“Holly and DK were wonderful! Extremely professional and warm. They took great care of our pup while we were gone for the week. Highly recommend their care.”
“10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!”
“Melodie is wonderful. She really got to know my dog and is great with grouping together similar temperment dogs at the same time.

Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”

Dhruvit watched my sweet Angel for the first time while I was out of town for the weekend. Things didn’t work out with the first two set of sitters I tried, so now I am always hesitant to leave her anywhere. I received pics/updates throughout her stay, which helped me to stay at ease. I can tell Angel had lots of fun exploring in the backyard! Thank you and your family very much for your kindness, we will be back! 😁
Bonnie was fantastic with Snoopy. He spent 5 nights and four days at her house. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. The daily photo updates were the best—they reassured me that my pup was safe and loved. I appreciate her husband help. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. 5 stars!
Cindy is a wonderful sitter & took such great care of my fur baby. My doggie is usually quite timid but was able to get settled comfortably at her house & enjoyed roaming around in her yard. Cindy sent updates & beautiful pictures throughout the day and is prompt with all correspondence. Highly recommended!
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog sitter, look no further than. Ellie, my mini Goldendoodle, just finished a 10 day stay and came home happy and well rested. The environment is dog friendly. Her own toy poodle and cat were incredibly friendly, and Ellie had a blast playing with her new furry friends. I especially loved the fenced-in backyard where dog could enjoy some supervised outdoor time together, and the regular walks were a great bonus that kept Ellie active and happy. Communications were excellent throughout the entire stay. I received regular photo updates, which allowed me and my family to enjoy our time away without worrying. From what I can tell, she is well experienced in dog care. I feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable and well-connected in the dog-owning community. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again whenever the opportunity arises!
From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!
Shreena took amazing care of Omy again! This time Omy stayed with her for an entire month, and everything was perfect. She treated him like her own, kept him happy and comfortable, and gave regular updates. At the end, she even gave him a bath which was such a nice touch — he came back super clean and fresh. Overall, we were very happy and will definitely book with her again!
Phoebe had a great time at Sivakumar's place. They took good care of her with lots of walks and playtime with their lovely golden retriever Imba. We received pictures and video updates during the day. Thank you so much Sivakumar for giving Phoebe a vacation of her own while we were away.
