“This my second time booking and once again never disappoints! I absolute love my sitter she’s so thoughtful and detailed and the unlimited cute pics of my pup with others always makes me feel melted and happy. I’m so happy I can be a regular! Demi is Top Tier!!!!!”
“Whitney was beyond exceptional with our baby Milo. He is a puppy so he needed a bit more care & attention, which she gave him. She also provided lots of updates including pictures & videos. Thank you so much Whitney. We will definitely bring Milo back to you when needed! ☺️”
“She updated us with pictures of our puppy, and was understanding when he had accidents. She gave him plenty of attention and made sure he was comfortable with his surroundings! Outstanding!”
“First time user and I was nervous how our dog would do. She is a rescue and still learning how to be social with other dogs. Julie and family made sure she was comfortable and introduced her slowly. Julie was great responding when I checked in. Our dog came home exhausted so I take that as a good sign she was playing hard. It is hard to wear her out. We are very thankful to find a pet sitter that gives us peace of mind. We will be using them again!”
“Maria was the best sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent me updates of my dog throughout the day with some amazing photography skills! She let me know when my dog has eaten, went outside, or even taking a nap. I would definitely hire Maria as a sitter again if I am ever in that area!”
“Great communication prior and during. The girls seemed to enjoy their stay. Loved getting picture updates. So happy the girls have a new place they can go and be comfortable! Thank you, Shanna!”
“Anna was awesome ! She sent daily pics just to make us feel comfortable and know our boys were being taken care of. We were nervous because of our dogs takes a little bit to warm up but she was able to get him relaxed and updated us throughout the weekend. Would def rebook with Anna”
“This is our second time booking with Maribel. She gave us daily updates and sent us tons of photos. Our dogs love her and she took great care of them. I think I found my permanent dog sitter. 11/10 would recommend!”
“Thank you, Eliza for taking care of Bronx. I highly recommend Eliza. We had to stay out of town more days than expected. Eliza was kind to take care of Bronx the extra days. This was my first time leaving Bronx with a sitter, I felt very comfortable leaving Bronx with you. If we need a sitter in the future I will be contacting Eliza. Once again thank you. Gina G.”
“Bre was amazing with my Gunner. At the meet and greet she made me and my fur baby super comfortable. Bre is super accommodating and you can tell that she really loves animals! I will definitely use her service again!! Thanks Bre… Gunner misses his new friends and can’t wait to come back!”
“Akie is absolutely fantastic! I had my dog boarded with her for 9 days and she was sending me updates with pictures and videos everyday with my dog! She really does care for them and makes sure they get enough exercise outside, treats, and love. I would recommend her to anyone with their dogs! Thanks again!”
“Jill and Liz were great, I’d give them 10stars if I can. They worked within our range to board our 3 small dogs for overnight. Jill made sure the pets can explore and get accustomed to the place so my dogs get comfortable before we left. She set up my babies own spot as they have other dogs. We were very worried that they have other dogs in the home plus boarding too at the time because my dogs are aggressive towards other dogs and especially our little chihuahua who can’t be walked in the park because of this reason. To my family’s amazement, the day we picked them up, my dogs are mingling with 3 huge dogs—calmly!!! And my chihuahua was even standing under legs of another tall dog like they had a good time in general! None were aggressive and they all get along!!! Just for that experience for my dogs and the fact they were able to do that, is such a good plus!!! Thank you Jill and Liz!! Highly recommended multiple times over!!!”
“Sidney took great care of my senior dog while I was gone for a long weekend. When I came home the place was clean and just how I left it. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her my next out of town trip if she’s available.”
“Amazing as always. I even needed to change my dates slightly and John Michael was more than accommodating. He is very professional and makes it super easy and non stressful. I will always use John Michael to watch my dog. <3”
