1. Jennifer L.
“I cannot laud Jennifer’s care enough. Truly. We entrusted our brand new puppy of 10 week old to her, and she not only kept us updated regularly, but potty trained, taught her “gentle” and “wait,” and socialized her! Besides the 3-4 walks daily, Jennifer played with our pup with toys and provided lots of belly rubs. She is truly amazing!!!”
2. Sara B.
“Absolutely great experience! Sara provided attentive care, tailored to Lily's senior needs, ensuring she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, receiving updates and photos regularly, which eased any worries. Her little dog Soba is such a great companion, first time I saw Lily was cuddling with other dog. 🥹 they’re so cute together. 🥰 Highly recommend Sara.”
3. Karen M.
“We have a big rescue dog, Lupin, who is nervous around new people and leash reactive/frustrated because he wants to play with every dog he sees, and Karen was fantastic with him. It was very clear at our meet and greet at the park that she knew how to deal with such issues, and knew a lot about dogs and their behavoir. We did a one night trial run to get lupin used to them for longer boarding and they were very kind to him - we have already booked 2 more trips. At our meet and greet, her lovely pup was a marvelous calming influence on our 2 yr old.”
4. Renae S.
“Renae and her dog Kimchi are simply the best. Renae is very thoughtful and communicative. Kimchi is wonderful with other dogs. Much appreciated!”
5. Mai H.
“I highly recommend Mai for her exceptional care and dedication. She took fantastic care of my corgi during overnight stays, providing both engaging walks and thoughtful attention to detail. Her commitment and affection truly put my mind at ease, knowing my furry friend was in such good hands. She is my go to dog sitter!”
6. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chana (and Jake) were so fabulous! We’ve got a lovely pup who has special needs and they were so caring towards him. They followed all instructions and our pup was clearly happy during his stay! We also got lots of photos and updates along the way :). Definitely booking again soon! Highly recommend.”
7. Danielle M.
“Danielle treated our dog to more TLC and walks than we do ourselves, to be honest. Snowy loved her and she was a pleasure to work with. 5 paws up 🐕”
8. Pablo S.
“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”
9. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
10. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer took great care of my baby. She gave her lots of exercise and provided great updates and pictures. She was super flexible about pick up and drop off. Thanks Jennifer and Jordan!”
11. Anthony A.
“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”
12. Charlene M.
“Charlene was amazing! We had to find care for our dog on short notice, and Charlene was so accommodating. She took fantastic care of Lily and sent photo + video updates, which was very reassuring”
13. Stephanie M.
“Amazing caretakers! Sent a ton of updates (including pictures) and treated my dog great. Usually he is anxiously exhausted when I pick him up after a trip but today that wasn’t the case - goes to show how comfortable he was with Stephanie and her family. Looking forwarding to booking with them again!”
14. Quan W.
“Quan & Brandon took such good care of Mr. Woodly! He had such a great time on his mini vacation. I know Woodly would definitely want to stay with them again in the near future.”
15. Jeff & Beth K.
“5 stars all the way! Jeff and his family are wonderful! Our pup is shy and skittish of new people but Jeff and family quickly put her at ease. Even better, I got loads of picture updates. My pup was loved and cared for and had a great stay! My pup will definitely be back!”
16. Lilly R.
“Lilly did it again! I recently went on a long trip and Lilly stepped in to watch my little one. My boy Juice truly enjoys his stay with both Lilly and her husband. She does a great job of sending updates and keeping Juice in good health specially during this heatwave here in the Bay Area. Thank you again for being so trustworthy!”
17. Chad A.
“Chad is wonderful with my Benny. When I leave Benny in his care I know that Benny has a great time and is well looked after because he sends me picture/video updates. Benny is always wagging his tail when he sees Chad. I will continue to book Chad.”
18. Kelly L.
“Kelly is amazing! She is the best dog sitter we’ve encountered this far! Took care of our senior dog so well, great communication, super attentive, and went the extra mile. Kaci can’t wait to stay with her again. :)”
19. Jose A.
“Jose welcomed my Peaches into his home and helped her incorporate into the pack. Staying with Jose and other dogs did wonders for Peaches and helped her resource herding behaviors and improved her socializing behaviors with other dogs. Jose took excellent care of Peaches and was very responsive. I will certainly call on Jose again.”
20. Marco E.
“Marco was so amazing with Oreo! Oreo had a blast and really opened up to Marco. He came home very happy and we cannot thank you enough Marco for taking such amazing care our Oreo!😃”
