“Malik was amazing!! Buggy is a very high energy dog and he handled her perfectly. He sent pictures of her every day and she came back home very happy!! Will absolutely be using Malik again for drop off services or more!!”
3. Howard & Kathleen R.
“Howard and his family were so welcoming to me and my dog! They are clearly knowledgeable about caring for dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving Vashti with them. They were even savvy enough to navigate a multiple dog household even though my dog's dog manners aren't the best. Vashti will be staying again!”
4. Jayme B.
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

9. Mariana A.
“Our dog Finn had another great stay with Mariana. This is the 2nd time he’s stayed with her and he really enjoys himself playing with her dogs. No problems with the booking process.

10. Stephanie P.
“Stephanie had a houseful of dogs when I dropped Kasha off for her first time there, and Kasha was a bit overwhelmed. But photos I received from Stephanie soon after showed Kasha looking calm and comfortable. Stephanie is obviously very experienced with dogs, and Kasha was well cared for. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”
11. Bruce B.
“Bruce is an excellent sitter. He was so attentive to my fur baby’s needs. His communication and pictures was top notch. I highly recommend him to sit for any of your pets. Wish I could give him more stars but only 5 are allowed. Will definitely have Bruce sit for my dog again!”
12. Ruby H.

14. Maja A.
“Maja was so great with my dog, Zoey! I was a little nervous to drop Zoey off with a sitter because she was having some anxiety but Maja was extremely understanding and immediately put Zoey at ease. She is super communicative and accommodating. She also lives adjacent to a park and took Zoey for lots of walks / hikes in the park. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your pets!”
15. Anne-Marie I.

18. Anthony Q.
“Anthony & Monique were amazing! It’s hard to find someone who loves our James as much as we do so it was great to find a great couple who communicated with us as much as they did and sent numerous pictures and updates! Thank you both and we will definitely be calling them in the future”
19. Irving M.
“Left my dog with Irving 2 nights and I can tell my dog loved it there, he did not want to leave!! He was trying to go back inside when I picked him up! Irving is very responsive and friendly. I got a tour of the apt and it’s very neat and clean with lots of green space around. Would definitely bring him back.”
20. Kristopher N.
“Kristopher was fantastic with our pet, Arya! From the very beginning, he was communicative and attentive, making sure to ask all the right questions to understand Arya’s needs and routine. We received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Arya came back happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It’s clear that Kristopher genuinely loves animals and takes his job seriously. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again in the future!”
