Miley stayed with Aurora for 4 nights while I was away on a vacation. Her pup Madi and Miley became BFF’s. She sent regular updates and she was very prompt and quick responding to my texts. Miley is my daughter and I’m very nervous leaving her at someone’s place. But Aurora did a a great job taking care of Miley and treated her like her own pup. I would definitely like Miley to have her next vacation at her place. Adding to this their pup Madi is a wonderful dog very friendly.

We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!

Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.

Jia was very kind and accommodating in taking Alfie in at a very short notice. Unfortunately, Alfie and Pancho didn’t pass each other’s vibe check and got into a spat because of which we had to cut short the stay. Sometimes two very nice dogs just can’t get along well. Jia was very helpful throughout the process and cared for Alfie for the remainder of the long day and shared cute pictures. 10/10!

Lailoo was so great with our 2 year old puppy Harry. It was so nice getting updates throughout the day along with pictures to see what they were up to and how he was doing with her. Bathroom and feeding updates were great for us too so we know his state when we get home! She played with him and walked him and made sure he was hydrated in this heat wave! I completely trust her with any future dog sits!
