“Denise was excellent! She took great care of my dog by making sure he was slowly introduced to her own dogs, gave him lots of space to play, and gave thorough report cards. She was very personable and was available for my family at the last minute. Thank you, Denise!”
“Gargi and Sourav are fantastic with my dog. Waldo seemed to get comfortable instantly and their dog Archie was a great company for my dog as well!”
“Rocio have been absolutely a blessing to my Rosie, black Lab puppy. We are so relieved and happy that someone other than us can keep her safe and joyful. She plays hard in their care and comes home super tired.”

“We had a last minute booking due to an unexpected situation and we were desperately in need of a babysitter for our little guy. Karla was extremely responsive, friendly, and caring. My little guy just walked right in to her home as if he knew her all his life. He looked so happy when I picked him up. I will definitely recommend Karla and will be using her services again.”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”

We completely trust her with Kuku and are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend her for your four-legged loved ones! She’s amazing!”

About: I've had dogs all my life! My pup Toffee is my best friend, nothing beats coming home to someone who's always so excited to see you! I take care of friends' and family's dogs while they're away as well - both large and small. I spoil them and always want them to feel at home while their person is away. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! Intermittent games of fetch between zoom calls are always on the agenda as well! Lunchtime breaks consist of lots of play time, and after work I usually make sure that we spend a good amount of time outside. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! I love giving lots of playtime and cuddles on the floor, and love being able to take them out to the park to run and play, or just a leisurely stroll around the block! I'll practice commands too with lots of treats and praise!
“Brianny is amazing! She is very experienced and loving with the pups. My dog settled in with her right away. She is super communicative and organized which is very helpful with trying to coordinate her services and also when working to make sure she has everything she needs to care for the pup. By the second day, my pup didn’t want to leave her! Can’t wait to work with her again. Highly recommend her and will be booking her soon!”
“Christina is amazing. She was able to accommodate a last minute request even when she was super busy. My dog, Bagel, was immediately at home with Christina and her family. Communication was fantastic and I would be really happy to book with Christina again.”
“Rosemeri was a great dog sitter for our little Betty. She kept us updated with pictures and video of our pup while we were out for the day. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Chulmin and Hyojin were great at communicating with us and very accommodating with scheduling and rescheduling. After we dropped off our puppy, Chulmin and Hyojin kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day! We were nervous about leaving our puppy with a dog sitter for the first time and we are so glad we’ve found Chulmin and Hyojin. We’ll definitely book them again!”

It’s clear she has a genuine love for dogs and takes great care of them. I felt totally at ease leaving him in her hands and will definitely be booking with her again!”

I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Benji had such a great day with Gargi and Sourav and Archie! He got to run around in the yard, play, and was clearly super well cared for the whole time. I loved getting all the photo updates throughout the day. It was so nice seeing how happy and comfortable he was. You can really tell he was in good hands, and Archie was such a fun buddy for him to hang out with. Benji came home happy :) Would definitely book again!
Jinghong is amazing! She always keeps my girlfriend and me updated on our little man’s progress throughout the day. She sends photos and videos so we can see how much fun our golden retriever is having. Her dog, Yogurt, is the sweetest dog in the world. He welcomed our little guy with open paws when they first met, and they’ve been playing and hanging out together ever since. It’s been so comforting to know he has such a great buddy. Jinghong takes care of our little man like he’s one of her own. She always asks how we’d like him cared for and checks in to make sure she’s meeting our expectations—never overstepping, just showing genuine care and professionalism. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Jinghong and Yogurt for our little guy! 😊
My dog sitter cancelled last minute before a friends wedding, Kat was able to take my dog in on an hours notice. Kat provided pictures/updates through out the stay, and was exceptionally accommodating to the last minute booking. I highly recommend Kat for your pet sitting needs.
Danny (and Rebecca) showed much patience when I called. He answered my questions, even if I repeated (I'm older and sometimes forget). He reassured me when I asked what his daily dog schedule is When I made inquiry with concern about Meshy's foibles, he was direct, informative. He did not personalize as a question of his ability, but understood questions as a concern about dog behavior. When we setup MEET & GREET, he introduced dogs, 1 at a time, giving Meshy and his dogs, a chance to meet without being overwhelmed. He remained approachable, but let Meshy approach him in his own time. I found Danny to be alert and perceptive to dogs, patient with my concerns as 'dog parent'. I would definitely return for care for Meshy.
Susan was absolutely wonderful! She was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly accommodating to our fur baby Kuku’s needs. He’s 12 years old and on medication, and she handled everything with so much care. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. We completely trust her with Kuku and are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend her for your four-legged loved ones! She’s amazing!
