Rizwan, Noorjahan and their family were such great sitters for our dog and cat! They are such a sweet family and we received many pictures every day. I was reassured that both my pets were having a great time with them! Will definitely reach out again for our next sitting.

Best pet sitter ever! My dog was incredibly well taken care of, even with additional medical and dietary needs. I received constant communication and pictures with updates. They treated him as if held was part of their family. I will trust Lori and Wil with my dog every time I need to leave him at home while I travel.

Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.

I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.

Diana and her family took such amazing care of my Estelle! This was the first time in almost 2 years my dog had to stay overnight outside of our home and Diana made her feel so comfortable. Their house is a perfect set-up to care for dogs and with a full family and 2 dogs to play with my Estelle was more than happy with her time there.

I’d like to share my experience with Christina, who recently cared for my dog, Moxy. Right before the boarding, Moxy had an injury, and I was a bit nervous about leaving her. But Christina was incredibly understanding and attentive from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure Moxy was comfortable and well taken care of. Christina kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. She made sure Moxy was fed properly and gave her the extra attention she needed during recovery. Despite the circumstances, Moxy was happy and relaxed with Christina — I could tell she felt safe and cared for. I’m truly grateful for the compassionate and professional service Christina provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.

Corinne took incredible care of my little June. You can tell that she is a very warm and caring person and that she loves dogs. She is very responsive and sent several updates and pictures while I was away. I had forgotten to bring my dog's special food and Corinne went out of her way to find an alternate one for her. She ended up sharing her own dog's food (The Farmer's Dog) with June and she loved it so we'll be switching dog food brands (: I cannot recommend Corinne highly enough!

Violeta was able to accommodate a last minute booking request when we were unable to get our dog in for boarding during our spring break. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs due to her experience as a veterinary technician which helped immensely since our dog has some special needs/mobility issues. She was responsive and sent pictures and videos of Scooter and her two dogs. We are grateful to Violeta for taking great care of Scooter and would highly recommend her services to our friends and family!
