1. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.”
2. Alexandra H.
“This was an amazing choice for us and we will absolutely reach out again if we need a dog sitter. The dogs clearly had a great time and I'm so glad Hazel was around so they had an extra pal to hangout with. Communicating was easy and we felt well updated (and we loved the photos of the doggos)”
3. Jaden B.
“Jaden and his girlfriend were awesome with my dog Maya while I was out of town! I always have a hard time leaving her but they put my mind at ease by sending me lots of pictures and updates during her stay. I could tell she was happy and well taken care of and I would definitely use them again in the future!”
4. Mackenzie W.
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”

6. Lisa S.
“Sadie enjoyed her stay with Lisa so much, I'm not sure she wanted to come home! She even had her own Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay. Thanks!”

8. Elizabeth W.
“Elizabeth is very sweet and knowledgeable about dog behavior. We were welcomed by her and her two pups on leash, and the interaction worked well! She sent many photos and video updates. Elizabeth even brushed him before I picked him up.”
9. Alice b.
“Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!”
10. Cory G.
“Cory did great with our pups! We were gone for 10 days so we were a little worried but the dogs did great with Cory. They got a lot of walks in and when we picked them up they were as happy as can be! Would definitely rebook with Cory.”
11. Madison P.
“Madison is the best!! She took such good care of my dog and always takes tons of pictures and videos. So thankful for her and her dogs to keep my own pup company for the weekend!”
12. Jessica V.
“We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.”
13. Ashley G.
“Ashley was great! I did not worry about our dog Harley while we were gone. Ashley answered me immediately when I checked in. I will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her.”
14. Maricela V.
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
15. Ashly B.
“Great communication; Coco was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Ashly's dog, Tony, is very patient and well-mannered - great for my skittish pup.”
16. Heather H.
“Heather and her family were great for Tank! Having a 10 month old puppy can be a lot sometimes, especially for a longer stay lol. Heather and Tank did a lot together and he was able to meet and see lots of new things! We couldn't be happier knowing he was in good hands and with someone looking out for him, having photo sessions and making sure he is safe and has lots of fun! We appreciated that she would send us photos and videos of our guy while we were away. Thank you so much Heather!!!”
17. Joseph L.
“I have had the pleasure of having Joseph watch my Golden Retriever, Snax, many times, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his services. He is always providing me with regular check-ins and photos that put my mind at ease while I am out of town! Joseph is extremely reliable as well! Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or a longer stay, he always follows through! He’s ranged from letting Snax out for short periods to taking him into his home for an extended stay while we traveled to Italy. It’s very clear that our dog is comfortable and well-cared for, regardless of the duration of the stay! Another great thing about Joseph is that he is flexible. He has worked with my husband & I on various drop off and pickup arrangements, accommodating our schedule with ease. Overall, I absolutely recommend Joseph’s services to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”
18. Lucia R.
“Lucia took great care of my pups! They went on walks and I was sent several pics throughout their stay. She was super flexible with drop off and pick up, which was so helpful!”
19. Scott S.
“Our yellow lab (who has lots of energy and is very social) seems to have thoroughly enjoyed her time with Scott while we were out of town. We appreciated receiving regular photos of her having a good time playing with other dogs. We'd be happy to use Scott again.”
20. Christy & Erkam N.
“They were so kind and loving with our small dog. Great communication and sent pics regularly. Would take our dog there again and highly recommend.”
