Norma has a great time with Alan and Luis. She loves playing in their big backyard with all the other dogs. They send thoughtful and frequent updates and photos, and really treat her like one of their own.

We are so grateful for Christle! She went above and beyond taking care of Scooby and kept us updated throughout his stay. When our flight was delayed, she was incredibly kind and flexible about extending his stay. It’s such a relief knowing Scooby is in such loving hands. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!

I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.

Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!

Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!

Our experience with Tiffani was wonderful from first meeting to pick-up! We were nervous about leaving our dog for over a week but Tiffani made us feel comfortable. She was very responsive to text messages and took the time to have a meet-and-greet with her dog before booking. She asked relevant questions about our dog and assured us that she would follow our instructions. Tiffani sent us pictures and videos of our dog interacting with her pets and her son; these were comforting and entertaining! She was very flexible about pick-up and drop-off times.

We had a wonderful experience with Haoran and would absolutely give her 5 stars. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful questions that made us feel confident and at ease leaving our dog in her care. Right after drop-off, she sent us a message with photos to let us know how our dog was settling in, which was incredibly comforting. Throughout the three days, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could clearly see that our dog was getting plenty of playtime, exercise, good food, and enjoying time with the other dog. When we picked her up, our dog was calm, balanced, and happy—which says everything. We would recommend Haoran anytime. She has a beautiful space with plenty of room for dogs to play, and she took excellent care of our dog while keeping us consistently updated, which we truly appreciated.

This is Andrea's 2nd time sitting for my fur baby and I trust her completely. She is very nice, very friendly, very understanding, very helpful and very patient. The 2 times she boarded my pup were last minute requests and she accepted the job and took him in with no problem. She and her family are very nice, polite people. She always replies to my texts and messages and sends photos and videos without me having to ask. My pup was well taken care of the time he spent with Andrea.

This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.

Such a great Sitter. So kind and punctual. Very good with dogs and knows what she’s doing. Kept open communication throughout the stay and I was able to relax knowing my baby was in great hands! 10 out of 10 if you’re looking for someone whose loving to dogs & knows what they’re doing Nevaeh is the person! I will definitely be keeping her as my preferred sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
