2. April L.

“April took care of our frenchie, Sophee, for over 2 weeks and did a great job. She provided regular updates, communicated when there were concerns and even took Sophee to the vet for us. I could enjoy myself on vacation knowing that Sophee was well taken care of. Highly recommend April to watch your pet!”

5. Mary C.


“Mary was an amazing dog sitter for Yali! We received multiple updates each day with super cute pictures. We could tell how well Mary cared for him and incorporated him into her routine, taking him on errands and walks all over the neighborhood. She was very considerate during our initial meet and greet, knowing how to introduce herself and her dog to Yali. This helped him feel comfortable and welcome in her home. She was so kind and sweet to Yali and we are looking forward to booking with her again!”


6. Alex N.

“Zero really enjoyed hanging out with Alex and Wally during his stay with them! Alex was really responsive the entire process from initial conversations, scheduling the meet and greet, pickup/dropoff, and during the stay itself, and provided a lot of really cute pictures of Zero clearly having the best time with them. Alex was very thorough in understanding Zero's needs, and it was clear that she had a lot of tools, tricks (up her sleeve and also teaching one to Zero!), and experience to manage not just Zero and his high puppy energy, but clearly all varieties of dogs and their personalities and quirks. This also comes with a good mentality, appreciation, humor, and understanding towards dogs, and that translates into a wonderful caretaker for your pup. When a small hiccup happened, she told us what happened, how she took care of it, and how Zero reacted as well. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Alex!”


7. Anthony A.

“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”


8. Karen & Hisako N.

“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog Bennett! We’ve never had such a kind and caring pet sitter that we trusted so easily! We received frequent updates and never had any doubt about the level of care our dog was receiving! I 100% recommend Karen and will definitely book again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”




9. Mariola P.

“Our 14 month old dog had never been boarded away from home. Mariola took great care of him at her home for a brief 24 hour stay in anticipation of a longer upcoming planned stay. The communication was excellent and our dog enjoyed spending time with Mariola and two other small dogs. We appreciated having our dog boarded nearby with Mariola in Berkeley.”


10. Lilly R.

“We had a great experience leaving our 3 year old dachshund with Lilly for an overnight stay. We met up the day before for a meet and greet, which was much appreciated. Lilly was great with communication and sent lots of pics/videos as updates during our dogs stay.”


11. Lee J.

“Lee took such great care of our dog over the holidays. We were so at ease even as first time boarders. She sent frequent updates which we really appreciated. We will be using her services again and highly recommend for other dog parents”

Thanks for hosting my baby and being sweet and kind to her! 🥰🫶🏻”

17. Jennifer L.

“I cannot laud Jennifer’s care enough. Truly. We entrusted our brand new puppy of 10 week old to her, and she not only kept us updated regularly, but potty trained, taught her “gentle” and “wait,” and socialized her! Besides the 3-4 walks daily, Jennifer played with our pup with toys and provided lots of belly rubs. She is truly amazing!!!”


18. Andrea L.

“Andrea does an amazing job making sure our dog feels comfortable! She also sends daily updates and pictures, which we love. Our dog also loves playtime with her dogs!”


19. noni p.

“My dog Buddy has experienced anxiety and depression in the past when boarding him. I prefer to have him taken care of at home so was a bit worried about taking him somewhere else. Noni’s place was perfect. She has dogs of her own and it is obvious she is caring and very sensitive when opening g her place up to other dogs. Buddy love his stay and Noni made sure to send pictures and videos everyday and in each one I could tell Buddy was in great hands. Noni was on top of communicating about pick up and drop off as well as what I needed to bring. Absolutely stellar experience for both Buddy and I. Thank you Noni.”


20. Sophia L.

“I booked Sophia for my dog Nugget and he loves her! My dog can be picky on who he wants to be near and Sophia made it easy for Nugget to adapt to her. She was very gentle and was able to read Nugget’s body language. During the stay, Sophia provided constant updates with picture on Nugget which included the number of walks they did and if Nugget was eating right. Overall, Sophia was the best dog sitter I’ve booked and I think I found my forever dog sitter.”
