1. Sia J.
“Sometimes I feel like my dog might be more excited to see Sia than to see me... Sia was always on time, great with my little 2yr old princess, took her on walks, and kept her so happy. Sia is so attentive and gentle that she would wipe her paws, give her little treats here and there, know when shes tired, etc. No need to worry about danger zones like construction sites or busy streets, Sia knows the area very well and always keep me updated of where they would be going with photos and texts.”


2. Rosanna G.

“We do daily walks with Rosanna and I have to say it’s one of the best care taking experiences we have had for our 8 mo puppy Penelope! Rosanna is extremely thorough, consistent, and thoughtful. Her detailed daily updates are incredibly helpful. She trains Penelope, is very sweet with her, and goes the extra mile. We’ll have Rosanna as long as she will have us!! ☺️🐾”

“I am very happy to write this testimonial for Justine. I have known Justine for many years. She used to take care of my pets whenever I was on vacation; she would spend hours at my house taking care of them - playing with them and grooming them. Justine is very reliable, trustworthy and responsible. She loves and cares about animals, without question. I would highly recommend Justine to take care of your pet (or pets).”

“Thanks so much!”


5. Aashree G.

“As usual, Remy was VERY excited to see Aashree and was perfectly fine when I left him for the afternoon. As long as she’s available, I’ll continue to use her!”


6. Iris O.

“Iris has been dog sitting Frankie in my apartment for a while now and she’s been my first and only choice ever since day one! Frankie is a nervous dog but he immediately loved Iris and she loves him too so I feel great leaving him with her looking after him. She’s really flexible as my job as a nanny and student means my days are never the same. I recently went away on vacation and decided to have Frankie stay with Iris at her house and she’s sent so many photos and videos I can tell he’s having the best time and he’s being so well looked after! He loves being with her and it means I can feel happy knowing he’s safe and with someone who really loves him! Recommend 10000000% !!!”


7. Alejandro P.
“Alejandro has been a godsend for me and Brik. I’m lucky enough to have found him. Brik and I ❤️ him! Ale was so thoughtful and kept me informed when I was away for 10 days earlier this year. He sent me photos of her and all the fun things they did together. I trust Brik with Ale. Whenever I need to travel, he’s the first person I reach out to, to help out with Brik! ♥️”


8. Kristina S.


“Kristina did a fantastic job watching my two cats. My older cat, Orion, made the task of giving him his medication very difficult. She was patient and flexible the entire time, and I came home to two very well cared for kitties.”


9. Jessica R.

“Jessica was fantastic! She was very communicative and listened to my detailed notes, sent me lots of pictures and videos at my request, and was just so kind. She also responded to my last minute request so promptly! I’ve been training my cat to do tricks, which I mentioned to Jessica, and she even continued the training!! Above and beyond. Highly recommend!”


10. Nia L.

“Super helpful, easy to talk to, very trustworthy (coming from a person with anxiety, i gave her a chance and she didnt make me wanna crashout lol). I will be booking again and suggest you should to, lets support our girl!! ⭐️”


11. Cristin M.

“Cristin was so great with my two cats! She was quick and responsive with any questions and sent tons of details and pictures during her check ins.”


12. Jay H.

“Jay did an all around great job and I will definitely contact him in the future. He was easy to coordinate with, was communicative while I was gone, etc. My dog can be a handful when meeting new people but Jay was not put off by his energy. He asked lots of questions about behavior, food and walk routines, and was attentive to my advice. Most importantly my pup was happy and healthy when I got home. A great experience!”


13. Ai O.

“Ai was so patient with my skittish shelter cat. She always sent me pictures and updates and was respectful of his boundaries. I’d recommend her to anyone!”


14. Yaritza R.

“Yaritza was awesome to help with a last minute booking over Christmas. She was super flexible and our fluff baby was well taken care of!”


15. Steven N.

“Steven was wonderful! He was communicative, reliable, and took excellent care of our cats. He also sent photos after each visit, which were absolutely beautiful.”


16. Colleen & Mozart D.

“Colleen and family were fantastic- great communication and gave my cats lots of love, cuddles and playtime. Loved seeing pictures of the kids playing with the cats and enjoying all the toys. Colleen was great telling me when an issue came up (one cat threw up) and even offered to bring over her own cleaning supplies when we couldn’t use mine. Looking forward to using them again in the future!”


17. Dennis P.

“Dennis was an incredible catsitter with very detailed reports of how Sunny was doing. She seemed happy when I came home! Five stars, will definitely be asking him back!”


18. Anne B.


“I was away for 4 days/nights and I cannot stress enough how phenomenal Anne was. I have two cats who have very different needs. Her balanced approach with both cats was incredible and she ensured both were not only looked after, but happy (I could tell by the great photos she provided after each visit). She provided very detailed summaries after each visit, which was very helpful to stay in the know. I will, without question, be rebooking with her for all of my future needs.”


19. Chrisha Marhea N.
“Chrisha is one of the most kind and patient people I know! She often takes care of my pets who tend to get fussy if they are taken off their regular routine so she always makes sure they get fed, taken on walks, etc at their normal time. She is one of the few people I trust around them because of how amazing she is with them, they love her! She is reliable, works well with schedules, friendly, and most importantly she loves animals.”


20. Matthew & Wells O.
About: My partner and I have a lifetime experience caring for all sorts of dogs. We recently had our own dog who we loved so much, but at this time, would love to care for other's dog just as much as we loved ours. We can walk, jog, take to the park, bathe and anything in between as needed! Even have a little experience teaching fun tricks :) Currently, I work from home so can spend as much time as needed for your loved one. If you ever choose to board with us, know that we will always be around to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Since we recently had our own dog, our home is very dog safe. We allow dogs on the furniture and can also provide a dog bed, crate, treats and anything else. We typically gate off the bedroom but live in a large 2 bedroom apartment, so your dog can have free reign of the apartment :)
