“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”


2. Sky G.

“We boarded Fergie with Sky while away for a long weekend. It had been quite awhile since we boarded her, preferring to take her with us on trips. Fergie fell in nicely with Sky. We received frequent notes, photos and video's of Fergie with Sky, which was appreciated. She looked content and happy. It gave us a sense of confidence that Fergie was well cared for. When we need to board Fergie again, we will reach to Sky.”


3. Nelly M.

“Nelly took great care of my snoopy. She gave him lots of walks and cuddles. She was great at giving him his medicine. She was very accommodating with snoopy’s separation anxiety and needs. Always sent pictures when I asked and communicated any concerns she had right away.”

“Luciana was great with Bella! Based on the photos she would send I can tell Bella was comfortable with her and enjoyed her time. I look forward to having Bella stay with Luciana in the future if needed! Luciana was also flexible with my drop off dates/times when I was finalizing the details. Thanks so much again!”


6. Dontae O.

“Donate was awesome. I was worried as this was my dogs first time away from me since rescuing her a year earlier. But she had an amazing time, got lots of play time, and made two new buddies. Dontae was prompt, communicative, and you can tell he's a total dog person. Great experience.”


7. Christopher M.

“Chris did a fantastic job with my rescue hound Sherman! I couldn't have found a more caring, knowledgeable, and responsible person to take care of Sherman who had alot of anxiety at first. Chris worked with Sherman to help him through his anxious moments and gave Sherman ALOT of outdoor time in his favorite dog park. Chris' dog Arnie was also very friendly, playful, and helpful with Sherman. I highly recommend Chris as a dog sitter and in fact, I am going to book him again for my May travel. This is the best experience I have had with any animal sitter!”

Thank you for taking such great care of our little Mango! 🐾 She gave us photos and even a video throughout Mango’s stay, keeping us updated, asking us thoughtful questions and Mango looked so happy 🥰 She was responsive to texts back & forth and was a great communicator. Maria-Helena was excellent!”

“Elizabeth is the best! She sent daily updates and photos, it was clear from the messages and when I picked up Nelly that Nelly had a great time and was able to relax in Elizabeth's company. From the meet and greet up to Nelly's stay, Elizabeth was responsive, flexible, and enthusiastic. I second another pup's parent's review that Elizabeth is the pet sitter I want to keep a secret so that Nelly can stay with her whenever we're out of town!”
