“Our golden retriever, Barkley, had the best stay with Beverly. He was well taken care of, got lots of activity and love. She is going to be our go to Dog sitter for Barkley from now on! Thank you, Beverly!”


“Kristopher took excellent care of our dogs. He was also a great communicator, quick to respond and kept us updated with pictures during the stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Christine and Steven! They were generous in setting up a meet and greet as this was our dog’s first time staying with them. They are caring and responsive, and we really appreciated the photos and updates about our pup!”


“Maggie was so happy when I picked her up! Erica sent fun updates and pictures that gave us such peace of mind on our trip. So grateful for a home away from home for our girl.”


“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”


“Excellent service! Katherine watched my kitty while I was away for a little over a week. She doesn’t have extended rates, and her devotion to your pet is amazing! My little Salem was welcomed in her home and got plenty of care and attention, I got many pictures each day. She’s quick and efficient to reply, I loved her service. If the chance comes up, I will be booking with her again (if she isn’t already booked to full capacity!)”


“Sijie is an amazing dog sitter!! We had a meet and greet, and my sweet pup had a great time with her and her pup! We’ve already rebooked and look forward to our next visit. Sijie sends a great amount of photos and vids!”


“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”


“Ashley was a great communicator and sent me photos of my dog who looked so genuinely happy. She was wagging her tail and had a smile on her face and it was such a comfort to know she was in good hands and having fun! Thank you, Ashley!!”


“Thank you for taking such great care of our pups, Paul & Arnell! It's clear that you extended a lot of patience and care with our very active furbabies. And you two helped us feel so at ease with taking a long weekend vacation. We loved the photos and updates throughout the weekend and we really appreciate your hospitality and welcoming character. No doubt our babes were right at home while staying with you!”


“Amy was an excellent dog sitter for our dog, Walnut! Our dog had a blast and was well cared for, had a great time hanging out and playing with Amy’s pup, Daisy. Amy took good care of Walnut including giving her daily medicine etc., and we loved getting picture updates while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her!”


“Whitney is amazing! Super easy to communicate with, accommodating with our schedules for drop off/pick up and very friendly. Our dog tried to follow her out when she was leaving!! Will definitely work with her again. ♥️”



“Holly was outstanding in every sense! She and her family were so loving, caring, and patient with our baby. She was communicative, and completely understanding when we had to extend our booking due to unforeseen circumstances which only assured me more that Milo was in good hands. She is extremely trustworthy and I know any dog she cares for is lucky to be in her company! Plus her yard is every dog’s dream haha! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. 😊”


“Erin was truly an amazing sitter for our pup Mo! She was so responsiveness from the start and provided regular status updates which helped put us right at ease. We could tell she and her family truly cared about Mo as if he were their own dog. Couldn’t recommend Erin enough!”



“I was really nervous about leaving my German Shepherd mix Callie with a new person for a week while I was out of town. We’re very attached to each other and I had no idea how she would do. Dan sent me fantastic photos almost every day when I was gone, she had other visiting pups to play with, and she came home happy. It seemed to go really smoothly without a hitch which really put my mind at ease. Thanks Dan!”


“Evita was very accommodating with changes to my schedule, great at communicating, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was a relief knowing my pup was in great hands. I’ll definitely book with her again!”


“Susan and Hal were like second parents to my dog Romy. They were communicative sent just the right amount of pics and it was great knowing that she was in such good hands. They seem to treat their dogs almost like their own, and very concerned Romy's stay was as close to her normal life at home. I give them an 11 out of 10 rating!”


“Wonderful sitters! They sent me so many sweet pics and videos of my pup and I knew I didn’t have to worry about him while in their care. 10/10 will book again”
