“Winston loved staying with this lovely family. We were given updates and pictures daily. We highly recommend this family we know that our pup was taken care of very well.”


“Edith was the perfect sitter for our Gracie! She allowed a meet-and-greet before Gracie’s stay, was careful to follow our care instructions, and gave us regular updates every day. We felt very comfortable leaving Gracie with Edith and would love to do so again in the future!”


“Robert was truly amazing! We took a trip to Wisconsin, and he took such great care of our dog, Rice. Not once did we have to stress. Robert provided lots of photos, which reassured us that Rice was also having the time of his life. I would recommend Robert to everyone I know!”


“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”

“We had a little emergency and had to find last-minute accommodation for our 10-month puppy. Michelle and her daughter, Madeleine responded immediately and were able to accommodate our puppy in less than an hour. Such a short notice! We were sent pictures every 15 mins and our puppy was treated well. We are very thankful to Michelle and Madeleine!”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“Excellent host! They send daily pictures and updates. My dogs looked so happy being in their home and backyard. Great communication and very flexible and accommodating.”

“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Julie was absolutely fantastic. She knows dog behavior very well and I completely trusted her with my 12 week old puppy who is very nervous. Julie went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“Manuela took great care of our dog, Izzy, for the week. She asked detailed questions about Izzy's care routine to make sure the transition was as smooth as possible. We received photos and updates throughout the stay. We'd be happy for Izzy to stay with her again.”



“Very responsive and our dog had a great time! We appreciated the meet-and-greet before deciding to leave her here. The photos showed she had a great time and didn’t want to leave!”


“Grace and her family provided excellent care for my dog Maisie. I have already scheduled two more visits! I recommend them without reservation. You will not be disappointed!”


“Da Yeon and her partner took such great care of my very energetic pup, Cricket, while I was on vacation for over a week. Da Yeon checked in to make sure I was happy with the frequency of updates she was sending, and was super flexible and helpful when I completely botched our return time. There's nothing better than knowing fur babies are in good hands when traveling, and I can't recommend Da Yeon enough - thank you for everything!”



“Janie provided wonderful care to my dog, Bailey. I could not be happier! She sent lots of photos of their time, took him to the park, and even gave him a bath when he had too much fun in the mud :). I felt very comfortable and confident that Janie would treat Bailey like her own. He came home happy and tired !”
