“I can't recommend Sophia enough! She is fantastic at communication, always keeping me updated with messages and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. My dog clearly loves her, and I know they’re in great hands every time. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible sitter, she's the one! Will definitely book her again.”


“Ivan is awesome taking care of my dog, Truffle. He sent me update pictures daily. Truffle has amazing time with lvan and his family including Sunny. She enjoys beautiful backyard and walking in the forest. Definitely recommended Ivan.”


“Gail treated our dog like he is her’s. She gave updates with pictures and videos regularly. Our dog looked like he had a good time! Gail is super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book her again in the future. 10 out of 10, 5 stars!!!”


“Based our last experience, with no hesitation, we booked a second stay with Wenyan. This time Mopsie had a even better time. We can tell by all the pics and videos Wenyan sent us every day. Mopsie had some skin allergy and had to take some medication. Wenyan took great care of her. She came back clean and happy. Her hair was smooth and soft from the daily grooming Wenyan gave her. We are so happy to have found this perfect vacation house for Mopsie!”


“Dawn is an amazing person and dog lover!!! She took excellent care of Onyx, while we were away. It meant the world to us knowing she is in such loving and caring hands. Her kindness, patience and genuine affection were so evident. From making sure Onyx was always comfortable to tuning into her little needs, Dawn went above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn. :) Onyx parents”


“Always over-the-top welcoming family, and our dog, Phoebe just loves it there! Room to romp and rin and play, other dogs to run and play with also! No couch potatoing unless she wants to ...she always comes back to us happy and healthier when we left her. Absolutely recommend Ren and his family!!!”


“Woyni went above & beyond to make our two pups feel at home and well taken care of while we were out of town. She accommodated our challenging schedule and responded to all of our messages quickly. Thank you so much for keeping our girls happy. We would highly recommend you!”



“Just returned home from a weekend away and after leaving my dog, Coco, in Evvery's care for the first time. I am super impressed with Evvery's professional and compassionate service! She sent updates daily and was flexible with my pick up timing. I am very excited to have found her! I highly recommend Evvery and will not hesitate to book with her again! Thank you Evvery!! : )”


“Pam and her daughter were so great with Pancho. They sent me many pictures and updates, it was obvious he was getting lots of love, attention and fun active time. Highly recommend and hopefully Pancho will get to pay another visit to their place!”


“This was our first visit—and the first time my dog Kenzie has ever been boarded with Jingming. Jingming was absolutely wonderful. She sent regular updates and photos, letting me know Kenzie was doing well, which truly helped put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make both me and Kenzie feel comfortable during our time apart. Kenzie can be a handful, especially since she’s blind, but Jingming made sure she stayed on her routine, ate well, and felt at home. She even used a camera so she could check in and see how Kenzie was doing, including how she slept she forwards them to me. Our flight was unexpectedly delayed, I reached out to see if she could keep Kenzie for one more day—and without hesitation, she said yes. That flexibility and kindness meant so much. I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and thoughtfulness Jingming showed. I highly recommend her and will absolutely go back to her again!”


“As usual, I think my golden retriever, Josie, was sad to leave Lina's house when I came to pick her up!! She really, really enjoys the spacious, beautiful surroundings of Lina's great house and huge backyard. She gets to play with other nice dogs (not too many), and best of all, she is treated wonderfully by Lina and her family. I can't recommend Lina enough. She's the best!”

“Huron & Elise were great dog-sitters for my two guys! My schedule got a bit crazy and they were helpful and flexible in the drop off and pickup arrangements. The boys seemed very happy and I got lots of photos and videos while we were away. They have a fenced yard where the dogs could play and went on several outings. Will definitely use them again.”


“Gracie was fabulous watching Lincoln! She was very communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos. We could tell that Lincoln was well taken care of and that Gracie made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend Gracie as a sitter!”


“Kathy did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs, and they are a good bit of work! One dog is 14 months old, with never ending energy and curiosity. We adopted her 6 months ago, and she is working through anxiety. She was not anxious at all with Kathy! Kathy's granddaughter was with them for part of the week and we heard the two of them became fast friends and were inseparable. Our second dog is 13years old, much lower energy, a picky eater, has medicine that is a game to get her to take. Kathy was great with our old pup as well! She ate most meals, took all her medicine, and looked very content. Kathy sent pictures, videos and updates twice a day, so we knew how they were doing everyday. I highly recommend Kathy to take care of your pups and will ask Kathy to take care of our dogs if available the next time we are out of town.”

Xiao is so efficient with making sure she’s providing Oso with the best care. She asks questions of when to give Oso his vitamins, when he eats, etc. Oso enjoys his walks with her and when he arrives to her home, he gets so excited that he immediately wants to explore her backyard. So grateful to have Xiao’s care.

Lucy was extremely well taken care of by Katrina! We had a premeeting to go over Lucy’s behavior and needs. Katrina was attentive and gave Lucy everything she needed - cuddles and walks and lots of attention! We were very happy with the daily pictures and will definitely use Katrina again!
