“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog.

“Diego and Natalia are excellent sitters. They took such good care of our puppy while we were gone for a week, which was not an easy task since he’s so little and needs lots of attention. We were nervous to leave him for the first time but they instantly made us feel better from the first meet and greet. They sent continuous updates, photos and videos and he got lots of exercise in their back yard. We will definitely have them watch our pup again! We are so happy to have found them.”
“Lynette & Vincent were AMAZING with my babygirl Snickers! Snicks has bad separation anxiety to the point where she won't eat and can be super antisocial but by the end of her stay with Lynette & Vincent she was more social and eating more. They sent lots of pics, which I truly appreciated, and I could see that my fur baby was really enjoying herself. I will def book with them again the next time I travel.”
“Cierra was a great sitter to our mini poodle. I was on a family vacation and often was not able to have contact with her during the week. When I could check in, I saw Cutey was totally at ease with her and it made us feel sooo much better….I will be using her again…”

“Johnathon was an excellent sitter for Butter while we were away for the 4th o f July weekend. Looking at the pictures sent of Butter he looked like he was right at home! Butter didn't seem like he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! I would definitely recommend Jonathan and plan on using his services again in the near future!”
“Sabrina is fantastic! She’s knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She was so flexible when my plans changed, and I felt 100% confident leaving my dog under her care. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to any dog owner!”

Serena and Jake were amazing! It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone at their house. We usually have a sitter come to ours so we were a little bit nervous. Our dogs are not friendly with other dogs and have their little quirks, but they did a great job working around that. Our dogs came back to us, looking very happy and warmed up quickly to both of them. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.
Patience was truly amazing with Poncho. She gives a lot of love and care to your pet and will treat them just like they are at home. She is also a very kind person. You can tell she is passionate about animals. She gave lots of updates, walked and played with Poncho all day, and was even kind enough to extend my time by an hour when I was running late. I will absolutely book again and I recommend her!
Jade is very warm and inviting. We agreed on a 2 hr. meet and greet visit for our pet to be with her, given her separation anxiety and not being with her regular sitter. Jade reported our pet whining for the first hour being with her. When I asked Jade if she would be open to a future visit in hopes of my pet becoming lass anxious. She was immediate in saying yes.
Melissa was simply an exceptional Dog Sitter! She took care of our three big dogs in such a sweet personal way as if they were her own children! Ours are big dogs and they are super good natured, but they can be a handful and Melissa did not skip a beat with them and offered up her whole house as their own. They loved her and she even took care of one of them who ended up needing special attention because of a hotspot he had developed. Melissa was on it, caring for him and making sure it did not get worse before we arrived. We absolutely give her the highest recommendation possible! Thank you, Melissa!
Javien was fantastic with both of my pups!!! He communicated daily, made adjustments when I forgot to drop off one of my pups anxiety Rx and kept my pups happy. First, he took my last minute request like 24 hours before my last minute family trip. Then, he was just awesome the entire time. I couldn't ask for anything more than that to be honest. He kept my babies safe, smiling & even when he took another pup in he did a gradual introduction to each other and made sure he kept my 1 pup with slight food aggression away for the others while eating. I will use him again!
We had a wonderful experience with Rasida! She was reliable, responsible, and incredibly caring throughout the entire time she watched our dog. She was very communicative, flexible, and willing to accommodate our needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated her with the same love and attention she would give her own. We truly appreciated how dependable and easy to work with Rasida was. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy,and caring dog sitter. We’d happily have her watch our dog again!
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Mischa and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay. She was so attentive to Mischa’s allergies and itching and made sure she was always comfortable and happy. You could tell she genuinely loved having her, and Mischa clearly felt right at home! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again! ❤️
