“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
“Emily and Hector were absolutely incredible with Gavin. They provided plenty of updates throughout the stay, including photos and videos, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. They were extremely communicative and always checked in with any questions regarding Gavin’s care and comfort, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Gavin came back happy and relaxed, and it’s obvious he loved his time with them. Their dog Lemon is also wonderful and made for a great companion. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend Emily and Hector to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters.”
“This was Ruby’s second stay with Kim and her son, and her first time staying overnight for > 1 day. This was a great opportunity for our puppy to socialize with other dogs. Kim provided daily updates and was flexible as we figured out how to make Ruby’s first long stay comfortable. Ruby is still working on her crate training and seems further along now than when we dropped her off. It’s clear Kim took care of Ruby as if she were her own dog, which kept us at ease while we were out of town.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“Ruby stayed over night with Charissa and Akira and had a great time. Charissa was super responsive and sent plenty of photos. Ruby loved having another dog to play with and a large yard to run around in.”
“Maria and Ron are amazing with Millie, always feel so comfortable and happy to leave her with them. They treat her to many walks, cuddles and treats - great communication and picture updates too! Can’t recommend enough, love how much they love our girl!”
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”
“If I could give Nicole and Spencer 15 stars, I would. They took great care of my dog, Whitney. I received an update and photos every day and I could see how happy she was with the family. They all bonded beautifully. I will definitely book a stay with them the next time I travel. I know my dog is in great hands and a wonderful happy place.”
“Rachael was so great with my senior pup! She administered his medicine on time daily, and listened to his needs regarding exercise in the heat. Her dog Tiger got along great with my dog, even though Dutch kept trying to take over all of the sleeping places. Rachael was super communicative, she sent lots of pictures, and demonstrated that she had taken the time to read thru and understand all of my pup’s care instructions. I would trust Rachael to watch Dutch again!”
“Tony and his wife were a lifesaver when my mother-in-law unexpectedly passed away and we suddenly had to leave town for over a week. They quickly arranged a meet-and-greet and our dog got along great with Louie. They were patient with our dog when he had trouble adjusting to his new environment and the sudden disappearance of his family. They took him for walks and set pictures and videos to calm our anxieties about leaving him with people who we don’t know. When we returned to pick up our dog, he was happy and healthy, I think he even missed his pal Louie when we took him back home! We are very grateful for Tony and Nicole’s quality pet care.”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog with Kimberly and Casey. They provided daily photos and updates. My dog Callie had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking with them!”
“Moriah took great care of Lewis while we were away for the holidays! Our dog isn’t good w other dogs and I appreciated her attentiveness to his need for space, her communication, and the many photo updates while we were away. Thanks Moriah!”

Emily is fantastic!! She gave our beloved furbaby so much love and attention. And she sent us lots of videos and photos so we could see what he was up to while we were on vacation. She was also flexible with us when we needed to change our dropoff and pickup times. Also her dog Lemon seems very calm and sweet and our dog seemed to get along great with him. Absolutely recommend her for your dog!!
Rachael was so great with my senior pup! She administered his medicine on time daily, and listened to his needs regarding exercise in the heat. Her dog Tiger got along great with my dog, even though Dutch kept trying to take over all of the sleeping places. Rachael was super communicative, she sent lots of pictures, and demonstrated that she had taken the time to read thru and understand all of my pup’s care instructions. I would trust Rachael to watch Dutch again!
Once again Allie came home happy from her adventures with Moriah and Luke. Although this was a longer than normal stay for Allie, she looked very comfortable and content in the pictures I received from Moriah. I love that I am updated often, which puts my mind at ease while I’m away.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Alex and her family, it was clear they genuinely love dogs. They welcomed our dog, Gilmour, into their home and treated him like a member of their own family, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the booking and stay. We received the perfect balance of check-ins that reassured he was being good and nothing for us to worry about. Alex and her family are incredibly capable, trusting, and have a happy home. Our Gilmour loved the amount of attention and play time he got, he was clearly spoiled! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. We are so grateful and will absolutely book with them again, if they'll have us!

Carine took exceptional care of my pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She maintained clear and consistent communication throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, it was obvious he had a great tim! He was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her home is clean, welcoming, and truly a wonderful environment for pets. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Our dog, Zelda, just moved right in and became part of the family for an 11 day stay. Nicole was sharply tuned in to Zelda's moods and needs. She kept us updated with texts and photos. We would have no hesitation having Nicole care for her for any length of time. She is now our go to sitter.
Karla is the best! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks. It was the first time we had someone watch him who wasn't family or friends. We immediately he was in the best caring hands. Karla is a pro and took the excellent care of our dog. We got regular updates that let me know he was having a great time. Karla is a wonderful choice for taking care of your fury family member.
