“We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful dogsitter! Chisato goes over and beyond what we expect. We never worry about Winnie while we’re away because we know she is well cared for. We appreciate the photos and comments that are sent to us throughout Winnie’s stay. Winnie loves Chisato and enjoys the time she spends with her. Chisato has certainly earned recognition for being a STAR sitter!”

“Despite short notice due to a family emergency, Julie and Mark has accommodated Toby. Toby was well cared and had a great time staying with them. We will use them again.”

“Shauna and Peter took such wonderful care of our dog Gracie. Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”

“Steph was great. My dog enjoyed running around the yard, playing with her pup, and relaxing when he wanted a break. Steph sent updates during the stay, which I really appreciated. Her home was clean and welcoming, and my dog was his normal happy self when I picked him up. Drop off and pick up were easy, and she was flexible with timing. I would happily book with her again.”

“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”

“Sadie had such a good time with Justine and Brett!! They took care of her over the weekend of our wedding, and it was so great to know Sadie was so well taken care of during our special day. Thanks so much Justine and Brett!”

“This was our first time boarding with Cindy and we couldn't have been more pleased. Cindy is super nice, shared lots of photos and updates with us, and has an amazing, big, fenced-in backyard that allowed our dog to explore and walk around in safely. Cindy took the time to have a nice meet and greet with us before we decided to board our dog with her, and to make sure our pup got along with her dog Coco, who is super sweet and very easy going. They got along great! 5/5 would recommend and book again!”

“Xu and Sam were absolutely wonderful. We left our senior girl with them for the weekend and couldn’t have picked a better home. They truly took care of her like she was their own.”

“We had another wonderful experience with Kelly. Charlie stayed with her and her pups for the weekend-and it just happened to be Charlies 3rd Birthday. She went above and beyond celebrating him with homemade dog-friendly cupcakes, which was so thoughtful and adorable. It gave us such peace of mind that he was not only looked after but truly cared for. Once again he came home happy, healthy and relaxed. We are very grateful for the extra effort Kelly put in to make his Birthday special!! Highly recommend her to anyone.”

“They took good care of our Lucas. It was a last minute booking and they accomodate all our change request. Luca had a good time and i can say that from the photos they send.”

“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”

“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”

“Giselle was an exceptional, approachable nature made our interactions enjoyable and effortless. Based on my experience with her and the family, we can go back to her for our husky baby sit. She send us photos and meet and greet was great ?”

“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”

“Kimberly and her family took great care of my two pups for a long weekend! We received daily pictures and updates that made us feel reassured our dogs were taken care of properly. We could tell she treated them like they were her own! One of our dogs takes at daily medication for their skin allergies and Kimberly was very accommodating with making sure she received it every day. Our dogs had lots of play time as we could tell from one of their toys losing a limb over the weekend (not uncommon for our aggressive chewers). We will definitely be using Kimberly’s services in the future since it was a smooth and easy booking!”

“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”


“Jill sent me daily photos of my dog enjoying her stay. The daily contact was wonderful. Having my dog in a home environment with other people and dogs to socialize with was excellent. Mia will be back to stay with Jill the next time we leave town.”
