1. Ann & Jason S.

“Before booking they offered a meet and greet which I always find to be helpful. I booked them for 3 nights and an extended day and Teddy really enjoyed having a friend in their dog Albert! Ann & Jason were great with keeping me updated and sending photos, flexible when my return flight was delayed an extra 30 minutes, and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely use them again!”


2. Maria B.

“Maria is a great sitter. I just moved to the area and I am really nervous about leaving my little dog with people I don’t know. Maria updated me regularly and treated Kuji like a princess. She kept her safe and monitored who she interacted with. She even left us with a sweet note and photo! Thank you. I’m sure Kuji wants very much to come back.”

“Isabella is amazing! She welcomed our timid pup-Matilda into her home with warmth and kindness. She was attentive to Matilda’s needs and provided plenty of activity and attention.

8. Anais H.


“10 out of 10 would book again. I'm an anxious dog mom with an anxious dog, I always asked for updates and Anais responded quickly every time and put my anxiety at ease, thank GOD. Because dolce literally goes everywhere with me and this was my first time doing something like this. She sent amazing professional looking photos of dolce that I will be getting printed! He looked like he made a friend in Canvas, her dog and her daughter 💕 I deff reccomend you to book your pup with her!<3”


9. Julia G.

“Julia was amazing! It was my first time leaving our pup with a sitter and I forgot to bring her essentials over. She was very understanding and guided me very professionally! I could tell Fıstık enjoyed staying with them and the other sweet pup staying with her at the same time. We will have more upcoming travels, so I would definitely like to be a repeat client for Julia!”

I could tell she had an excellent time and she was well entertained during her stay as she spent the rest of the evening resting from a hard day of play and multiple walks Luis provided! I definitely recommend Luis! Most professional sitter I’ve had thus far!”
