“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
2. Jennifer L.
“Booking was a smoothie and I received ongoing updates with pictures and videos of how good my baby boi Demi was doing. Jennifer and her partner was such a a breathe of fresh air having the comfort of knowing my dog was actually enjoying himself. As if he was on a doggy vacation”
3. Sara B.
“This was our second time having Sara board our pup, and she was awesome just like she was last time! It was over the New Year and we had forgotten to drop off our dogs thunder coat, but she did an amazing job helping him get through the stressful night of fireworks. She’s very communicative, responsive, and responsible, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
4. Anthony A.
“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”
5. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”
6. Hanna T.
“Hanna is an attentive, proactive, and communicative pet sitter. She got back to me when I had questions almost immediately. When our dog was with her, we knew he was cared for. She was very transparent on our dog's activities and checked what we were or weren't comfortable with him doing during his stay. Overall, we were happy with her service!”
7. Danielle M.
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
8. Mai H.
“I highly recommend Mai for her exceptional care and dedication. She took fantastic care of my corgi during overnight stays, providing both engaging walks and thoughtful attention to detail. Her commitment and affection truly put my mind at ease, knowing my furry friend was in such good hands. She is my go to dog sitter!”
9. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth were so fantastic to work with. Our pup seemed to have a really nice time (we weren't sure he was thrilled to be back home). They were very responsive and gave lots of appreciated check-ins about how things were going. We would be excited to work with them again!”
10. Chad A.
“Chad helped us look after our dog while we were getting married, and brought him to the church for a photo op. He was very responsive and would highly recommend him.”
11. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chanakarn took great care of my dog while we were away. I was able to do a meet and greet prior to having my dog stay to make sure he was comfortable and while he was with Chanakarn, I got multiple updates a day on how he was doing. She was responsive and very accommodating when our travel plans changed. I will definitely be using her again in the future”
12. Diksha A.
“Oski had a wonderful time on his sleepover with Diksha! She so obviously loves dogs and if your dog is social like mine, they'll get to meet Diksha's neighbors and their dogs when they're there, too! Diksha sent photos of her playing with Oski, and was very caring and responsible. I would definitely like to have her watch Oski again!”
13. Jose A.
“Jose was an exceptional dog sitter for our Goldendoodle. From the start, he was highly responsive, quickly answering our messages and showing great flexibility in adjusting the pick-up time and adding an extra day to the stay. He kept in constant communication with us, providing daily updates along with photos and videos of our dog. What truly impressed us was the amount of time, love, and care Jose devoted to our pet. He took our Goldendoodle on daily walks, hikes, and trips to the waterfront, ensuring he was always engaged and active. We eagerly anticipated hearing about their activities each day. Overall, we highly recommend Jose if you’re looking for a loving and attentive caregiver for your dog. He truly provides a home away from home for your pup or pet.”
14. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordan did an amazing job with Cooper. They really took care of him and made him feel at home while we were away. We received daily updates on how he was doing, and I could tell Cooper was having a great time with them and their 2 pups. Would definitely use again”
15. Karen M.
“Karen is a lovely human and a dedicated dog lover. We adopted a hound last July and she has had a few challenges, so we looked for a boarding option that would be a positive experience for our dog while also providing enough supervision and calm attentive care so she would feel comfortable. Our pup has become very attached to me because of the many times she was abandoned, so it really took a special touch to help her feel safe right away. Karen’s dog Ginsburg became her pal, and they spent hours basking in the sun on the deck in the backyard. When our pup came home after staying with Karen she was happy and calm, with no added nervousness or reactivity after the change. From our first meeting when Karen and Ginsburg met us for a walk Karen was also a wonderful resource, sharing helpful ideas after listening closely to our specific challenges with our sweet sensitive hound. After our first meeting I asked if we could meet a second time and Karen suggested we meet at her house so I could see how Rosie behaved in her home. This was such a helpful step, and helped me feel comfortable boarding her at Karen’s house. If you want a household of dog lovers who truly care about your dog’s well being and healthy development, then this is the place for you!”
16. Lilly R.
“Lilly is the best! She and her husband treated Cody like their own family member. She sent me regular updates on Cody with pictures and videos, making me enjoy my out of town trip to the fullest without any guilt. I could tell that Cody had a great time as well. I'll definitely use her service again.”
17. Kelly L.
“Best pet sitter in the East Bay, Philly was walked and well-taken care of, updates were amazing and adorable, Kelly even gave me her harness and included dried sweet potato treat sticks for Philly, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Kelly!”
18. Charlene M.
“Darci had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. Charlene was a pleasure to work with and her communication was always so timely. I was glad to know my dog was in good hands.”
19. Quan W.
“Quan & Brandon took such good care of Mr. Woodly! He had such a great time on his mini vacation. I know Woodly would definitely want to stay with them again in the near future.”
20. Vanessa S.
“Such a great stay for our pup!! We’re really happy she has a safe and fun place to romp and rest while we’re out of town, will definitely visit again!!”
