“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!”
“Alec and Damien did such an amazing job caring for my pup! They were incredibly responsive throughout the process and provided such a warm and welcoming environment for my dog. My dog felt at home and at ease almost instantly. They sent really thoughtful updates that made it clear that my dog was having a lovely time while I was away! I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Jess is amazing. She is so patient and kind with our overly energetic husky puppy. She is flexible and able to work with you on your schedule. Highly recommend. Will use her services again!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”
“Jodi and her family are the absolute best - our pup has stayed with them many times now during our travels. We think he might like their house better than ours and joke that he is going to sleepover camp! Highly recommend.”
“Dana was great and took the dogs out to the park and in the back yard to release their energy. He was able to give medications and provided video updates of the dogs looking very happy”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Lauren was amazing! She was so good with my dog Jango. We did a meet and create and she was very accommodating to Jango’s needs and was super responsive. While I was away, she sent me great updates on him and communicated whenever she had any questions. Would absolutely book with her again!! Highly recommend Lauren!”
“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Sophia her family and Rex! Communication was always excellent and my dog had a blast, with them. He went on nature walks and got plenty of love and playtime. Also, their dog Rex is the BEST boy with an amazing, temperament. He’s a sweetheart, who loves belly rubs and is my dog’s new, best friend. Highly recommended!”
“Winnie had a great time staying with Lace. Throughout her stay, lace was communicative and even sent pictures of Winnie playing with her two dogs. Will definitely reach out to Lace again the next time we’re out of town!”
“Jason is the best dog sitter! He gave us regular updates with pics which put me and my family at ease while we were on vacation. His dog Noah is so sweet and got along great with my two pups too. I would 100% recommend Jason!”
“Alan and Ying were great with my dog once again. They sent a bunch of videos of him playing and it was clear he had a great time. They were very accommodating with an early pick up time.”
“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!”
“We recently left our Cavapoo, Elsa, with Oscar and Gaelle for almost a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! This was our first time leaving Elsa with someone else, and they made us feel so at ease. Oscar and Gaelle absolutely spoiled Elsa with toys, attention, and care. They kept us updated with regular videos, and it was clear Elsa was having a great time with plenty of walks and playtime. Elsa also loved the company of their dog, Caline, and it was heartwarming to see them bond. The care and attention they gave Elsa went above and beyond—her fur was beautifully brushed, and they even gave her a shower! We felt completely at peace knowing Elsa was in such loving hands. We would 100% trust them with Elsa again and highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring boarder. Thank you, Oscar and Gaelle!”
“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!”
“I had such a great experience with Anna taking care of Miso over the past few days. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout, asking questions like whether Miso was okay riding in the car or meeting other dogs, which really showed how much she cared about making Miso comfortable. Anna and her husband seemed like genuine dog lovers, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miso was in such kind hands. What I loved the most was how often she took Miso out for long walks—several times a day! Miso came back happy and well-exercised. I have only great things to say about Anna, and I would absolutely trust her to care for Miso again. Highly recommend!”
“Delayni is such an amazing sitter. As a first timer boarding my dog, I was beyond uneasy. But Delayni provide such professionalism, patience, kindness and care to not only my dog Bella, but me as her pet mom. I truly recommend Delayni to anyone who is looking for a sitter who not only loves what she does, but treats your dog as part of the family.”
