15. Luz G.
“I couldn't be happier with the dog sitting service provided! From the moment I met Luz and her daughter, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. They are incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly love animals. My dog, who can be a bit shy around new people, warmed up to them immediately, which was such a relief. I received regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which made me feel connected and reassured that my pup was happy and well taken care of. When I picked up my dog, she was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Luz to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
16. Kelly R.
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
17. Katia G.
“We are happy with the service. MALO seemed enjoying his stay. Katia remained responsive before and during the stay and provided us with updates (pictures and videos). The communication was great. Thank you, Katia, for taking care of him.”
18. Sue & Thomas K.
“Our pup had a great time with Sue and Thomas. They sent pictures every day and reassured us he was doing great. We'd without a doubt use them again in the future.”
19. Katie T.
“As always, my pup enjoyed her latest stay with Katie and Henry. Thank you, Katie, for all of the fun photos of Blu with the little dog pack! And thank you for being available last minute!!”
20. Julia & Matthes A.
“What an AMAZING stay Edna had! Julia and Matthes were beyond helpful. My dog needed some training reinforced while I would be away for two weeks and they were so willing to take the time to give her the attention she needed. I got daily updates with video and photo documentation :) Not to mention how flexible they were with my pickup time and having to extend another night. She had a ball with their dog Ruby and became best friends! So excited for her to stay there again in the future.”
