“Lee was fantastic! She took great care of our elderly dog and was attentive to her every need. We had never left our little pup with anyone but family before but Lee made us feel secure with regular updates and photos. Our dog had a such a great time! It was wonderful to return and see our dog so happy!”


“Karen is a lovely human and a dedicated dog lover. We adopted a hound last July and she has had a few challenges, so we looked for a boarding option that would be a positive experience for our dog while also providing enough supervision and calm attentive care so she would feel comfortable. Our pup has become very attached to me because of the many times she was abandoned, so it really took a special touch to help her feel safe right away. Karen’s dog Ginsburg became her pal, and they spent hours basking in the sun on the deck in the backyard. When our pup came home after staying with Karen she was happy and calm, with no added nervousness or reactivity after the change. From our first meeting when Karen and Ginsburg met us for a walk Karen was also a wonderful resource, sharing helpful ideas after listening closely to our specific challenges with our sweet sensitive hound. After our first meeting I asked if we could meet a second time and Karen suggested we meet at her house so I could see how Rosie behaved in her home. This was such a helpful step, and helped me feel comfortable boarding her at Karen’s house. If you want a household of dog lovers who truly care about your dog’s well being and healthy development, then this is the place for you!”


“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”


“Alexandra is a great sitter. She was very careful to gather information so she could personalize care for my dog. And she sent text and video updates. Would definitely take my dog here again!”


“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”


“Awesome sitter! Took care of my guy for a few days, sent photos of my guy on walks, playing, sleeping on the couch. Clearly a household of dog lovers who go above and beyond to make sure your pup feels cared for and loved. My guy is a snuggle bug and I got plenty of photos of him snuggling with various members of the family. Made me happy and took the stress out of boarding my dog, also has the best rates locally. Check him out, great guy, family man, dog lover, you wont be disappointed!”


“Kelly was amazing! She sent pictures and videos of our precious baby being pampered every day we were gone! When we had a travel upset she was very understanding and accommodating to our change of plans. We picked our darling up to find that she'd been bathed and had her her harness and collar washed. Kelly even sent us home with a bag of treats. We had a much more relaxing vacation knowing that our darling was having such a great time with Kelly! One thousand stars!”


“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”



“Natalie & Matt were the best sitters for Joey! They were quick to respond and set up a meet & greet prior to us leaving for our long weekend. They made sure that my partner and I felt comfortable and answered any questions we had. Joey instantly connected with them which also made us feel at ease. During our trip, they checked in throughout the day giving us a peek into what they were up to and how Joey was doing. We could tell Joey was having the best time with them! We will definitely be reaching out to them in the future for watching our girl!”


“Chad was an amazing dog sitter. He was very attentive, responded quickly to my questions and had the perfect amount of space for a playful dog. I would recommend anyone leave their dog with him!”


“2nd time using Suzanne. We left Georgie for 14 days. We received updates daily. Georgie always has a good time at Suzanne’s. We missed him but felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands.”

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”


“My elderly boxer, Shug, had his first stay with Kit last week. It was a great time for him. Kit is warm and responsible. When she was concerned about an ongoing eye problem of his, she didn’t hesitate to phone me for a consultation. Her love for dogs shines. She is able to manage her own two dogs and several guest-pups at the same time. Kit’s premises are dog heaven. She has a large hard-scaped courtyard as well as an open hillside for outdoor play. Her guests are welcomed into the house and given plenty of cuddles and affection. Shug was given lots of human attention and canine socializing. When I arrived to pick Shug up, he initially sauntered up to greet me, then immediately ran back to the glass door to try to rejoin his pup-pals inside the house. It was the ultimate proof that he had a terrific experience with Kit. I’m delighted to commend her to you without reservation.”


“Where do I even start? Chawntea’s reviews speak for themselves and after coming across her profile I knew that she would be a perfect fit for looking after my sweet boy. I received plenty updates and even came back to a freshly bathed pup which was so unexpected yet so appreciated. 100% recommend her and can’t wait for more fun times between Juice and Bailey!”


“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”


“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”


“Hy and Arlo are awesome!! They took great care of Rex and Monkey last week. During the stay Hy and Arlo were being very responsive to our text messages, and they also sent over pics and updates about our pups that really eased our feelings of being away from the pups. We have upcoming stays booked with Hy and Arlo, and we will definitely recommend them to our friends who has boarding needs.”


“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
