“Laura was an amazing pet sitter! She was so friendly and sweet, making it super easy to communicate with her. She went above and beyond to accommodate Appa’s needs, and I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable videos she sent. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Appa was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future—highly recommend! ☺️”
“He took great care of my dog and provided daily updates. I was comfortable he was in good hands. His husky mix is adorable and played well with my dog. I booked a 2nd stay.”
“Audrey & Isiah are simply the best. Competent, patient, and reassuring during the entire process. We were quite anxious leaving our fur baby alone in an unfamiliar new environment but Audrey went above and beyond to make sure Lyla (and us) were as comfortable as possible, providing us pics and updates during her visit. You can tell she is a genuine animal lover with a huge heart. We’ve already booked future dates with them!”
“Kristen was wonderful! Very communicative, very thorough, super kind, attentive, and my very anxious dog took to her right away which is the ultimate test. Really happy to have found Kristen!”
“Whitney was great! She sent me videos and pictures and it looked like my dog Suzie really enjoyed her stay and had fun! Whitney was also very flexible and open with pick up which worked out great. I would definitely use her again!”
“Ashley took amazing care of our anxious pup! She gave us regular updates along with photos and videos every day so we could have peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable during the entire stay.”
“Chasity was a great sitter for my dog Zeus! She took great care of him and even took him to Fetch Park. She also sent lots of updates and pictures which was much appreciated.”
“Monica was amazingly professional, kind and patient with my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I think we’ve found our new home away from home. 😊😊😊”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She sent frequent updates and photos, made sure she got plenty of exercise, and was clearly attentive the entire time. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Arnoldo is always greet ! Our dog loved him! Arnoldo is really top notch. Our dog has a lot of energy but Arnoldo knows all the right things to help keep our dog calm. He sends plenty of pictures and keeps us well informed every trip. We only use Arnoldo when we travel as we trust him whole heartily.”
“Jackie was fantastic with Jaiyé. She understood his personality, gave him plenty of attention, and respected when he wanted his own space. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made it easy to enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. Jaiyé came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“I will continue to book again and again with Wandie and Shawn! Their family takes such good care of my Dakota and she gets so excited as soon as we get to their home. She runs in like it’s her second home. They give daily updates with photos and I truly am not worried when she is with them!”
“Jennifer and Nicholas were wonderful with our two dogs! They kept us updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos. They even bathed them before pick up which was so nice! Would absolutely recommend them and will be using them again! Thank you!!”
“Deanna was lovely! Very friendly and Chance gravitated towards her without much resistance. He let her rub him instantly so I knew they would be fine. This was a great first sitter experience. I will be using Deanna in the future! She sent me cute pics of him and gave me updates on how he was. So helpful.”
“Omg she was phenomenal!!! I was a definite last minute and she made room for my baby!! She took great care of her! You can tell she loves animals and has a heart for them. Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Thank you to Aneya so much for stepping in at the last minute and taking such great care of Boss! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Boss got a little nervous since it was his first boarding but you went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Dolly! She had so much fun. We really appreciate you providing such a fun space with tons of toys and treats! She says thank you too!”
“So grateful for Chyanne! Even with a late notice, she was attentive, response, and accommodating. Her and her two sweet pups welcomed my baby girl into their homes and she had a blast!!”
“My dogs are safe and well cared for, and get to play with Anais’s dog when they are with her. One of my dogs requires medication and Anais is careful to keep it refrigerated until it’s used. I also appreciate how promptly Anais responds to texts. She is my go-to sitter!”
“Jesse was super communicative and took great care of my senior dog Punky. She’s not an easy one and she seemed to do well with different food and medicines needing to be given. A few things came up in her visit but he communicated what happened and gave me a few options of how we could handle which was nice. Will definitely keep Jesse as a favorite if I need to board my girl again.”

I was very nervous about leaving Spade Lee for the second time ever, but Nicole made me feel very reassured and confident and it spilled over into my pup. He came back tuckered out and happy and that’s all I can ask for! Book with her and she WILL take care of your babies!
Whitney is amazing! Our dog Scarlet loves her and her home. I have peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands. Whitney is very attentive and always keeps us posted via text message of video footage and photos of our girl having a good time. Thank you again for taking care of Scarlet
Jackie was fantastic with Jaiyé. She understood his personality, gave him plenty of attention, and respected when he wanted his own space. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made it easy to enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. Jaiyé came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Layla is fantastic. She watched our Frenchie while my wife and I were out of town for the weekend and took great care of the little creature! I can tell she takes a lot of pride in customizing her plan of care for each pet by studying the bio and asking all the right questions at the meet-and-greet. She has an awesome fenced-in backyard, which I know Cosmo loved. She also sent great photos and updates—very responsive and caring. We’d love for her to watch Cosmo again if she’ll have him. We highly recommend Layla to watch anyone’s pet!
This was our first time leaving our 3 pups with Edward and he did a wonderful job with them! He was quick to respond to communication and our dogs were happy and comfortable during their stay. We especially appreciate that Edward only takes on client at a time so our dogs got the same level of attention and focus they are used to at home.
Had a great experience with our dog sitters this weekend while they watched our dog Kendrick. Updates and photos were sent throughout the stay, and it was easy to tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. The setup for the dogs is really — a great front patio and a fenced backyard with plenty of space for Kendrick to be outside, relax, and enjoy himself. We appreciated knowing he was in a safe, caring environment and would definitely use them again.
Nora was absolutely exceptional! She cared for our senior dog Shadow for four days, while we were out of state. The experience couldn't have been better, from daily walks and fresh water, to thoughtful updates with photos and videos. She went above and beyond. Her home was clean, welcoming, and easy to access. Most importantly, Shadow adored her instantly. Seeing him happy and "smiling" at pickup, said it all! Nora is responsive, kind, and truly attentive. I will definitely be booking with her again.
Kery is so wonderful. I could tell right away that my pup was going to be well cared for! For how timid my dog can sometimes be, she warmed up to Kery so quickly! 🥰 Kery is diligent, a great communicator, so friendly, and all around the exact kind of person you would want to leave your dog with. Multiple daily updates and pictures. Will definitely be reaching out again for any future trips!
Brielle was incredible! My dog was immediately comfortable with her, and she went out of her way to make sure our dog’s first stay with her was perfect. She’s an excellent communicator and gave us plenty of updates on how she was doing. I never had any concerns the whole timeand I would absolutely leave her with Brielle again.
