This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!

Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!

Kirsten and her partner took such great care of our dog. She gave us updates every day. She is professional and knowledgeable about taking care of animals, and catered to her specific needs. We like that she only hosted one dog at a time. We will definitely be bringing our dog to Kirsten again. :)

Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!

Stan was such a wonderful dog-sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog, Flora! He was thoughtful and conscientious, meeting with us beforehand and running through a list of questions about her specific needs and habits. Throughout our trip, he sent updates with photos that showed our dog living her best life. Flora got along so well with his two dogs and they all three took idyllic snowy walks together and enjoyed playing together in Stan’s gorgeously wooded yard. We feel lucky to have met Stan and found a new home away from home for Flora. We had such peace of mind white we were away out of the country. Flora was in great and loving hands.

Our 2 dogs stayed with Lauren for 6 nights and were very well taken care of. Lauren is prompt to respond and answer any questions, and is very nice and welcoming as well. Our dogs seemed to feel at home right away. Lauren's own dogs are also very sociable and friendly, so we were not at all hesitant to leave ours in her care. Great place!

She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. We loved getting updates and knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking with her again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!

Last year was my first time being away from my three-year-old dog since he was a puppy, so I was meticulous on finding someone I thought would keep my dog comfortable and happy while I was away. I saw Louka's profile and thought it sounded like the perfect fit. From the initial messaging, Louka was incredibly responsive, attentive, and on top of things. She also radiated warmth, kindness, positivity, gentleness, and patience. These qualities shined through during our Meet and Greet as well. She truly was the perfect person!  After dropping my dog off and arriving at the airport, I wondered if it would be too early to check in on him. It turned out that Louka had already sent a message and several pictures within the hour of dropping him off! I was able to see how quickly he had adjusted to being with her. She provided several updates on day one, and she made sure to message me immediately the next morning telling me about how his first night went. From that point on, I did not have a single worry about my dog. Whenever I checked in on him, it was simply because I missed him! She was wonderful about sending multiple unprompted daily updates with pictures and videos as well. With each update, I could tell how absolutely comfortable and happy my dog was in Louka's care. He ate, drank, went to the bathroom, played, cuddled, and slept - all without missing a beat! This made me happy!! I found Louka to be really soothing and reassuring during my entire trip. This year, I was lucky enough to be able to schedule with Louka again. One of the biggest takeaways from this time was the way she treated my dog as if he were her own, opening both her heart and home to him (as she lovingly put it, "my couch is his couch."). The other biggest takeaway was her generous flexibility with scheduling. No matter what she had going on, she made sure departing and reuniting with my dog went as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I am so grateful to have found the most trustworthy person to care for my dog, and I am glad that she chooses to be a caretaker! It suits her so well! Louka will continue to be my go-to caretaker for any future trips. She is amazing!

She responded quickly to our request. I highly recommend Ali.

Lola was well taken care of during her stay with Zachary and Cassandra.
