Whitney was awesome when she looked after my puppy. Got a daily update and the pickup/drop-off was such a time saver. My dog is old and can be picky about her sitters but she came back obviously happy. Thanks :)

Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!

I was extremely anxious about having to leave my cat for the first time, but Marwa was truly amazing! My cat is usually very shy and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but with Marwa, he was so comfortable and relaxed. She kept me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. I will 100% be booking with her again anytime I need someone to take care of my baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

A great experience all around. Our girl Maya stayed with Ami and her family for three nights. Ami was very communicative and sent updates with pictures every day, which I really appreciated. Once we picked her up, Maya was content and ready for a nap. Oh and Ami's dog Coco is a sweetheart 💖 The first day she greeted Maya with lots of waggy tails and friendly sniffs. If you're looking to board your dog, I highly recommend Ami and her family. They made us feel very comfortable, starting with the meet and greet and through Maya's stay.

This was my second time booking these two. My pup stayed with them for a few days and I got lots of pictures and updates, and when I was running late to pick her up, they were really flexible about it. I even picked her up with more toys and treats than I dropped her off with! Their dogs are incredibly sweet and playful and seem to get along with anyone- dog or human! Couldn't have asked for better people to take care of her.

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 :)

Ms. Pilar was beyond exceptional I really loved how she cared for my 2 dogs I came back a little later than I wanted to but she was very understanding about the situation. I received messages every day from her as well as photos of the dogs. She took them on lots of walks and provided love and care for them as they were her very own. I recommend her Kai is a lot more calmer since he has been home. I recommend Ms. Pilar to everyone she is the best and has a true love for the dogs in her care. Thanks Ms. Pilar we appreciate you Prince and Kai Miss you as well.

Stefani was amazing!!! She was able to watch our 17yo puggle very last minute after our usual sitters said they couldn’t watch him. She was so sweet with him and you can tell right away that she really cares for the pups. She was very communicative and checked in multiples a day with several photos. Stefani also spoiled him with his favorite fruits and veggies (we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 😅). And she let him out several times a day in her charming backyard basically whenever he wanted. We felt at ease instantly after meeting her especially as she said she would never leave his side (perfect for a Velcro dog like ours). Highly recommend her to watch your puppies - she really does give them a lot of love and care and we’re so so so glad that we were able to find her!

Susan and Joanne were excellent and have a wonderful home. We liked that they had us do and meet & greet to make sure it was a good fit for our dog. They accommodated us last minute and really helped us out. They went out of the way to cook special food when our dog was not eating his kibble. We would love for our pup to stay with them again.

I highly recommend Luke and the accommodations him and his partner provides. They will tailor any special needs your pet provide and your bet will have ample companionship and yard time to play with other dogs staying with them. Please look no further and reach out to Luke for your pet boarding needs. I will definitely be a repeat customer again!

Nick did a great job with Clifton! We adopted our pup earlier than expected, and we needed a sitter to watch him for a few days just two weeks after we adopted him. Nick continued with the training and boundaries we had started. He also shared frequent photos and updates. We are so grateful and will definitely use him again.
