“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”

“Jolanta was so great with our pup Franklin! She was great with communication. She played with him & sent pics. We look forward to having Jolanta care for him again!”

“This was our dog’s first stay with John and Nicole. My husband and I felt confident leaving Rufus in their care following our initial meet and greet - especially considering we’d be away for 2 weeks. Not only are they warm people, but they have great experience with - and knowledge of - dogs. Communication was great throughout our trip and pix were sent daily. Rufus looked relaxed and happy. Too happy. Did he miss us? At least a little?!! John and Nicole took excellent care of our dog. We will absolutely be booking with them again.”

“Excellent, excellent experience. Joe and Bonnie are warm, welcoming true dog-lovers who lavished affection on my Sona and made her feel right at home. I could go on and on about what an exceptional experience this was, but I selfishly want to keep them all to myself! ; )”

“We 1000% recommend Nantikan! She was highly responsive and flexible from the initial meet and greet to the time we picked our dog up (who didn’t want to come home!) Nantikan is very caring and knowledgeable and her home provided a safe, comfortable, fun place for our dog to stay while we were away. She provided updates to ease our minds and we quickly learned we had nothing to worry about. Our dog is already looking forward to going back!”

“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”

“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”

“Kathleen took very good care of our dog Milo. She made sure to keep us updated by sending pictures and letting us know how he's doing. I couldn't recommend her enough! We will be continuing our boarding with her in the future😊.”

“I highly recommend Yesenia. She and her family were very welcoming to Marley. I could tell they love having pets in their home. She even put treats in Marley’s bag to take home. I will definitely rebook with Yesenia. 😊”

“We initially wanted neighbors for our dog DiDi. However, because our 19 days of travel overlapped with the Labor Day weekend, no neighbor was available. So, we decided Rover might be able to vet a caregiver. We found the perfect person, Marie! Owning a small dog, she is a very experienced care giver, and well worth the expense for our peace of mind. We would consider Marie of our first choice during our next out-of-town travel.”

“Jia took excellent care of my dog, Penny. She took Penny to the park often, sent me lot's of pictures and gave me a report on her stay. I highly recommend Jia because she loves taking care of dogs, and again she is excellent at what she does. I know my dog, and I can definitely tell Penny had fun there. Penny will definitely be going back to Jia's in August.”

“Lauren provided EXCELLENT boarding services for Rocky. From the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. She sent photos and communicated several times a day. I was totally relieved with Lauren. I almost felt guilty that I wasn’t worried.😂 I would use Lauren again with no hesitation!”

“I highly recommend Anish and Aaheli for anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. From the time of booking and throughout the stay, Anish was prompt with his responses, provided timely updates and photos, keeping me fully informed and at ease while I was away. My pet instantly felt comfortable and welcomed in their. It was clear from the time we spoke, dropped of Brady and picked him up; they go above and beyond to create a safe, loving environment. I truly appreciated the attention to detail, open communication, and thoughtful approach to pet care. I will definitely trust Anish and Aaheli with my pet again!”

“Kathryn is a fantastic dog sitter. If I could give more than five stars I would. My dog Cali stayed with Kathryn and her dog Rooney for 3 nights. She sent me photos and video updates during her stay. My dog loved running around the yard and playing with Rooney. Kathryn gave her a lot of attention and made her feel at home. It made me feel at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Kathryn and I will hire her again in the future.”

“Meena & her husband took very good care of our 8 month old pup. She was updating us with messages and pictures throughout the day and went out of her way to care for him. We were at peace of mind seeing the pictures & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend her!”

“Sheree was wonderful. Very attentive to all Cookies needs. She sent pictures and videos of Cookie which was very comforting. I’m using her again shortly. Very happy with her service and care.”

“Jennifer was very caring and diligent in taking care of Ava and sent daily updates during Ava’s boarding stay. She was proactive in communicating issues with care and was very responsive. We would come back to Jennifer given an opportunity for future boarding / day care.”

“Rachel took great care of our 15 year old terrier mix Cookie. She sent photos and messages to us everyday we were away. She followed all our directions and I felt relaxed and at ease knowing Cookie was happy. How do I know? Rachel reported that Cookie didn’t want her to stop rubbing her belly. Cookie does not let most people rub her belly!! That said it all!”
