“The absolute perfect sitter - we’ve never seen Cream be so playful and happy with anyone other than Whidbey (their resident cat), and Sudharshini sends us copious amounts of videos and pictures every day. She truly cares. We have found our go-to sitter!”
“Maria is amazing! She took care of my pup for 8 nights while I was on a business trip, and I couldn’t be happier. She made sure my energetic 11-month-old puppy felt welcome and comfortable, and she was a fantastic communicator. Maria is now my go-to person, not to mention she’s a true dog lover!”
“Stephanie’s overall approach, attentiveness, and communication (pictures, videos & messages) when taking care of Piper (5 y/o Collie/Aussie mix) gave me an ease that reaffirmed to me that Piper was in good hands. I will most definitely be reaching out to Stephanie for future boarding needs and could not recommend her enough!!”
“Mengyuan did such a great job with both my cat and dog. I received updates and pictures from her daily, she is very attentive and communicative, I would book her again and would also recommend her to anyone!”
“Samantha was very communicative the whole time- she kept me updated, and was very accommodating to my dog's reactivity. She took very good care of my dog and I would highly recommend her!”
“Celeste was incredibly friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. She was patient with my anxious dog and made sure to create a comfortable environment for her for the weekend. I plan to work with her for any boarding needs in the future!”
“Jessica was phenomenal!! She took such good care of Tony, who can be shy and quirky. I had a more relaxing trip because I knew Tony was in such good hands. She was communicative, friendly, sweet, attentive, and responsive. I’d absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!!”
“I had to leave my Akita-mix on a somewhat last minute notice for a few days. Thankfully Justin was able to take care of Nikko and was an excellent sitter. Experienced, communicative, and receptive of my dogs personality. Would highly recommend!”
“Laila was an amazing sitter for Blue! She was very communicative and send videosand photos throughout Blue's stay. She was very attune to his needs and checked in when she needed support. I could tell that she loves and has a soft heart for fur babies and gives them her attention and care. I would definitely use her again.”
“Emily, Patrick, and Conan are such a wonderful family. This was our first time to leave our dog Coco with someone and we were a little worried at first if she would be ok without us, but they took such good care of our dog. Coco is picky about her food, but they made sure she ate properly, and it seems she had fun playing with Winter! Also, we thank Conan for playing with Coco! They also responded quickly and provided frequent updates, so we never had to worry about anything. We're really glad we met this family!”
“Waylon had a great time playing with the other doggies during his stay! I was nervous about leaving him during the NYE fireworks, but he was well taken care of.”
“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“this is my second time booking with marlene and she is amazing. she makes sure she sends pictures of your pet everyday (much better pictures than i can take haha) and will take your pet on amazing adventures :)”
“Pixel absolutely loves his time with Catherine. She is a great communicator, pays close attention to Pixel's instructions sheet, and he is always in great spirits when we get him back. Thank you!”
“John is absolutely wonderful! He not only took great care of Charlie, but also communicated well with good updates and cute photos. I hope to be able to leave Charlie with John again in the future :)”
“Lauren was amazing, and will absolutely use her again to watch my pup. She was great at communicating and sent lots of great photos. My dog loved her dog, and I think is coming home a happy and tired doggie!”
“Debra is SUCH a sweetheart, Poppy loves her, her husband and all her toys/treats! She is a wonderful person to be around, and yes I would love to board with her again!❤️”
“Regina is the best! My pup came back happy, tired, and clean - a tough combo to achieve! I loved all of the pictures and videos Regina sent and definitely plan to have her hang out with my pup again.”
“This is the second time our 1 year old lab stayed with Kandice and family and he stayed for longer; 10 days. He seemed so happy and pooped when he came home. Kandice and family take the time to get to know him, work with him on things like leash walking and appreciate his foibles like chasing squirrels and playing tug-of-war with their dogs.”
“A little bit of a language barrier but she did a great job taking care of my dog on a last minute trip and she took great care of him and sent lots of photos. Would recommend!”

Luciana was such a wonderful dog sitter! She asked all the right questions about care and cadence of check ins, was perfectly communicative, and left me with a ton of great shots of Garbanzo. I could tell they had a great time and felt really good about the time. 10/10 would recommend
Saba is wonderful. This is the third time that Tamas has boarded with her, and each time gives me 100% confidence that he’s in good, loving care. Saba is very easy to book with, responds quickly to messages, Andrew is totally dependable. She absolutely deserves her 5-star status.
Came back to Nhi as she took care of Loki so well before!! I can tell Loki has a wonderful time since he was whining when we left! She made sure to also send me multiple photos everyday, and as someone who is extremely attached to their dog, I was extremely grateful. If you want someone who goes above and beyond for your pet, I will always recommend Nhi :)
Rebecca was great with Pepper! She was very responsive and provided daily pictures for us. We felt confident in leaving Pepper with her and she absolutely followed all of our directions. She also handled all of Pepper’s behaviors super well. I would definitely book with her again (if she would have Pepper again)!
Erica is rad! She was willing to meet up prior to our scheduled time to see how our dogs got along. She’s very chill, responsive, and has so much experience with all types of doggos. Really appreciate her flexibility and sending me cute photos and vids while my lil guy was at her place. Would highly recommend and would rebook again.
Maureen is just amazing and I felt so at ease leaving my pup with her for our 4 nights out of town. When I picked him up he had so much pep in his step and I could just tell he felt comfortable and had a good time. We will definitely be booking with Maureen for all future sitting needs 🩷
