Sul was fantastic. Before I boarded Zoey, he offered to get on a quick phone and video call so I could see the space and feel comfortable. After I dropped Zoey off, he kept me updated every few hours with messages and photos. I’d highly recommend 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!

Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!

Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’ll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

Eddy watched our dogs, Henry and Albert, last minute and absolutely saved the day. He made the whole process super easy — handled pickup and drop-off, sent plenty of photo updates, and kept us in the loop the entire time. His communication was excellent and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Eddy truly loves what he does and treats every dog like his own. It’s rare to find someone that reliable and thoughtful, especially on short notice. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and would highly recommend Eddy to anyone looking for a sitter they can completely trust.

Lesley and her daughter Lillian were amazing! They took such wonderful care of Harry and he was so excited to stay with them. Their home was lovely and clean, and their yard was perfectly fenced in for this mischievous fence slipper under. They were incredibly thoughtful and followed our instructions perfectly. We also got some of the most adorable photos and videos we’ve ever seen of our pup. Thank you so much and we will definitely use them again soon!.

Tae is wonderful! Ella (our dog) was anxious at first, but Tae did a great job making her feel comfortable and loved. Tae was highly communicative, sent regular pictures and updates, and took Ella outside for walks and runs in the park regularly (and during a very cold stretch). Ella was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Tae!

Shelby was wonderful in taking care of my little dog WW! Shelby shared photos and status every day. She gave WW priority of attaching to her while she has her own 2 cats and 1 dog. Shelby was also very thoughtful and offered the opportunity to meet with her and her pets in her place to see comparability before committing to the request. I am very happy with Shelby’s help. Highly recommend her!
