1. Samuel P.
“Samuel and his wife are so sweet with Kylo! Samuel sends many updates throughout the day so we can see how our fur baby is doing. We regularly book Kylo for daycare with Samuel and Kylo always enjoys his stay and is super comfortable which makes us feel at ease when we can’t be there.”
2. Christopher D.
“This was a great experience for both us and Mocha from the beginning. Christopher was very responsive --and even in our brief exchange I could tell that he was kind. He answered my questions and was communicative and upfront. Our dog can be a little reactive, so I let him know that. When he arrived to pick her up, he was so kind, calm and gentle and she, in turn responded very well to him. She was a little reluctant to leave us, but Christopher sent and update and photo saying that they were having fun together, so we felt at ease the whole evening knowing that she was in good hands. He was exactly on time for pick up and drop off and was so nice about everything. Overall, it was an excellent!”
3. Olga E.

Everything went perfectly smoothly. Olga was attentive and caring. We also received some cute pictures of the day. Thank you!”

9. Candi V.
“Candi is amazing! Our old Jake (100pound golden retriever) was so well taken care of. Candi asked all the right questions in order to know anything she needed to know to properly care for our doggie and she sent us pictures as well! From the moment I dropped Jake off I could tell he was already at ease in Candi’s home and I could tell he felt welcomed. When I picked Jake up he looked so calm and perfect! I always struggled when dropping him off with others because he would always gain too much weight (either he would get fed too much or not walk at all!) instead this time, he was absolutely perfect! Thank you Candi for caring so well for Jake!!”

“Big shoutout to Sid – the absolute best dog sitter! Left my boy with him during my Hawaii trip, and it was a walk in the park. Communication was spot-on. Sid sent me daily photo and video updates, keeping me in the loop every step of the way. Watching my dog and Sid's pup having a blast in the yard at Sid's place was heartwarming. He even took my boy on a hike after checking with me first. Super thoughtful!The pick-up and drop-off were a breeze – zero stress, no fuss. If you're after a reliable, easygoing dog sitter who genuinely loves his job, Sid's the one. Five stars without a doubt!”

20. FANG L.
“I cannot recommend Fang highly enough as a dog walker. She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my large poodle, ensuring he always had a great time on their walks. Fang’s flexibility with scheduling was a lifesaver for me, and her dedication to my dog’s well-being was evident in every interaction. The numerous photos she sent during their walks provided me with peace of mind and joy, knowing my poodle was in excellent hands. Fang’s commitment and love for animals truly shine through in her work.”
