“Marissa and her family were wonderful with Hazel. She got lots of good care, love and attention. Hazel settled right into life with their family. Communication was excellent. Marissa was careful to ensure that Hazel got her medication. She showed incredible care and concern with a health issue that arose.”

“Christine took great care of my 3 dogs, and they were quite happy at her house. She sent updates and photos, and she was very responsive to our messages. She’s wonderful.”
“Kate kept my little old dog for a week taking really great care of him and sending me pictures of him while I was gone. He always comes home happy and relaxed which lets me know he’s happy with her. Kate is the first person I contact when I’m headed out of town.”
“Suzi was so great with our 16 year old, senior pup. We were nervous at first since we don’t often have others watch Roxy. Suzi was very patient with her and gave us regular updates and pictures, which we really enjoyed and appreciated. She even went out of her way to purchase additional wet food for Roxy (we sent her with wet and dry). We know Roxy enjoyed herself. Would highly recommend!”
“I have availed of Musa’s services for my dog many times now that I have lost count. That plus the fact that my dog drags me and runs up his walkway to his front door speaks for itself as to how nice he is and how much we like him and his service.”
“Tucker loves his time with Temisha and Max! Temisha sends a lot of pictures and videos and Tucker always has a big smile! I never worry about him when he’s with Temisha.”
“Sush was a great host for our cavapoo. Drop-offs and pick-ups were easy and convenient, and it felt like we were leaving our dog with a friend. Sush was responsive and sent updates throughout his visit. The other friends who stayed during his visit got along well with him.”
“My dog Milo had a good time staying in YJ's house.I love those pictures of Milo playing with another dog, wearing cute glasses, and eating yogurt. Thank you, YJ, for taking care of my dog while I was out of town!”
“Jennifer was so great with our dogs, Luna and Izzy! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and messages while we were away to let us know that our dogs were okay. Her son was so adorable and sweet with them as well! Our dogs came home looking happy and also smelling wonderful from her home. We hope we can use Jennifer again as a sitter, we loved her so much!”
“Sang and Hee Suk were so good to my girl! They took excellent care of her and sent so many pictures and cute updates to me. I could tell from the photos she was having a great time & it put me at ease while away.”

“Sarah was AWESOME! Friendly, efficient, accommodating last-minute timing requests. Sent me pictures and videos every day. Clearly loves animals. Will absolutely book her again!”
“Jenny was great! She communicated well and was very patient with my cat (very shy cat). She consistently provided updates and pictures about Batman as he became comfortable with his environment.
