“Sofiya is a very kind and flexible sitter . I appreciate her attention to detail and the loving environment she provides to my pet . I can see the peaceful nature of my little one once he comes home from Sofiya’s day care because he is loved , engaged , socialized and nurtured. Thank you Sofiya”

“My pup had the best time at Grace’s! Grace sent so many adorable pictures of my dog relaxing, walking, and playing. My pup was all tired out after coming home from a fun day at Grace and Cooper’s house!!”

“I can always tell my pup had a great time with a sitter when she comes home and immediately plops herself on the couch lol thanks Heather for caring (and tiring out) my Lilo! Will book again :)”

“Karlin was great with my pups! My Newfoundland can be quite a lot to handle due to her size, but Karlin seemed to know exactly how to get her acclimated to time spent apart from mom. Karlin agreed to do a meet and greet before we had an extended day and was greatly flexible with scheduling. She sent check-ins and photos throughout the day.”

“Yenju is passionate, caring, responsible, detail-oriented, accommodating and very prompt in her communication regarding dogs in her care. From the get go she asked us many questions regarding Yogi's care and schedule and noted every tip/trick we told her. We could tell that she cares about the particular temperament and needs of each dog and learns about it before she hosts the dog. We had absolutely no doubt that Yogi was not just well taken care of, but loved and made comfortable during his stay. She even did a lovely photo shoot with him! Yenju went above and beyond even with us, alleviating all of our anxiety with gentle affirmation! ❤️ We loved receiving all the videos, photos and messages about how Yogi was doing. Thank you so much, Yenju! We will definitely be booking with you again soon.”

“So delighted to find Madhumita. Her quiet affectionate calm and patience letting my dog, who has a trauma history, come our of his shell was just what he needed to feel comfortable. Her elderly lab is also a friendly, calm, and reassuring presence. So happy to see my pup relax and make himself at home-- in her home!”

“Norelvis and Chris were wonderful in taking care of my puppy. They were very caring and understanding. I’ll definitely bring my puppy to their care again.”

“Exceptional Sitting Service – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of using David services , and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I booked, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The sitter was punctual, friendly, and incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was handled with care. What stood out most was their genuine dedication and warmth. Whether it was keeping everything tidy, engaging with Jaycee and Jilly , or simply providing peace of mind, they exceeded expectations. Communication was seamless, and I felt completely at ease knowing everything was in capable hands. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitting service, I highly recommend David. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”

“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”

“Very kind and friendly, thanks for taking care of our doggo!”

“Abby was great with our rescue pup Ella. She comes home happy and tired after a day of play with Abby and her pup. We won't hesitate to bring her back for another stay.”

“Pam did a great job caring for Bailey. She took Bailey on multiple walks, provided photo and video updates throughout the day, and even went above and beyond by feeding my dog in a puzzle feeder, which she loved! I can tell she’s very attuned to dogs’ individual needs. Communication with Pam was straightforward and easy. I appreciate her attentiveness and care, and would definitely recommend Pam to other pet parents. Thanks Pam!”

“Great communication, sent pics of our pup throughout the day. Met us at a convenient spot much closer to our campground to make it easier on us. Flexible timeframe. Great first experience with a dog sitter.”

“Kara was wonderful! She was able to take care of Jake last minute, was flexible and easy to work with. Communication was great, got lots of cute photos while she cared for him, and took him on a hike which he loves. Would love to work with Kara again when I am in the area next time. Highly recommend!”

“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”

“When I met Ashley she was involved in Pit Bull rescue and foster care. It was apparent she had a kind heart and good canine skills. We worked together in Search and Rescue on a K9 team. As her trainer I saw her work hard to accomplish the goals necessary to become mission ready. Obedience and socialization are part of the K9 sign off requirements. Ashley and her K9 partner Popeye excelled in all parts including these skills. Her knowledge of general dog care and training skills are solid. During her time on the team she was always a team player. She actively worked with others to help them complete their goals. She is continuing her SAR career as a handler working with Monterey Bay Search Dogs and CARDA. I highly recommend her for any type of work involving dog care. Your clients would be blessed to have her work with their dogs. Happy Tails!”

“Amelia has great communication skills and she is very thoughtful when it comes to care-giving. She has previously house sat for me and watched over my dog and 2 cats. Very trustworthy and attentive to the care details! She is responsible and treats my animals so well, I always feel safe about my pets and my home when she is watching over them :)”
