“If I could give the stars I would! Stephanie and her husband are amazing and took such great care of my dog. She sent me some funny pics and videos while they took care of Ammo. As long as they are available when I travel they are where Ammo will be staying!!!!”
“Breanna and her family are the best pet care we’ve ever had. Daily updates. Excellent communication. Outstanding care. They truly are wonderful”
“Pup Wonderland! Leaving our little guy with someone new was a bit nerve-wracking, but Abel and Alisa put all our worries to rest. They are incredibly caring and considerate, understanding the anxiety of leaving a pet. And we’re gracious with my many questions leading up to our departure. Their communication was excellent, providing detailed responses and plenty of pictures of Baxter having a blast. The agenda is packed with more than just walks; it’s a whirlwind of supervised activities and endless fun! Baxter was so entertained that he fell asleep instantly when we returned home. If you’re seeking top-notch, high-quality care for your pups, these sitters are the absolute best!”
“Olivia was fantastic with Bunny. I got regular updates, pics, and videos to let me know how she was doing, and it was a great opportunity to get Bunny socialized with Olivia’s dogs and cats. Olivia and her husband were super friendly and easy to work with, and I know Bunny had a great time making new friends! I’ll def be bringing her back 🩵”

“Luke and Leia had another great stay with Karen. Thank you for watching them for us. We appreciate all the pictures and walks…. and the great care you take while they are with you.”
“Divya was absolutely amazing with my dog, Brodie. She kept me updated the entire time with detailed messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She reassured me before my flight not to worry and truly paid close attention to him, updating me on his behavior and how he was settling in. What stood out most was how intuitive and patient she was. She understood his personality right away, gave him space when needed, and handled everything calmly and confidently. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I felt completely comfortable having Brodie in her care. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Ronny demonstrated exceptional care and expertise in handling our recently adopted canine companion, Max. Initially exhibiting hostility towards other dogs, Max’s behavior significantly improved within two days of Ronny’s intervention. Additionally, Ronny provided valuable video guidance on crate training, which proved instrumental in our success. Highly recommended, we anticipate utilizing Ronny’s services again in the future.”
“Debe was phenomenal - communicative, flexible, and dedicated to ensuring my anxious pup felt at home! We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Debe first the next time we travel.”
“Jesse has been absolutely incredible with Rocco. He went above and beyond in caring for him, and it was clear from the start how much he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. Rocco was comfortable, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. Jesse was also super communicative and flexible, and really helped me out during a hectic stretch when I needed reliable support. I truly appreciate everything he did. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own.”
“Max had an amazing time with Patricia. He was so happy when we picked him up. She fed Max, played with him, took him for walks and even took him to the park. He was thoroughly entertained and in love with Patricia. Patricia also sent us many photos and videos to keep us updated and it gave us a lot of confidence. She treated Max as her own pup and he was in great hands. I highly recommend Patricia for your furbaby.”
“I’m extremely happy with the care provided for my two dogs. The communication was excellent from start to finish — I always knew how they were doing, and updates were clear and timely. I also really appreciated the flexibility with pickup and drop‑off times, which made the whole experience stress‑free. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful pet care.”
“Tania came through for us once again! We had a last-minute booking, and she was still able to accommodate us. As always, we were able to leave town knowing our girl was well taken care of. She has the perfect doggy vacation setup with comfy beds and a large backyard.”
“Jackie and Jorge watched Millie for five days! As soon as I dropped off our dog, Millie, I knew she was in good hands! They kept us updated on how Millie was doing and also sent us pictures of her! 10/10, will book again!”
“Genesis was great with our pup! She kept us up-to-date with how she was doing and was flexible with pickup time. We will definitely use her again if we are in town visiting!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of our dogs while we went away for the weekend. The pictures and videos showed them eating well, having fun, being cuddled, and we were happy to hear our Max was given his meds right on schedule. We highly recommend Juan!”
“We were thrilled to find a secure yard and other dogs for our pooch to have fun with but apparently she was snitchy with the other pooches at Marti's. We are very grateful that Marti found a way to work around this so that it did not become a problem for us whilst we were away. ”

Silvia and Elizabeth provided a wonderful experience for my dog and were willing to meet up beforehand to see if my dog would be comfortable around them. They were communicative about how my animal was doing over the week I was away from home, which put me at ease. I will reach out to them again in the future for overnight stays and readily recommend them to others.
