“Yvette was so incredibly patient with our puppy, Korra. Korra unexpectedly got her first heat the day before coming to Yvette’s and we were so worried to leave Korra, but Yvette assured us that she would take care of her just like we would. Korra had an amazing time running around in her beautiful yard, snoozing on her deck, and going for long morning walks. Daily updates and photos eased our minds and we knew Korra was in good hands. If we weren’t moving cross country, Yvette would be the only dog sitter I’d book for my dogs.”
“Maureen was an absolutely wonderful caregiver to Rocky! She was extremely accommodating of us dropping him off later in the day and picking him up early. She sent us updates, even though he didn't stay with her for long and eased our worries! We would highly recommend!”
“Amazing 5/5 experience with Jose! He always responded super quickly and provided pictures! My dog was still a puppy when I left him so I was nervous about leaving him so young, but Jose helped a lot with the potty training! His other pups are super playful and defensively made the stay more fun for my pup. Would recommend and ask him to host again!”
“Honey was very comfortable with Jaimie during his almost 2 week stay. This was his second or third visit here. Jaimie is very responsive and sends regular updates on his food and activities. Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.”
“Jonathan and Rebecca, you are truly amazing my puppies 🐶 we’re so happy we kept communication at all times, you kept me informed and I felt so comfortable for the first time living my 3 months puppies with you’ll ! They enjoyed so much been with your dogs, and cat 🐈⬛!! lol 🤣!!! I know how had it is to care for puppies and you guys nailed it !!!! Thank you so much !!!!!”
“Margarita did an outstanding job taking care of our dog for a week. She’s extremely caring and treated our dog like part of her family. She communicated with me while we were traveling so I had regular updates and photos/videos. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again.”
“So grateful to have found Natalia to watch our dog Tino. This is our second time booking her this month . She continues to be responsive and trustworthy. Thanks again Natalia !!!!”
“My dogs had another wonderful stay with Lucas & Katherine, this time for two weeks. In fact my senior gal liked it there so much that she almost didn’t want to come back with me. I think for a pet parent that best and most positive sign that their furbabies were well cared for!!! They sent me lots of photos of my dogs snuggled under blankets or enjoying outdoor times! L & K are the best people and I feel like I can travel with so much less worry and guilt when my dogs are with them.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Working with Dhruvit and his family was an absolute pleasure. Genuinely nice people who allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our precious pups. We were sent pictures every day showing how well they were taken care of. We will definitely count on Dhruvit to take care of our pups again!”
“Jiamin and her husband are great hosts. She offered a meet and greet which was very helpful. Ringo is 16 and has some senior issues. She never wavered about his needs and in fact was more inquisitive about what he would need. She sends lots of pictures and videos. Her dog is very friendly and active and was a great companion for Ringo. When we picked him up he seemed very at ease and happy. We would definitely trust her to care for Ringo again!”
“Barbara , is very warm and understanding. I had to change the dates as my husband was suddenly hospitalized and she accommodated our request and supported us. Honey made new friends here. I only wish she communicated a bit more regarding Honey's stay with her. But overall she is very responsive and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“April was such a great sitter. She went above and beyond for our dog. We have a senior dog that takes medication and she was able to administer with no problems. We highly recommend April as a sitter. She was very attentive and caring. She also sent daily updates so we would be made aware of how our dog was doing. She did such an amazing job.”

Amazing!! I literally booked him 24 hours before my trip and he was able to accommodate and look after my dog. Sent me photos daily and was great with communication. My dog seemed well adjusted and came back home and seemed overall happy. Would absolutely book again and will continue to book him any time I go away!! Thanks so much Dhruvit!!
It was a pleasure to use Jiamin's services. She is compassionate, genuine and demonstrates a strong sense of care. She communicates clearly and provides a welcoming, pristine environment for my dog when I am away. I highly recommend her services and encourage others to book with confidence. Thanks Jiamin!!!
Kajal was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Zuko. She kindly accepted him on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Zuko can be quite picky with his food, but Kajal handled his needs with great care and made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well he was doing. I highly recommend Kajal to anyone looking for a responsible and thoughtful sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
this is the second extended stay my dog has had with Krystal and her family and she had a great time as always. Ruby always returns very content and well cared for and I get great pictures along the way of all the fun they’re having. Thank you so much Krystal for your care! Ruby loves your backyard!
She's very caring, patient, and experienced. Considering Tucker is very hyper, I'm glad that she was able to keep him entertained. He came back calm and rested which is unlike him! For a last minute booking, she had a reasonable price and we will definitely board Tucky here again! 😄✨️🐾
Yousuf took great care of Stella for 10 days and Stella had a wonderful time at his home. From the moment we walked Stella to their front door and dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. She came home happy, exercised and well took care of. Thank you for treating Stella like your own Yousuf, we will definitely ask you to watch Stella again.
I felt that Barbara was a responsible person with experience who had the proper setup for dogs, including a private backyard for them. Barbara sent me updates/pictures when I was away on vacation, which made me feel more at ease that Pepper was in good hands. I also appreciated that she let Pepper sleep in her bed; otherwise, I know that Pepper would have been very unhappy since this is what she is used to at home. She was also very prompt with the drop-off/pick-up time.
Sherry and her husband are absolutely incredible and true dog people. Sherry went above and beyond requesting notes on our dogs for everything you can imagine ahead of their visit as well as doing a meet and greet at their home. Their backyard is perfect with lots of space and both Sherry and her husband took their time ensuring everything was safe and secure within their fence! 10/10, our dogs left happy and well rested! Will be requesting time with Sherry again soon!
Senate is an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of my dog, Milo, treating him like family. Milo was happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed his time with Senate and her dog, Prince. Senate’s communication was excellent—I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind. Her love for animals truly shines, and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet. Thank you, Senate, for going above and beyond! Milo and I are so grateful! And he misses both you and Prince.
