“Dylan is fantastic! We booked him to watch our dog Bruno, and he went above and beyond from the very start. He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”

This sitter has restored our hope in leaving our little guy with someone who truly cares for and spoils him. She’s very responsive and sends updates frequently. Drop off and pick up is smooth and we have no complaints. She even taught him how to go up and down stairs and a few manners. We have rebooked several times and plan to continue.

Diego and Natalia are THE BEST SITTERS for my Snow who demands love, attention and closeness. The photos of Snow playing with their cat's toy, at the window with their cat, both of them looking out of the the window is a regular meeting place with each other. At home Snow has started perching herself on the back of our sofa and even enjoying some of her best naps of the day. My family is very grateful for the care and attentiveness of Diego and Natalia toward Snow but also to the other pets being boarded during the same time. Photos of the pets hanging out together are reassuring that all the pets are well regarded by these sitters.

Brieana and her family were absolutely amazing! We had a last minute cancellation with the person who typically watches Vito and she responded immediately and set up a meet greet. We could sense the comfort Vito felt with the family the second he walked in so we already had an overwhelming feeling of calm going into our weekend. When picking him up he was so happy but also super relaxed and it was clear he had a great stay with them. I couldn’t suggest Brieana enough. She will be at the top of our list for Vito I’m pretty sure he’s found a new best friend 😊.
