“Malia was fantastic! She is a very good communicator and super responsible. She sent pictures of my pups while I was away, which was great. One of my dogs is very nervous around new people but she quickly warmed up to Malia. She left my place just as she'd found it. I highly recommend Malia!!”

Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”

9. Dennis H.
“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”
10. Qishu Z.
“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”
11. Melina B.
“Melina was wonderful taking care of my special needs chihuahua. She sent me video and picture updates every day, several times a day (which I so appreciated). She made sure my dog took her medications on time and was thoughtful about all of her needs. She was responsive and so easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be utilizing Melina’s services again.”

“Tony was great. We left our two dogs in his care for one week, and came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and a tidy house. He was responsive when I checked in, and sent photos while we were on our trip. I would definitely use Tony again in the future for dog-sitting.”
