“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”

“I’m am very happy leaving my Gus with Annette he loves and enjoys her company and doggie friends. She is always very nice to send me updates and pictures of Gus playing with friends. He was certainly very happy staying with Annette”

“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”

“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”

“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”

“Absolutely wonderful. Dogs had a great time. I don’t leave my dogs often and I work from home so used to being around them all the time so leaving them with a sitter makes me nervous but Angelica made and the dogs feel comfortable. Sent me updates and pictures never made me feel like a bother for asking about them. Highly recommend and will use again.”

“My dog Sam had such a great stay with Joanne. He is normally very nervous about meeting new people, but he took to Joanne right away, and he loved playing with her dog Juno. Joanne has a nice big back yard that is fenced, so Sammy got lots of outdoor time (which he loves). She kept me up to date each day on how he was doing by sending photos. I definitely plan to use Joanne again in the future, and I recommend her highly as a sitter.”

“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”

“Beatriz did great with Dexter! he was happy and had lots of fun. She was very communicative and responsive. I definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future.”

“We loved the care and attention given to our dog by Samantha! My dog was having so much fun with her pack. The updates were frequent and thorough. We also got great pictures and videos throughout the stay. We will definitely rebook with her!”

“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”

“We could not have been more pleased with Maya and her husband taking care of our sweet Finn. They are so kind and loving, Finn was comfortable with them immediately and so were we. They took such good care of him even setting up a play date at a local dog park. We received so many pics and videos. We had such a great weekend away because we knew how well they were taking care of our puppy. I will of course be booking future stays for Finn with Maya and Kevin. If you are close by them and find yourself in need of sitters to love and take care care of your pets, book with Maya!!! In my opinion, they are the absolute best!!!! And will treat your pet as a member of their family.”


“Our 3yo Lab Hennessy stay with Sarah and her family for 11 days! I have never boarder her before so I was worried about her interacting with other dogs since she is an only pet in our home., when I met Sarah she made me feel calm about everything. Her dogs welcomed Hennessy and taught her all the dog etiquettes. We received videos and photos of them playing and having fun. We highly recommend Sarah!!”

“Christian was absolutely wonderful. He took his time getting to know Georgia during our meet and greet. He carefully observed how she interacted with other dogs at his home. He is very compassionate and knows what he is doing. I felt extremely comfortable boarding Georgia with him for a few days. He sent pictures throughout his visit so I always knew how Georgia was doing. I highly recommend Christian and I will definitely use his services again.”

“Megan was wonderful and provided a happy and safe environment for our dog while we were traveling. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates and drop off and pick up were a breeze. She and her family definitely have a way with animals, there was no hesitation from our dog upon drop off and they made him immediately feel comfortable. Highly recommend and hope to book another stay for our pup in the future!”

“I’ve been using Brittanie for doggy day care and boarding. My dog Bandit gets so excited to go to her house. He always comes home tired from having fun playing all day.”

Danieris and Julian are HIGHLY recommended. We were thoroughly pleased with the care they provided for our 18 year old, special needs, blind, and demented, silky terrier mix, Paisley. They have their own special needs dog, and because of this, exhibit increased patience and an understanding of the challenges that come with a special needs pet. They followed Paisley's schedule (morning and afternoon walks, am and pm feedings) which resulted in a smooth transition to care in their home, and moved her bed from the living room to bedroom so she could sleep with caring humans close by. They sent regular updates and photos which were much appreciated! The combination of great care provided, with their calm and caring demeanor will keep us coming back! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!

Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!

Kyli was amazing as always. Milo wasn’t feeling well and had an upset stomach while we were away and she made sure to keep him hydrated and keep us updated on how he was doing. Milo was doing much better by the time we picked him up. Kyli took amazing care of him. We will always recommend her and will keep booking for Milo! Thank you Kyli!!

Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.

Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!

Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙
