1. Renee & Christopher L.


“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”


2. Vanda S.

“Vanda was great! Frankie warmed to her so fast and loved spending time with her. She communicated with multiple photos every day and I could always see his tail up and wagging knowing he’s having a great time. Can’t wait for her to watch him again.”


3. Uriel H.

“Our experience with Uriel was top! Our 60lb rescue mutt is not used to going with new people and easily gets anxious. Uriel totally responded to our needs. He kindly met us the week prior for a meet and greet. He even walked us through his house so our dog would recognize it when we dropped her off the next week. Uriel was in great communication with us. He responded quickly to our questions and sent us unsolicited updates which we greatly appreciated. Absolutely recommend, thank you Uriel!”


4. Maggie & Matthew & Winnie & Edmond Y.


“Maggie & Mathew are true dog pros and a delight to work with. Very knowledgeable about dogs as they are k9 certified. Very communicative and will send lots of cute pics and videos. I don’t trust my pups anywhere else!”


5. Kennia R.

“This was Dash’s fourth time staying with Kennia and he always runs into her home and never looks back 😂. We take that as the ultimate sign that he loves staying with her.”


6. Christine & Mark C.

“Thank you Christine and Mark for taking great care of Mac! He had a great time staying with you and we loved getting pics and videos of what he was up to while we were gone. We would definitely use this service again and recommend choosing Christine and Mark. :) Thank you!”


7. Ingyin M.

“Ingyin was fantastic!! I received consistent updates and photos from her regarding Jerri’s stay with her and outlined exactly how things were going! A wonderful sitter who made Jerri completely comfortable during her stay while also easing any concerns I had during my trip. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a safe and fun place to leave your pup!”


8. George & Ludmila A.

“George and Ludmila took care of my dog Artie for a week while I was traveling. This was the longest time I’ve had Artie stay with someone who is not family, and thanks to their communication and experience with dog sitting I was comfortable and at easy knowing he was in good hands. I appreciate that they only take one dog at a time, and that their location is near nice walking trails.”

Carol & William also send us regular updates and several photos and videos that made us feel great about Violets care. Thank you both so much! We hope to see you again soon!”


11. Sam G.

13. Sihwan & Yoojin K.

“Absolutely lovely couple! We had a meet and greet with them and we felt instantly comfortable with them. They're both very pleasant and friendly and have a clean and beautiful home with two outdoor play areas. Our pup Hira seemed to enjoy exploring their home as soon as she walked in. We boarded her for just one night. We were happy to see photos from them, she settled in quickly. They made her comfortable, walked her and fed her according to our schedule. They're responsible and care deeply for the pups in their care. I trust them completely to provide a safe space and loving care for my fur baby, needless to say, I highly recommend them!”

17. Karine D.

“Karine is such a caring dog sitter! She truly put my mind at ease when I went out of town on short notice. I am thankful my sweet old man Axle had a loving home to stay while I was away. He had his own vacation 😍 thank you so much K!”


18. Kira T.
“You might think you love your dog, but Kira just might love them more. After having Kira dog sit for me multiple times throughout college, I was so sad when we moved to different cities (as was my labradoodle Gus might I add)! No other dog sitter I've found so far can compare. 11 out of 10 stars!”


19. Karina M.

“I swear I almost feel like my dog Jude misses Karina and her family! I can tell she was well taken care of and got lots of love and attention. Would definitely book again! Thank you Karina!!!”

“Sonia is an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of my dog and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She clearly loves and understands dogs, and sent photos/updates. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Sonia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
