“Alexis took Henry on short notice due to a personal emergency and immediately made him a member of her family. She regularly sent pictures showing him cuddled up and walking, and updates that eased my mind as I was trapped thousands of miles away by weather. She was flexible as I struggled with getting home, and just, generally, wonderful. Henry is reactive but she knew how to make him relax. So grateful.”

“Lisa was kind and caring! She did an excellent job of helping our senior pup feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. We’d definitely book with Lisa again in the future.”

“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”

“Betsy was great! She communicated effectively with me in advance of the sitting, including a meet and greet to ensure that it was a good fit for both of us. Additionally, she spent several hours with Winston one morning so that he would be familiar with her before he stayed with her for a week. While Winston was in her care, I received regular texts and photos to let me know how he was doing. Finally, when I picked him up, Winston was clearly comfortable with Betsy. I would highly recommend Betsy as a dog sitter and plan on using her again. Thank you Betsy!”

“Sunny loved spending the weekend with Amanda, Leif and their kids! They made Sunny feel right at home and probably gave him even more attention! Wonderful fenced in backyard too. Would definitely recommend!”

“Sally was just great with Flora. She shared a lot about how the day was going a Flora was super well taken care of! She has 2 cutes pups and they got along super well! Thank you so much!”

“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”

“McKenzie was attentive and caring towards our dog. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable while we were away. We appreciated the personalized care and photo updates she provided throughout our dog's stay.”

“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”

“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!”

“Erin was such a great sitter for our pup! She responded quickly, was flexible, and most importantly our dog had a safe and happy stay. I almost didn’t want to leave a review so I can keep her all to myself- ha. We will definitely book with Erin again!”

“Rachel took such good loving care of Bronx! I was nervous and sad leaving him with a sitter as this was my first time using Rover but she sent me photos during my trip and gave me updates so it put me at ease. I can tell she treated him as if he was her own dog. I will definitely trust Rachel to babysit Bronx again in the future!”

“Nicole and David (and the rest of their family) were absolutely amazing! They were able to take care of our Coop on super short notice and were super flexible and communicative! Cooper came back so happy and tired from all the love and playing and we can’t wait to have him go back! Thanks so much!”

“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”


“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”


“Lydia was great! We left our dog cedar with her for one week during a family vacation. She was extremely flexible when our travel plans changed and we needed to add another day. She took lots of pictures and drop-off / pick-up were easy.”

“My dog had an absolute blast with Susie! She did a wonderful job making sure she was comfortable before I left which I appreciated a ton & sent such fun picture updates! My dog had a blast & we will be booking them for all future needs! So thankful!”

“Takenya was very communicative and sent lots of photos. She was patient with Rocket who seemed to have possibly picked up on cats being present or something else with transitioning to his stay and he seemed to eventually calm down and adjust to the environment.”

“It was fairly last minute that we needed to find a sitter and Ellen was flexible and understanding our needs. She asked us thoughtful questions regarding our dog, his habits, and our preferences. Our dog had a great time with her and he looks forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Deborah did a great job. She sent pictures of cookie having fun. She was relaxed and happy when I got back. Its such a relief to leave my baby with some one that treats her like at home.”

I wish there were more stars to leave for Robert. He deserves about 1000+ gold stars. 1. He was very clear when he had questions regarding Elwood's 'weird' behavior(s) and accepting of Elwood's quirks. 2. Robert sent photos and texts frequently to update me on their adventures. 3. Robert introduced his 3 yo child to Elwood and it was copacetic. 4. Elwood went on many walks and had many sniffing experiences. 5. Elwood misses Robert. He is sad without his new friend. A huge thank you to Robert.

Super thankful that Joshua was able to take care of my dog last minute. They were super friendly and provided the right amount of updates as well for me to feel comfortable about leaving them. My dog is high energy and has anxiety issues, but Joshue was able to find a way to keep them calm, happy, occupied, and tuckered out at the time I picked them up. I would highly recommend and would book with them again 🙏🏻

Sarah was incredible with my dog Mochi! I am always a little apprehensive to send my large high energy dog to sitters without a fully fenced, but Sarah took Mochi on lots of fun adventures to get her energy out! She always sent photos daily which I appreciated. I could not recommend Sarah more!

Takenya wad absolutely amazing! She made my first experience boarding my babies so flawless and attentive. She always communicated, provided feedback and updates. She is provided so much love, attention and guidance. I would definitely be seeking her services in the near future! Thank you! ❤️💙🤎

This was Bronx’s second time staying with Rachel! When we picked him up and he saw that we were going into the car, he did not want to leave from her front lawn 😂 I can tell he has so much fun with her and I trust her to watch him again in the future. Thank you Rachel!

This was our second time boarding Maya with John and Joanna. We were so lucky to find an opening in their schedule and we didn’t hesitate to have Maya board with them. They are incredibly warm and loving people and you can tell they really care about your dog. They took our pup on walks and gave her lots of outside time and took such good care of her! They send us such great pictures and two videos of them feeding her cucumbers which made our hearts melt. We feel so safe and comfortable having them take care of our dog and know we will be back! :) thank you!!
