“Nicole was great at giving me updates while I was on my cruise and barely had service! I appreciated the meet and greet prior to give me peace of my mind that Grim would be comfortable with a sitter for a week. He was very spoiled and got the best treatment! Thank you Nicole!!!”
“Maxine is wonderful! I was nervous about the idea of dropping off my fur baby with a stranger for a week but Maxine really cares about the animals she dogsits. From the moment I started texting her I knew she was the one I could feel comfortable leaving my Bella with. Not only did she give Bella her meds and keep up with her feeding schedule and potty breaks, she loved her as if she was her pet. She cuddled with her and took several super adorable photos and shared them with me throughout the week. I would absolutely call Maxine again to look after Bell for me and know she was loved and taken care of. This route is 1000× better than using a boarding service especially for my pom that needs love and attention. Bella enjoyed her time with Maxine. Thank you for everything, Maxine! 😍 ❤️”

I will definitely bring him back when I need a sitter.”

Had another great sit with Frances. She gives regular updates and provides special attention to my partially-disabled pup (which is alot of work!). I highly recommend Frances!
Maxine was fabulous! She took great care of my pup and sent me lots of photos and updates for peace of mind. I highly recommend!
We were at first apprehensive about leaving our dog, especially during a holiday, but Marcus is excellent, we plan to use his services again! Our dog is happy and seemed to have had a blast. Thanks Marcus and family!!!
Keith was great! He provided a lot of updates and pictures and Myla seemed super happy when I picked her up.
My dog was very happy and was treated well. He came home tired from walking and playing all day long. Would hire again!
Chante was wonderful with our dog, Summer! She did a meet and greet with us beforehand, which made us feel completely comfortable. During Summer’s stay, Chante sent us daily pictures and updates. Summer was well cared for and happy doggo. She had a great time with Chante and her dog. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!
Olivia was great! She was responsive and super easy to work with, and I got Bella back happy and healthy after over a week.
McKay was so thoughtful and attentive with providing updates of our pup! George was the best playmate!
Best dog sitter! I loved the pictures and videos Katie sent during Leo’s stay at her house! It gave me peace of mind and made me happy knowing he was enjoying his time! Would recommend Katie to anyone!
I always have total peace of mind when I’m traveling because I know my little Charlie is in the best hands with her. He’s so happy and well cared for every time. Thank you for making it so easy to be away!
Jocelyn is amazing!! She’s so kind and you can genuinely tell that she loves dogs! She provided my pup with great care and provided me with lots of updates and pictures! I had total peace of mind knowing that my pup was in great hands while I was away.
We had never left Jjong with anyone else for 11 years. This was the first time we had him with Matthew, and he updated us with pictures on the first day, which made us feel comfortable. I have no hesitation in contacting Matthew. I will be entrusting him with my work again when the opportunity arises.
Calix is the best!! Calix was very flexible when our flights were getting delayed and was available last minute!!
Alyse was the best! Her communication was amazing and her flexibility with a last minute sitting request was greatly appreciated. Our dog absolutely loved being at her home from the moment she got there! I loved receiving the photo updates. I honestly feel like I scored the dog-sitter jackpot by connecting with Alyse. I highly recommend her and will definitely become a return customer!
Benny was so happy to get to stay with AK a second time. She is super caring of our senior dog with special dietary/medicine needs and separation anxiety. Thank you, AK!
Rachel is great as always! This was Nori’s first sleepover with Rachel and her pup and she loved it.
Sara accomodated me and my dog with a last-minute request for a lengthy one-day stay. She is friendly and attentive and kept me updated on the stay with photos and comments throughout the day. This was my first time having Sara take care of my little one and I will be looking to have her take care of him many more times in the future.
Highly recommend. Madison was amazing with my pup Indie. She sent lots of pictures and updates & I felt so assured that my girl was well taken care of.
Priscilla was great! She tooo great care of Wally and was very accommodating and communicative. Will definitely be rebooking with her.
Diane and her husband gave my puppy a real home and lots of love. They already have a small dog, so my Ruby had someone to play with. She went on walks, and was well taken care of. I will think of Diane first, the next time I need help taking care of my puppy while I am gone.
