1. Robin & Rahn D.
“Our dogs had another great stay with Robin and Rahn. They make things super easy from drop off to pick up. The pictures and videos with updates are so cute and very much appreciated. They came back happy, well taken care of and very tired!”
2. Mike C.
“5 Stars – Highly Recommend! Mike was an incredible sitter for our pup, Bloo! From the very beginning, he was communicative, professional, and so caring. He kept Bloo busy every day with plenty of activity and playtime, and it really showed—our baby came home happy, healthy, and totally exhausted (in the best way!). We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing Bloo living his best life made us feel so at ease while we were away. Mike clearly treated him like family, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention he gave. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, Mike is your guy. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

5. Nayra R.
“This was our first time having Nayra take care of Zoe and I have nothing but the best things to say about her! She took incredible care of her and I loved how she updated me daily with photos of her having a great time. She took her to the park I believe every day and she got to play with the other dogs in her care. We would love to have her take care of Zoe again soon! Thank you, Nayra!”

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
