“Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my baby Canelito felt safe and comfortable which made me so relieved. As soon as my fur baby met her his tail started wagging :) Leslie was attentive to his needs and provided timely updates that gave me a peace of mind. My first time using this app and booking a service, I would definitely recommend leaving your fur babies under Leslie’s care, such a sweet, caring, and kind sitter! Will be booking again in the near future :)”
15. Brian M.
“Brian is wonderful. He and his family were so accommodating to our shifting pick up times due to family circumstances. And they took such great care of our boy. His stay was over the holidays, and Brian was so thoughtful to get Indy a Christmas chew toy of his own. He also was so great and proactive about sending daily updates and photos - that hasn’t always been our experience with others. Such a great stay, and Indy will be happy to go back to his new friends when the occasion arises.”

19. Paula T.
“I was looking for a sitter, with dog(s), to bring my playful girl from time to time to play; her furry friend moved out and she was lonely. Found Paula! When I picked my girl up, she was happy like she wasn't for weeks! She even ate there!!! (which is our all times struggle...). Tired, and content, she went straight to sleep :) I already brought her again today, and she ran in and started playing, like she was there thousand times! :) Paula, her mom, husband and cute baby, they are all so nice, pleasant and welcoming, I am not surprised my girl feels so comfortable. And she has new, playful friend! And he has a yard! Happiness! :) We hope to be back every week for play time, and when I need to go somewhere without my dog for a few days, I will feel very comfortable leaving Senka there. So happy we found Paula!”
20. Joerg & Lake Z.
“Joerg & Lake were amazing again. Not only did they take excellent care of Riley while I was gone, they kept her an extra night when my flight home was delayed. Riley loves the attention she gets and being around their dog, Lizzie, is a treat.”
