“She is amazing! she took care of my golden doodle like it was her own. I will definitely book her again ❤️ her dog summer is the best and got along with mine very well. Don’t hesitate and book her!”


“I was so nervous to leave my little gigi with any sitter. She is less than 5 pounds, deaf and blind. Desiree was absolutely awesome. Gigi went to her immediately and had no trouble settling in. I was given an update on how she was doing while I was away. When I returned I found that my baby girl was just as happy as can be. This was a great experience. Will be booking again!”



“Extremely quick response time, and very flexible. She happily took us on with almost no notice. I got many photos and updates during my dog’s stay, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her, which is unusual for my timid dog. I would recommend Alexandra and will be using her again!”


“Zarria did she great job. Good communication throughout their stay and lots of pictures! My boys loved the morning walls and were well taken care of. Thank you so much!”


“Lindsey was great with my boys an I appreciate her working with my crazy schedule. I would definitely recommend Lindsey an use her in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of my boys.”


“Fantastic! Murphy does not usually do well with dogs bigger than him, or too many dogs at once, however, his stay with Sylvia may have changed that, not sure what she did but my boy was very happy hanging out with the other dogs and made his stay a pleasant experience for us all. Highly recommend Sylvia if you need a sitter for your fur baby.”



“Sanja and her family were awesome with my 65 lb Chow, Kenzie. It was the best vacation of his life! He played, walked, had treats, went to the dog park, slept where he wanted and had so much fun I worried he wouldn't want to come home! Kenzie doesn't like water and was lounging by the pool, stretched and fell in. Sanja's dog, Sheba "rescued him" by jumping in the pool and guiding him to the steps. She shared her toys and treats and Kenzie loves her. Sanja and her husband, Tom, are clearly dog lovers. They cared for Kenzie like their own pet. I am so happy to find Sanja and will definitely use her often. I loved the daily photos that reassured me he was not only well cared for but having a great time. THANK YOU Sanja! Love Kenzie and Susan!”


“Melissa and her family genuinely cares for our girl while we are gone. She’s flexible and works with our busy schedule. We are thankful to have found a sitter who can create a home away from home for Hazel.”


“Crystal was very responsive, flexible, easy-going and friendly. She was happy to make sure our silly lab didn't worry at a paw pad injury she got a couple of days before we had to travel, and dealt with her separation anxiety graciously!!”


“Anitra was great my dogs had the time of their lives. Anitra sent video and photos everyday, she walked both my fur babies every morning and night. I would definitely be using her again, Anitra is super cool.”


“My dog was very comfortable & it was obvious in all the pictures that he was feeling happy and safe. Maria took him for walks and made sure he got plenty of outside time, which was perfect. We’ll definitely be back!”


“I don't love traveling, especially for work. I hate leaving my house for multiple days but more than that, I hate leaving my girl Molly. But sometimes you have to what you have to do, right? I have had to leave my her twice in the past month - both times for work-related travel. It was only on this second trip that I sought a new sitter as the previous time was too stressful of an experience, and thankfully I found Stephanie. She is a true animal lover and that made ALL the difference between the two trips. She went above and beyond to make sure Molly was happy and comfortable, and sent me the perfect number of updates and photos (and even videos!) to make *me* happy and comfortable. I can't fully express how wonderful it was to not have to worry about my dog and to be able to wholly focus on the work I was there to do. When I went to pick her up, Molly was excited to see me but was NOT excited to leave Stephanie, which further shows that she was the right choice. Usually Molly is at the door, ready to go as if to say "finally!" She didn't even seem mad at me for leaving her there. I will not hesitate to use her services again - in fact, I have already booked her for a few upcoming events that also require me to reluctantly leave my dog (and my house lol) - and since they are both for pleasure, I am actually looking forward to both of them, knowing my furry bestie is in the best possible hands. Thank you so much for everything, Stephanie! See you soon!”


“Winnae & Miguel took great care of my puppy "Harley". Usually, Harley parks at everyone, however she was at ease on her first visit. I appreciate the pictures sent to us during her time there. The experience was professional and they made it easy to do business. We will be a repeat customer!”


“If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend James & Danielle. Our fur baby enjoyed the experience and I am confident that many other pet owners would be gratified to have their services. They are responsible, attentive, and obviously love dogs.”


“Kerri is the best !!!! This was blues first time and it was great.She kept us updated the whole time with text messages and pictures. We will definitely be rebooking when needing a sitter!”


“We would totally recommend Aja for boarding your furry family member. We are overprotective parents of a 13 year old deaf Sharpei named Dex. Being an older guy, he has a few medical issues and personality quirks that require a bit of special attention, but he did great with Aja for a week when we attended a family event in another state. She sent us updates and photos most days and was very responsive to texts when we just wanted to check in on him. When we came to pick him up, he was completely passed out on the end of her sofa. We could see that he had gotten very comfortable being with her! We have already booked another boarding with her for our next trip.”


“Madison was great! As a first time user of the app, she did a great job putting my mind at ease, and keeping me posted on how Odie (my dog) was doing. And included pictures.”
