“Emily, Patrick, and Conan are such a wonderful family. This was our first time to leave our dog Coco with someone and we were a little worried at first if she would be ok without us, but they took such good care of our dog. Coco is picky about her food, but they made sure she ate properly, and it seems she had fun playing with Winter! Also, we thank Conan for playing with Coco! They also responded quickly and provided frequent updates, so we never had to worry about anything. We're really glad we met this family!”
“Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.”
“Danielle and Joy took amazing care of my little Nori, so much so that when we went to leave, Nori was giving them kisses. It takes her a while to warm up to new people, so that just exemplifies how well they did with her. The daily communication was excellent, and they took her on many adventures. They made our time away completely without worry!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of our dog while we were away for the week. We received walk updates, photos, and videos every day. Ouzo LOVES staying with Stephanie and gets lots of play time, cuddles and attention at her house. 10/10 amazing sitter.”

“Megan was amazing! She was super responsive, which allowed us to find care for our dog on our trip(!). She provided a perfect amount of updates and photos and made us feel really good about Reggie's care. She was flexible and drop off and had Reggie ready to go at pick up. We are so grateful for Megan, and I think Reggie wasn't actually ready to leave! Reggie will absolutely hang out with Megan again on his next trip to Seattle.”
