1. Devinder K.

“Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!”




2. DAMACIA J.

“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”


3. Laura N.
“"I can't say enough good things about Laura! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and cared for during my absence. Max had a blast and I can tell from the daily updates and pictures that they had the best time together. Highly recommend!”


4. Rhys K.

“I cannot say enough about Rhys’ care with my bear boi! Beautiful pictures capturing the walks and care back at home. Rhys made sure that bear always had fresh water after their walks and that the house was left in a safe and appropriate state. He even went above and beyond to bring the trash can back to the house after trash day! True animal lover and overall great person. I will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Kyla did a great job at the last minute. I had to run out of town for the night and was able to accommodate me same week. She did nice long walks that kept him sleep while I was gone. Will definitely use Kyla again”


9. Caitlin T.

“Caitlin is a responsible and loving dog owner. She has a beautiful German Shepherd named Ozzy. Caitlin promotes a healthy diet and daily exercise. I'm jealous sometimes because Ozzy goes to amazing parks with beautiful scenery to enjoy the outdoors. She will love and take care of your pet like her own and she loves dog kisses ?”

15. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”


16. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


17. Robin R.

“Robin was awesome! She communicated about her timing and was considerate about the heat and offered to play/snuggle instead of having a longer walk. Would definitely book her again!”


18. Melissa V.
About: I’m very patient with everything in general, and live to play with animals. I used to help my female pets give birth and that gave me more experience being careful with them I’m currently getting a par time work, and have more time free I would love to take care of your pets while I have the free time to give them attention and play with them or to take a walk I don’t have any dogs right now, but I have free time to help you to take care of yours whenever you need it. I can play with them or go for a good walk




19. Grace K.

“Grace was awesome - she helped take care of Josie and our plants! She updated us and kept us informed on how Josie was doing and it was nice to know she was being taken care of so well. Thanks Grace!”
