“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Thank you so much Nally for taking care of my Leo! 😍 I just went on a business trip to Texas and had a last minute change with my other sitter and was in a bind. I was so stressed out because I wanted to find good care for my puppy. Nally literally came to my rescue. Everyday she sent me photos and videos of my babe and I can tell with her expertise and experience taking care of dogs that my puppy was in good hands. Couldn’t have found a better person to care for him. Thanks so much! Leo will love to go back to your care Nally! You’re the best ❤️😍”


“Anna is an exceptional dog sitter. She is a true dog whisperer - very sensitive to my dog's needs. Pippi has a wonderful time with her and the other dogs in her care. She's the best!”


“Yizi sent lots of pictures, responded promptly to any questions. My small dog was very happy to arrive at her apartment and was well rested and content when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again!”


“This is Cleo and Sansa’s second stay with them. They are very flexible with our timing and the girls love to stay with them. Will definitely keep rebooking with them!”



“Lace was absolutely wonderful with our dog Stella. We are so happy to have found someone so trustworthy and kind in our neighborhood, and we will definitely be rebooking with Lace the next time we a dog sitter!”


“Sophia was so wonderful with our two pups while we were away on vacation. She constantly kept me updated with photos and they were staying active, which was something they really needed. So lucky to have found Sophia (and her family) to care for our dogs. I’d recommend Sophia 100% to anyone who is looking for a sitter who loves dogs and will take good care of your furry family members.”


“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”


“Ashley was terrific. I am a highly anxious dog mommy and I felt that Bertie was in safe, loving, and skilled hands. Ashley’s two dogs couldn’t have been sweeter or more welcoming to our pup, either. Ashley has a great backyard that’s well fenced and she sends lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely be returning for future dog-sitting needs. Thanks, Ashley!”


“Julie had a great time with Casey. As this was my first time leaving her, I appreciated the updates and great communication. Will definitely be reaching out to Casey next time I need a sitter!”



“Delayni took great care of my dog Archie for the week I was away in Florida. her love of animals is evident in her enthusiastic approach. Archie was actually crying when she left.”


“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”


“Jason was absolutely amazing with my dog, Tayto! I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. Jason totally welcomed Tayto in to his home and family. His dog, Noah, was the best playmate for Tayto. Jason gave lots of updates and photos to share all the fun they were having together. Definitely recommend and will be booking with him again!”
