“Priscilla absolutely exceeded beyond my expectations with taking care of my senior dog. Highly professional and care for my sweet dog. We even noticed his health has improved by her care!”


“Gabriela was wonderful with our little dog Juniper! She took really good care of her while we were gone. We are so happy Juniper had a comfortable, safe, and fun place to go when we are out of town.”


“Stacy and her family took wonderful care of Curie! We got plenty of updates. The level of communication assured us that she was in good hands. She was happy when we picked her up but also wasn’t too eager to leave the people that gave her all the treats and belly rubs :) Thank you so much!”



“Stephen was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! He took exceptional care of our boys, and ensured that they were happy and comfortable. His frequent updates—photos, videos, and messages—gave us such peace of mind, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”


“It was Kimo's first overnight stay at Rebeca's home and it turned out great! He was a little nervous, but as the night progressed, he was able to relax and play with the other dogs. I am considering having Kimo go over once a week for doggie play dates. Rebeca was friendly and she has a calm demeanor, which I appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone within the Woodbridge area.”


“Stella absolutely loved staying with Sarah and her family. I received pictures and updates daily and was at total peace knowing my pup was having the best time while we were away. I will definitely be using Sarah again for any future dog sitting.”


“Carlos was so great with my Edgar. Very attentive and communicative. He creates a great environment for dogs and treats them like part of the family!”



“We were very pleased with the service provided to our baby…this was our first experience so I was a bit nervous, but Vronnie arranged a meet and greet and was very loving in her disposition. She had a schedule and plan that worked well with our needs. She’s in a beautiful community that is also dog friendly…we received daily photos which made things easier as well…I’d highly recommend Vronnie!”


“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”


“Moneya did an amazing job! I am sometimes skeptical of sitters with no reviews (for obvious reasons), but Moneya certainly gave me a new outlook and perspective. Everyone has to start somewhere! 100 reviews doesn’t automatically guarantee a great stay (I know from experience) and 1 review doesn’t mean that the sitter is inexperienced or a scammer. My other sitter cancelled on me around midnight and while I’m usually asleep, I happened to be awake to see the cancellation and had little to no time to find a sitter. I usually do meet and greets to make sure that my pups are responding well to the potential sitter and also to ensure safety on both parts. I messaged Moneya and she immediately responded. She was kind, professional, willing and extremely responsive. I would not hesitate to lodge Miloh again and will certainly be reaching out whenever I need services again. She sent pictures and Miloh honestly looked like he was having more fun there, than with us. Likely because there are no children and he loves kids! I told Moneya that Miloh may have had a bit of separation anxiety because I normally sit him with his brother, Kiwi and because of the last minute cancellation. (From someone who sat both), I don’t want it to be too much on a first time sitter, so I split them up. Moneya invited me to bring Kiwi along next time and let me know that she would definitely keep them, which lessens BOTH Miloh and my own anxiety, a ton. I highly recommend Moneya as a sitter and am most grateful that she took such great care of my pup!”



“Ariel did a great job looking after our Greyhound. She kept was well informed how she was doing and sent over various pictures in her updates. Ariel integrated our pet with her two dogs and children.”



“My dog had a great time. Came home and went right to sleep. Sabine sent a ton of photos and contacted me if she had any questions about the care of Duke. Super friendly and great.”


“Thank you for taking such good care of Chase! I felt confident you were treating him like a member of your family and we could enjoy ourselves without worry.”


“Thank you for the constant communication and sharing pictures of our very happy dog! It warmed our heart and gave us comfort to know she was well-taken care of by you! We'll definitely rebook with you again when the need arises!”


“Michael and his family took amazing care of my dogs while I was away for a two week vacation. The dogs were able to spend time in the fenced-in yard and inside on comfortable furniture. One of my dogs (who has separation anxiety) was even was hand-fed all of his meals! I received many pictures when I was away which made me feel at ease. When I picked my dogs, all of their food and belongings were neatly organized. I felt completely at ease about my dogs staying with Michael and I did not worry about their care one bit while I was away. The care routine for my dogs is pretty intense and I know that Michael and his family followed it, which means so much to me.”



“Marcela was caring and welcoming to our pup. She was able to tire him out which is a huge feat! She updated us daily on what was happening and even sent photos. Our pup was well loved and cared for in their home. Highly recommend them!”


“Katherine took excellent care of our dog Goose. We were able to go on vacation knowing he was in good hands. He is a very energetic dog (springer spaniel) but got all the exercise he needed, especially with her dog to play with. He will definitely be staying with her again soon!”


“Yolismal and her family are friendly and welcoming. They were easy to work with, responded promptly to all my texts, and sent regular photo updates. They followed my feeding instructions, even though they are a little complicated. Most importantly, they gave my dog Gretel lots of love. Gretel is an anxious dog, but I could tell from her body language in the photos that they put her at ease. When I picked her up, she was calm and happy - and that made me happy.”
