“Bennie and Jennie were amazing in taking care of my 2 cats, Yoshi and Bubbles. They were great in sending updates, photos and videos that reassured me. So grateful that they made my cats comfortable in their home. I would definitely rebook with them when I need trustworthy sitters to take care of cats.”


“Donovan is really great. Super patient, spends a ton of time just enjoying being with our little Lady, and provides a genuine home feel. He sends frequent updates, and our 8-month golden doodle enjoyed it so much she didn’t want to leave!”



“Al is WONDERFUL! When we arrived at Al's home, he was waiting for us outside. Simon was so excited and, wiggling the whole way, ran right to him. During Simon's stay, I was updated multiple times a day with photos and notes about how things were going. Simon is a pretty energetic puppy, and Al was so positive about his behavior. On our return, Al and Simon were waiting for us out front. We were so grateful that Al and his lovely wife made Simon feel at home. Thank you SO much!”


“Joseph and Gina took amazing care of Rocco during his 9 days of boarding. They sent updates all week and went above and beyond to make sure he was eating even though he is a picky eater. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to have their dog feel like part of the family while you’re out of town.”


“Emily and Gabe were so great, they certainly are dog lovers! They took such great care of Tyson. They have a large backyard for running space and live in a great neighborhood for their daily walks. I received lots of pics and videos of their time together and could tell he was having a great time and not missing us much at all. Emily communicated with me the whole time and she did so many nice extra things to make sure Tyson's stay was an excellent one!”


“I am using Reena again and only use her to take care of my beloved pup, Daisy. She has a really lovely home with a backyard where the dogs can run and play. She treats Daisy as her own and keeps me up to date on her meals, walks and includes pictures/videos. I highly recommend Reena who is very affectionate and caring of your beloved pup.”


“Thavery was amazing with Ted, our labradoodle and took him on many walks and cared for him very well. I am very appreciative of all the pictures she sent over while I was away.”


“Patricia D. does an excellent job at watching my German Shepard! I love that she takes her on daily walks, sends photos and has other doggies to keep her company. I highly recommend her!”


“"A perfect fit" is how I'd describe Haemish's time with Robin. She made us both feel comfortable with her easy-going style and friendly manner. Haemish was treated as a member of the family in Robin's home. Robin even sent photos of Haemish during his 24-hour stay, which was greatly appreciated!!!”


“Karla and her husband took such wonderful care of my dog Lilo during her overnight stay! I appreciated their helpful communication and the effort they took to get to know Lilo and help her feel at home. Would highly recommend! :)”


“Our dogs had a WONDERFUL time with Rebecca and her husband. Plenty of walks and playful time with other dogs. She treated our dogs like they were hers. We would definitely use her again!”


“Nancy and Richard are so accommodating and friendly! We have a 7 year old Lagotto with anxiety and is somewhat difficult but they were very understanding and patient. We are so grateful for them! Thank you!”


“I needed a last minute sitter to watch my senior dog when I went out of state. I knew my dog was in good hands with Candi. I got constant updates to show how she was doing and my dog who has pretty bad separation anxiety didn't seem to want to leave when I came to pick her up! Would definitely leave her with Candi again in the future if need be.”



“My generally nervous dog had a great time at Ashley’s and came home looking very relaxed! She sent photo updates and was willing to give my dog her pill. Ashley was very accommodating and seems to really care for the dogs she watches. We would absolutely use her again next time we leave town!”


“Mai was really great and friendly. She sent us a ton of photos and a video or two. Really appreciate her sitting and would recommend and have her sit again.”


“Derek was amazing! My dog has bad anxiety but he adjusted really well with Derek’s care. He gave us notes about how Leo did at the end and sent pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely book with Derek again!”


“Monica is an absolute dream! She is so calm, positive and is amazing with our two big pit mixes. We even had a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure our dogs got along with her adorable dog Mammoth. She was super responsive throughout the whole process and sent pictures, videos and updates every few hours. Highly highly recommend Monica, and are already looking forward to our pups’ next stay with her!”


“Avancon did a fine job of taking care of my dog. He asked all the right questions about her habits and special needs. He provided lots of pictures which reassured me that my dog was adjusting well. I can highly recommend Avancon”


“Angie was great with our girl! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating with the meet & greet before and the pick up/drop off times. She took great care of our girl and kept us updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend & will definitely use again!”


“Yoshiko is very kind and caring. We have a cat and a dog that we want to board together. Yoshiko gave us updates daily and we are very comforted that both our furry babies are well cared for. Our cat normally is hostile towards strangers and new environments but he adjusted to Yoshiko very early on so we can tell he is comfortable with her. Will definitely use Yoshiko for our next pet boarding.”

Fantastic! They are so caring and patient with Ollie. I can’t recommend them enough. They are the best dog sitter ever!

Yoshiko took good care of Toto, it showed when we picked her up. She also communicated daily with photos and videos, which we appreciate. Highly recommended!

My dog Milo gives her two paws up! 🤩 She treated him like he was one of her own. Her dogs were well behaved and welcoming to Milo. No scratches or bites or concerns. I’ll be using Dianna again in the nearest future.

My dog, Arlo, stayed with Derek for over a week. I was given many picture and even some video updates that showed Arlo was in good hands the whole time. Quick to respond; would rebook.

We were so grateful that Marisela was able to take in our pup Bean last minute!! Bean came back so tired & happy that she napped the entire rest of the day. I loved all the updates & appreciate the flexibility that Marisela gave us with timing. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for Bean and Artie to play again :)

Nelson and Nancy continue to come through for us. We were really stretched thin when a family member unexpectedly ended up in the hospital. They were so wonderful, understanding, and flexible with our ever-changing schedule that happens in these cases. They removed so much stress from an already intense situation and we can't thank them enough!

To say that the boys love her would be an understatement. Yep, the 2 dogs are almost obsessed with her. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that not only are our special family members safe, they are beyond happy as well

Holly provided me with perfect service. She took care of my dog for a week and kept in touch day/night. We went out of her way for me and I would recommend her for pet sitting. My dog has separation anxiety and because Holly took such good care of her my dog made it through the week and was not full of anxiety when I got home . Thank you Holly

Hector was an amazing pet sitter. He often reassured me on what my puppy, Tsuki, was doing each day. He would send multiple pictures and videos of her walks and when she would eat and drink, and even play. I would most definitely choose Hector in a heartbeat again for future stays.

Anastasiia was incredible! Last minute booking for my 6 month old pup Bowie. She stayed in conact and even sent pictures and a video. I will be using her again for when my family vacations. Great communicator and her love of animals is apparent. 6 STAR RATING

Alison was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucas! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, and even let him sleep next to her for comfort. It was clear Lucas felt safe and loved the entire time. Alison was so kind, patient, and attentive, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’m beyond grateful and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter!

Shortly after I dropped Zenji off for his second stay with Tommy, Zenji injured his dew claw. Tommy immediately contacted me and sent photos and asked how I would like to address the issue. It was a scary situation and I felt badly that Tommy had to handle this extra care. However, I appreciated that I could trust Tommy to assess the situation as a non-emergency. He kept me updated on Zenji's condition and had prompt responses to my texts. Tommy also adhered to Zenji's detailed medication schedule. I really appreciate Tommy's professionalism and reliability. I highly recommend him as a sitter!

Angie was great with our girl! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating with the meet & greet before and the pick up/drop off times. She took great care of our girl and kept us updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend & will definitely use again!

Arianne was a wonderful sitter for my senior pup! This was our 1st time with Arianne and she made my pup feel so warm and comfortable. I received daily updates on their day together, so we felt connected and at ease. Thank you again Arianne for the tender loving care you gave her! We’ll see you again soon.
This is our second time boarding our Golden retriever Chutney with Kiel. Kiel is easy to communicate with and takes chutney on fun adventures like hikes and walks on the boardwalk. Chutney seemed well exercised and happy on his return home which is all we can hope for! We will definitely board with Kiel again.

We have used Dalila so many times because we know our puppy has the best time with her! 100% recommend 💛

I needed help last minute, Rachel & Kevin were able to accommodate. Rachel dedicated the time to do a meet and greet prior to booking. During Jerry’s stay, I got updates with cute pictures and videos. I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thank you Rachel & Kevin for taking care of Jerry!❤️

Naomy was great. She left detailed messages and lots of cute pictures of our boy. He seemed to have had a blast.

Nozima was amazing with Simba! My brother was very nervous to leave him alone as they are together 24/7 and we are so thankful we found Nozima because she was truly AMAZING. Truly so caring and kind - she provided constant updates via photo and text and Simba looked so happy we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home. Thank you for everything Nozima!!!

Joey took excellent care of my two pups while we were gone for 5 nights. Unfortunately, my dogs don't make the best first impression and can display aggressive behaviors, so I always get nervous when they meet new people. Before booking, Joey took the time to answer all of my questions over the phone and to meet us in his home to make sure we felt comfortable. When my dogs first met Joey, I was surprised that they immediately took to him, his partner, and his roommate and were even comfortable being picked up by him. Joey is truly a dog whisperer! Right away, I felt at ease with leaving my dogs in Joey's hands. His home is very spacious, he asked great questions related to their care, he was flexible about the pickup and drop-off times, he along with everyone in the home is clearly a dog lover, and he kept me reassured with photos and updates. I would definitely book with Joey again. Highly recommend!!
