Jennifer was great and we will certainly use her again. She communicates regularly and really loves our dogs. This is the first time we used an app to find someone to take care of our pups. It will not be the last. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!

Tessa and her husband took very good care of our dog Gus. We were very happy with the first visit and did an overnight stay which also went very well. Gus seemed very comfortable in their home. Tessa is very responsive and sent us pictures of Gus.

Michael was fantastic. My two dogs definitely were kept entertained and occupied. Michael was very invested and ensures your pups are well taken care of and get their full attention. I will definitely love to book again with Michael in the future as I felt confident my dogs were in good hands. Thank you again Michael!!

Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.

Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!

Alexis was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was available to watch my baby boy on such a short notice. She stayed in contact the whole time I was gone and sent me pictures. She took him to a nature park and on lots of walks. She was so nice and responded fast. My dog wasn’t even fazed that I left him and was excited to go with her. I will definitely book with her again for all my dog sitting needs!

Patricia was a wonderful host to our beloved cavalier Rudy who arrived a bit under the weather and shy. He had a playmate (Duke) waiting for him when we arrived. Rudy quickly accomodated to the unfamiliar, but dog-friendly environment. We appreciated the photos, as well.

Jayne took care of our dog Biubiu for a whole month and did a fantastic job! We could tell Jayne really bonded with Biubiu and treated him as if he were her own dog. A few weeks into the stay Biubiu had some soft/liquid stool issues, and Jayne did a great job communicating with us so we could determine the best course of action for Biubiu. She also took the most amazing daily photos of Biubiu, way better than the pictures we ourselves have taken of him.

Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!

Carolina was great to work with. She was understanding and very accommodating and able to sit for our puppy on short notice. Our flight home was delayed and she was even able to keep him an extra night until we were able to get home and get him. That helped us so much. Carolina was very pleasant throughout the whole interaction and communication was great and she quickly answered texts. We would be very happy to have Carolina sit for our dog again. 😊 Thanks Carolina for a great job!!
