It is obvious how much Marwa loves cats and takes great care of them. She was a lifesaver for my Felix as he is newly rescued, was sick and not neutered so I had very limited options on where to board him, but she was happy to have him as her only cat for the week I was gone. He loved her and came back a happy cat.

We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)

We love having Whitney as our sitter! She’s so friendly and makes our doggies feel welcome in her home. Whitney send us photos everyday and I can tell our dogs enjoy their walks and all the attention they get! Our dog Dany looked very comfortable in their sofa during her last stay haha. You know the sitter’s a winner when your dog gets super excited when we drop off! :)

Dani had a great time staying with Brittany. At pick up, Dani was a happy camper who was sad to leave Brittany and the others pups she was caring for. We will definitely reach out to Brittany again and recommend her to others who need a sitter. 😄

Luke and Elaheh were a perfect match for our little guy, Cody. I would not hesitate to rebook with them. They matched his energy with walks, playtime, cuddles and love. We never felt out of touch. They sent daily messages and photos. If your doggy needs a place to stay, Luke and Elaheh will not disappoint.

Shakyra did a fantastic job, she took great care of our family member, our dog Riley. It was her first time away from home over night. We got a good update and when I went to pick her up the next morning she was calm and relaxed. Shakyra is very pleasant and communicative that alone put us at ease. She get 5 stars from us. Definitely use her again.

Rachel and Max are the best!! We dropped off our dog to stay with them for about a week, which was the longest she’s ever stayed with someone else. It went fantastic!! My dog is in love with them (especially max it sounds like!!) and they treated her like she was their own pet. Rachel and max were willing to do an overnight trial run a few weeks before to get our dog comfortable, and she felt right at home during the longer stay!! Thank you guys!!!

Cass took excellent care of my dog Bailey while I was away on a 6-day trip. She provided excellent communication throughout the booking process from start to finish. The status updates and photos she provided left me completely at ease, knowing Bailey was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Cass, and will keep her in mind for future bookings.

We couldn’t ask for a better experience for Cheddar! We went out of town for 5 days and Kiara took amazing care of our elderly dog in her home. She sent photos and updates daily, letting us know about how he ate, what activities they did, and how he slept. Kiara was eager to make his stay very comfortable! My family had a better time on our trip knowing Cheddar was in such loving hands.

From the time we stop my pup literally pulls me up the stairs to her apartment. To see how excited he is to see her shows me how much she cares for him. It warms my heart that someone truly cares for him just as much as I do. Ana is truly the best at what she does. Your furry pet is going to be well taken care of.

Nicolas did such an amazing job with my pup over a weekend! I have a high energy breed and he exceeded typical expectations. My dog was well walked, definitely cared for, and I got lots of pics & updates which gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. I would 10/10 book with him again! He is very knowledgeable in different dog personality types and so I felt very confident trusting him with my pet who can have slight behavior issues.
