“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”


2. Asya E.


“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”


3. Evelyn R.

“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”


4. Elisa P.

“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”

“Faith and Tanner took amazing care of our pups. Levee was a great playmate, too! Loved receiving updates and photos throughout the week. Definitely will be rebooking!”


6. Sarah & Aaron B.

“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”


7. James S.

“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”


8. Frances B.

“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


9. Stephany B.

“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”




10. Thelma C.


“Ravioli spent 2 weeks with Thelma and came home happy and relaxed. Thelma is clearly a dog lover and has dedicated herself to taking wonderful care of everyone in her care. I will certainly be using her again!”


11. Marycarmen B.

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”


12. Christine M.

“Christine did everything we asked of her, and more! She was readily available for a “meet and greet” and able to adjust her schedule to our last minute request to keep our dog. She accommodated our senior (12 year old dog) in every way possible. She set up a separate eating space for him before we arrived. She took him on solo, short walks, lots of potty breaks in her large fenced in backyard, let him make himself at home on her sofa, gave him his daily meds AND sent photos to us throughout the four days he was with her. It was a perfect fit for our dog’s needs. I would recommend her and definitely use her again. Many thanks to Christine!”


13. Lisa & Matthew W.
