I highly recommend German and will definitely be using his services again!”

“Eric and his wife are absolutely fantastic with my cat. They've taken the best care of him as well as helping him get over his fear of strangers. He always comes back well groomed and happy!”


“Kanade is one of the best sitters I’ve ever booked for Apollo. She was extremely communicative throughout, sent loads of photos and videos, and gave me updates each evening. She and her partner took Apollo out for playtime and gave him lots of snuggles during his stay. They even threw him a little birthday party with extra play time and treats! She was also very flexible with pickup timing. Overall would love to use her services again in the future.”

We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you John and Parker!”


“Shakira did so much more for our dogs than I ever expected. She took amazing care of them and showered them with love. Every day, she updated me with several photos and shared their daily activities. Even our dogs didn’t want to leave her when it was time to go. If I ever need someone to watch over my dogs again, I would absolutely choose Shakira. She is truly one of the most amazing sitters I’ve ever met.”


“Ariana and Andrew were great with Inigo! I appreciated that they were happy to meet last minute to see if our dogs would get along, and that they sent lots of pictures of him and checked in frequently. They were wonderful!”
