“Jillian and her family were great. It started with a welcoming meet and greet, followed by over a week long visit of kindness and care for our Marley. Pictures and videos were sent which gave us joy seeing him. Our Marley seamed very happy. It was like home away from home. Thank you to Jillian and her family! I will definitely use them again to care for our Marley.”


“Jonathan took care of Cherry very well. He kept us updated frequently with photos and videos of her. He trained her to climb steps, took her on a car ride, and let her play with the other dogs. He is a trusted pet sitter and a passionate pet-lover. Highly recommended.”

“I can’t thank Carol enough for taking such great care of my fur baby while I was away!! He was very comfortable staying with her and was definitely pampered. I only hope she’s available to watch him any time I need to leave town.”

“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”

“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”

“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”

“Amanda was great with my dog and provided a wonderful home away from home for my dog. I already booked a longer stay for an upcoming trip and feel comfortable knowing that my dog will have kind people to watch her and nice dogs to hang out with throughout her stay. Amanda sent updates and photos which was appreciated!”

“We were very nervous about leaving our older, medicine-requiring dog at a boarding home, but Louis made us feel at ease — both before we started the stay as well as throughout our dog’s boarding— we received regular updates and photos which comforted us greatly. Louis clearly loves dogs and provides a wonderful environment for them. I have no reservations in using him again and I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone else who seeks a loving home for their dog while they are away.”
“Bobbi is the greatest person you will ever meet. I have lost count of how many times I have booked her. Every time it is an amazing experience. I’m sure my cat, Sherri, is looking forward to seeing her again when I go away for the 4th of July holiday weekend that’s coming up. A+! 5 Stars!”

“Chelsea was great with our 8 month old pup! He played well with her dog and she kept us updating with pictures throughout the night. Highly recommended Chelsea for anyone looking to dog sitting services.”

“I am so happy and blessed to have gotten Bydette recommended to me to watch my puppy during my stay in New Jersey. She has a lovely family and the most adorable children. My puppy fell in love with them immediately. She kept me updated with everything that was going on and kept me updated when I expressed with her he was having some tummy problems. I just knew he was in awesome hands, I didn’t worry one bit. I will definitely book again next time I am in town! If I could give more stars I would.”

“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”

“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”


“Amy was great. This was our first time leaving our very shy dog with someone, and we were confident she was in great hands and received lots of love. We would use Amy again without hesitation.”

“Darien took such amazing care of my girl during my 3-week trips and constantly updated me with photos and how the little one was doing! She is deeply caring and professional, highly recommend her for daycare and boarding services!”

“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”

“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”

Jillian has been absolutely amazing. She has taken care of our Marley several times now, and each experience has been wonderful. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our fur baby is safe, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend her.

Sriram and Rekha took really good care of Momo during his stay with them. he has separation anxiety, but they made him feel very safe and comfortable. They are good dog parents and cared for momo very well. Momo enjoyed his stay and we were happy to have found a great place to board him in the future. Really grateful to them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog boarding.

This is the third time that Charina and Sunny have watched our dog Max and I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. I trust them fully to not only take great care of him, but also to diligently give him his meds and address his health. Their home is a perfect place for dogs and the pictures that Charina takes and sends to us are helpful and really nice! Thx so much!

Violetta took great care of my pup. She went above my expectations. Violetta is excellent at letting me know how Rio is doing. She sent me daily photos and messages of Rio and keep me posted. We were very happy Violetta with the care while we were away. I would book with Violetta/Rover again in future.
We had such a great experience using Ruyi. She was kind, pleasant, and always stayed in contact with us. She sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay and even had a video call with be before hand to show me exactly where my dogs would be. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back to stay with her!
