“We’ve started a weekly stay with Magdalena; she takes wonderful care of our golden retriever puppy and sends regular updates throughout the day! Our puppy enjoys playing with Espresso and is learning from his mature behavior as well. We highly recommend Magdalena as a sitter!”


4. Sam G.

“Sam and her husband are amazing sitters! They took the time to meet with me before hand and we chatted through all aspects of care for my 5 month old puppy. Their sweet older lab Snowy was also such a good pup, and I knew my pup would have an amazing time with them. They sent pictures and reached out with questions, which put my mind at ease. All in all, an incredible experience!”


5. Randy A.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Penny received. Randy did an incredible job accommodating our last minute request and was so attentive to Penny's needs. It was clear she felt right at home and was treated like part of the pack with the regulars. We loved seeing pictures of her having a blast at the beach and enjoying her walks—she came home tired and happy! We highly recommend Randy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Penny!”

10. Vanda S.

“Vanda was great, she was very patient, kind and caring for my senior dachshund. Gave him massages for his arthritis and cleaned his bedding after an accident. Was very understanding after something held me up at work and had to extend daycare for an hour. Would have her watch him again when we need her again.”

We appreciated this and know she will be well cared for during her upcoming stay in October. Thanks again for including her into your pack! 🐶🐾”


13. Jana M.
“Jana regualrly takes care of my 16 yr Australian cattle dog. My dog has specific needs due to her age, and Jana went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for. She was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure to follow all of our instructions regarding my dog being deaf and her mobility requirements. It did feel like she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to care for senior pets. I always, because of my dog's age ask for and receive regular updates via text and photos I do recommend Jana if you are looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter for older dogs who need a bit of attention.”


14. ELYAS T.
“Ely took care of my 3 chihuahuas while I was away visiting my family for the holidays. They're an amazing care giver for pets, I can see how much they love the animals and my babies came back smelling super good. They're very good at communication skills.”


15. Cindy Y.


“Oh my gosh, I cannot say enough about how WONDERFUL Cindy is! I have a very anxious chihuahua mix with a lot of social issues, and I needed to find someone to watch her during a long upcoming trip. I reached out to Cindy, who was kind enough to do a meet and greet session with us to get to know my dog. She was SO patient with my grumbly dog, and so we tried a day board next, with Cindy sending me a very thorough questionnaire to fill out so she could find out even more about my pup’s weird quirks and habits. I was so impressed with her attention to detail. Within minutes of being at Cindy’s home, my dog went from whiney to lovey and relaxed, and even gave Cindy lots of kisses and spent a good portion of the day sitting in Cindy’s lap. Cindy spent lots of time with her and sent me a ton of photo updates to calm my nerves. When I went to pick her up at the end of the day it was clear she had formed quite an attachment to Cindy- Cindy even gave her a little Mickey plush as we said goodbye! We can’t wait to board with Cindy again, and I’m so relieved we’ve found a dogsitter is who patient, communicative, and responsible! Thank you, Cindy!”


16. Radhika & Rohit K.

“I highly recommend Radhika and Rohit! They are such lovely people. Radhika is attentive to details, communicative and flexible. Olli was well cared for and clearly enjoyed his day with them!”


17. Richelle & Jonathan S.
“Richelle is a kind hearted and responsible pet owner. To her, pets are family, and thus receive the love and attention afforded to those in her own family. She will treat your pet as her own, and care for them as if they were with you. I can’t recommend her enough!”


18. Isidora R.
“Isadora has been an excellent care giver for the dogs in my business’ rotation. She has been assisting me for years with walks, boarding and day care. The dogs have an instant attraction to her energy, get wildly excited when Auntie Lola comes around and is great at providing the individual attention and love they deserve. Highly recommend her.”


19. Kevin B.
“Kevin is a conscientious and compassionate human who cares deeply about animals. I have witnessed him interacting with various animals for the first time, as a "stranger," and all were able to quickly warm up to him and trust him. I have seens both cats and dogs fall asleep in his lap, including one cat who knew him well and loved to sprawl out with her belly all the way exposed, totally trusting him! In addition to cats and dogs, Kevin has experience caring for tropical fish, coral, hermit crabs, and reptiles; he is a true animal lover and I would trust him with my pets again any day!”


20. Excel L.
“I always trust Excel to watch my elderly corgi Teemo! He cares for Teemo as if he were his own. Teemo can be a bit anxious in his old age and Excel is patient and warm and makes sure Teemo feels safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Excel as a reliable, communicative dog-sitter!”
