“I dropped Buddy off the morning of 4/9 and picked him up on the 14th. Devin sent a text with pictures to show that Buddy had setteled in and playing with the other dogs. When we got home he slept the day away so I can only assume he had a good time. I would recommend Devin in a heart beat. Next time we need somebody Devin will definitely be the one I call”


“Gillian is the best and u can tell she does dog sitting as a labor of luv because it is obvious how much she loves and is good with animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our 10 mos Corgi Bear with her for the first time for a few days and could tell how much fun he had with Gillian’s dogs while he was there. Daily throughout our weekend she sent updates with videos and pics which made leaving him for the first time much easier😊”


“As usual, Jen is the ultimate pet sitter. Her attention to detail from sending daily pictures and updates to flexibility in her schedule keeps her at the top of my list for Wolfie. Thank you again!”


“Castro had a wonderful time with his new friend Bear! Mike and his girlfriend/wife were super accommodating with our drop off/pick up time and were very very warm. I would definitely leave my dog in this couple's care again :)”


“Chrissy has done an amazing job watching my dog Riley for a couple of days. Riley and I liked her from the first time we met. He had a lot of fun being with her. I really liked that she provided updates and pictures each day. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Chrissy! 😊”


“Kathy was so wonderful with my little guy!! I booked her very last minute and she was so accommodating and took care of my baby for 2 days while I worked. It was so nice to not have to worry about him because I knew he was in good hands. She sent me so many pictures and updates so I never had to wonder how he was.”


“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”


“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”



“Lourdes is amazing! Prince had the best boarding experience. She provided continuous updates and also shared ample of pictures. I will definitely recommend Lourdes to anyone looking for pet boarding!”


“I’m a repeat customer because my dog loves staying with Peg. He’s always excited to head into her home. Not to mention, Peg has been very responsive and flexible for booking, drop off, and pick up. Hoping Peg is available the next time I need a sitter.”



“John and his family were so nice, and very accommodating with less than a week's notice. My senior dog Chip seemed to feel right at home with them, and came home tired and happy so he clearly got lots of playtime and attention. I will absolutely reach out to John again if I'm in need of someone to watch my pup.”


“Jonathan was great while sitting our Cooper! He accepted our last minute reservation when another sitter left us without someone to take care of him the night before our trip. Jonathan’s dog, Oreo, was a sweetheart and kept Cooper company the whole time. Thank you Jonathan and Oreo!!!”

“We just had our first booking with Thomas and couldn’t be more grateful for his excellent care of our dog Harley.He sent messages and photos daily reassuring us that she was doing well. She had plenty of playtime, walks and attention which she loves. Thomas will definitely be our go to for Harley!”


“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”


“Tamara did a great job with our 2 yr old high energy labor doodle she had her for 10 days and treated her like family took her to a neighborhood walks and a BBQ and more highly recommend”


“Cansu watched our puppy Winston for a week while we were out of town and made him feel right at home! It was our first time leaving him and she made me feel very comfortable sending us videos and pictures daily! He got along well with their dogs and loves running around in their huge fenced in yard! Thank you again Cansu!”


“My dog has stayed with Julia several times, and Julia has quickly become my go-to dog sitter. My dog is always extremely excited when I drop him off, which is a testament to how well Julia treats him and takes care of him. I trust Julia 100% with my dog. In addition to being consistent and reliable, she is very responsive and sends daily picture updates where I can see that my dog is having a great time. She is also very flexible with scheduling, even during busy times. When my flight plans changed over the holidays and I needed her to watch my dog for a few extra days, she was extremely accommodating and put my mind at ease. I would 100% recommend Julia to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter in the Saratoga area.”
