“My puppy loved staying with Mariyana. I have a 3 month old puppy who stayed 2 nights and she made sure to send me videos and pictures of him which eased my mind a lot. I’ll definitely book again!”



“It was wonderful having Alicia watch Snoop Dogg. He made friends with her dogs and loved having a big yard to run around in. She is a lovely lady and updates with cute videos and pictures.”



“Ashely was wonderful with Remi! She sent me pictures every day and kept me in the know with what Remi was up to! Can’t wait to book again so her sweet dog Heidi and Remi can play again.”


“Absolutely loved Jocelyn! She kept me constantly updated with pictures and made me feel super comfortable with leaving Kenzo with her for two days while I moved. He had an absolute blast and I will definitely be using her again for both boarding and daycare, she’s the best! Highly recommend! Thank you Jocelyn!”


“I am EXTREMELY grateful to have found Erica! She's great with dogs and their humans too lol. I was able to leave my baby with her and there was not a moment I was worried about him or felt he was not getting the best love and care. I've already rebooked with her and recommended her to a family member of mine. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur baby.”


“Asha was amazing with my dog, Sir! I dropped him off at her house for 5 nights, and she made sure he felt right at home. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Sir looked happy and comfortable the whole time, and it was clear he was well cared for. I would absolutely book with Asha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”


“Michelle was AMAZING, she was so patient, thoughtful and caring with my dog. Maca and I absolutely love her. She is the BEST and will be booking her on repeat.”


“Selen was absolutely amazing. She boarded Mischa (Belgian Malinois puppy) for a week while I was out of town. She not only scrubbed Mischa’s crate after Mischa had an accident, but when Selen dropped her off, she did not want to leave her side! That’s the ultimate review/5-star feedback 🙂”


“Second time using Andrea for Archie! My dog is very anxious and he does well with Andrea and her family. She sends pictures & pays attention to details about him!”


“I can’t thank Gretchen enough for taking such amazing care of my dog! She treated him like their own, with so much love and attention!! I got updates all the time with pictures and videos, which made me feel super relaxed knowing he was in great hands.. 100% recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!!!”


“Kelsey is great! Super flexible with setting up the initial meet, drop-off and pickup. She sends pictures and updates throughout their stay. Definitely recommend using Kelsey if you’re looking for a dog sitter.”


“Leslie was really great with our pups. She was super accommodating to any needs we had and always sent us pictures. We felt at ease leaving them with her and knew that they were in great hands. When we got the pups back they looked like they had an awesome time and were very happy. I can’t wait for them to stay with Leslie again and would highly recommend her :)”


“I needed to leave for a funeral, for a week(last minute). Franco immediately accepted my booking. I even forgot to bring my dogs food and Franco already had it covered. He responded every time I sent a text with a picture or video and a response in less than 10 minutes if not 5. Even the times I was distracted Franco would send a video of my dog comfortable and having fun. He also helped me out with a few issues I was having with my dog including (mounting). Gave me tips on things I could do better and very obviously taught my dog as well. I would never leave my dog with anyone else but Franco in the future! Even planning on booking a couple days each month just so my dog can hangout and have a great time!! You cannot go wrong booking with Franco!!!”


“Marcela and Michelle took amazing care of my puppy while we were out of town. They constantly sent photos and videos of him and kept us updated throughout the day. I 100% will be using them again to watch him again!”


“Very happy! My dog had a great time, was well taken care of, and if i could I would give this a 10/5 star review! Thank you for everything you did and for taking such good care of Dr Erickson!”
