“Christine was great taking care of my dog and keeping me updated on how she was doing. I appreciated that she has a fenced in backyard so that my dog and her dogs could go out in the summer heat but for controlled periods.”
“Sush and her family were extremely accommodating and able to watch London overnight with only 2 days' notice, which we were super appreciative of. It's clear that London was well taken care of... thank you Sush!”

“Sandra and her family were amazing with Miles - long walks, going to the dog park, lots of love and play. They're a beautiful young family and have been great with all the puppies.”
“Lauren worked with me and my very skittish old dog to keep up both very calm during his first post pandemic boarding experience. Her updates were funny and frequent. She totally gets him which isn't easy. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Duke had a great time playing and exploring with Chulpan and their family. I was provided with updates and shown great care. Duke’s meals and walk schedule was transparent and excellent. Thanks so much, hope to see you again soon!”
“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Katie is an awesome pet sitter! She is very responsive and flexible with any need that arises. She also is very involved with the pets she over sees, she takes them to the dog park and sends tons of great photos and videos. I never have to worry about a thing with Katie as our pet sitter. I HIGHLY recommend you book Katie for your next pet sitting need!”
“Completely positive experience for both me and our dog, Oliver. Alyce and her husband, Rob, are exceptionally responsible and caring people who clearly take seriously their role and duties of caring for your pet. They hosted me and my pet at their home for a meet and greet (of them, their dog and us) that covered all relationships and questions regarding stay and care of our dog prior to either of us locking in the booking. During our pet’s stay with.Alyce, he received the very best personal care, was very well accommodated and Alyce went above and beyond to keep me posted with my pet’s integration into their family and how he was adapting to their home. All this gave me great confidence that he was being cared for and was totally comfortable with his time with them. Upon picking up my pet, Alyce took time to cover her impression of my pet and how he fared and about his daily adjustments. My pet was very happy upon my arrival and clearly had been cared for properly and with great attention and concern by Alyce. I could not be more pleased with this experience and would recommend Alyce without any hesitation as a very responsible and reliable Pet Sitter. You can put your full trust and confidence in Alyce to care for your pet while you are away. She is the best.”

“Luciana was absolutely amazing! She made me feel so at ease when I had to leave my baby for the first time while I was on a trip. She provided regular updates with photos and videos and my pup looked like he was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Luciana and would love to book with her again when I need to.”
“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”
“Nicole has been an amazing sitter for my dog. I appreciated the great communication and photo updates. I don’t often need pet care services but I would definitely rebook with Nicole.”
“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”
“Haley and Chris took great care of our golden retriever Flynn. Flynn really enjoyed playing with their dog Cooper and we were excited for them be buddies. They sent pictures and updates and their communication overall is great. Would definitely recommend others to use them and we plan to for future stays.”
“Another wonderful experience for our girl, June. She gets so excited when she sees Paul and when I pick her up I can tell she will miss him. It's also great that she sometimes gets to hang with other pups while Paul watches her. She comes home tuckered out in all the best ways and it feels like she got a vacation, too!”
“My family, is very glad that Judy reached out to us, offering care for our dog. She has a beautiful home, with a large fenced in backyard that is located at short distance from us. We felt, that our "Meet & Greet" with her, was warm, welcoming, casual, friendly and fully showed who she is, as well as the comfort and care she'd provide to our dog. During each day of his stay, We were provided, both, pictures and videos, of his activities on that day. His smile, in the pictures as he rested on his bed, said it all. To make his stay easier, Judy kept him to his daily home feeding and phycal activities. Also, we found that She was easy to communicate with, and available with a quick reply when contacted. Bottom line, We'd be very glad to hire her again to care for our furry family member.”
“Jennifer looked over my super energetic puppy and did an outstanding job. It’s very clear that she likes dogs and tries to make them happy. She sends photos and texts without asking and keeps you updated. You can definitely trust her with your fur baby!”
