“Nikki was amazing. She treated our pup like she was her own. She is thoughtful and caring and kept us updated every day. We feel so lucky to be able to have our dog stay with Nikki!”
“Rebeca was fantastic and I will definitely be using her again when I need care for my dog. She was so responsive, super easy to work with, and very accommodating. I could not have asked for a better experience, and doggo was very happy and well cared for. Would give 10 stars if I could!”
“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“We have an older dog, and we’ve always been able to call on family and friends to care for Sully while we are away. But we found ourselves in a pinch, and Gienna (thankfully!!) had an opening in her schedule to care for Sully for a long weekend. She and her dog Maggie were so welcoming, and made Sully feel right at home. He was so comfy and was soon prancing in Gienna’s yard. We received many pictures of Sully as he was settling into their home. Gienna communicated well and administered Sully’s meds as we needed. What a find for us and Sully! Gienna enjoyed caring for our little man and we are so happy that he had a great experience.”
“Lori and her family took care of my dog for a few days while we were gone. They treated her like she was part of the family. I got daily (sometimes hourly) pictures showing how happy my little dog was. She was in good hands. Would recommend.”
“Paul and Megan were excellent hosts for Kenobi. From the meet and greet I could tell Kenobi felt comfortable in their presence. They were very responsive and great at communication. The frequency of updates and pictures was just right and we came back to a healthy, happy dog. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“David was amazing and my Mille had a wonderful time while I was away. He updated with photos and videos and let us know how she was doing, him and his family is great and if we ever need a sitter again, we will make sure to call David 😊”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“Krista was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my precious Bertie with her! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands!!!”
“Nala was so obviously loved and well cared for when she spent time with Natasha and Johnathan. I was updated daily and they demonstrated care and understanding of her personality and needs. I had no worries about her while I was away!”
“Jodi was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of our 2 girls. She has a wonderful backyard, beautiful home, and took our girls for a long walk/swim! She sent images, videos, and text updates! It was great picking up 2 very tired (but happy!) pups. We will definitely be using Jodi again and highly recommend her!”
“Freddi and her boyfriend are such caring dog sitters. It’s obvious that they loves the dogs a lot, often taking them on long walks to tire them out and having them play. They are very attentive and patient, often updating me about the dogs and even offering suggestions on changing their food intake after doing some research. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we went to pick them up, and even kind of sad to leave. It’s clear that they had a great time at Freddi’s by their smiles and tail wags. I would highly recommend this family if you’re going away for vacation—they are patient, kind, and very caring! 10/10 experience.”
“She was amazing, took such good care of our dog Tilly and constantly updated us. Super friendly. We were nervous at first but it was a really good first experience !”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“Great videos and pictures throughout stay”
“Jake had a great stay with Wendy and her family. She sent me pics every other day with a quick note as to how and what he was doing, even a video! He was happy when we picked him up and we would feel confident letting him stay with her again!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Millie, our sweet but rather highly strung 2 year old miniature cockapoo, and was incredibly flexible when we asked her if she could extend the stay a few days as I had picked up Covid while away. She took the trouble to really understand Millie's routine, likes and dislikes, and Millie soon basked with a lot of attention from Lisa and her extended family. Millie and Lisa's little dog, Maggie became firm friends - it was sad to say goodbye - and I have absolutely no reservations in asking Lisa to have Millie to stay in the future.”
“Michelle is a dog lover and her house is very dog friendly. I have brought Oliver there twice now and feel very comfortable knowing that he will be well taken care of while I am away. Thank you Michelle!”
“She was amazing with my dog. She kept me updated and let him let out all his energy. He felt like home there. I can definitely tell they all loved my baby and treated him as their own.”
“Lauren provided wonderful, enthusiastic sitting services for our two dogs. She and her hubby have a wonderful fun dog of their own who added another dimension of fun to the stay, along with plenty of ball play. Lauren was kind, communicative, sent photos, was accommodating of our pug's heat sensitivities. It was nice to see quite spacious outdoor areas with both sun and shade options for play and outings. Thank you Lauren!”
