1. Mary K.
“I researched quite a bit of sitters because I once had a sitter that had all these raving reviews, but didn't meet half the expectations in her description of care. Mary K responded quickly, set up a meet and greet immediately and is considerably more affordable than almost everyone on this site! Everything turned out great! Mary was on top of everything I have in my instructions for my two dogs' care, which involved her sending me a pic daily...she even added a little note on their well being. I would use Mary again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her and her services.”
2. Ariel M.
“Ariel took great care of my 1.5 year old and 6 month old Boston Terriers while I was out of town 6 days. They are both very high energy and loved playing in her large yard. Both were also getting over an upper respiratory infection, and she administered their medicine. Both eat fresh food, and she was able to accommodate their special feeding plans. She sent me pics and videos every day. A huge help for me was her pickup and dropoff service. I have a number of trips coming up the rest of the year and will definitely use Ariel to take care of my doggos while I'm away.”
3. Kyla G.
“Kyla is and was so amazing with my fur baby. For one, I was terrified because Eden has IVDD ( nerve condition that caused him to lose the functionality in his back legs) and I was like who is going to watch or even change a diaper on a dog. I have never seen anyone to attentive to my baby as if he were her baby. I’m so grateful to have found her and I will be a repeat client. Thank you again Kyla!!”
4. Dayana Q.
“Dayana was so flexible with me my flight got canceled last minute and I was late to pick them up due to traffic and she was willing to wait for me. She provided me with constant videos and feedback and my puppies looked like they had a blast and were well taken care of. Would book with her again!”

“Sarai was awesome. Even though our conversations were short due to a language barrier, she took care of Aly like she was one of her own. She allowed her to burrow on her sofa and even sleep on her bed. Aly had play time with other dogs and she had fun romping around in a huge fenced in yard. Sarai also updated daily with photos and videos. I will be booking her again for two weeks.”
