Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!

This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.

Salish is what every dog owner hopes to find. A competent, caring, dog sitter. Her little daughter is a delight and Oscar enjoyed her company. We've already booked her for our camping trip in October after just having her sit our Yorkie this Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommended.

Natali was great! She watched my pooch for me last minute and ensured he was comfortable and well taken care of after being neutered a few days prior. Would definitely recommend and book her again!

Nice communications and Brewster was happy at drop-off, in pictures and at pickup. We had problems getting back and Hyesun and Bob were very accommodating as we were stuck overnight at an airport hotel! Location is wonderful for a dog as the walks in this part of Marblehead provide quiet streets and variety of sniffing :)

Ana Maria was great with my puppy. She was very caring and understanding of my puppy separation anxiety, and also she was flexible with my last minute schedule change. She was truly a blessing during our trip to MA and I am looking forward to come back to MA to visit my daughter and booking with Ana Maria again. 😊

My 5 month old puppy loves it at Kathy’s house! She has 2 absolutely amazing goldens and a little fenced in yard to play in! She especially made good friends with Snickerdoodle. My only worry was that she wouldn’t want to come home after having so much fun!

Daisy watched our dog Bentley for a long weekend. Daisy was great with Bentley, she is very understanding and kind . In the past our dog Bentley got very anxious and nervous when we went away, he was very comfortable with her and happy for the time we where gone. We already booked Daisy for a week long stay in the end of January!

We got stuck on vacation for several extra days because of the snowstorm and he was very flexible and accommodating. We would have been in major trouble if our dog was with someone who couldn’t take on the extra days but luckily this is the one thing we did not have to worry about. Our dog seemed very happy and taken care of when we picked him. The fact that watching your dog is his job and main priority is a huge reason why I’d recommend choosing here over somewhere else.

We had a great experience with Lisa caring for our dog, Copper, for 8 days. She kept him active and happy with trail hikes and beach trips, and sent daily photos and updates that gave us peace of mind. Lisa also handled his daily eye drops without any issues and was a clear, reliable communicator throughout. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her with Copper again—highly recommend!

Lady just had her first visit with Elliot. She has had a traumatic past and does not respond well to strangers, however in this case, she immediately seemed to feel safe and comfortable. We are very grateful for the peace of mind he provided!

Lisa was great. My dog doesn’t like to eat when he’s at a new place but Lisa let Duke have some of the food she feeds her dogs which he ate.
