21. Natasha & Jonathan M.

“My dog Ruby had the best time! Our first stay and it’s safe to say I’ll be booking again in the future. They are strong communicators and I loved all the pictures! My dog is high energy and I’m impressed that she came home tired.”




22. Hannah L.

“Hannah was amazing! She made a huge effort to keep our very active hound exercised and content. We also appreciated the regular communication while we were away. We absolutely recommend Hannah!”


23. Nikki W.

“Nikki was so fantastic! I recommend her HIGHLY! She sent lots of great photos of my Layla lookin so happy, she was on top if her eating, so took her out and about and made sure she was very well loved. I am deeply appreciative and think if you need someone to watch your pooch, Nikki is as good as it gets!”


24. Oana & Oliver B.


“I was so pleased with my experience with Oana and Oliver. It was my first time leaving my pup, and they completely set me at ease. I loved receiving pictures daily of him; I knew it was in great hands and having his very own vacation!! Would absolutely recommend and use them again.”


25. Sujana P.

“Sujana and her husband graciously welcomed Michi into their home for boarding when had some last-minute travel comeup. Their exceptional communication and genuine interest in Michi's well-being immediately put us at ease. They even arranged a Facetime call to ensure they understood Michi's needs and personality. Throughout Michi's stay, Sujana showered us with updates, sending an abundance of heartwarming pictures and videos. It was evident that she paid close attention to Michi's quirks and preferences. We half-jokingly speculated that Michi was enjoying a luxurious "staycation" with Sujana, reluctant to leave her newfound comfort! The level of care and attention Michi received from Sujana and her husband was great and will confidently entrust Michi to their care in the future, knowing she will be treated with the same love and affection.”


26. Rachel S.

“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”


27. Rylee D.

“Rylee and roommate, Megan, did a great job caring for our dog, Scout. They are young women, very responsible, with a good space and ability to care for dogs while travelling. Walking paths and open areas for the dogs to walk and explore nearby. Thumbs up!!”


28. Jo & Adam C.

“Jo & Adam took great care of Strider during the holidays. They also were able to drop by & pick him up & drop him off, which helped immensely with our travel arrangements. I hope to touch base with them again in the future. Really appreciate the updates during his stay.”


29. Mee-Thlen M.

“Our Lab had a wonderful time with Mee, we got lots of updates and it was great to know he was cared for so well. Thank your so much and see you again soon!”


30. Rachel A.

“Rachel was a great host for our dog, Zoe. She was easy to coordinate with and very responsive in communicating with me. We enjoyed seeing photos every day of Zoe and Rachel hanging out, playing, out and about on walks and at the dog park. Zoe came home happy and we'd be happy to leave her with Rachel again!”


31. John C.

“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”


32. Surendra S.


“I don’t even have words for how wonderful Surendra and her family were to our THREE dogs that boarded with them for 10 days. They were outside running around, playing inside and had so much fun. Surendra is amazing with dogs and they enjoyed the big fenced in backyard, endless fetch, cuddles and even had their own bedroom to sleep in!! We felt so much better being gone for so long knowing they were being so well cared for. We got morning and evening photos and videos of all the dogs. They all came home exhausted like they were kids that went to sleep away camp for a week, we cannot say enough kind thinga about Surendra, she is wonderful and we are so grateful for her love and care of our fur babies! They can’t wait to come back and have a sleepover!”




33. Christina T.

“Christina was awesome! This was the longest I’ve been gone from Nori and Christina put my mind to ease by sending me frequent pictures and updates. Nori had a great time and got along with Christina’s dogs very well. I highly recommend Christina for your fur baby needs :)”


34. Dohwee K.

“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”


35. Sergei S.

“Sergei took great care of our two dogs! Prior to the stay, he gathered all of the information about the dogs and sent a suggested packing list to help the dogs feel comfortable. He kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures, videos, and details about what they’d been up to. He was flexible with our pick up and drop off times. The dogs seemed to have had a great time!”


36. Bethany T.


“Bethany was an outstanding pet sitter for my lil boy OB. She was extremely friendly, attentive, communicative and lovely to correspond with. She understood how nervous I was to leave my pup with someone new. She provided updates and photos to let me know he is settling in just fine. I look forward to booking with her again. If you are looking for a great sitter for your pet, look no further!”
