1. Jay B.


“I wish I could give 6 stars! Jay is an amazing pet sitter! She pampered our pups from the moment we dropped them off to the moment we picked them up. She walked them multiple times a day and made sure their comfort was her first priority. Jay sent pictures and videos everyday to let us know how happy our pups were in her care. She showed us in one visit that she loves every dog as if it were her own. We can't wait to book another Vacay with Jay! Such a great experience! ”

7. Carla T.


“Carla is a top notch dog sitter. She took care of my sweet yorkie Mia for a little over a week when I went on vacation. The communication was great and I felt good about leaving Mia with her. Pictures and simple quick texts let me know that Mia was in a great place. Carla has a sweet gentle dog that adapted to Mia quickly. Carla went above and beyond with Mia’s picky appetite and accommodated Mia during feeding time. She showed Mia love and attention, that was most important to me. Thank you Carla you’re a wonderful person and I look forward to you watching Mia again in the future.”
