“This was my first time to receive service from Minori and it was amazing experience. Exceptional is an understatement! Her attentiveness and the way of taking care of our dog Marshall are really commendable. She constantly update us by sharing videos of walking to pee, having fun time playing with him and giving him treats. It really allowed us to feel relieved and fully enjoy our trip. We would be happy to entrust our beloved pet to her experienced hands again in the future. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to her family for their exceptional love and care towards our fur baby and welcoming our boy into their home. We feel incredibly blessed to have met you all. Thank you! * I definitely recommend Minori to be your pet sitter, she will go above and beyond and give love to your pet as if it’s her own!”

“We were incredibly lucky to find Michael. Mateo is a high-energy, reactive Aussie Labradoodle puppy, and Michael was the perfect match. Mateo stayed with him for six days and received daily walks/runs, structure, and amazing care. Michael’s communication was outstanding — daily updates, photos, and even activity stats. I honestly wondered who was on vacation, me or Mateo! Michael is professional, reliable, and truly knowledgeable. He noticed a possible ear infection, shared helpful advice, and even offered to take Mateo to our vet. When I mentioned Mateo had missed grooming, Michael offered to take him to his groomer as well. Even when Mateo had a classic puppy moment and chewed up a pair of their expensive shoes, Michael and his wife were nothing but gracious and kind. Michael genuinely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely use him again and are already recommending him to other dog owners.”

Minori was fantastic with our dog Roti! We needed to find someone last minute and were lucky enough to find Minori. It was clear Roti was loved and had a wonderful time with her and her family. We appreciated how proactive, diligent, and thoughtful she was in asking questions about Roti and the updates she provided each day gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely have Roti stay with Minori and her family again the next time we need a sitter for him!! Thank you so much Minori!

Bosco had a wonderful time with Akio (oh, and Angela and her family were pretty cool, too). He enjoyed the walks, the dog park, the constant company and wrestling with Akio - the icing on the puppy cake was the crunchy homemade sweet potato treats (I'm jealous myself). 10/10, would book again :)
