“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”


“Hello! We really enjoyed meeting Jesse and Emily, they are warm and attentive. We really appreciated their wonderful care of our dog Lucy, how they accommodated us for an hour extra day and will definitely call them again! Caroline L.”


“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”


“Casey and her family took exceptional care of my fur baby Scottie. She sent pictures and updates through out his stay. Scottie was in amazing hands and his routines were kept up with (much needed for his age). They even made the sweetest note cards for me at pick up. Drop off and pick up was great. Thank you Casey and family! ♥️”


“Penny was absolutely wonderful! She sent lots of updates and pictures of our doggie and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog for the first time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”


“Svitlana was great with our Border Terrier, Kimi. She sent updates and photos daily. She walked Kimi in the neighborhood and played ball with her in the yard. Kimi came home happy, so we will hire Svitlana again!”


“Katina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katina’s cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!”


“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”


“Rebecca has a wonderful space and very lovely playful pups! We had a great meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and booked when we all felt it was! She provided good updates and was flexible with us and our pup. She is an experienced doggy caretaker and our dog had a great time and came back to us happy and tired from all the playtime and walking. Couldn't recommend her enough!”


“Hannah is amazing! She's a real dog whisperer. Our pup HATES cats so we were nervous to live him with her because Hannah cares for a number of cats as well. Low and behold, this dog SLEPT in the same bed as a couple of cats and he was completely unfazed. Unreal. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to booking again soon :)”


“Laura was so accommodating. My other sitter canceled the morning of and Laura was able to watch my pup the same day. She even came home from work during lunch to meet at my scheduled pickup time. She sent lots of pics during Rocky’s stay and even gave him a mini report card so I could see how he did. Definitely recommend!!!”
