Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!

Tully has stayed with Rico three times now, and each time she comes home totally exhausted and unbelievably happy. Rico sends a ton of pictures, gives her plenty of walks, lets her explore the backyard, and generally just gives her (and us!) a wonderful experience. We can’t recommend him and his family enough for your dog-sitting needs!

Susan was fantastic with Gryffin! She sent plenty of updates throughout the visit and was clearly focused on making his time away more like an extended vacation with plenty of toys and playtime other pups. I would have Gryff stay with her again any time.

It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!

We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

When I picked him up and walked him towards my car, he actually wanted to turn around and go back to their place because that's how comfortable he was! I am very grateful for finding these two and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a loving sitter and home for their baby. Thank you both so much for all the updates throughout and taking such good care of him!

Fozzie took to Makda straight away. She allowed Fozzie to sleep in a family bed and honored all requests re walks and treats. Lovely house and neighborhood good for walks and back yard bathroom breaks. Fozzie had a good 4 night break. Ask Makda if there will be another dog there, I wasn’t aware there may be - I hadn’t checked the box req house with no other dog. When I enquired after pick up, I was very satisfied that all was well even though Fozz can be anxious around other dogs. Would definitely recommend.

Ariel had a great stay with Jocelyn! From the beginning, she was communicative, welcoming, and clearly cared about making Ariel feel comfortable. We received updates and photos during the stay, which we really appreciated. Ariel came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!

Jessica is an absolute top-tier dog sitter. She has been caring for my dog for a few years and has always made me feel a sense of solace while I am out of town. My dog treats her house as a second home and she treats him like her own. He never looks back after drop off and even hogs the bed! If you are looking for a lovely, communicative, and super normal person to care for your pet as you would, Jessica is the right choice! I am moving away and Jessica has set the standard for all my future dog sitters. Thank you, Jessica!

Sharon was absolutely wonderful!! We will certainly reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch Betty in the future! She shared lots of updates and photos as well are really integrated our dog Betty into her family and routine which was so important to us!! When we picked Betty up we could tell she was so so happy and comfortable with Sharon and got lots of playtime and love! Sharon made sure there were plenty of walks, park and/outdoor time based on what is best for the dogs! For example one day is was very hot and she set up a pool in the backyard for Betty and her dog! I highly recommend Sharon especially if you have a dog like my Golden Retriever who would much rather be around other people and dogs than in a crate!
