“My dog was taken very good care of. I loved seeing all the pic they shared. She had much to see and do. She got lots of love and attention. Thanks for taking such great care of her.”


“Sunmee and Patrick were absolutely wonderful and treated our dog like their own family member. They were very thoughtful and vigilant, and went above and beyond to make sure that our senior dog was well cared for. Our dog was loved and pampered, and looked so happy during her stay. Thank you Sunmee and Patrick! Looking forward to booking with you again for our future trips.”


“Coconut had a great time and Kenny was really responsive anytime I had a question or an update. Will absolutely look at them the next time I need someone to board our puppy”


“Laila took wonderful care of Coco. She sent lots of cute photos and videos, and I did not have a single concern. I'd be thrilled to have Coco stay with Laila again in the future.”



“Daria is wonderful! She took great care of our dogs, sent pictures constantly, and loved them like her own! I never had any concerns. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry because I know my babies were in good hands. They spent lots of time in the sunshine, and she happily accepted their flaws (like a beagle who much bark at all delivery trucks). She was also super accommodating with drop off and pick up, making the whole process a breeze. I 100% will be reaching out anytime I need a sitter. 10 out of 10 would recommend her!”


“Lena was an excellent dog-sitter, calm and loving! Both of my dogs were surprisingly comfortable at her house from the get-go and Lena sent daily photos and videos which showedl they were happy and content during their stay. We will definitely call on Lena again!”


“Amy is amazing! I work in the veterinary industry and always have “what if” thoughts about my dog when I have to leave town. Amy made sure Digby had friends and plenty of playtime and even sent me fun updates. She also made sure he got his supplements and gave me a final update at pickup. The care, attention and responsibility that was given is the kind of gold-star pet sitting I look for in a great sitter. Definitely recommend!!”


“Ollie had a wonderful time staying with Anhelina! This was my cat's first time staying with someone else and she made him come out of his shy shell right away. She is communicative and so helpful and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”



“Martha and her entire family (her daughter is ADORABLE, by the way) were so wonderful!! Tons of pictures, extremely friendly, and they were so kind and flexible when my and my husband's flight schedules were constantly changing. Absolutely would recommend them again!”


“Samantha was amazing! She was easy to coordinate with and took great care of Benji. She sent daily updates which put me at ease while I was away. Would 10000% recommend her and will be having Benji stay there again in a few weeks”


“Mwajim and her partner were great! Sent me updates and pictures. It was a very last minute booking, she was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and I’m glad everything worked out! Thanks again!”


“My dogs had a wonderful time at McKenna's house! They got along great with Jaxx, and I could tell how happy they were from McKenna’s daily updates. Both of my dogs are seniors who need extra care and medication, and McKenna took good care of them. She was easy to communicate with and always attentive to their needs. Highly recommend!”


“This is FIRST time (for the past 5years since we started leaving our dog with dogsitter) that I’ve felt 100% comfortable and at peace about leaving my furbaby with someone. My dog was loved and cared for. She was clean! Sheila wiped her face/eyes tear stains everyday. We’d look at photos and videos and my family was like “Oh her face is clean, no tear stains.” Sheila has special sundays where my dog got lamb for the “meat of choice sunday”. She took her for walks in the woods which my dog always love to do. Thank you soo much Sheila. You are so warm, and kind, very easy to talk with. Thank you!!! Absolutely you’re the best by far!”


“Our two mini bernedoodles had a great time staying with Frina for a few days while we were out of town. We received several pictures and videos of the pups while we were away, which was great. Frina was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely book with her again.”


“Carolyn was great with my 6mo old puppy Kaito and communication throughout. She is very professional and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. She asked all the right questions to get to know Kaito before hand and I could tell this wasn’t just a way to make some extra money, but really something she takes seriously and cares about with the dogs she hosts.”


“Vivian’s a great dog-sitter. And so are her kids! We booked with her on somewhat short notice and she was very accommodating. She responds quickly to questions. We got pictures of a happy puppy every day…in their yard and at the nearby dog park. Looking forward to Lily staying with her family again next time we’re in the need.”


“Had a last minute trip and left my dog, Rocco, with Jeremy and Rylie over the weekend. They were absolutely fantastic! We met before the booking to make sure it was the right fit and gave me the confidence to leave my dog with them. I have an energetic dog so I was a little concerned but they sent constant photo updates daily and was very responsive. Rocco definitely received the VIP treatment and I think I found the perfect family to leave him with for future bookings. High recommend!”


“Kai and his family were wonderful! Not only did they check in frequently, but I could tell Kodiak was in a loving household that truly enjoyed his company. I will definitely be using Kai again with Rover!”



“Milana and Oleg will take great care of your pup! They are very loving and my dog always comes home happy! They are very responsive and send frequent updates and photos of your dog having fun.”


“Chelsea was wonderful with Gracie. She took her on two walks‼️ She sent pictures twice during the day❣️ Chelsea is kind, and was very connected to Gracie’s needs. I am thankful to have found such a caring sitter. Gracie met a new friend too; Chelsea’s Lulu. 🐾”
