“Absolutely wonderful! Our pup had the best time and came home relaxed and happy. Communication was excellent! Drop off and pickup was super easy. Would highly recommend booking with Kristopher!”
“Tim was so good with Duckie! he kept us updated with pictures and letting us know what Duckie was up to! Tim took him on plenty of walks which our puppy loved. Duckie also had a great time with his new friend Gabby! I would definitely recommend Tim, he was great!”
“Ruth was amazing! She gave such great care to Parker who was recovering from an illness. She was above and beyond. She was extremely responsive and provided updates. She helped us in a real pinch!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my 16-year-old Chihuahua, Ralph! This was his first time staying with a sitter instead of family or friends, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Ralph did great—even around her two much larger dogs, which was such a relief! Lauren created a calm, safe environment, and her communication was top-notch. I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Good communicator, took great care of our Bo Bear. Her dogs are very friendly too!! Fenced backyard is so nice and she has lots of gates inside to accommodate door dashers (like mine). Would book again. A++. Thanks so much Linda!!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Extremely happy. Buddy liked Samantha right away. Drop off and pick up were super easy. She sent me pics of my little guy so I could see that he was adjusting well. Definitely will book with her again.”
“Björn had an amazing stay with Tatyana and her family. He especially got along really well with Biscuit, the resident pupper. Tatyana kept us updated with how Björn was doing. She also made sure he took his medicine as we instructed. That was probably the best part about Tatyana as a sitter: she made sure she was taking care of our dog exactly as we would. 10/10 will definitely be using her next time we need a sitter.”
“Leslie is so patient and kind! It sounded like my dog was a little more rowdy than usual (suspecting due to new medication she was placed on) and Leslie appropriately reached out to check if I had tips or tricks to make her feel more comfortable. She reassured me many times to not worry, which was nice to hear she had the situation under control! Would definitely trust Leslie again to watch my dog!”
“Felix has some of that 'dog whisper' magic. He was generous with sharing his home and love while watching our dog. We can tell our dog felt secure and relaxed while under his care and had some fun of his own while we were away.”
“Toby, my dearest little 8lb. Cheweenie fur baby does wonderfully with Pam and her small fur baby crew! I am so grateful to have Pam and her fur family to care for Toby. He has a blast. Pam always goes above and beyond for Toby. Moreso, Pam is very intuitive and provides for Toby his likes and preferences such as his favorite sunspot, placed bed in front of heater vent, food preferences. Huge she let's him sleep with her at night as that is what he is used to with me. Upon picking Toby up, although he is always happy to see me I can very much see he has bonded with Pam and her sweet pups and cats, making his stay very nice and positive experience. Pam and her fur babies have become like extended family as Auntie Pam and his fur cousins ❤️”
“Jenn was great! I had a little emergency and She was able to board Ella the same night that I requested. She sent me pictures of Ella both days. Ella seemed happy when I picked her up. I would definitely board Ella with her again.”
“A wonderful experience! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding our dog, but at the meet and greet Jacob had each of his dogs meet ours one on one. The dogs all got along, and I think ours was excited to have other dogs to play with! She was with them for three nights, and was well cared for. She came home happy and healthy - it is such a relief knowing we have a future resource for times we can’t bring her with us, and it was so nice knowing she was in a home with a big fenced backyard, instead of in a kennel. Thank you for taking such great care of our Daisy girl!”
“Bailey had a great time at Lindsay's house. Her daughter Kate was very involved as well! She got lots of love and play time with her new friends. We wanted to choose a dog sitter who was affectionate and a home body, as are we. This was our first time we left our " baby' at home and the daily videos helped us miss her a little bit less. We will definitely bring Bailey to Lindsay's house next time we leave town.”

She was very welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs. She cared for Neko like he was her own. He enjoyed his stay and got along with her dogs. I highly recommend her services he even got a complimentary spa day for her first visit! Francisca kept in touch with me while I was out of town and sent videos I greatly appreciated that. It made me feel comfortable.
Katrina took great care of Max. We could easily see how comfortable she felt with Katrina and her dogs and she came home a tired pup! Katrina communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know Max was doing well and offered to help and go get additional dog food when she realized Max wasn’t going to have enough to last in our absence. Would definitely use her for dog care again!
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
This was our first time using Rover and Camilla made the experience so wonderful! Roman had the best time staying with her and she kept us updated the entire time so we never had to worry! He got to play in her amazing backyard and she took him on lots of walks! Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future! ❤️
Molly was amazing! Our dog clearly had a great time staying with her, as we got pictures and updates of him snuggled up and out and about. Molly was also very easy to get a hold of the whole time and super understanding about our greatly delayed flight. Hopefully our pup will be visiting her again!
