“Kirsten did a great job sitting for my puppy! He recently had a procedure done so he is recovering, and she followed all instructions and kept me updated. As a first time, puppy owner I’m nervous about what to do w him, but I’m definitely grateful for sitters like Kirsten that can watch him while I go to work especially these first few days.”


“This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.”


“Beth was great! We were in town for the baseball game and didn’t want to leave our dog in the motorhome. Beth took Chloe on a walk, snuggled with her, and got her a pup cup! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.”


“Yantian did a great job watching my pup with loads of updates and pictures! He does watch multiple pups at once so just be aware of that if your pup doesn’t do well with others but we had no issues.”


“Eva (aka Susie) has watched my fur son for the past 4 years. There is no place Baby would rather be when I am away! I also am at complete ease knowing he is in her care. Susie is very conscientious about taking care of animals . She is loving, attentive, and extremely engaging with her own animals and her fur guests! If you need a comfortable, safe and reliable environment for your fur children, I would say look no further. Thank you for all the loving care Susie! ❤️ The BEST.”

She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”


“Vanessa was so amazing with my fur baby Leon! I’m super protective & worried about him always but felt like he was in such good hands ! Her 2 doggos were so sweet & playful (brought me their toys to play w them when I met them??**so cute**) . She sent me videos & even made sure Leon used the bathroom before coming home with me so I wouldn’t need to walk him much ! Leon had so much fun I could tell cuz he didn’t wanna leave LOL We will be coming back thank you !!!! ??”
