“This was the second time we used John and his wife Joanna and they were wonderful once again. Our pups can be nervous when they’re away from home but I could tell they recognized their home (and kids) and felt comfortable there, which made it easier to leave them. They communicate and send pictures/updates every day, and when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well they let us know right away and were willing to stay up at night with him to make sure he was okay. They even checked up on him after he was back home. Just lovely!”



“Lexi enjoyed her time at Sophia’s house. She was well taken care of during her week there and we look forward to booking future stays. Sophia was very easy to work with, kept us updated with photos and messages and it was a great experience. Highly recommend!”


“They are the absolute best. I swear my dogs know when the are going. They don’t even look back when we pull up. Great communication and updates about my dogs. They are my exclusive go to when I need to house my dogs.”


“Karen was amazing with my dog. From the minute we had a meet and great I knew my dog would be safe and happy with her. Taco stayed for 5 days and during that time we received lots of videos and texts. I will definitely use Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for doggie day care”


“We needed to board our two dogs over spring break and decided to give Lina a try. Lina was easy to work with and accommodated us with a meet-and-greet so our dogs had a chance to meet her. We just sent her some instructions for care, and she took care of everything without much additional clarification needed . She also had no problem or issues administering daily medication to one of our dogs who has bad allergies. Lina also sent us pictures throughout the 9 days our dogs stayed in her care.”


“Satyam took great care of our 3 month old puppy. He sent pictures and updates throughout the visit and our puppy left very happy! We would recommend booking with Satyam.”


“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!”


“Christina took fantastic care of our 8-month pup for an extended 10-day stay. Highly, highly recommend and plan to start here the next time we have to travel without the dog. Romo had tons of fresh air and clearly got lots of exercise from playing with a couple other dogs. Christina is kind, professional and responsive. She shared photos and updates every couple days. Drop-off and pick-up were easy to arrange. Overall I feel like Romo was in the healthiest environment possible outside of our own home.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Jingminh! She took care of our German Shepherd, Tandy, for the weekend and went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we dropped Tandy off, we could tell she was in great hands. Jingminh was incredibly considerate, responsible, and genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages, photos and video clips, and it was clear that Tandy was relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked Tandy up, she was calm, well-cared-for, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely to look after our dog. We’re so grateful to have found Jingminh and will absolutely book with her again in the future!”


“This is the second time I've used Nithya for my dog Millie. I was a little nervous the first time because Millie is only about 20 pounds, and Koda is a big Husky, but, true to Nithya's profile, Koda is very well behaved. Now there is also Snowy who is also very friendly. I think Millie and Snowy had fun together, and Koda made sure they were behaving themselves. Nithya was great at keeping me informed about how Millie was doing. Millie is a snuggler, and, thankfully Nithya let her snuggle as much as she wanted. I am grateful to have found Nithya (and Koda and now Snowy).”


“Our pet had another great time with Ms Cynthia and her family. This was a long term care and she gave all her attention and kept us relieved by sharing daily updates and pictures. Thank you!”


“Mindy was super accommodating when I needed a last minute sitter for Atticus! We did a meet and greet beforehand and Atticus loved her big, green, fenced in yard. She was available for a very early drop off and sent Videos of Atticus as well. We were glad that Atticus got along with her two tiny dogs because he is a big beast 😂 The best surprise of all when we went to pick him up and she gifted Atticus a goodie bag! We were both delighted! I won’t give away the surprise, you will just have to see for yourself What is in the goodie bag!”



“We have now used Evvery twice and once again it was an awesome experience. Our dog was in great hands, we received regular updates, and we were completely at ease while traveling. She has an amazing approach with our dog, and gives him the affection and time he needs. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and recommend Evvery to everyone. Just don't book her when we need her! :-)”


“Phil and Amanda are amazing pet sitters! They have watched our very active dog on multiple occasions and treat him like one of the family. We appreciate their frequent communication and their attentiveness to an animals unique needs and behavior.”


“Ivan did a great job taking care of our dogs Hank and Duke. They both have a lot of energy and Ivan made sure they got the exercise they needed on a daily basis. Ivan was kind enough to send pictures of the dogs to us on a daily basis while we were away. They always looked happy and entertained. We can't thank Ivan enough for the care and attention he showed our dogs. We would definitely use him again.”


“Khushboo is literally the best caretaker for my dog when I’m away. She took care of Murphy, took him out on walks on time and kept me updated with photos and videos. She made sure that Murphy is comfortable and also took time to play with him. I would definitely recommend her for your fur baby.”
