1. April L.

“My pup has separation anxiety and April kept me updated on his progress. She was very patient with him and gave him what he needed. Thank you again!”


2. Lee J.

“Lee did a great job with my dog Riley. They were flexible about the start time for daycare and sent pictures to update me. Riley had a really good time sitting out back in the sunshine, and was happy and relaxed when I picked him up.”


3. Magdalena H.

“My two dogs absolutely love hanging out with Magdalena! They can always rely on her to pay close attention to their needs, play with them, get them exercise, and they get along great with her dog Espresso too.”


4. Lilly R.

“Lilly was incredibly attentive, providing frequent updates, photos, and videos of our dog Hana. Seeing Hana so relaxed and happy under her care was simply wonderful.”


5. Sophia L.
“Sophia is such a loving and caring pet sitter! My partner and I had to go on a last minute trip and needed someone to watch our dog and we’re so glad Sophia was available. Our dog Mia felt so comfortable around her and we know Mia had a blast staying with Sophia. I received updates/pictures of Mia throughout her stay which made it feel like Mia was with us throughout our trip :) I highly recommend booking with Sophia if you’re looking for a pet sitter or someone to walk your dog!”


6. Tara Dawn A.

“Tara and Leo were prompt, communicative, and wonderful with my dog Choux! He clearly warmed up to them quickly and had a lovely day at their house. Tara sent us photos of him looking very content receiving belly rubs. I look forward to booking with her again!”


7. Fuliang X.
“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”


8. Azar H.

“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”


9. Krystle T.
“Krystle is excellent with dogs. She has grown up with dogs and is an amazing dog owner. As a true animal lover, she will ensure that animals under her watch are well cared for. She is able to adapt to all dogs, regardless of breed or size. She will tailor her care to their needs whether playful and energetic or dogs who are more anxious needing extra comforting. As a dog owner herself, she takes the responsibility of caring for dogs very seriously and follows owner preferences/requests. She also knows updates with frequent pictures ease being away from your pup. Would highly recommend!”


10. Anthony A.
“Anthony and Nikita are awesome. They took great care of our 6 month old AmStaff, Oso, no easy feat! They are extremely attentive providing snuggles, playtime, picture updates, and a thorough report on how the day went. Thanks for taking good care of our fur-baby!”




11. Latricia K.


“Koa was initially apprehensive about being left behind but was having a great time only an hour or so later. When we picked her up, she was relaxed and, while happy to see us, would have been fine hanging out longer. This stay was just a few hours so we could go out to dinner, but I would bring Koa back for a longer stay.”


12. noni p.

“I recently got my first dog and was a bit nervous putting him in doggy daycare for the first time. He also has separation anxiety and that didn't help my nerves. Noni was super kind and made me feel comfortable right away. Her two dogs are sweet and during the pet sitting she kept me updated with how my dog was doing and sent me pictures. All of this helped ease me and my dog loved her. She was able to ease his nerves and make him feel comfortable. I'll definitely book with Noni again because I know she'll take good care of him!!!”


13. Aman H.

“Aman was excellent with Deuce. He came back happy, excited, and ready to play. He sent me a pic of Deuce while in his care, and gave me updates during his time there. I’d definitely book with Aman again. He was pleasant, polite, and kept me updated. Great vibes all around.”


14. Neia P.

“Libby had the best time with Neia! She had so much fun with plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and window gazing - all of her favorite things. She can't wait to come back!”


15. Andrea L.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”


16. Stephan M.
“Stephan loves animals and is a very responsible caregiver. He has watched and walked our 2 small havanese and they always greet him with a wag and an excited bark. We have left them with him overnight with great results.”




17. Gregory R.
“I relied on Greg to provide a safe and affectionate environment for almost two years before I moved to Southern California. My pup, Frankie, came from the shelter with a fear of men which made finding a pet sitter a challenge. I once asked my male neighbor to walk my dog as a favor, and he was afraid that my nutty little Spaniel was going to bite him! In contrast, Frankie never ever feared Greg, and that gave me peace of mind when I dropped him off. Greg was also cognizant of Frankie's sensitivities and took care to not expose him to fearful situations unnecessarily. Frankie loved going to Greg's -- even saying Greg's name around the house elicited ear perking and head tilting. Greg's dog, Theo, is a big lovebug and played well with Frankie, too. Greg is a dog lover of all sizes and will care for your fur baby like family. I never had to worry that my fur baby was going to miss his meals, his medication, or come home dirty or traumatized. If you are looking for a reliable and caring dog caregiver, I highly recommend Greg without any reservations.”


18. Antonia L.

“Took great care of old man Bruce 🐾✨❤️”


19. Albina G.
“I’ve known Albina for several years, and she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. As a friend, she is always reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful, making her someone you can truly count on. Her love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with them—with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I have no doubt that she would make an excellent pet sitter. Anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter would be lucky to have Albina!”


20. Chanakarn & Jakree V.


“I was so nervous about leaving Milan for her first day care visit but she did well and Chanakarn kept me up to date with how she was settling in and included photo updates completely putting my mind at ease. The drop off and pick up window was flexible and the communication was prompt. I will be using Chanakarn again!”
