We left our dog & we came back to her wanting to stay with the other dogs. And she has done nothing but sleep since she got home. Except she acts like a dog in between.

Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!

I can’t thank Gol enough for taking such amazing care of my dog. Because of my student situation, my dog lives with me in an apartment and isn’t very social, so this was the first time I was leaving him with someone else. I was honestly very anxious. But Gol completely changed that. She took him out to her large backyard every two hours for playtime, and she kept me updated with videos. Seeing those videos made all the difference — I could clearly see how happy and relaxed he was. Even from the way he wagged his tail, it was obvious he felt safe, comfortable, and emotionally cared for. I’m truly grateful. She went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. I’ll definitely be a regular customer from now on.💚

I truly cannot say enough incredible things about Bassam. I booked with him on less than 24 hours notice during a stressful situation, and he showed up in every possible way, and then some. While traveling on a work trip, my pup had a medical emergency, and Bassam didn’t hesitate for a second. He took him to the vet on my behalf, carefully followed through on all instructions, administered medications, managed diaper changes, kept him clean and comfortable, and closely monitored his behavior every step of the way. The level of attentiveness, responsibility, and compassion he showed gave me complete peace of mind in a situation that could have easily been overwhelming. Communication was exceptional. He sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout each day, which made such a difference in helping me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Beyond the emergency care, it’s clear that Bassam genuinely loves what he does. He has created a true “pet oasis” at his home. My boys had the best time exploring his huge backyard, playing, sniffing, and socializing with other pups. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Bassam goes above and beyond in every sense. His attention to detail, his calm and capable presence, and his genuine love for animals set him apart in a big way. It’s rare to find someone you trust this completely with your pets, and I am so grateful we found him. I will absolutely be booking with Bassam again—he’s not just a dog sitter, he’s a total pet whisperer. 🐾

Katie was great with Koko! My usual sitters were booked for the week, so I was thrilled when I found Katie’s profile and she was able to step in. Her reviews speak for themselves! She clearly takes wonderful care of her furry clients. She responded promptly and even agreed to meet for a quick introduction before Koko’s stay. Throughout the week, she sent daily updates and pictures of their adventures, so I always knew how Koko was doing. I’ll definitely be using Katie’s services again and highly recommend her!
