“Dutch loved his time with Ric!! I got tons of cute pics of Dutch while we were away and he was a happy, tired pup when we picked him up from a fun weekend of playing!”


2. Rachel B.

“This is the second time Rachel has watched my dog, Bug. Both times. I felt very comfortable that bug was well looked after. And she seems to genuinely care about my canine family member. She went out of her way to make sure that Bug was entertained during my short absence. I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone to Rachel for pet sitting. I know I'll use her services again!”


3. Adam C.

“Adam is the best companion and sitter for your dog you could ever imagine. Our dog Auggie spent 12 days in Adam’s home during our recent vacation and we could not be more grateful for the care, love and attention he paid to Auggie. Adam opened his entire home to our dog, got to know him and bonded with him super quickly; he took him regularly for long walks, dog parks, visits to his friends and other dogs, and shared daily with us countless pictures of their joyful activities. Thank you Adam, Auggie and you have bonded forever.”

“My fur baby Tanner love Kathleen. I love that she sends pics all the time. Keeps me from wondering if he is ok. Clearly he is and he doesn’t miss me when he is with her and Lady. Thank you Kathleen for watching my little one, you are a lifesaver when I need you.”


13. Emily & Patrick M.

“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”

I highly recommend Victoria to watch your dog as I very much trust her with mine.”

Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
