“My only hesitation with leaving a review is that John and his family will get so much attention that they’ll be booked next time we try to use them! Kidding, sort of. Seriously though, they were wonderful. Very communicative and thoughtful. One of our pups is super nervous being left, and John and his wife sent lots of pictures and reassured us that all was going well. We couldn’t have been happier with the visit and we have already booked them again!!”
“Carlos provides outstanding service, attention to detail and love for the pets he is boarding. We received multiple daily updates and fotos of our French Bulldog, I highly recommend his boarding service for your pet. He is best! Thanks, Carlos!”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“Catherine took great care of Andy during this visit. Andy was experiences stomach upset and the recommended increasing his feeding from twice a day to 4 times. Catherine accommodated this request. Fin was a great playmate to Andy. Andy came back healthy and happy 😊”
“I booked my baby, Luna, for close to a week. Never used Rebeca before. My pup had a blast! She also made friends with the owner’s dogs. I got plenty of pics and videos of her looking very at home. Would highly recommend ?”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“Amazing and thoughtful. Buddy has separation anxiety and when left he struggles. She has been very open to working with my dog. Buddy adjusted well due to her calm and loving nature. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
“Great family! Gibbs was well cared for w/lots of fresh air and exercise. Good communication w/flexibility for drop-off and pick-up. We're glad we found Gustavo, Cheryl and family!”
“Corey did an amazing job as always taking care of my dogs! This is the first time I had left them since my boy dog got sick in May. Knowing how well Corey takes care of them made, I knew I didn’t need to stress.”
“Andrea's a wonderful caregiver for our Sophie and we know we can enjoy our vacation without worry. Communication is responsive and informative. Also, regularly sends pictures while we're away. Looking forward to having Andrea care for Sophie again very soon!”
“Ingrid was lovely and Striker had the best time during his vacation at her house. Striker enjoyed many walks and exploring her neighborhood. I loved all the pictures she sent of Striker having fun!”
“This isn’t my first review for Stacie (and Ziggy), but I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate Stacie, her family and their dog Ziggy for taking care of my Nala! Her ears perk up whenever she realizes that we are packing to go somewhere and mention Ziggy’s name, and goes crazy (and goes onto tapping on our entrance door knob!!). Stacie always sends us pictures and Nala always looks happy (too happy sometimes to make me think she doesn’t want to come back home). Also, Stacie is ALWAYS honest about her schedule, the dogs that are already staying there (for the sake of compatibilities of the dogs), so she’s not just taking any dogs or however many dogs to make money. She genuinely cares and wants to provide the best service. Thank you, Stacie!”
“Suzi took care of my dog, Bo, over the holidays, and I couldn't be happier! She provided exceptional care and attention to Bo, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Suzi kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She have Bo his medication and gave him lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Suzi for anyone in need of a pet sitter. She has a wonderful way with dogs, and I can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of Bo. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Veronica and her boys watched our 3 month old pup and sent us photos every day. Sunny came back happy and clean and Everything was ready to go when we picked her up!”
“Maria took amazing care of my dog, Griffin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, kind, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. She also sent daily updates and followed the instructions given to her. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and treated Griffin like her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Camila is a very kind sitter. She watched our 14 year old dog Darwin for a week while went out of state on family business. She took excellent care of him, sent us pictures, and let us know how he was doing throughout the week. We didn’t have to worry about his care so we could focus on our family’s needs. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“My dogs are happy to stay at Karen's. She is great at playing with them, walking them, and snuggling them. She is easy to communicate with, and she sends lots of pictures so you know everyone is doing great all the time.”

I highly recommend Melissa. She provides a very loving, caring, and supportive environment for our 12-year-old dog who has anxiety issues. Melissa was diligent about providing our dog her meds, taking her out on walks, and sending daily updates and photos. She also asked important questions to ensure that our dog received the best possible care. The fact that Melissa has a fenced lot and only accepts one dog at a time was a big plus for our situation. If you want superb, loving care for your pup, Melissa is your go-to person!
Linda took great care of our dog, Goldie. It was really nice to have her at a home that only boards one dog at a time as I think multiple dogs can become overwhelming. Linda’s dog, Lucky, is very sweet and I know Goldie enjoyed having Lucky as a playmate. Linda kept in touch with us and sent photos of Goldie during her stay. It was nice to have peace of mind about our dog being taken care of in a loving home while we were away.
This was Luna's first overnight stay (10 days) with a non-family member. When we did the meet and greet, Shaye and Peter were very warm and asked a lot of questions about Luna. They were made sure Luna felt comfortable with them by letting her sniff around their hone. It was apparent they were dog people. During the stay, Shaye sent periodic updates on how Luna was acclimating to her stay and pictures. We felt very comfortable with Luna staying with them. Their dog, Julep, was very sweet and mild mannered. We would definitely use Shaye again in the future.
