LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!

Rachel was an excellent sitter for Rosie!! Her space is very dog friendly. Rosie has some anxiety, but she seemed very comfortable with Rachel. I appreciated Rachel’s daily updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Rachel as a sitter!

Lauren and Michael were wonderful! They watched one of our dogs before and he had a great time with them, they are so attentive and send lots of updates with pictures! They were great with our new dog too, who is toothless and wears belly bands. I will definitely be booking them again!

Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆

We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!

Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Our dog Belka was well taken care of for two weeks by Susie and Matt. Belka can be anxious about new dogs and new situations, but she seemed to settle in quickly - they have a great fenced backyard for dog introductions and lots of dog friendly cozy furniture. We received daily photos of Belka (and her fellow dog companions) on walks, lazing in the sun in the backyard, and hanging out on couches. Upon return she didn't even seem to resent us for being gone so long. Will definitely look into booking them again on our next trip out of town.

Brooke and her family were amazing with my dog, Ursa! We needed a dog sitter at short notice for a sick puppy. Brooke was amazing to work with - she provided great communication, took amazing care of Ursa, and definitely was flexible and accommodating under less than ideal circumstances. I was confident Ursa was being loved and treated like a member of the family!

I know Kai had the best time with Susie and Matt while his aging mom spent time in the hospital. He hadn't spent much time with other dogs in the past, and the small group of dogs (4 or 5) that he was with helped him gain a ton of confidence! He seems like a much more confident dog after 2 weeks with Matt and Susie. We got daily pics and it was clear that Kai was having the time of his life. I feel like he just had a vacation!

Megan stepped in with a late booking for us over a holiday weekend when my regular sitter had a late cancellation. She asked good questions prior to the stay, especially around managing my dogs minor leash reactivity. Megan was great at answering my questions while Nala was staying with her, and dealing with some new dietary sensitivities. I would definitely use her again when heading out of town.

Our dog doesn't really adjust to new people quickly, but she adjusted to Takenya right away. Takenya seemed to be a caring sitter, appeared to genuinely enjoy taking care of our dog and communicated well. We would recommend having Takenya care for your pets.
