Carina and Avi were absolutely amazing looking after our dog, Cooper! They treated him like he was part of their own family, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Cooper enjoyed numerous walks every day, and they kept us updated with lots of videos and photos, so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. It was clear from everything they did that they genuinely love dogs. We couldn’t have asked for better caregivers and would highly recommend Carina and Avi to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Cooper!

Carina and Avi are incredible doggie sitters. My Mom's little dog is spoiled and loves one on one attention. They gave him a couple of walks, lots of exercise and playing, and played him out by the end of the day. We will definitely book with Carina again in the future. Love love!
