“Took in Monty last minute, sent photos every day and took amazing care of him while we left town! Super nice and friendly people and respond super fast! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Daniela is patient and so caring. We truly loved having her watch our boy. He was entertained and went on many walks. We can’t thank her enough for her care! Would highly recommend her.”
“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job with Bear. Whe was so happy and cared for! We could tell she felt safe and interacted with while we were away. Thanks again!”
“I recently had to go on an international trip for 2 weeks and needed to find a sitter with very little advance notice. I cannot imagine a better choice than Ronald and his family. From the get acquainted visit, to the drop off, and entire two weeks Duke and Daisy spend with them, they were all very welcoming, loving and caring for my kids. The daily update pictures and occasional video showed what a great time they were having and how well taken car of they were. If you want your dog or dogs to feel as at home as they do in your house let them stay with Ronald and his crew. Duke and Daisy came home happier than ever.”
“Naira was so great with my older dog. She sent lots of photos throughout her stay and was very accommodating of special needs. Highly recommend her and will with her book in the future.”
“Linda was incredibly responsive to my request and so easy to work with. She took such good care of my Yorkie and I’m pretty sure he got all the love and snuggles he needed. She is a kind, gentle soul who gave me peace of mind on his 8 day stay. I owe her a huge THANK YOU!”
“Ami rescued us!! She was super responsive! She arranged a meet and greet quickly even though we were needing to leave town the next day and her and her partner knew how to handle dogs really well. My dog can be reactive but with a quick walk around the park her and my pup were doing great! They had a wonderful visit based on the pictures and updates we got over the holiday weekend. We are super excited to have found Ami.”
“Bailey took great care of our two high-energy pups while we were out of the country! She handled my stress about leaving there somewhere new like a saint and we were so happy to see all the photos and updates. Would definitely bring our bananas dogs back to her and her sweet girlies anytime!”
“Doug and Marisol have taken good care of my two dogs twice now for several days at a time. They were warm and caring, and my girls (dogs) seemed to have had a great time. Doug and Marisol are great about sending pictures, videos, and updates, and I appreciate knowing that my babies are being well cared for.”
“I cannot provide a review for a specific dog sitter Absolutely incredible dog sitter! They went above and beyond to take care of our dear Marley while we were away. Not only did they provide excellent care and attention, but they also made sure to keep me updated with photos and messages throughout the entire stay. I felt completely at ease knowing that my pup was in such capable and loving hands. I highly recommend this family to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for the peace of mind and exceptional service 🙏🥰”
“In the past with all my dog sitters, I have never been so satisfy with the care of my dog until I hired Kara. Kara has a dog of her own and really understand what it takes to take care of them. She listens to everything that I requested and follow it on schedule. There were also times that required my decision and she made an effort to text me without a hesitation, no matter how minor it was. I really felt comfortable the minute I have met her with lots of trust to do the job right. I'm not going to waste any more time looking for other sitters, since I found a perfect one. Kudos to Kara and I hope there will be others that will see that too along with me.”
“Jason is fantastic, we are happy repeat clients! Jason takes wonderful care of the dogs in his care and treats them like members of his family. He is a great communicator and is very accommodating. Our Australian cattle dog can be very nervous, but she feels completely comfortable with Jason, which puts our minds completely at ease. We are so thankful to be able to trust she will be loved and looked after when we travel. I would highly recommend Jason to any pet parent!”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
“Hana is amazing! She completely understood our two dogs even at the first meeting. We have a pit mix rescue who is scared of strangers and yet was so comfortable with Hana. Genuinely sweet and caring dog whisperer.”
“Kylie and Anthony took amazing care of our Adonis! They met his needs and were super accommodating to us as we had unexpected travel delays. Will definitely use their services again. I felt so comfortable leaving our pup in their care. He was taken care of like their own family.”
“Damariz did a fantastic job watching Bear while we were in town. She kept him busy and happy and sent me updates and photos throughout the day. I will definitely use her again when in town.”
“Cameron and Adriana exceeded our expectations! We needed a last minute place for our puppy to stay for the weekend and they were happy to take him. It's nice to have a place in the future that we know is safe and can take our puppy any time and he will have a blast!”
“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)”
