“Christina and Nick watched our large Rottweiler for 6 days. Christina provided very helpful and detailed updates multiple times per day. Meet and greet, pick up, and drop off were all agreed upon and followed. Wonderful hosts - thank you!”
2. Kun J.
“Kun, his wife and their pup Som were incredible hosts to Thor! They were amazing communicators, consistently kept you updated, and were extremely mindful to ask about any health concerns, allergies or tendencies. Thor was very sad to leave them but he will definitely see them again! They also provided us with the cutest Polaroid photo of him and Som! Thank you both so much for allowing Thor to stay with you!!”

“OMG! He was amazing sitter, I’m definitely using him again. I was afraid to leave Chipper, but I was sent photo of him all through the stay. Best sitter ever and very amazing with my dog. I highly recommend them”
4. Geoff K.
“We are so happy to have found Geoff, Jenny and family. Snickers was treated like one of the family. She had plenty of friends and activity to keep her engaged. We loved receiving plenty of updates throughout the time away which included pictures and videos. We have found Snickers 2nd home when we are away. It makes us feel so good that we don’t have to worry that she will be taken care of in a loving home.”
5. Marcy G.
“Marcy was soo amazing with my cat!! She provided a wonderful, safe home for him for two nights, and she kept in regular communication with me. She is such a kind person, also. I will definitely rebook her.”
6. Paola H.
“Paola is a great caregiver. She and her family took very good care of our very elderly dog who needs constant special care and attention due to his age and kidney disease. At this age and with frequent need to pee, it takes a lot of work to keep him clean and from having accidents and mixing his prescription food twice a day. Paola did an excellent job caring for him, washing his bedding and clothes, giving him lots of petting and love to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away for a very long 12 days. I highly recommend Paola as an excellent, experienced dog sitter and are super grateful to her and her family for the daily updates and pictures, and for giving us a peace of mind knowing that our Desi was happy and well cared for. She and her son also were so generous in giving him a bath too, so he could come home clean. Thank you, Paola.”
7. Charlie U.
“Charlie was great! Very responsive and kept us posted with updates throughout the stay. He is very knowledgeable about animals. Will definitely use Charlie again in the future.”

“Pamela was amazing with our American Bully, Mochi, and Shiba Inu, Miso. I needed a sitter last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! I’ll definitely be bringing them back. Highly recommend booking with her!”
11. Karla O.
“Karla was amazing! She recently took care of my German Shorthaired Pointer, Olive, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos that showed how happy and comfortable Olive was. Karla’s attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. It was clear that Olive was in great hands, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for.”
12. Alexandra M.
“Alexandra was fantastic! She was happy to arrange a meeting prior to our dog’s first boarding with her. She appreciated my printed instructions and sent many photos. She was extremely quick to respond to my messages and it honestly could not have gone more smoothly! Will definitely keep her as part of our “pet care team”.”
13. Ninoska R.
“I needed someone to care for my timid foster dog, and Ninoska was the perfect choice. Her glowing reviews gave me confidence, and she exceeded my expectations. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and her fenced yard gave me peace of mind. My pup felt right at home with her, her dog, and her warm environment. Thank you, Ninoska—I’ll definitely return!”
14. Andrew L.
“I cannot recommend Andrew enough as a dog sitter! It’s always been challenging to find someone who can handle my energetic dog but Andrew was absolutely phenomenal. He was incredibly responsive from the start and kept me updated with regular videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog clearly had a blast and was well taken care of. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Andrew is the one!”
