“McKenna was a wonderful sitter for my dog. She was flexible about drop off and pick up times, communicated right away, and offered my dog a fireworks-free stay on Mercer Island during 4th of July. I recommend her and would use her services again.”
“My dog had a good time at Sunmee and Patrick’s. He made good friend with their dog Winter. Sunmee, Patrick and their lovely son took good care of Nui and kept me updated with videos and pictures. I look forward to booking NUI’s next stay with them.”
“Elan was an exceptional doggie care giver for our Tonj. Tonji always returns home in good spirits. We got dates mixed up on the reservation while traveling out of country and Elan was flexible and kind. We will continue to book with Elan.”
“We are so thankful that our Koko was taken care of so well! Lots of great updates and pictures were provided during his 18 day stay. Communication was excellent throughout the process. We are so happy that Koko got a lot of exercise, play time and care.”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“No complaints at all, things are better than expected, Lena and her mom took good care of our golden, it was a 9 nights' stay, we got lots of communications/photos everyday, our golden returned to us safe and happy. I will definitely reuse Lena's service if possible.”
“Chris was a wonderful dog sitter for our high-energy pup. He sent regular updates and was clearly engaged and attuned with her needs over an extended 10-day stay. He was attentive to making sure she was well exercised and we really appreciated his care for our girl. We would highly recommend his services! Thank you, Chris!”
“Anhelina is the best cat sitter! She’s watched my cat, Simon, three times now, and every experience has been amazing. She sends me daily photo updates, is always quick to respond, and truly cares about Simon’s well-being. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Always a pleasure working with David! This time our pup was not eating as much as normal, so David went out of his way to cook food especially for our dog. Our pup came back happy, healthy, and tired out from all the good exercises activities.”
“Samantha was great with Smokey. She has 2 small friendly dogs to keep Smokey company and made him feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate Smokey and his coughing issue and I trusted her to give him his meds. He came back happy and comfortable so I would absolutely recommend Samantha!”
“In a word, Amy is amazing. I have two rescue dogs (Stella - 1 year and Wilbur - 3 years) that I've just adopted within the last month, and I was really nervous about leaving them so soon after adoption. At our meeting and greet, Stella and Wilbur were immediately comfortable with Amy, Tango and Uno, significantly reducing any concerns that I had in leaving them. Stella and Wilbur loved their time with Amy. They are acclimating to the world (both were kept outside in a pen) and can be very restless, particularly at night. Amy is so patient with them and is such a calming presence. Moreover, Tango and Uno really help to demonstrate normal, appropriate behaviors, especially a night. Amy is wonderful. I'm so happy I've found her!”
“Kai did an amazing job taking care of our dog for the week! He sent lots of videos and pictures every day, which made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We couldn’t have asked for better care — highly recommend!”
“My dogs had fun. This place is similar to a dog hotel where the dogs are allowed to roam around, better than any kennel! One of my dogs who could be aggressive towards others has done exceptionally well and she has hung out with other dogs as well. I would recommend this place!”
“Olivia is so amazing! She was super attentive, detail-oriented, and took such good care of our very attention-needy pup. I can tell my dog had the best time at Olivia’s. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”
“Laila, fit us in at the last minute and was absolutely wonderful! My chihuahua is a bit much for a lot of people and he has a very strong bond to me. He liked Laila right away and I was able to leave him with a peaceful heart. She sent me so many pictures and videos that I never had to wonder if he was being cared for and happy. She showed me without me ever having to ask. I have never picked him up from a sitter when he did not run to me and jump in the car ready to go home. But, when Laila brought him outside to go home he wanted to go on their usual walk and was genuinely sad to leave. 11 out of ten! He is so calm and happy I’m so glad Laila was able to watch him for me this weekend!”
“So thankful for wonderful dog sitters like Liz. I knew our labrador retriever, Callie, was in great hands when we dropped her off. Liz has a lovely home with a large fenced in backyard. She sent me frequent picture updates, and looked like she was having a ton of fun running around in the backyard, going on walks, and playing inside with toys. We came home to a very happy and content dog. Thanks Liz!”
“Wanqing was wonderful! She took care of my dog, Goldie, in my home for the afternoon. Goldie rarely lets anyone pick her up, but she was sitting in Wanqing's lap when I got home. Wanqing was arrived on time, actually early, was friendly and communicative during my time away. I definitely recommend Wanqing and will request her to dog sit Goldie again!”

Oksana took such good care of our little timid Kulfi and made sure to send photos throughout her stay. This was her very first boarding for more than 1 night and we felt reassured that she was in good hands while we were off getting married. We will absolutely use Oksana again for any trips we take. So grateful to have our new go-to caregiver!
We cannot thank cindy enough! She has been watching our dog for 16 days and she is absolute magic. Right from the start, Cindy was professional, punctual, incredibly attentive and followed our routine perfectly. She sent the best updates and photos, which completely puts our minds at ease while we are away. It is so clear that they genuinely care, and our dog absolutely adores her. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind, Cindy is the person!.
Our dogs were very well looked after by Kai and his family. We got daily photographs, videos and updates including any change in behavior which Kai thought we may be worried about. He was very responsive and the dogs looked really happy with him. Highly recommended!
Elise and James took excellent care of our dog, Buffy. Buffy felt comfortable with them right away and adjusted quickly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She even enjoyed some snuggles on Elise’s lap! They took her for a walk and sent us updates so we knew she was doing well while we were away during her first visit. Buffy is looking forward to her next visit!
MeiMei couldn't have been happier staying with Todd. She can be a nervous dog but she totally warmed to him. He has years of experience with dogs and gives off confident energy that is very calming. . Lots of cuddle time on the couch, and walks galore. Todd's dog, Honey, is aptly named: she is very, very sweet and tolerant.
Brian and his family were amazing hosts. Specifically, his wife was so welcoming and thorough, ensuring that they had all the information they needed for our pups and their family would have a great time together. We received regular consistent updates as well as pics showing how our two dogs were adjusting to spending time with them. We really appreciated that they have no other animals in the home, reducing any extra adjustments for our girls. We would definitely ask them again, if we needed overnight care.
Yini was great! She helped with two bookings that I needed which were canceled last minute. She was a huge help with taking care of Amaya. She sent tons of pictures and it was easy to see how happy Amaya was doing. I will definitely be reaching out for more help when Amaya needs to be taken care of.
English Bulldogge, Pumbaa, while I was away for work, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent regular updates and photos of their walks, which really put my mind at ease while I was traveling. Pumbaa was clearly well-loved and was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter!
