“Whitney took incredible care of our girl, Luna, while we were out of town. She gave us regular snuggle updates and helped Luna feel safe and cared for in our absence.”

“Benji is like my child, so leaving him with someone is never an easy decision. I work from home and he is always with me, so what he needs most is someone’s presence and attention rather than constant activity. When I saw Mr. Su’s profile, I immediately felt he would be a great match for Benji’s nature, and I was right. He had occurred as a very trustworthy person to me immediately. I appreciated his communication from the start and the thoughtful questions about Benji’s routine. I also loved the photo updates and seeing that Benji was getting out and about. Mr. Su even added a bit more structure to Benji’s meals, which I really appreciated. He also accepted the booking on short notice when my other plans fell through, which meant a lot. Benji looked like himself in every update- relaxed and happy and it was clear he was in excellent hands. I’m extremely grateful to have found Mr. Su, and Benji will definitely be staying with him again. It’s a perfect setup for a dog who is used to having a work-from-home parent and thrives on attention, consistency, and a good routine.”


“We are so grateful for Kira!! Bailey is so excited the second we pull into her driveway. He is completely exhausted from all the running and playing with other dogs in her big backyard. It is such a relief to know he is loved and well cared for while we are away.”

“Eric is warm and caring and has a wonderful way with the dogs he cares for. Our dog Moose had trouble staying with another sitter but did great with Eric! We felt so comfortable leaving Moose with him.”

“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

“Tomoe was fantastic! Our shih tzu Dobby got so much love and attention, and Tomoe sent pictures, texts, and videos with updates on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Tomoe and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”

“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”

“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”

“Jess and her family were great! Our 11 pound Cavapoo (Molly) stayed with Jess for 7 nights while our family went on our first vacation without our beloved pup. I knew Molly was well cared for and happy (perhaps a bit too happy given her ambivalence to seeing me when I picked her up 🙂). I felt very comfortable leaving Molly with Jess and would certainly do so again. Jess was very responsive and sent me regular updates and pictures. I think Molly particularly enjoyed the freedom Jess allows the dogs in the house. For example, I sent Molly with her crate that she happily sleeps in at our home, but with Jess Molly just slept on the couch with the other dogs. Spoiled for sure!”

“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”

“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”

“Julie just watched my shihpoo Jasmine for the first visit. Jasmine and I recently relocated from Virginia to Massachusetts and she is experiencing severe separation anxiety. I had to make a trip out of town and Julie's expertise showed brilliantly. She was like a second mom to my precious pup and fulfilled my every hope and dream. A blessing indeed. Who can put a price on peace of mind?”

“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”
“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”

“Kayla is an awesome sitter! She gives daily updates! Much appreciated 🥹. Maribelle had so much fun staying playing with her pups. Will definitely come back ❤️”

“I contacted Jing last-minute for an overnight stay. She was super-responsive, and during the stay she sent me photos and updates. My dog Bobo seemed happy and got plenty of time out in the yard with her pooches. I would definitely send him there again if she is available!”

“Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”

Su took such good care of my sweet girl!! His home is a lovely space and is very welcoming for a visitor. He sent detailed updates with photos so I always knew my pup was doing great. He really seemed to care about her happiness and well-being! I am so grateful! I hope to use his services again!

Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.
