1. Victoria & Rishi S.
“Victoria & Rishi did an amazing job with our dog - they sent me frequent photos and videos, which really helped when I was missing my pup the week we were away on vacation. They made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog for an entire week, which is all you can ask for when you're thousands of miles away. They sent her home with a cute neck scarf and gave her lots of cuddles - I will definitely use their boarding services again in the future! :)”

“Brianna was great! I was able to rest assured that my pup was secure and well taken care of while I was out of town and not stuck in a crate/kennel with 15 other dogs. She was very responsive, professional, and kind. I would definitely recommend her or use her again for boarding in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!”

“Okay, Alice was ABOVE and BEYOND amazing. Many things about her truly make her 10/5 stars. 1st, she accepted my booking ONE day before I needed a sitter (2nd) THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS! 3rd, met up with me at my place for a meet & greet the DAY OF my listing, picked up & dropped off my dog since my car brokedown not too long ago, AND happily dropped him off later than expected because of a flight issue. I am beyond grateful to have found her! She treated my dog like her own, sent pictures often & would make sure I knew he was being well taken care of at all times. Her dog was SUPER sweet & very sweet to my dog. My dog isn’t huge fans of other dogs but got along amazing with hers. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

15. Paul R.
“I should be leaving so many reviews for Paul for the numerous bookings. He's a trusted member of the pup family and has helped us out so many times. We feel so good about leaving our pup with Paul and his dogs. She loves going to visit him. He sends pics and updates, handles all our travel changes with grace and helps out picking her up and dropping off. She returns a happy healthy pup - and we're grateful. And, he's a lovely guy that we're so happy to know.”

“Cari has 5 star reviews for a reason! She loves your pet so you can travel without worrying.

18. Bre T.
“I had a great experience with Bre as my dog sitter. When I picked up Nola, she was happy to see me, but what really stood out was that Nola wanted to go back into Bre’s house—showing just how comfortable and cared for she felt. Bre is incredibly friendly and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I felt confident leaving Nola in her care, and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
