Isaiah is beyond excellent! He sent us so many kind updates about Pascal, dealt with frustrating parking in the South End, and left our place über-clean. We will definitely book again!

She was willing to accommodate the odd schedule I had so I could go out with a peace of mind! I had a good time and my dog was safe and content when I came back.

We loved having Liliana and her partner watch our senior pup Kira! She was so sweet and calm with Kira when meeting her and my dog immediately took a liking to her. We got pretty regular updates on how Kira was doing with some pictures so we knew she was in good hands. Our dog also has some special needs with acid reflux episodes and Liliana did an awesome job communicating with me when it happened and kept Kira calm to get her through the episode. When we got home, they had already washed the bed sheets and towels and the house was super clean and well kept. Kira also was happy and looked so good! Will definitely be using them again for our future trips!

Mayra was very responsive when first booking and throughout the sit. She came for a meet and greet which was wonderful and put my mind at ease. I received updates and photos for the two nights she stayed with my pups which always makes my time away more relaxing. I came back to a clean and tidy house and happy dogs. Highly recommend and I would book her again anytime.

My pup immediately took to Molly as she walked through the door. You can tell that she has experience with dogs just watching her kind nature towards Mila. Mila. She is a rescue just figuring things out and can be a bit timid at times, and Molly was incredibly patient. She interacted and played as much as Mila would allow. Being a bit anxious to leave our pup for the first time, I appreciated the open communication she had with me as well. Would definitely book again! Thank you again Molly :)

Jenna was amazing with Barkley and Catalina. She spent so much quality time with them, keeping them well entertained and properly spoiled. She provided thorough updates and lots of pictures each day. Additionally, she was very respectful of our house and left it better than we could have asked for. We will definitely be reaching out to Jenna if we need a dog sitter in the future.

I was so grateful that Asher was willing to watch my pup for her very first house-sitting experience. I came home to a happy pup, and spotless house, and got great pics during Asher's stay with Koa. My dog has some particular reactivity issues, and Asher did a wonderful job working with her within her boundaries and maintaining her routines.

Lili is very experienced and a great communicator. She cared for our kitty for 8 days while we were away. Although our cat hides from all newcomers and can be quite determined in doing so, Lili was able to entice her out for pets and play several times and reliably sent us updates while we were away. We were grateful to have her help and to know our recluse was getting some love and care in our absence. Very glad to recommend Lili!!

Griffin house sat and watched over our 2 Great Danes for multiple days and we were very pleased! He cared for them, took them out, and provided photos of them throughout the day so we did not have to worry. He was very professional and timely, and even did a little extra around the house that he did not need to do! We highly recommend Griffin and we would book again for any of our needs.

Yesica has stayed at our house and taken care of our dog Tucker on several occasions. She does a great job and Tucker loves having her over. She spends a lot of time with him and makes sure he has everything he needs. Yesica is very responsive and send pictures of our pooch. We will use Yesica to watch our pets again.

Kristine is one of the best dogsitters we have ever had! We adore our dogs and we know they are in caring hands when we leave them with her. She sends us multiple photos and videos each day and gives them lots of walks and hugs. She will follow any instruction~ for example, we were having a hard time getting one of our dogs to eat at one point and we were having to sit down on the floor with them and spoon feed them! We felt funny asking her to do this, but she totally obliged. She has experience giving medication to animals and taking care of geriatric and disabled animals. The best testimonial is this one from our dogs ~ when she comes over they are so excited they both get the zoomies, even our 12 year old poodle! They know that it is playtime and she is going to smother them with affection and attention. I couldn’t recommend Kristine more highly!
