“Ashley was amazing! She took care of my two untrained puppies for almost a week. She sent updates everyday and was super communicative. I highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs. Very professional and my puppies came back better trained than when I dropped them off! I am so lucky I found her <3”


“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! She was responsive, flexible, easy to coordinate with, and she sent us very sweet updates and photos during Maggie’s stay. Her dog Milo was an equally gracious host and the dogs got along wonderfully. We will definitely book again. :)”


“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”


“Whitney is amazing! Super easy to communicate with, accommodating with our schedules for drop off/pick up and very friendly. Our dog tried to follow her out when she was leaving!! Will definitely work with her again. ♥️”


“She took good care of my dog and send me pictures and updates. and her two dogs were very sweet and got along well with my girl. I had a bit of a change of plans which affected the pick up time back and forth but Jocelyn made it work and accommodated me perfectly which I am grateful for.”


“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”


“Beverly is an outstanding sitter! Her communication was top notch, she has a warm and welcoming energy, and our dog came home tired and happy. I hope she’ll be available the next time we leave town! 🤞🏼”


“I needed a dogsitter on short notice and am so thankful to have found Eve. She was incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and professional, and from the moment we met at the meet-and-greet, I knew it was a great match. My whippet can be "cat-like" and aloof, but she responded to Eve like a lifelong friend. We also got a bunch of photos and updates all weekend, which were so appreciated. Your dog is in loving and capable hands with Eve!”


“Christine and Steven took such good care of our dog while we were away. We were out of town on our honeymoon and didn’t have any stress about whether or not he was in good hands. We got daily photos and brief updates that made a huge difference. We will definitely be using them again!”


“Boogie loved his stay with Trish and Kevin! We are so very thankful for them. They provided great updates and photos for us, we would definitely recommend them and Boogie can’t wait for his next stay. Thanks so much Trish and Kevin!”



“Holly and her whole family went above and beyond for my dog's extended stay with them. Updates were frequent, and she was returned happy and healthy to me. Very pleased with our experience - would highly recommend.”


“We couldn’t be more grateful to Katherine for taking care of Smokey like he was her own! She accepted our last-minute request without hesitation, which truly saved us. Throughout Smokey’s stay, Katherine kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind. She took him on walks around the neighborhood, and it was clear Smokey felt comfortable and happy in her care. Katherine has been amazing, and we will definitely be returning to her in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”


“Roger That had a wonderful time with Gabe and Greta! Gabe was extremely accommodating and communicative. I got lots of great pictures showing a very happy Roger That! On our walk today, Roger That saw Gabe and Greta, and ran to see them! Tonight he tried to enter Gabe's building to see them again! It's wonderful knowing Roger That has somewhere he enjoys staying when I can't be with him. Thank you Gabe and Greta and cat!”


“Dana was wonderful with our high-energy, 2-yr old husky shepherd mix. Our pup came home tuckered and happy; she loved all of the long walks they went on! The photo updates were lovely to receive while we were away. Great communication and we appreciated Dana’s flexibility while coordinating. 10/10 would book her again!”


“Zach communicated and our dog enjoyed his time. It was a longer stay than usual and we felt our Doug was well taken care of and lived while we were gone. Would recommend him to others. He truly cares about the dogs under his care”
