“Kim did a great job watching our little buddy. I’d highly recommend her. When we inquired how our cat was doing, she was prompt in responding. No complaints here!”
“Julia was great! Quick communication, easy to arrange drop off/pick up times, and clearly took great care of our dog during her stay (including lovely photos and videos throughout). Would book again!”
“Merrick took care of our dog for a long weekend. Communication was good and easy, and our dog came home afterwards very happy and settled. Very happy with this experience, and we will use Merrick again in the future.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“Doug and Debbie were great with my dog Pucha. Pucha came back happy and relaxed. They kept me updated throughout the stay and treated her with much care. I highly recommend Doug and Debbie.”
“I can’t recommend Rico enough! They took incredible care of my dog while I was away and treated them like their own. The attention to detail, patience, and genuine love they showed made me feel completely at ease. I received frequent picture updates, each one showing how happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for my pup was. It was so heartwarming to see them enjoying walks, cuddles, and playtime. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pet, but Rico went above and beyond in every way. I came home to a very happy (and maybe slightly spoiled!) dog. Truly an amazing experience—I’ll definitely be booking again! 🐶💛”
“Clarissa remains the best! Nashi loves going over there and always comes back so exhausted from all the fun she has! Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
“Makda did a great job with our boys. Super friendly and worked perfectly with our scheduling. Thanks again and you will be the first person I reach out to if I need a sitter again.”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“Ian is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! Not only does he provide a huge and comfortable space for all dogs staying with him, he took extra time and care to make sure our dog was comfortable and confident in her environment. Our dog (chihuahua) has never been comfortable around big dogs, but Ian facilitated everything so patiently that by the end of her stay, she was playing with the bigger dogs there! Thanks so much for helping our tiny girl’s confidence!”
“Joerg and Lake were so awesome and easy to work with! Fantastic communication, flexible pick-up/drop-off, and they're pros at dog intros so my pup got on with theirs super well. I felt safe and comfy leaving for a long weekend and appreciated the pics they sent throughout my trip as well!”
“Diana and Scott were amazing! They gave regular updates, sent fun videos/photos, and were super flexible. Ww will be sending our pup to stay with them again!”
“Fantastic experience with Laura and Vladimir. Communication was great throughout. They sent pictures and updates on the dogs daily. Both my dogs seemed really happy when I picked them up. Would definitely recommend and use them again.”
“Susan was incredible taking care of Ernie for the week!! From home made dog treats, to play time, to wonderful updates, Ernie could not have been in better hands. Thank you Susan!!”
“Dasha loved her stay with Janette and Charles! They kept us updated with pictures and videos and our puppy couldn’t get enough of the other dogs and fenced in yard.”
“Thao was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our two dogs, Freyja and Odin. From the very beginning, Thao was incredibly responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions before we even booked. Throughout their stay, she kept us constantly updated with lots of fantastic pictures, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. We are especially grateful for how super flexible and accommodating Thao was with a couple of our last-minute changes of plans. It really helped reduce our travel stress! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thao will definitely be our go-to sitter for all our future trips. We highly recommend her!”
“Rima and her family were wonderful! I received regular texts and pictures over the course of my senior dog's stay. Rima was very accommodating and helpful. I will be booking with Rima in the future for sure. She made this whole process very easy! Thank you Rima and family!”
“This was my first long trip away since getting Clifton and I was so lucky to find Jeff and Ron. They gave great updates and took great care of Clifton. I picked him up and he was happy and calm! Will not hesitate to send Clifton back for a stay.”

Roux had a wonderful stay and Tammy's home was clean, beautiful and welcoming. Tammy was very communicative and easy to chat with. My only small note was there were a lot of other dogs in her care, which I wasn't aware of when booking. Everyone seemed to get along well, although my pup does best in a 1-2 dog home environment.
I could not have asked for a better experience! Our dog, Russell, is a pretty anxious pup, so I was a little nervous leaving him with a new sitter, but Abigail put me completely at ease and more importantly, she put HIM at ease. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. She followed his routine perfectly, which makes such a difference for an anxious dog. She kept me updated with timely check-ins and photos, and whenever she wanted to try something new with him, she always asked first. That kind of thoughtfulness and respect for my pup's needs really stood out. She treated him like her own, and it showed. I have already rebooked and would recommend her to anyone! I am so grateful I found her!
Abaigael was amazing with Aya! She sent frequent updates and I could tell from the pictures that Aya was so happy with her and her family! Super friendly and communicative, I'm super grateful to know Aya was in great company! Oh and she has the cutest pup! Thanks again!
Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!
Jennifer took care of our exuberant shepherd mix for a week while we were out of town. She was always communicative and flexible with dropoff and pickup. We never had any worries and he always is excited to visit Jennifer. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!
My shiba Yuki had an amazing stay with Claire! He was spoiled with lots of backyard playtime and long walks. It’s always stressful traveling when I think about my dog but for the first time I had no worries about Yuki as I knew he was in great hands. Claire consistently sent updates throughout the day that made it my day to see him happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my needy baby!
Cheri was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! Niky was exceptionally well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough. Niky has a bunch of medicine needs and is an older senior dog so she needs a little extra care. Cheri was amazing about it all. Will have her watch Niky again soon!! Great experience.
