“Susan was great. We were very nervous to leave our young (1.5 year old) dog for the first time, but Susan reassured us and kept us informed everyday with how he was doing. Susan made sure to play him and walk him often. We could tell from the videos Susan sent us that he had a fun time.”
“Andrew was responsive and kind and took great care of Poppy! Even better was that his dog Mango was a wonderful companion for our 6 month old puppy and they played and got along great. Our dog is home and now sleeping, which is ideal : )”
“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”
“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Our pup Leo had a great stay with Amy. It was our first time leaving Leo with a sitter while we were out of town so we were a bit anxious. Amy sent photos twice daily from their walks in the morning and at night, which helped put us at ease and were greatly appreciated. She was also very responsive to all of our messages. Thanks again Amy!”
“Eleanor is super thorough, communicative, and made sure she had all the info she needed to make my dog Olive comfortable during her stay. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Pamela is a great pet sitter and made sure my dog felt comfortable. She sent us a lot of pictures and updates during my dog’s stay and I could tell he was very happy. She was also very responsive and accommodating when I had changes in my travel plans. Thank you Pamela!”
“Grateful so much for her taking care of Biggie, as it can be challenging him being a senior dog. Great communication, thoughtful and super flexible.”
“Tatiana was amazing! I was a little nervous leaving my pup with someone, but she was so thoughtful and sent awesome pics throughout the days. Luna had a blast with Moki; they played so much- she was even sad to leave. I highly recommend Tatianna (and Moki!)…I will definitely be using her for future trips.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup, Tedi. Let me tell you.. Tedi had the most amazing time w. Katie!! She was taken on so many adventures and super well cared for! Katie took a zillion hilarious pictures of Tedi and shared them with me. She even made sure Tedi had a playmate that was her size during her stay. Katie is now my go to sitter ❤️. I’d highly recommend her to all pup parents.”
“Alexis is simply the best! Their incredible kindness and attentiveness with Reese exceeded all my expectations. I couldn’t have found a more caring and reliable person to look after him. Reese absolutely adored Alexis and her daughter, and it’s clear they have a special way with pets. Highly recommend!”
“Five stars!!! I couldn’t even begin to tell you how friendly and professional Saylor is. Handing off my three month old puppy to a stranger was definitely stressful, but Saylor‘s passion and love for animals put me at ease. With many updates from Saylor throughout my puppy’s overnight stay, I was reassured she was in great hands. Definitely booking another stay with Saylor in the future for my fur baby.”
“Wei Han was wonderful! My pup had such a great time and she even gave her a t-shirt to go home in. I could really enjoy my vacation knowing Sadie was in good hands. I would definitely use her again!”
“I highly recommend Ana and Luis. They are both responsible and thoughtful with their care. I cannot say enough good thing. I know feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with them.”
“Kat and Jassie are me and Oona’s favorite sitters! She is inseparable from their dog Coco. I always know Oona’s having the best time with them, and I really appreciate how Kat is so communicative and sends so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay.”
“Once again we were extremely pleased with Vivian. Willow was happy and looked liked she had so much fun at Vivian's. We received updates and always in communication with her. She is my #1 sitter to go to.”
“Amanda has everything you want in a dog sitter, she’s extremely kind and loves dogs. I am so happy I came across her service page, because not only did king enjoy himself at her place, he was well taken care of. She even offered to bathe him which I thought was so sweet. She sent me pictures everyday and let me know how he was doing , morning and night. You will not regret booking Amanda, she will take good care of your little one!”
“Victoria is fantastic. This was my first time leaving my baby with someone that is not family. From the pick-up to the daily pictures and videos, Victoria made me feel at ease that Mavi was in really good hands. I was truly able to enjoy my trip and will definitely be booking with Victoria again (hopefully she's always available). Highly recommend!”
“Naomi was amazing! Benji had an amazing time and Naomi was communicative and great throughout the whole process!! I highly recommend working with Naomi, I felt that my dog was in great hands while I was away.”
