“I can count the number of people our skittish dog allows to take his harness on/off on one hand. Somehow Liz has become one, and in record time! She is wonderful with anxious dogs! Can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Alexa and her family were such great hosts and caretakers for our dog Bo - lovely to coordinate with and obviously provided a super good care. Could tell Bo was relaxed and happy from the regular photo/video updates. Will definitely try to rebook with Alexa again soon! 🐾 🦮❤️”

“Fiona took great care of Sky and created a welcoming environment. She took care to learn about our preferences and provided daily updates. We could tell Sky had a great time at Fiona’s.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Ketaki and her services! She provided continuous updates, pictures and videos to let us know how our dog was doing. She provided amazing care and support to our dog while we were out of town. She has the sweetest and most friendly dog as a bout in companion! We will absolutely be using her services again and had such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands.”

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Bobbie! Everything went great — she is happy, energetic, and relaxed, which shows she spent her time in a very caring and loving environment. We truly appreciate your kindness, responsibility, and great communication. We would happily book with you again and highly recommend you as a pet sitter!”


“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”


“Xiaomeng was amazing sitter for my dog. Super flexible and understanding the situation. Most of all, she is truly enjoying spending time with dogs. Loving and trustworthy animal lover. Highly recommended!”

“My 5 year old lab Queso had a great time with Joyce and her family when he stayed last week. Joyce kept us updated with daily photos. She kept him active with regular walks and games of fetch. All in all, Queso had a great experience and as pet parents we are glad we chose Joyce for boarding”


“We have been taking Norman to darlayna since 2021. She is truly the greatest. She treats our dog like a king. She is communicative, responsive and flexible. Above all, she deeply loves animals. I will always send Norm there.”

“Tunyi was awesome!!! Our pup loved her and her family. Sent us texts and videos the entire time while we were gone and we just knew Flo was being loved on❤️”

“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”

“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Lisa. We are so happy to have found a great companion for our sweet boy, who loves him just as her own. Lisa always goes above and beyond to make sure her special furry boarders are well taken care of, loved, and engaged during their stay. Thank you again Lisa for the wonderful care you gave to Odin.”

“Rochelle and her husband were wonderful! Our pup loved them and their home the instant he stepped through the front door. He got lots of snuggles and adventures, and we got plenty of updates along the way which was incredibly comforting. There’s no doubt in my mind that Whispy can’t wait to come back for a visit!”

“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”

“Arly was wonderful. She sent updates and pictures each day or any time I texted her. My kitties aren't great in new spaces so they didn't fully warm up to her but she knew all the tricks to try to get the kitties to eat or to come out. One of my cats decided that she needed to lay in the laundry and Arly just let her. I will definitely be hiring her again the next time I need my kitties watched. Thank you Arly 😍😻😻”

“This is Ollies 2nd visit with Sreymom and another great experience! Ollie was so comfortable and happy to stay with her and she clearly loves him (and all dogs) so so much! She’s extremely responsive and responsible putting me at ease when leaving him! We will be back :)”

“Karina was very nice and communicative….. she took really good care of my Oreo, he came home very happy. I Would highly recommend her to care for your dog.”

Kepler had such a wonderful time with Joyce and her lovely pup Dublin. Kepler enjoys their huge backyard and night time company. He enjoys saying goodnight to everyone and sleeping in the hallway. Joyce has a full fenced backyard and allows the dogs to spend time inside & outside like they would at home.

I cannot express enough how amazing the care for my pets was. I left both my dog and my cat with Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang. In the past, we've had difficult experiences with other sitters; my dog has anxiety and has had stress induced colitis from previous people he has stayed with. My cat gets very stressed too and will refuse to eat or drink. Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang were incredibly kind, attentive, and patient with my pets and both my dog and my cat came back EXTREMELY well cared for. They even got my cat to eat, which has been impossible for other sitters!! My dog had a blast in their backyard and came home with the biggest smile on his face. I will absolutely be booking again and can't recommend these caregivers enough. Thank you for taking such good care of my pets!!

Yen and Terry were fantastic caregivers for our dog! They were available with only 24 hours’ notice, which was incredibly helpful. They were very communicative throughout his stay and sent us lots of photos and videos. Most importantly, our dog was happy and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with Yen and Terry again!

Cindy and her family were great sitters! Our dog had a good time, and there were many opportunities for her to interact with other dogs in safe environments. I received many informative updates that showed how well my dog was doing, and I could see she was content and having a good time. I can't recommend Cindy highly enough and I won't hesitate to look for her availability to care for my dog again the next time I travel.

Frankie had a wonderful time staying with Kellie while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable knowing she was safe and in good hands while I was gone. Knowing she had a friend to play with and a family to love on in my absence made leaving much easier. Thank you Kellie!

Jenny and her family were absolutely amazing! They took such wonderful care of both of my dogs and treated them like members of their own family. It was clear that my dogs were surrounded by love, attention, and excellent care throughout their stay. They were incredibly responsible and communicative, which gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Jenny. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Cookie and Olu!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! I did not worry about my baby the whole trip. I got regular updates and Henry went above and beyond. The moment we got there we were treated like family instead of a client. I will definitely be booking again after this extraordinary experience. Usually on a review individuals look for the cons in the situation, for the first time ever, I can’t complain about anything. 😀

Phoebe did a great job taking care of my labradoodle, Theo. We did a meet and greet with her labradoodle, Teddy, before boarding to make sure they got on well. Theo had a wonderful time playing with Teddy throughout his stay and I would board Theo with Phoebe again.

This is the 2nd boarding we had with Ziting and we are so thankful that she and her family love our dog just as much. Her care and affection shows, and the pictures and updates we get we could not be thankful enough. She puts us at ease leaving Maya and her daughter and Maya have a great bond. Would 100% recommend!
