I was in desperate need of a dog sitter for my puppy Shelby before a work trip and Chad really came through. I instantly felt comfortable leaving Shelby with him and his family. Shelby and his Pom became instant friends as Chad sent me pictures of them snuggling together.

There’s no place like home but this is the closest place to it. Wonderful, warm, loving and caring home by a wonderful, loving and caring person. And her dear sweet mother too! 5 stars all around. I had to find a sitter on extreme short notice and I was so thrilled that Chawntea was willing to accept my pup with less than 12 hours notice and for a 13 day stay while I was out of the country. My pampered pooch was treated like her own and I honestly think she may have came back more spoiled than when I left her and after that much time away it was a wonderful feeling knowing she was cared for so well. She even gave her a bath! Definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to future play dates w/ Bailey. Thank you so much!

Kelly was amazing. She is so thoughtful and caring, and she truly treated my dogs as if they were her own. She sent frequent updates, which made me feel good. My dogs had so much fun during their stay with Kelly! I was desperate to find a place for my dogs after I canceled our reservation at Wag hotels last minute. I’m so glad I did and that I found Kelly here! Highly recommend!!

Luna was immediately comfortable around Ogechi and her dogs! They have a great place with lots of room to play and roam, and it seems like the whole family loves dogs - basically a doggy heaven. Ogechi sent updates and photos to let us know how Luna was doing and she was very helpful with communication prior to Luna's stay. So happy to have found a new sitter for our girl.

Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.

Jeff and Beth were so fantastic to work with. Our pup seemed to have a really nice time (we weren't sure he was thrilled to be back home). They were very responsive and gave lots of appreciated check-ins about how things were going. We would be excited to work with them again!

Not our first time using Charlene’s sitting services, and won’t be the last! She cares for your pup as though they’re her own and my girl (Púca), who can be a fussy eater with separation anxiety, loved her 2wk stay with Charlene! Púca requires a lot of stimulation to be her best self, and with the lovely array of doggie visitors coming through Charlene’s house (including her own pups & cats), it was the best gift Púca could’ve been given. We have a Fi Collar and Púca even hit her step record more than once with the amount of play she got!! I could also tell Púca was a little sad to leave her new best pal when I came to pick her up! Green flags for me!! There’s a reason she has 250+ 5-star reviews!

Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.

Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!

Riece and Vaclav were amazing! My dog is a bit high maintenance, but I had zero worries for Sally's 3-day stay after our meet and greet. They took her on a hike to Marin Headlands and out to lunch in Jack London Square! Riece sent me plenty of pictures and updates so I always knew how Sally was doing while I was out of town. I loved how caring and professional Riece and Vaclav were, and I especially appreciate them taking Sally in semi-last minute so I could visit family. I'll definitely be using them again in the future!
