“Laila, fit us in at the last minute and was absolutely wonderful! My chihuahua is a bit much for a lot of people and he has a very strong bond to me. He liked Laila right away and I was able to leave him with a peaceful heart. She sent me so many pictures and videos that I never had to wonder if he was being cared for and happy. She showed me without me ever having to ask. I have never picked him up from a sitter when he did not run to me and jump in the car ready to go home. But, when Laila brought him outside to go home he wanted to go on their usual walk and was genuinely sad to leave. 11 out of ten! He is so calm and happy I’m so glad Laila was able to watch him for me this weekend!”

“Biscuit had a great stay with Elise and James. They are warm, attentive and loving. We got plenty of updates during our dog’s stay with them. Upon coming home, I could tell Biscuit was really relaxed and himself straight away, which is always a great sign. We are looking forward to Biscuit’s next stay!”

“Vivian was amazing and Kodak loved staying with her. He played all day with her and the other puppies so by the time he came home he was exhausted and super happy. I would recommend her any day especially for puppies! ”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”

“Malvika & her family were fantastic sitters! They were very attentive with her schedule & medication & provided ample photos (all whole album worth!) + lots playtime & company for her. Highly recommend & can’t wait to have Momo stay with them again!! 🥰”

“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”

“Kenny was great! He watched my dogs for almost 2 weeks. He gave frequent picture updates. Most importantly, my boys came back well-behaved, calm, and wanted to go back into his house which means they like him! Would definitely use him again!”

“Kai did an amazing job taking care of our dog for the week! He sent lots of videos and pictures every day, which made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We couldn’t have asked for better care — highly recommend!”

“George was not feeling well, had some coughs and issues and we were informed twice a day on status Net is that Kalyan and Maria are great hosts and really really care for your pets well being.”

“Samantha was great with Smokey. She has 2 small friendly dogs to keep Smokey company and made him feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate Smokey and his coughing issue and I trusted her to give him his meds. He came back happy and comfortable so I would absolutely recommend Samantha!”


“Christopher was awesome! He agreed to watch my dog Fitz at the last minute. He was aware of Fitz’s separation anxiety and gave him lots of extra attention. He also sent me many updates throughout his stay to let me know he was doing well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a responsive, attentive dog sitter!”
“I left my cat with Anhelina for a week and it was an amazing decision. Anhelina sent photos and videos of my cat everyday. She also responded quickly to my messages. I highly recommend Anhelina. She’ll make sure your little one is comfortable.”

“Rose was amazing and Bozzie was so well looked after! She kept in constant communication and sent photos and he looked so happy! She’s so sweet and flexible and I’d trust her to take care of my baby anytime.”

“Sunmee, Patrick and their son took great care of little Oscar like one of their own. I really appreciated the photos and videos multiple times a day. They have a great house with large backyard for Oscar to run around with their dog, Winter. Thank you!”

“We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.”

“Mckenna and her mom Shirley are the best caretakers of my wonderful old dog Chewie that I could ever imagine. He's near end of life now, but Mckenna still agreed to take him for a day in October even after his challenging week long stay at her house in September. Thank you, Mckenna and Shirley!”

“Rosalind was amazing with dog sitting my Shiba inu. He is a very high energy dog and she was able to make him feel right at home. Pictures were always provided and she'd frequently take him on dog walks. I believe he enjoyed his stay and would certainly book another boarding with Rosalind in the future, very appreciative of her help and service with caring for my dog for several weeks.”

Mahlan is an excellent sitter! All his updates were very informative and he cared to make sure Mangu was able to eat even in his new environment. I could tell Mangu loved him because he didn't want to leave. He is also very flexible and was willing to work with me on a last minute booking. I would highly recommend Mahlan.

We loved having Jinhee and Ryan watch Teddy! They have the sweetest family. They were very accommodating and followed our feeding schedule and made Teddy feel at home right away. They were communicative and provided us with updates which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We 100% recommend them and will definitely book with them again!
Claudia and her family are the best dog caretakers I've ever worked with! Our little corgi had another lovely stay at their place and the beloved daily photo updates made it very clear all parties were having a great few days together. She is the first person I think of whenever I know I'm going to need some sitting assistance.
