“Megan took care of Poppy for the first time and I really appreciated the communication, punctuality, and care. My dog is really shy, and Megan gave Poppy tome to get accustomed to her. When I picked Poppy up, I could tell she was calm and had a great day.”

Highly recommend!”
“My boy Schnoops, almost 2 yr old German Shepherd Dog needed to be looked after for a couple of hours. He was recently neutered and was very anxious being scared from everyone and mean. I needed someone experienced with reactive dogs and my man Hoiping was absolutely phenomenal. When my dog first met him, he was scared and lunged at him but he handled it perfectly knew his way with dogs, specially reactive dogs. In just 5-6 hours they did so many things, went to a cafe, playgrounds, walked everywhere, chilled at the home, visited WTS, did drills, met other dogs and so much more. He updated me atleast every 10 minutes with what they were doing, sending messages, photos and videos. He even went above and beyond, cleaned up and disinfected his spots from the procedures. I can’t recommend Hoiping enough, he will look after your fur baby plus he will teach them a thing or two. Much appreciated brotha!”
“Nicole was so sweet. Champ was very happy.”
“Minako is so great with my dog. He is always excited to see her when she comes to pick him up. She sends great pictures and I know he's having fun aka getting all his energy out. She is quick to respond to booking requests and is very accommodating if I have to work a little late. Would highly recommend!”
“We left our puppy with Sarah for several days during our NYC trip. Would highly recommend her for dog sitting/boarding needs in the city. We were worried about bringing our dog to NYC and having Sarah take care of her made it very convenient. Sarah was flexible and communicative. It was easy to coordinate drop-offs and pickups. She sent a lot of pic/video updates which was very nice!”
