“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”


2. Mariana A.

“This was my first time boarding my puppy. We were not sure how our 4 months old puppy was going to behave but Mariana provided an excellent care to our baby. She knows how to read dogs behavior and our puppy had a wonderful stay. Mariana was really responsive and thoughtful all the time and I’ll totally recommend her! Thank you, Mariana!”


3. Bruce B.

“So grateful we found Bruce (and Carolyn). This is the first place we have truly felt comfortable leaving our poodle. He gets such great care and attention which das helped us return to traveling and getting out of town as a family. We know now he is in great hands. Thank you!!!”


4. Giancarlo P.

“Gian is amazing at what he does with my 80lb dog, Blue. I was impressed at how quickly Gian was able to gain Blue’s trust and respect to make him feel safe early on. I also like the photo updates while I’m away, often for work. I also found that Gian’s English is developing, so he closely follows your detailed instructions posted on your profile, and in circumstances has cleaned Blue’s ears and brushed him daily. I’m looking forward to more stays.”


5. Noemi & David B.

“Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave. They were incredibly responsive and sent frequent updates and photos. It was clear that my pups felt comfortable and were well cared for by Noemi and Dave.”


6. Sara K.
“Hi, I’ve known Sara for a long time and she’s always had dogs and cats for pets. I’ve seen her go above and beyond for her furry friends over and over again. She would be a great dog sitter!!”




7. Howard & Kathleen R.

“Howard was wonderful! This was my dog's first time staying here, and he'll definitely be going back again. My pup can be nervous and take a long time to warm up to new people, but he was cuddling with Howard and lying in his lap after being there only for a short time. Howard is very warm and clearly takes care of pups as though they were his own. Highly recommend!”


8. justin d.

“Justin was amazing! He was able to come and do a meet-n-greet, pick Harley up, communicate and drop her off as planned. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very happy and I'd be excited to have her stay with Justin again in the future.”


9. Monique Z.

“Monique was absolutely great! I was nervous leaving my pup for a week while we traveled overseas. She sent me daily pictures, my dog looked happy and made so many friends. My pup received treats every day (which I left for her). She was even able to accommodate a last minute request for a doggy bath. I will 100% book again. Thank you, Monique! :)”

“Raeven and her family were just fantastic to our Portuguese Water Dog Donut. She came home well exercised, well loved, and excited to go back for round 2.”




11. Mikayla & Justin W.

“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

He treated Mayo as if he were his own, showing him so much kindness and attention. From the thoughtful updates and daily photos and videos to the extra treats, it was clear that Mayo was in the best hands. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caretaker for their pet!❤️”

18. Anthony Q.

“I can’t say enough good things about my experiance with Anthony. I had to book in a short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating and responsive to our needs. During the stay, my puppy had an amazing time. She had plenty of playtime and exercise which I can tell from all the photos that I received- she was smiling in every single one them( yes my dog smiles, I have a clown poodle!). They clearly have a genuine love for animals and it shows in the way they interacted with my pup. Thank you so much for everything!”


19. Jennifer E.
“Jen is a wonderful person and dog owner! She was our neighbor for quite some time and went out of her way to let our dog out each day while we worked very long work days. She not only let our dog outside but would always give him yummy treats, lots of pets, and send us photos of him! We had no worries in the world when our dog was in the care of Jen. We would absolutely without a doubt recommend her to any other dog owners who are looking for someone to help care for their pets! A wonderful, trusting, friendly person who has a love for animals. Highly recommend booking with Jen!”


20. Elizabeth N.


“Elizabeth has provided the best dog boarding service for my baby boy. I am not exaggerating either. I showed a lot of concern at first, due to a prior bad experience. In return, she was extremely understanding, kind and supportive. She has very welcoming energy and a very sweet personality. Also, her pup Ohana was cute and made the whole process easier. I would absolutely book Elizabeth again for more services in the future!!! Thank you! 10/10 🙂”
