“Liam was great! Left my dog for the first time to go on vacation and he sent me multiple texts a day with pictures to assure me things were going smoothly. He was very flexible and accommodating. My dog loved him and will no doubt book with Liam again!”
“Katya was very easy to work with. I was supposed drop off Ophie at her place but i had injured my foot and she came to pick her up. Very accommodating. She lives two blocks from me so I’m sure to use her services often in the future!”
“Christina did an AMAZING job watching our puppy Toby. He has a lot of energy and she made sure he was fed, walked, and happy! We were gone for 10 nights and i got multiple pictures and videos. Christina remains our go-to sitter and we highly highly recommend her!”
“David and Phyllis were wonderful in accommodating our unique situation and went above and beyond to make sure Cassie felt comfortable in their home. Communication was excellent—not only with us but also with our friend who had been caring for Cassie during the month. They kept us well informed and made sure we received updates on how Cassie was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and the loving care they gave Cassie.”
“Bear and Bailee had another GREAT 😊 stay with Julianna!!! They were with her for 4 nights and she took really good care of them. I felt entirely comfortable leaving them with her! My pups can be a bit clingy at time and my Bear-Bear can be a little moody and he had a great time with her mom 😊. I am so grateful to have found Julianna. ♥️”
“I can tell my dog had a great time at Lauren’s! She gave me great updates throughout the stay and based on his demeanor when I picked him up I could tell he was very well cared for! I would definitely recommend Lauren as a sitter and use her again for a future trip!”
“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”
“Katie was awesome. She took such great care of our sweet girl. Cleo was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up quickly to Katie’s pack. She kept us up to date with pictures and checkins daily which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Katie!”
“Olivia was great at watching my dog Milo over an extended period of time. It was easy to setup a meet and greet where we did a walk with Milo. She made sure to keep me updated daily with photos and videos, and texts. She took really good care of Milo. I would absolutely recommend Olivia and to use her again in the future.”
“Zucc absolutely loves Jennifer. He gets excited whenever he sees her and that is the sign of an outstanding sitter. Jennifer is communicative, kind, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better sitter”
“Cindy was very flexible with scheduling and allowing Duke to have a meet and greet prior to our scheduled boarding. Cindy also shared photos and videos during the stay.”
“Su and her family did an amazing job taking care of Milo for our trip! I got daily updates and he looked like he was having a blast. I really appreciated how flexible they were with meet up times too. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch him!”
“I have a 15-year-old (almost completely blind, because of cataracts) Bichon who requires a bit of extra care. I call him Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I couldn't have asked for a more attentive, loving and masterful sitter than Patricia. I highly recommend her exceptional care.”
“Danielle is an absolute gem. She sent so many cute update pics knowing I was nervous to leave our girl behind, and she was so sweet and loving with our pup. Luna clearly already misses her! Could not recommend her enough”
“Diana was a wonderful dogsitter! She was extremely attentive to my dog’s needs and very communicative. She sends daily photos and updates. My dog had a great time with her!”
“Khai is a true cat whisperer, I'm glad I found her! I boarded my pet kitten Yuzu with Khai over Thanksgiving and was completely satisfied with the experience. Khai has a fully-equipped apartment to accommodate cats and Yuzu was visibly very comfortable, engaged and content during her stay. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, which made our time apart much more bearable. Khai is completely professional and will love your kitty like her own. I even received a parting gift when she delivered Yuzu back to me, which I felt was very thoughtful and kind. How do such nice people still exist? 100% would entrust with my cat again and I believe you will too. Thanks Khai!”

This is my second time using Helen's services for my dog and I'm just as pleased as the first time! As usual, Helen kept me updated on Reese's daily activities such as visiting the dog park, going for walks, even just exploring her backyard. She sent videos and pictures multiple times a day. I have no doubt that Reese's enjoys his time at her home, and that his day is full of enriching adventures! I'll continue to use Helen's services the next time we're out of town; it's obvious that any pet in her care will get everything they need and more!
Madison was fantastic with Snickers! I’ve used her boarding services before and she’s always communicative and sends cute photos and videos. This was my first time leaving him for 10 days and I was nervous with how he was going to do but she made him feel right at home again. Will definitely book again!
Another great stay with Maya! Bruin definitely wanted to stay and play 😂 Maya was so responsive and flexible when our travel plans changed a few times. She kept me updated the whole time and I knew Bruin was safe and in good hands. Will definitely book again. Thanks Maya!
Shakira was wonderful! She was communicative, sent many pictures, and kept my puppy safe, cozy, and entertained. I got many pictures of him on walks and cozy in Shakira's home while I was away and he returned to me happy and in high spirits. I will certainly be using her again. She is a great find!
