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. She gets sad and anxious when we are separated and they showed her love and patience. They helped administer medication when she got scared during a thunderstorm. I would 1000% recommend to take care of your pet!

Gil was great! He looked after our 55lb hound mix for a full week. He was super communicative and sent proactive updates and photos throughout, so we were never worried about her. She also clearly had a great time based on how she was when we got her home (and based on all the photos, which showed lots of pets, playtime, and activity). She was happy and healthy and we would definitely book with Gil again in the future!
