1. Damian J.

“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”


2. Joseph L.

“Amazing experience for Joseph caring for my dogs. He gave exceptional attention to both dogs, keeping my active dog engaged all day. Parking is tight. Recommend texting him 15 minutes before arrival to ensure smooth entry. I’ll definitely use his services again when in the area. Highly recommend.”


3. Jennifer M.

“Jenni provides excellent communication and a really calm, loving environment for dog daycare. She takes just one dog at a time. She has a very sweet, mellow dog of her own. In addition to walks, there is a sunny and fenced in courtyard. The location is easy to get to.”


4. Haven P.

“Another Great experience with Haven. Easy pick up and drop off, she updated me throughout the day and sent photos from their adventures! My pup was exhausted which only makes the Rest of my day easier as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your doggo and loom forward to scheduling again!”


5. James T.


“James watched my newly rescued 7yo dog who is still decompressing and regaining her confidence! She came home bouncy and I can tell she enjoyed her time. Easy drop off and pick up! Sent a photo mid visit as well :) I'm sure Bailey would love to have another visit with James!”


6. Pia B.
About: Hey there! I'm Pia. I work from home, and becuase I own my own businesses, my schedule is pretty flexible and largely up to me. I have a comfy detached house (couch and bed lounging welcome), with a big yard (NOT fenced in), gated front porch, and nice long lead (if your pup likes some solo sun bathing). I have an 11 y/o shepherd/husky mix that is great with other dogs, not territorial, and very independent - he'll likely ignore/be very indifferent towards your dog if they're both at the house at the same time. I take him on walks at the beach, douglas preserve, and around the neighborhood at least twice per day, and your doggo can join if you're comfortable with that! King is with me every other week. I've owned and cared for dogs my entire life, all rescues, so I'm comfy with all the quirks. Always happy to do one offs, but super love to build a relationship with your guy/girl and love repeat customers :) When I have King, we do both an AM and PM walk (either leashed around the neighborhood, or off leash at Douglas Family Preserve, or one of the beaches in town). If schedule allows, we sneak out mid-day too, and if not, we at least spend some time sitting outside together in the sun. We hike the local trails as often as possible too! Breakfast for us is usually around 7a and dinner around 5p, but can be flexible to your dog's schedule. When I don't have him, it's no biggie to follow a similar schedule as when I do since I'm used to it. My home is minimal (not a lot to get into / destroy / etc), and all my rugs, couch, bed, etc are all dog friendly. Trash is in a drawer, and I can easily put the few food items I have on the counter up higher if your dog likes to counter surf. I'm used to the hair and sand, etc that comes in with dogs, and not bothered by it. My room has a fenced in balcony off a sliding glass door, so if your dog likes an indoor/outdoor lifestyle like mine, it's a great way for them to get some fresh air and stay close.


7. Ryan K.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dogs than Ryan. From the moment we met, I felt completely confident leaving my pups in his care. He was incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Ryan sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would 100% recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Ryan!”


8. Honey T.

“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”


9. Hilary R.

“Hilary is fantastic! She’s been so flexible and communicative with me in planning/logistics and was so warm to my dog, Eula. I could tell she (Eula) was having a great time at her house and all the dogs seemed happy and relaxed. I’m so grateful my dog has great people to be around and glad to have Hilary as extra support.”


10. Elissa C.
About: I had a dog when I was 10 and usually took him out for walks. Unfortunately, he passed away few years ago. And now I have 2 cats back in my parents’ house. Im willing to take care both cats and dogs! I often take dogs out for a walk from shelter and i am enjoying it! I am working part-time and have plenty of time to do something else. I can spend time to play with pets and I do enjoy playing with pets. I have fenced yard and camera around the house that I can check on the pets. I have cats equipments at home since I already have 2 cats.


11. Alexandra D.

“Alex was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Our dog came home exhausted as they went on multiple excursions with Alex. We feel our dog was well cared for during her stays with Alex. Thank you Alex!”


12. Ash V.
“When it comes to taking care of dogs, Ashley is amazing! Her huge heart really shines through when taking care of them, and I've seen first hand how she prioritizes the needs of the dogs, and if not her own pet, the desires of their owners as well. I know she's gone through a couple very difficult passings of family dogs in her life, but she has channeled that love toward the pets she is able to care for now. I know this as I have seen how she cares for other people's dogs like they were her own and am amazed to see how the dogs trust her so quickly! She is responsible with feeding, walking, and cleaning after them. Additionally, she is timely to respond when you need to contact her and is genuinely friendly! She's a friend to dogs you can trust.”


13. Naoko G.

“I recently booked sitting services for my dog to Naoko, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. Naoko is incredibly kind and attentive with my dog, and it was clear that he felt at ease and genuinely enjoyed his time with her and her family. I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such a nurturing environment. I’m really grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter, I highly recommend Naoko!”


14. Courtney M.

“Courtney took great care of my two anxious little rescue pups! I could tell they had a relaxing time staying with her, which is no small thing, since they tend to get very nervous with a new sitter. I would definitely use Courtney’s services again.”


15. Grace & Anthony C.

“Ripley's first stay with Grace was today and I could tell she had a great time & was well taken care of!:) thanks again Grace!”


16. Candice T.

“Candice is absolutely amazing!! My boy Skye went to her for daycare and Candice went way over and above any expectations I may have had. She took Skye on long walks, including the beach, and Skye just fell in love with her. She is a warm, kindhearted and loving soul, and I would recommend her ten thousand times over. Thank you Candice!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”


17. Miguel M.

“Tucker came home happy, healthy, and well loved. Something every pawrent needs to see to know their baby is in good hands. Miguel is a true pet professional and an asset to the community.”


18. Andrea R.

“Andrea was a good communicator, attentive sitter, and bonded well with our pup. We would not hesitate to book her again.”


19. JP G.

“JP was so great! She took our booking on short notice, was flexible with the times, sent pictures throughout the day, even let Bruce eat some of her dogs food! She went the extra mile (literally) and took him on a walk before we picked him up. He was exhausted and had a blast!”


20. Isaiah L.
“Isaiah is incredibly responsible, present, and kind with my dog (mid-sized puppy). He is creative in coming up with enrichment games and takes him on long walks/hikes. My dog always comes home happy and tired!”
