1. Renee S.

“Winston loved his stay with Renee. She provided updates throughout out his stay and kept him busy with walks and trips to the park. She clearly has a love of dogs and is great at caring for them. Highly recommend.”


2. Marina H.

“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”


3. Linda C.

“Linda was amazing. She sent daily updates with pictures of the dogs. The updates made us feel comfortable knowing the dogs were doing so well. We will definately use Linda again in the future for our dog sitting needs!”


4. Molly H.

“Molly was wonderful!! She was communicative (I loved the daily updates with photos) and did so much to keep our dog busy and exercised. She came home extra tired and extra happy. Would definitely recommend!”


5. Carol R.

“Carol was super nice and super flexible. She checked in and sent pictures of Benny his whole stay. Carol provided such a peace of mind for me and my family and Benny was pretty happy ?. I will definitely book with Carol again.”


6. Pam P.

“Pam did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She was understanding of Aubrey’s needs and kept me updated with lots of wonderful pictures and videos so I could rest assured my puppy was having a great time while I was away. Aubrey came home very tired out from so much fun time playing with the other dogs!”




7. Donna F.


“We were very pleased with Donna's care of our dog, Nora, for 24 hours. Nora tends to be anxious in new situations, but Donna was calm and loving so that Nora seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her up. So glad to have found a great companion for our dog when we have to be away!”




8. Leslie T.

“Our dogs loved their stay at Leslie’s house. Her fenced yard and flexible schedule were a huge bonus to us when picking a pet sitter. We knew our dogs were in good hands which gave us great peace of mind!”


9. Tatyana W.


“Tatyana and her family are so kind! Meeting her before was the best thing so my dog could get acclimated to her space and her dog. She sent so many pictures and gave ample updates. She’s so knowledgeable and kind and moving forward will be the only one watching my baby. He was so comfortable and felt right at home. You can tell Tatyana truly has a passion for dogs! You can travel comfortable knowing your pup is in good care!?”


10. Sean D.

“As always, my dogs were well taken care of while under Sean’s care. His willingness to continue to watch my rowdy bunch is appreciated. My dogs are always so happy to go and tired when they’re back home.”


11. Angela & Erik N.

“Angela and Erik took great care of Tag, paying attention to her needs even when it meant getting up early to let her outside when she indicated she had to go! It was reassuring to know that they were familiar with the side effects of her medication and monitored how she was coping with being in a new place with a different routine. Since they only dog-sit one at a time (as they have their own pup), I had no worries about Tag, a senior girl, feeling overwhelmed (she met theirs ahead of the boarding date and they got along fine). They were friendly, responsible and flexible when it came to pick-up time.”


12. Kris B.

“Kris was so awesome with our little Lila. She was warm and caring ... and her husband provided all the cuddles Lila craved! Kris went above and beyond, and made my trip out of the country much less stressful. She tag-teamed caring for Lila with my daughter. They worked together seamlessly. Would definitely call on Kris again!”


13. Samantha M.

“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”


14. Joshua H.

“Excellent experience, 10/10 would book again! We felt very safe having Cherry at Joshua's house for the weekend. She came back to us happy as a clam having had a vacation of her own instead of having been scared or overworked the whole weekend as has been our experience at large facilities. We got just the right amount of photo and video updates of Cherry's time there. She even got to go on a field trip! We are very grateful!”


15. Derek K.

“Cooper loves visiting Derek, Athena and Harley! Derek is very accommodating when I need a sitter last minute. We both appreciate him very much 😀”


16. Lindsay R.


“Bailey had a great time at Lindsay's house. Her daughter Kate was very involved as well! She got lots of love and play time with her new friends. We wanted to choose a dog sitter who was affectionate and a home body, as are we. This was our first time we left our " baby' at home and the daily videos helped us miss her a little bit less. We will definitely bring Bailey to Lindsay's house next time we leave town.”


17. Jeasy R.

“Jeasy was an awesome sitter! She provided me updates and pictures throughout my puppy’s stay, and was a great communicator at all times. My dog is roughly 5 months old and can be a handful (as puppy’s are) so I appreciated her patience with him as well!”


18. Megan O.

“Megan was amazing. We got wonderful pics and updates twice a day. One of our pups likes to eat things he shouldn't and she was very vigilant with him. I felt our dogs were very safe while we were gone and they clearly had a great time playing with all of the dogs. It was so nice to know the were in great hands. Highly, highly recommend.”


19. Missy & Peter P.

“They are very nice peoples and took care of our doggy for 3 days. They sende us a lot of pictures and we are very satisfied. We will definitely return and we recommend them as a good host for puppies. Thank you !”


20. Evvia M.

“Evvia took great care of my dog Kevin! He came coke so tired from playing all weekend. She is so responsive, which really made all of us feel taken care of :)”
