“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”

“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!”

““Excellent”experience with Su. He gave daily updates with photos. Really cared about Koda and reached out when things came out. Highly recommended him to family and friends. Definitely use him again !! Thanks for taking good care of our dog.”

“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”

“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”

“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.”

“We had such a wonderful experience booking with Tomoe! Yoda was treated just like family and it’s safe to say he was right at home! Thank you for taking such great care of him and sharing such cute pictures and videos!”

“Going on vacation and knowing who to trust with our beloved furry family member is quite an intimidating prospect. Jing was everything we had wanted for our energetic, still-puppish dog; she has an easy manner and clear love for dogs. From the first moment, she immediately put us at ease and we knew our beloved pet would be in good hands. Indeed, all through our vacation we did not worry about the well-being of our Marvel and the pictures that Jing sent just confirmed our initial gut feelings. This was the first time we have had the pleasure of using Jing's services and it will not be the last. A plus for an us is that Jing also has dogs and small children that loved playing with our dog. We wholeheartedly recommend Jing!”

“Jess and her family were AMAZING with Jack and Mazie - long walks, alot of cuddles - both my dogs came home happy and it was clear they felt safe and comfortable. Thank you all!”

“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.”


“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”

“Kim was wonderful with our dog Ziggy. She treated him as if he was part of her household! I received beautiful photos of him playing with her dog, her walks in the woods, and of him sleeping. I definitely recommend Kim. She has a caring way with her own dogs and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with her and them. Kim made me (and Ziggy) feel feel cared for!”

“Kayla took amazing care of our pup, Pepper, over the Thanksgiving holiday. We could tell that Pep became a part of the family quickly and was loved. We also received lots of photo updates and we could tell Pep was living her best life with her new doggy pack. We are very grateful that Pep was well loved and cared for during the holiday!”

“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!”

“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”

“Alex provided a great place for my dogs to stay while my husband and I went on a trip. I knew our pups were in good hands with Alex looking after them. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our pups had attentive supervision, as well as a home and a yard to hang out in wbile we were gone. Alex sent photo and video updates, and he took care when introducing my dogs to the other dogs under his care. Thank you Alex!”

“Dana and Nia were very warm and welcoming upon meeting during drop-off. They provided daily updates, including Layla's well-being, how she settled right in and warmed up to them. When I picked Layla up from their house, it was abundantly clear how well cared for and happy she was. I would absolutely reccomend them for your dogsitting needs in the future.”


“Lincoln had a great time staying with Kira and her family! Lincoln was there for a long time and got lots of play and attention. Kira sent multiple updates daily so I knew he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Kira!”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”

Su did an incredible job with watching Sydney while I was overseas for a week! He sent daily updates about how she was doing and plenty of pictures too. He took her for multiple walks a day, kept her on a consistent routine, and spent a lot of quality time with her outside in the back yard. Syd looked so relaxed and calm every day of her stay, I could tell she felt safe and happy with Su. Would book again with him in a heartbeat!
