“Luciana has kept our pup numerous times—for long stays and day boarding. We always know he’s in fantastic hands and completely trust her for all aspects of care. She send great photos and videos regularly. We will definitely continue to use her for any babysitting.”
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

“Jisoo was wonderful with my dog (again)! He remembered her immediately from our last visit a couple of months ago and was extremely excited to see her. Jisoo sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated, and I could see that my boy was having a great time. I will definitely be booking daycare with Jisoo again in the future!”
“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”
“We had a great experience with Shaina! She was flexible with our fluid schedule, accommodating, communicated quickly, and took good care of our girl. Would definitely recommend!”
