“Joanna is great. She asked the right questions and was very responsive whenever I asked her one. She kept sending pictures and videos during the stay. Our dog, Luna, liked her and went back to her even after I was there to pick her up. It gives you such a peace of mind when you know someone as caring is watching your pet. We plan to use her again.”
“Kate was fantastic. She very quickly answered my request and fit me in with just two hours notice. She was so loving with my dog, and she took pictures many times. And her two young children were simply wonderful, also. I could tell at the time, in the pictures, how happy they were making Frances. I will definitely ask her to work with Frances next time I come up.”
“Poppy had such a great time here on Christmas Day! Avi was awesome and took such good care of her. She was the only small dog there that day, and there were 4 other bigger dogs but they were all so friendly and Avi was very attentive and careful with gradually introducing Poppy to them. You could easily tell that Avi loves dogs with how he interacts and talks about the dogs that were there that day. He also sent us videos of Poppy having so much fun. So much so that she was so tired even until the next day! I would never hesitate to have them care for Poppy again in the future! I highly recommend!”

“Jojo had a wonderful time with Jaimie. I messaged her about meet & greet before booking and she was so flexible with scheduling. I reached out to her with a very short notice and she still agreed to take care of my jojo! She sent me videos and pics throughout the days and it was so easy to communicate with her. Jojo loved playing with Jaimie’s dog, Ollie who is so friendly. I’m so so happy I’ve found Jaimie in my area. If you’re looking for a good sitter, stop looking! Jaimie is the one!”
“It was my first time to leave Maui with a sitter and I was anxious at first but Savi made it really smooth for both Maui and me! She handled the transition so well, Maui was comfortable right away and had a great time with her. I will definitely use Savi for future dog sitting needs for Maui.”

“Anna and Zilin took Mooncake in on last minute notice and we couldn’t be more thankful! Mooncake had a great time and we would love for them to dog sit her again :)”
“I can’t express enough how wonderful Sara was with our little Peanut. I had come to grips with the fact that I probably won’t be able to go anywhere this summer because I didn’t want to take my dog somewhere where they would crate her or where she would be with a bunch of other dogs until I found Sara. She was absolutely wonderful and she treated her like one of the family. She only takes one dog or one household of pets at a time which makes me feel even more comfortable. My puppy absolutely adored her and her family and so did I! Thank you Sara for all your did. I know you will see Peanut every time we are away or even just out for the day like we did today.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Hope’s service! I went away a few weeks ago for a three night trip to NYC and needed someone to watch my pup. My dog, Bandit, is usually quite shy when first meeting people, especially someone new, but warmed up to Hope immediately! She sent us daily updates with pictures, and verified our necessary information countless times throughout Bandit’s stay! I returned back home a few days later to a well played with and perfectly exhausted happy pup 😂. I highly recommend Hope to anyone looking for a perfect caretaker of their furry friend!”
