“Ying is AMAZING!!! This was our first 2 week long trip utilizing an outside sitter for our 3 babies. She took such great care of them on top of showering them with so much love that we didnt worry at all about them and we could really enjoy ourselves. She sent daily photos of them eating, sleeping and playing which was very comforting. We will definitely schedule more vacations with Ying in the future.”


“Kenn was fantastic! Our dog was very happy with him and his family, had morning and afternoon walks, and interacted with other dogs. Kenn sent us messages every day, often with photos. We plan to ask him to board our dog on future trips if he's available.”


“Kaylee is the best! Very accommodating and flexible. Incredibly loving and will take the absolute best care of your pups! Mousse and Cannoli miss her when they leave!!”

“Kalea is amazing & took great care of our boy!!! Rocky was so sweet & welcoming!! Our boy really enjoyed himself & all the adventures! Kalea, her husband & Rocky made it very easy for us to leave our boy, knowing that he is in great hands!! We will definitely be booking with Kalea again!!!”


“Thank you Senne! Senne was very kind and also sent photos and updates of our pup so we knew our pup she was well taken care of. I would recommend Senne for dogsitting and consider having our pup stay with her again while we are away. Again, thank you Senne!”


“Diana was great with our pups during our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures. Treated our pups like they were her own while we were away. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you!”


“I just got my pup back from his weeklong. Stay with Diana and her family. He is so happy to have spent time with her two dogs and children. I will definitely be a return customer. Your animal and Diana‘s care will receive love and cuddles and play. She’s awesome at updating you with how your baby is doing. I had total peace of mind, knowing that my dog was in such good hands.”

“Awesome senior dog sitter. Was very attentive and accommodating. Sent plenty pictures and daily updates. Would definitely book with her again and recommend to friends. 🤙🏼”

“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Chayita is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find! She always treats our pups like family and we have peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of. She is very flexible and accommodating. We couldn't be happier with our continued experience!”


“Daisy and JP were incredible. They kept in touch, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I definitely didn’t have to worry about my pup Kea when I was traveling. I’ll definitely reach out again the next time I need to go out of town!”


“Nicole and her family were so so great with Hilahila she sent pictures and was incredibly helpful with excellent communication and Hilhila had the best time. It was the longest we've ever been away from him and she put us at ease. We're super grateful”


“Great experience leaving my Boston Terrier with Lily. She gave great daily updates. Has a nice size yard for the dogs to play in. My dog had a wonderful time with her and her two Golden’s!”


“We enjoyed having Lovina look over our dog while we were away for the week. Our usual sitter was unavailable for the time that we needed and we were grateful that Lovina was available. She also provided us with daily updates and photos which we appreciated. There was an issue with our dog not wanting to eat the food that we had sent him to her with but she was kindly able to accommodate him by providing him with her dog’s food which ended up being a quick fix and that was very nice of her. I would recommend anyone looking to board their pet with Lovina to do so.”
