1. Manli G.

“I was a bit nervous about leaving Tati with a new person all day (she has separation anxiety) but she did great! Manli has the gift and Tati enjoyed the other dogs, walks, and fun environment! I'll definitely book her again :)”


2. Kellie T.

“Kellie took good care of Oreo. He quickly settled down on the first day which is rare, as he warms up slowly. Kellie also quickly adjusted the walking schedule per our request. Oreo was so happy every morning that he waggles his tail and jumps up and down at the first sight of Kellie.”


3. Wenxin S.

“Wenxin took wonderful care of Moscow! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear that Moscow received lots of attention and outdoor time. If we ever need a sitter again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her!”


4. Alex S.
“I am pleased to recommend Alex as an outstanding dog sitter. Over the course of several weeks, he has cared for my dog, Nala with exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. They follow all instructions meticulously, from administering medications to maintaining our dog’s usual routine. They also ensure that my dog receives ample physical activity and mental stimulation, which is crucial for her well-being. I trust Alex fully and can confidently say they are one of the most reliable and responsible sitters I have ever worked with.”


5. Josibel C.

“We had great experience with Josibel. She is very responsive, was able to accommodate my request to drop off my dog very early and was flexible with the pick up time. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. She lives in the area with lots of great places for walks. My dog was very happy after spending a day with Josibel.”


6. Stacey P.

“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Charlotte was great! She took great care of Charlie during the day, went on walks, and was very responsive. She has two young daughters who are gentle with dogs. Would definitely recommend Charlotte for anyone looking for a friendly and caring sitter!”


8. Janet H.

“Janet, Shasta and their family were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the meet and greet, and Juno made himself right at home. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep us informed, and we could tell Juno was having a blast just from the photos. They have an amazing yard and a beautiful house, and we felt very secure knowing Juno was in good hands. Would highly recommend and we would also live for Janet to look after Juno again. Thank you!”


9. Tillana P.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!! Tillana accommodated watching our pup very last minute and was an absolute joy to work with. She was exceptionally communicative, so kind, and took the very best care of our little guy. He came back exhausted, so happy, and very clearly missed Tillana and Mozzarella!”

“Ava was great with Oakley and extremely flexible with my ever changing schedule! Oakley seemed to really take to her right away! She sent me lots of pics :) and followed all instructions! Thank you Ava!”


11. Byung jae C.
“He’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to connect with immediately. I’ve seen dogs that are usually shy or hesitant warm up to him in no time, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands them. His care for pets goes beyond just the basics—he takes the time to make sure each dog or cat feels safe, loved, and happy. What sets him apart is his attention to detail and his natural ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs a lot of play and exercise or a more reserved cat that prefers quiet companionship, he knows exactly how to make them feel at ease. He’s incredibly reliable and thoughtful in everything he does, and I’ve always been impressed by how seriously he takes the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry family member as if they were his own, I can confidently say he’s the person for the job!”




12. Paula B.


“Paula is amazing! She has done such an incredible job with my little 3mo. old puppy. He is so excited to go over there and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing that he’s in such good hands every day he’s there. Beyond grateful that I found her!”


13. Seena K.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I provide frequent walks, lots of attention and supervision, and social interaction if desired. Plenty of outside time, or chill time inside, depending on you and your dog’s desires. I'm currently working from home with my girlfriend, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays anytime with a flexible schedule full of walks, outside and inside stimuli, and anything at your request. I have a large fenced deck with 0 animals in our house. I can easily house your dog in a comfortable environment, and provide any requests.


14. Benedict T.


“Benedict took Hobbes for doggy daycare during the heat wave. Benedict was a great communicator and responded quickly to messages. He made sure Hobbes got extra sniffs, pees, and wiggles out before it became too warm to be safe. Hobbes came home tired and happy. Thank you, Benedict!”


15. Florence T.

“Fantastic experience!! We could not be happier. Florence and Wen took care of our Fiona when I needed a medical procedure. They played with her, sent pictures and videos. We will book them again in a heartbeat!!! 💕♥️”

“Jeri is incredibly dependable and someone I fully trust to care for my dog. Whenever I’m away on vacation, I’m completely at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s excellent at communicating, consistently reliable, and reinforces the training and behavior I’ve worked hard to instill. I couldn’t ask for a better person watching my dog!”


20. Beni E.

“Beni is great! He sent me updates/photos, which helped put my mind at ease. My dog usually gets a bit anxious when I’m not around, but this time she seemed completely comfortable and happy upon my return.

Would happily recommend Beni and look forward to seeing him regularly on Tuesdays!”
