“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”

Iris and Louis are wonderful and we couldn’t recommend them enough! They took such good care of our dog, Rufus while we were away. Iris sent me regular updates and pictures everyday - from the walks, play times, hiking,.. it felt like we sent Rufus on vacation and he was having the best time with them which made us feel so much better and at ease knowing he was getting all the love and care from Iris and Louis.
It's comforting to know that your pup is in good hands with Dilip. When you can go out of town and not once have to think about whether things are going to be OK, that's a sign of a good caretaker. I've boarded with Dilip multiple times and am glad that there are people like him to open up their homes and provide such selfless service to the care of animals. Thanks, Dilip!
Michelle took care of my black labrador mix recently for about three weeks, a repeat booking. At my request, I received regular updates via text pictures. My dog received lots of attention during his stay. Lots of walks, stick fetching, and swimming adventures. When I picked him up, he was very soft (clearly lots of swimming) and very happy. Without reservation, I would recommend Michelle for dog care in the future.
Tara and Max were wonderful sitters for Ruby over a long weekend. She got along great with their Aussie and was absolutely enamored with the foster kittens in their care. Their home was welcoming, communication was smooth, and they were very friendly throughout. Would definitely book with them again!
