“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”

“Margaret is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. Let me give some context: our utterly cute dog was adopted in 2020 (pandemic dog) with already deep fear and trauma. We think something happened when she was a puppy that caused deep fear such as abuse or some sort of trauma. Basically, she was afraid of everything and utterly shy. We worked with multiple trainers for almost two years and finally got her to a good place. We learned with time and patience she gets comfortable with strangers and once you’re in her pack. You are there for life. She loves playing with dogs but dog parks would get complicated because other dogs sometimes would teach bad habits or become aggressive (trainers also mentioned things can escalate and certain owners have no control). We also learned she is scared of certain breeds and afraid of cats. But she has an incredible memory and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. However, most people dog kennels, individuals have zero experience and patience. Given her memory, there are certain vets or dog daycares she will cry and try running away from if we are walking by. The true test of dog unhappiness. Fast forward to 2023, we’ve built trust and loyalty with our baby but the problem is she is still afraid of strangers and the unknown. She is al highly protective of her territory and will start barking (think a stranger walking up to me or a stranger entering our home). We’ve learned methods to make her feel safe and comfortable and ways strangers should approach. Basically it’s hard to find a dog sitter for her than the average dog. Most places are money machines and do not give her the time making her regress. Margaret is beyond words incredible. She knows how to work with all types of dogs including very shy dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges. She has ample experience and genuine care for animals. Also our dog is highly fearful of the breeds: huskies and German shepherds. Margaret has both and was able to get our dog comfortable going out on runs and walks with them. When we came to pick her up she was sad to go and saying bye to both Margaret, her partner John (another amazing human) and all their dogs. She loved all of them from Luma the chihuahua mix that made ours more social to the Willis and Jackson that made her confident to even Jackson who made her feel safe and like a queen. They even were flirting hahaha Never have we left our dog and received so many pictures and saw her so happy. She did not even want to leave when we picked her up and learned new commands in just one week like paw. Our dog even cried while we drove away and loved her new pack. Margaret said she fit right in. If Margaret and John open a doggie daycare, our pup would be there every day because we have never seen her so social and happy while remaining in a safe and controlled space. She was loved, fed like crazy (the way to her heart) but did not gain weight because of all the exercise, games and activities provided by this wonderful couple. Margaret is also an incredible trainer and has so much patience and love. I felt so easy on our holidays with my baby there, did not even think twice. We are beyond proud and since that week with Margaret she is a different dog. Sweeter, calmer and just more confident and trusting. Please open a daycare that this area so desperately needs. One thing- I recognize the price is expensive this was our biggest challenge but they are truly worth it!!”

“Excellent communication and updates! Was so happy to see Carmelo having a wonderful time - provided me with plenty of reassurance while I was gone. Carmelo looks forward to staying with Christopher again!”

“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”

“Martina is a wonderful host! She and her family were super caring for our dog, not only providing excellent care but also taking him out on adventures! She sent us daily updates, was very responsive to messages, and her kids were also very loving with our dog. I would definitely recommend her!”

Mia L.

“I had a great experience with this sitter! She was very understanding and flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates and quickly adjusted her schedule so I could bring my dog a day earlier. My dog is usually shy and takes time to warm up, so I was really happy to see how comfortable and happy he was when I picked him up. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much for being so kind, flexible, and taking such great care of my dog!”

“Can’t thank Farah and Tommy enough. Our pup Sofia is recovering from an injury that requires some special attention. Farah and Tommy were very accommodating and we could tell from the moment we met that they love having a pup in their home. So much so that we have already booked our second stay! Thank you! Marc & Helen”

“Rachel is SUCH an incredible cat sitter! I appreciate how she shares how Mowgli is interacting with her so much, he even laid on her chest this time and that's HUGE for him and shows how comfortable he is with her. She is so attuned and aware to him, I feel absolutely free to leave and know that he's in the best of hands. Thank you Rachel, you are INCREDIBLE!!!”

“Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!”

“Tina was professional and cared for Bruno as if he were her own. She even took him on a hike with her dog, Sharky. Bruno had a playmate and truly found a home away from home.”

Linnet K.

“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”
