“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Celine had such a great time with Gwen and her family! She loved it so much, she came home and went straight to bed ? Gwen messaged me daily and sent photos often, which made me certain Celine was in good hands Thank you Gwen for taking care of my girl like she is one of your own!”
“Our babies had their first weekend visit with Whitney and her family, boy did they enjoy themselves! Whitney was not only personable, she was also on top of everything from the food and pee schedule to sending us little notifications via picture or video to keep us updated on the well-being of our boys. We felt so comfortable with her from the very beginning and will definitely be regulars. Thanks Whitney! Woof Woof (says Lucca and Niko)”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“I highly recommend Katelyn and Paul to watch your pup when you are traveling. I was traveling for two weeksand Katelyn and Paul took excellent care of Rio. They regularly sent me a pictures and he was smiling in every one and enjoying the company of their sweet pup Winnie. They have a very nice home and a secure safe fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. Their dog is apparently well cared for and so I felt completely comfortable leaving Rio with them and never worried about him once while I was traveling. When he came home, he was happy, healthy and content. Thank you so much Kaitlyn and Paul. I am so excited that I found you and will definitely use you on my next vacation.”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Best dog sitters ever! Kept my dog for longer than planned when I couldn't get back from my vacation because of Covid-19. She loves them and they her. She's always happy there.”
“Damariz was amazing with our 4 month old pup. Our little one is still too young to be spayed and Damariz took extra measures to make sure she was safe, took her to doggie parks and out for walks, and kept us very well informed of their day to day. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in Damariz’s care. Thank you!”
“It is my first time using this website and first time leaving my dog with Anchalee. Please know that Anchalee and her husband are such nice people. They were always sending us videos or sending us messages on how are dog Max was doing. It was so comforting to know that Max was in such great hands. I've never left my golden with just anyone, but after today Infeel comfortable asking Anchalee to watch my Maxie again. Thank you for everything!”
“Kaitlin and Verle were great. The perfect place for our dog to stay. From the meet and greet to drop off and pickup, it was all good vibes. They also provided great updates during nacho’s stay with them. Highly recommend!”
“Cristina was amazing with our pup. I felt so at ease leaving my dog with her. We had never boarded our dog before and Cristina was a wonderful first experience. Her home has a nice grassy yard, she treated Trixie like it was hers. She was super flexible with pick up times and rebooking days. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Layla was great in taking care of my Koko B! She sent updates and pictures multiple times throughout my dogs stay. She went above and beyond. My Koko B was satisfied with her stay.”
“Holly was truly amazing! I messaged her a couple days before I was leaving for a 6 day trip. I get very nervous whenever I have to leave Maui as I haven’t always had the best luck with sitters. Holly made me feel so comfortable and she attended to all of Mauis needs. She also sent a lot of pictures and videos while I was gone which I really appreciated. I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Maui had an amazing time with her dog Winter, who is also very loving and playful.”

“Scooby had an amazing time with Erika and her dog, Scrappy! They went on many adventures in the neighborhood and sunbathed in the yard. Scooby felt instantly comfortable with Erika and gave her kisses soon into her stay. Erika was very flexible with our schedule changes and we really appreciate it. I will use Erika in the future and would recommend her to friends!”

Thank you so much, Cerita, to you and your family for taking such great care of Teddy during his three-night stay. He was clearly well loved, and I am sure he enjoyed all the cuddles and attention. We are very grateful for the safe, warm, and caring home you provided.
Karen did a great job at caring for Max while we were out of town for a couple of days. We got daily updates with a lot of cute pictures of Max and her baby Stitch. Safe to say Max made a new friend! Thank you Karen for giving me a piece of mind knowing that Max was well taken care of! 💓
Jade was absolutely terrific! She sent regular videos and photos of my dog, Oscar (a half Great Dane, half Labrador Retriever), which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by giving him a Christmas gift bag filled with treats and toys since he spent the holiday with her—something that truly shows how much she loves and cares for animals. I would 100% recommend Jade and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!!!!
Brooke is absolutely incredible! She’s been the best dog sitter for our furry boy to date! She look an amazing care of our doggie, she provided us with plenty of updates (photos, videos and texts), she was patient and so very caring! She loves dogs and they can feel it! Thank you so much and I hope we will manage to rebook you in the future
Tammy won my heart the moment I saw her photos with her Boxer, Max. We struggled this year to find the right “Vacation Mama” for our Boxer, Vito, over Christmas and New Year’s — and Tammy (plus Max!) turned out to be the perfect match!!! We had to travel overseas, and she kept us updated the whole time with photos and sweet messages. Vito got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and all the love he’s used to at home. When we picked him up, he looked happy and well cared for! We’re incredibly grateful for Tammy and Max. They made our holiday travel worry‑free, and Vito can’t wait to visit again.
Amazing as always! We feel great leaving Clover our dog with Taylor and her family. They treat her like one of their own! To us it feels like she is on her own little vacation as well. Taylor is a great communicator and takes amazing photos! I highly recommend her and hope they are available when we need another sitter!
Ms.Emma was amazing! She sent daily rollups of what my two babies did throughout the day and they really seemed to enjoy themselves. She gave them plenty of exercise and play time. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter if you want your mind at ease while you’re away from your fur babies! Thanks again Ms.Emma!!
My dog is in her later years and comes with a lot of needs and care instructions, and Anja was so willing to accommodate those needs and take on some of the more difficult parts for her care where some other sitters may not be as comfortable taking on those challenges. She did not require a prior conversation, but I wanted to meet in-person to make sure she was comfortable with everything before booking. Anja was more than willing to come meet us beforehand so we could go over her needs and physically show her how to do some things (ie. how to pick up my dog who has sensitive limbs, how to put on a diaper where she’s sensitive, etc.). Even better, Anja was so kind and flexible with me, as I had several issues with transportation and potentially needed to change my dates. I was extremely stressed about making my trip work but this was one thing I didn’t have to worry about once I was able to speak with her and make sure she felt prepared for Abbey’s stay. I sincerely could not recommend her enough if you have a pet with high needs!
We're so glad to count with Ami for Maya's boarding. This time, Maya stayed for a little over 2 weeks. Ami sent sent frequent pictures and updates, which were very helpful as I missed my dog very much. Ami is very communicative and flexible. When I picked up Maya she seemed very happy. Ami and her family took great care of my pup.
