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!

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! 🐶💛

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!

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!

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!
