I was nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time and lee made it so easy and smooth. Billie had an amazing time and Lee put my mind at ease by sending me lots of videos and pictures. She's a great communicator and so clearly loves the puppies.

I was super nervous leaving my two with someone new, as they've always stayed with the same person for the last 7 years. Suzanne was great at keeping me updated and reassured, loved the photos she sent and I didn't need to worry at all as they had a great time and were so chilled out, definitely think they have found a second home with Suzanne and I know our next trip will be a breeze as I will be confident they are well looked after.

I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter caring for my elderly dog. They ensured that all of my dog’s needs were met — from medication management to gentle exercise and plenty of love. Their regular updates gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, caring support for their senior pet.

Zo is an exemplary pet sitter in my opinion. This was my first time boarding my cats for a vacation and she walked me through the process beforehand, which I greatly appreciated. She suggested I bring things like a scratching post which I hadn’t even considered. Zo has been more than accommodating by communicating daily with updates, pictures, and even videos of my cats’ visit. When it was time to pick them up, Zo had all of my things conveniently packed and ready to go by the door. The whole process went so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating, experienced, and friendly pet sitter. Thank you Zo! I will be recommending you to everyone I know and will come back the next time I need a sitter.

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!

I was out of town for 6 nights, and Juliana and Katherine took amazing care of my dog, Pippi. They went above and beyond—taking her to different dog parks, on neighborhood walks, and making sure she felt right at home. I loved receiving the updates and great photos of her playing in the parks and relaxing in their dog-friendly backyard. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend them!

I couldn’t be happier with the care Koko received from Miki. She helped me to pickup my rescue dog from the shelter. The situation it’s very difficult for me when I am living out of state. It was very clear how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while waiting for someone transport Koko back to AZ. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Highly highly recommend!
