Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!

Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

Jenevieve was absolutely AMAZING! We ended up getting back late from our vacation due to some unforeseen circumstances and she was more than willing to watch our pups for a couple extra hours. I could tell they were so well taken care of while there and she helped me feel at ease leaving our pups with her. Such a sweet family and I will definitely be using her services again!

Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

My wife and I left the country for about 10 days and were worried because we have never left our dog with strangers or in a kennel because he is older and adopted. He has a weird routine and glaucoma so he needed a little extra care but they handled him perfectly and he fit right into their routine. Melanie and her family saved us 100%! They constantly sent us pics and updates on him which made us feel better. They took care of him as if he was part of their family and we greatly appreciate it. 10/10!

Christy & Erkam were so great. Daily pictures and updates on how our pup was doing really gave us peace of mind and let us know she was having a great time. They took the time to understand her schedule and habits which really shows just how much they care. Wouldn't hesitate to have them watch our girl again!

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!
