“Kira was amazing with sending updates/photos throughout the day and made me comfortable leaving Napoleon with her and her family for a few days!”

“The best home away from home for my pup! Such peace of mind knowing that my pup was so well cared for. Kris and Kaylie kept me updated throughout, and both gave my pup lots of love and care. So grateful to have found these terrific pup whisperers!”
“Amber did a fantastic job!!! She updated me regularly with pictures and recaps of what they did each day. I can tell she took great care of Hyde.”
“Jessica took exceptional care of my dog Penny over 5 days while I was traveling for work. She was communicative and very thoughtful when it came to Penny’s picky eating habits. I couldn’t have asked for better care and I know Penny had an incredible time in her home. I will definitely book with Jessica again!”
“Skyler was so incredibly great with our french bulldog Roi. She dogsat Roi for 2 days and she not only showered him with love (which was evident throughout Roi’s stay) but also consistently kept us updated by letting us know how Roi played, ate and slept. She sent us photos and videos and those were so reassuring to receive as this was our very first time leaving Roi with someone else. We had also informed Skyler that Roi was having some stomach issues which might cause him to experience looser stool than usual and Skyler consistently kept us posted on his stool condition and even discussed with us different food options for Roi that might help his stool go back to normal!! We 100% recommend Skyler and if her schedule permits, we will continue to call on her for dog sitting. Thanks again for everything, Skyler!!”

Few times my pup needed a medicine and David was very diligent in making that happen. Basically if I am able to book David, he is my first choice”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“Sara was wonderful with Storm. We will use her again for sure. Storm felt very comfortable as she was doing what she does at home with Sara. Good fit ! ??”
“Can’t say enough good things about Sneha! She took amazing care of my dog, Archie—making sure he got his medications on time and going above and beyond to comfort and love him. Archie got along so well with Sneha’s dog, Tella, that he didn’t even get a chance to miss me! Sneha sent regular photos and videos, and it was clear from his happy face that he was in great hands. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for.”
“Stephanie is phenomenal!! She takes such good care of my Frenchie and always sends great updates and photos throughout his stay. She is very responsive and comes door to door. He is in good hands with Stephanie and her husband we appreciate her!! Thank you Stephanie!”
“**Great Care for Tella – Thank You, Junaid & Tina** I’m grateful to **Junaid and Tina** for taking care of my dog, **Tella**, for a week. Leaving her behind was tough, but I felt reassured knowing she was in capable hands. Throughout her stay, they provided regular updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear that they took good care of her, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and well looked after. I appreciate the effort and attention Junaid and Tina gave to Tella, and I would consider their care again in the future. **Thank you for looking after her.**”
