1. Victoria B.
“Victoria was amazing with my 14 week old lab puppy (who is teething pretty hard). She provided just the right amount of updates that weren’t distracting us from plans, but still gave us many updates on how he was doing! She’s very sweet and goes about and beyond.”
2. Julia R.
“Julia took great care of my cat while we were suddenly away for a few days. It’s great to find someone so reliable on such short notice. Would use again and recommend to others!”
3. Rachel S.
“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”
4. Connor A.
“Connor was a great sitter, in a situation where we had to have another sitter transfer our dog to him, which could have been stressful but Connor did a great job taking care of our fur baby and sent us pics and was quick to respond. Would be happy to have him as a sitter anytime.”
5. Zwany & Leandro C.
“Zwany and Leandro are a first class team, focused on safety and communication. Our Havanese, Celia, enjoyed her visit so much she wanted to extend her stay to spend more time with her new friends. I highly recommend their services - they made us both feel very welcome and cared for.”
6. Jo & Adam C.
“Jo and Adam did an incredible job with our 8-month old puppy!! Dropoff and pickup were totally smooth, not complicated at all. They gave us lots of photo updates (which gave us a lot of peace of mind). Our puppy had a great time, and we wouldn't hesitate to board with them again!”
7. Phi T.
“Phi is an amazing sitter for my dog Frankie! This was the second time she stayed with him and he goes out do his way to make sure she is comfortable and happy during her stay. He even sent her home with some homemade treats that she loved.”
8. Louisa R.
“Louisa is amazing! She made herself available for the last-minute reservation and the same-day dropoff. She was sending photos of Bruno, and I could tell she took great care of him, and he had fun, too. I highly recommend her!!!”
9. Kathryn H.
“We had a great experience with Kat. Detailed communication before we dropped our dog off and constant twice daily updates and photos for the 9 days she had him. He got to spend time with other dogs, had lots of exercise and Kat gave him lots of love and attention. Highly recommend.”
10. Tiffany & Steve L.
“Tiffany does an excellent job with my kids. She always sends lots of pictures throughout the stay and they miss her when they come home. I look forward to using her again and again”
11. Rachel A.
“It was our first time leaving our dog Stevie with Rachel and everything went very smoothly. Rachel was very responsive to my text messages, was very easy to communicate with, and sent us pictures of Stevie several times a day. We are very happy with Stevie’s stay and would love to board our dog with Rachel again in the future.”
12. Michelle C.
“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
13. Amanda Leigh I.
“Amanda was super responsive and sent nice photos and updates on my dog. Stella was well taken care of and played hard so she had a nice long nap she got home.”
14. Nicole F.
“Nicole was an amazing host and treated my fur baby with love. She communicated well and sent pictures with my dog smiling and having a blast! Even sent him home with toys. I would highly recommend her and request boarding with her again for sure!!!!”
15. Spencer M.
“A first for us - during pickup Captain went back to say goodbye to his sitters! He loved staying with Spencer and Nell. They were so consistent with communication and sent us a photo shoot daily. Definitely will book again.”
16. Martha I.
“This was our second time sending our pup to Martha. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Martha is so kind and patient. Our dog got a bit of an upset stomach due to separation anxiety. Martha and her family took care of him and he got better within a day. I always feel at ease when I leave my dog there. Hopefully, we didn't scare her so much that she doesn't want to take us in the future.”
17. Matias D.
“Matias was a fantastic sitter! He took great care of my dog and sent me photos & videos while I was away. This was the first time my dog met him and I was worried he'd be scared but by the time I picked him up he was so comfortable with Matias and would have loved to stay longer. Thank you so much, Matias! We'll definitely be back :)”
18. Ilya V.
“Ilya was an amazing communicator, and I could tell our pup loved him. He lives so close to the park and works from home that she got more walks than she ever does with us! Will definitely be having her stay with him again.”
19. Jessica & Amie Q.
“Jessica and Amie were super accommodating with pick up and drop off due to late flight times. Archie seemed very comfortable in their home from the minute we met them prior to his stay, we loved getting photos of him looking happy! Will book with them again!”
20. Ivis S.
“Did an awesome job and was always updating me on his day. My dog seemed happy (and exhausted) by the time we got home. She did an amazing job!”
