“I’m very happy with the service I received! My dog stayed with Siqin and her husband for a couple of days, and it was a great experience. Siqin was very kind and responsive—she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog clearly enjoyed her time with them and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Siqin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I can’t believe we got this lucky. Michael is only the nicest human on the planet. He and his family took the best care of our Brucey while we were on our 2.5-week trip to Ireland. Daily walks, daily pics, great guy, the best care. Only negative is that I thiiiiiink he stole my dog’s heart ♥️”
“Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!”
“Shan and Song Song were great! Chewie had a great time. They took great care of Chewie and provided great communication during his visit. We got lots of updates with pictures and videos. Chewie would be happy to stay with them again.”
“MinJun and Mi Ran took such great care of our furry baby! It was such a relief to know that he was in good hands and that they loved him as much as we love him! we will definitely be using them again! Thank you Minjun and Mi Ran!”
“Keira had a fantastic stay with Margaret and her pack! I was nervous to leave our 4mo German Shepherd pup with someone so soon after getting her, and for 10 days to boot. Margaret made me feel confident that she had it covered and Keira integrated nicely into their pack. I appreciate that Margaret had a consistent schedule, providing structure for Keira, and I received a steady stream of fun updates--photos, videos, anecdotes--that made me smile and put me at ease. I love that Keira became close with one of her dogs, Ranger, and I felt very good about her getting consistent socialization at her young age. Keira came back having learned the 'down' command, jumping up less frequently, and being more disciplined than when we left her. Such a relief to have a dependable dog guru available to care for her. Super grateful to Margaret and excited to be able to book her again for stays in the future.”
“Donna was a great host for Moppet. My dog was welcomed immediately upon entering Donna's home. Donna was also flexible with my pickup time as I had a flight delay due to weather. I would absolutely rebook with Donna next time.”
“Milo had another wonderful stay with Daniel and Emily! Daniel went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute changes and was incredibly quick to respond throughout. We truly appreciate their care and flexibility!”
“Jifu did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! He was attentive and caring, and his dog Joki was very friendly, making the experience even better. I loved receiving videos and pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. I definitely recommend him!”
“Super. So organized and detail oriented. Felt totally safe and happy that I could leave Eevee with someone so responsible and genuinely dog loving. Her home was clean and she takes this job seriously. Would definitely use again.”
“Olga, Igor and family took great care of our young-at-heart doggie! It was our first time using Rover and Olga was exceptionally kind, responsive and caring. Our doggie was made an immediate member of their family and ran off to play with their dog, Fox without a backward glance. They sent photos and updates. We really appreciated the extra touches too like putting an air tag on our doggie’s collar. We highly recommend Olga and Igor!! Thank you!!!”
“Benedict & Christina were really wonderful to have watch my little senior dog. When Benedict did the meet & greet, he was inquisitive about how to best care for Jean Luc, his routine & habits, etc. They sent great photos and updates, and were always quick to respond. Highly recommend & look forward to my next booking with them!”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog, Ocean! He stayed with them for a week, and they sent photos every day with updates on how he was doing and he had a great time :)”
“Nina and Leo took great care of Nana! We had a great meet and greet. While they were watching her they provided tons of photos and updates. She was in great hands! We will definitely request them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Liliane was extremely communicative with us for our entire trip and even before when we were figuring out logistics. She did a fabulous job taking care of our sensitive dog and really enjoyed having him around. We will definitely use her services again!!”
