1. Brian S.
“Brian has watched our pup several times. We moved from SD to Vegas and when we travel we drive down to SD to leave our boy with dog whisperer Brian. Our pup is reactive and can be a challenge and Brian clearly has the skills to handle him.”
2. Gladys W.
“She took excellent care of sweet pea. Her dogs and sweet pea interacted great together. I won't hesitate to use Gladys again-a wonderful environment for dogs.”
3. Cristina B.
“Cristina was very generous with Suzie and throughout her stay! Her animals are a lot of fun and the kiddos seem to really like my smaller dog, she fits right into the family! Thank you!”
4. Shauna & Pompilio H.
“My Chloe’s 2nd stay with Shauna and Pompilio - this time for 4 days/3 nights. They took really good care of her, stayed on feeding and medication schedule, lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates. When chloe and I were driving back home she started crying and looking out the window for them. They are amazing small dog sitters and I will definitely be using them again.”
5. Anar K.
“Anar took wonderful care of our dog Ace for a full 8 days during Christmas and the new year. She kept us updated daily with pictures and how he was doing. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
6. Linda Jean F.
“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”
7. Whitney G.
“Whitney and her family take such great care of my pup, I can’t recommend her highly enough. Fast response time, sends lots of pics, great rate, and super flexible. Your dog will be in great hands with her!”
8. Eleanor M.
“We had an excellent experience with Eleanor and will definitely be using her for all our future dog sitter/boarding needs. Her and her entire family, including her dog Kalvin, are very friendly and kind. She has a large fenced property to give dogs a safe area to play and run around. We did a meet and greet prior to the boarding which put us and our dog at ease. Eleanor was communicative prior to our booking and throughout our dog’s entire stay with her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and her experience with caring and handling dogs was quite evident as our dog does not do well when away from her family and our home, yet our dog seemed so comfortable with Eleanor. Eleanor is very active and walked our dog multiple times during her short stay, which I know our dog enjoyed! My dog is definitely known for pulling on walks but Eleanor was able to keep her in control and at her side during walks! It was very clear to us that Eleanor showered our dog with love and attention as our dog was happy and at ease when we picked her up. It was a seamless transition when boarding our dog with Eleanor and this has not been our experience with other boarding situations. On a scale of 1 to 5, Eleanor definitely earned a 5 star rating! We are so happy to have found Eleanor who is a trustworthy, qualified pet sitter.”
9. Jason H.
“Jason was great with our dog Max. He sent us picture updates and gave Max bath, even though he didn’t have to. At the end he sent Max home with a nice doggy treat bag. Jason went above and beyond and treated our dog Max like his own. I highly recommend Jason for dog boarding services.”
10. Sam T.
“Sam was fantastic. He was very kind and communicative, provided pictures and updates everyday and my dogs loved the experience. Highly recommended.”
11. Ami R.
“I left my pup with Ami for 4 nights while gone on a work trip. She took good care of Mia. I ended up booking last minute so appreciate her fast response. She has a German Shepard who seemed friendly, and loved that my dog could spend time with other dogs. Would book again!”
12. Brittany H.
“Our dogs returned home happy. We left them with Brittany confidant that they would be well cared for and indeed they were. We couldn't not have been more satisfied. We will use her services again.”
13. Vanessa W.
“Vanessa is a rockstar. She sent us multiple photos & videos of our dog Zeus and it made us so happy! We’re always nervous having someone watch Zeus when we go out of town but now that we’ve found Vanessa, we feel so comfortable and happy knowing he’s in great hands with her.”
14. Savanah B.
“Savannah was a pleasure to deal with. I really appreciated the phone call before the booking to give an overview of a typical day for my dog. Very courteous and responsive and gave me plenty of updates on how my pup was doing throughout the day. 10/10!”
15. Holly S.
“Holly was very communicative, responsive, and sent great photos and videos throughout. I had peace of mind as my fur baby can be a little high maintenance when it comes to not being left alone. Would definitely book w her again!”
16. Arcadia B.
“Arcadia and her family are wonderful people. You can relax knowing your dogs are in great hands. Have used Arcadia’s services multiple times and am always happy. My pups are always happy to go to their house.”
17. Stephanie G.
“Stephanie is a wonderful dog sitter! She’s super communicative and made sure she promptly took care of any concerns we had. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a trustworthy, caring and competent sitter!”
18. Danah V.
“Danah was a life saver! She took great care of my senior pups and sent lots of pics. She was even gracious enough to change plans and drop the boys off for me when my circumstances kept me from getting to pickup on time. Thanks so much Danah!”
19. Adriana M.
“Adriana was great with Milo. She took a lot of pictures of him so we could see what he was doing. He looked very happy to be with her. She also thought he was adorable! We will leave Milo with her again in the future if she is available.”
20. Izac R.
“Izac is the man!!!! Saved the day for me. I had left my dog with another sitter that I was not stoked on. He went out of his way to go pick up my dog, took great of him, sent me tons of pictures, took him in walks. My dog was happy when I picked him up. Thanks Izac!!!”
