Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!

With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!

When a different sitter cancelled on me two days before a three week trip, I was really nervous about dog care. Erika totally saved my trip by watching Otto - she was very responsive to my request and was willing to do a video call ahead of booking to make sure it was a good fit. She took great care of my dog and sent regular photos and updates. He’s happy and healthy and I would absolutely use Erika again.

Caroline was so sweet with our dogs. She went out of her way to construct a ramp to protect their backs on the stairs, which was so thoughtful of her. We appreciated it very much. She was very communicative, we received pictures and updates every day. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and her pets. They came back to us healthy and happy.

Paul was fantastic with our dog, Theia. He really knows dogs and understands them. Theia is a high energy pointer. a rescue weary of people, that loves social interactions with other dogs. He let her warm up to him at her pace and did not try to force the relationship. He posted photos and let us know how she was doing. By day3 she was going under his desk while he was working and by day 4 she was going between his legs and letting him pet her a little. He praised her and let her interact with his 11 week old kitten, which she’s never done before. We would have Paul care for Theia anytime.
