1. Karen F.

“Great experience with Karen! Daisy has done two days of day care with Karen and each one has been wonderful. Daisy played with other dogs and was happy and relaxed each time we picked her up. Karen clearly loves dogs and knows how to look after them. Will definitely ask to book again!”


2. Sadie & Szymon G.

“Sadie and Szymon did a phenomenal job with my Otter! They went on a long walk, and Otter got to play with their dogs in their beautiful yard! They treated Otter like one of their own, and I highly recommend them!”


3. Ashley N.


“Ashley did an excellent job taking great care of our dog. Thanks to her we were able to take our kids to the children's museum which is close by. I could tell our dog was in caring hands. I recommend her highly!”


4. Hannah M.

“I had a busy 17 hour day, and with my husband traveling Tobi would have been in his kennel with a short 30 min window (when I needed to come home to change) to stretch his legs and potty. Hannah was a life saver and agreed to watch Tobi for a few hours at her place, on a dimes notice. She noticed Tobi’s anxious behavior and provided play and walks to get him comfortable. We figured that her small apartment may have been too small of a space for Tobi (I live in a single family home with a yard), and as a solution she did offer her dog walking services where she’d pick Tobi up from my house for walks in the future. I appreciate the feedback, and will highly consider that as an option. Thank you Hannah for providing the support needed for Tobi (and my peace of mind)!”


5. Jude L.
“Jude is a fantastic dog owner and you’d be lucky to have your pup stay with him! His house is clean and the best part is the big fenced in back yard! There is plenty of room to run around and play while being safe and secure.”


6. Leslie M.
“I can’t recommend Leslie enough as a pet sitter! She’s taken care of my cats many times, from quick check-ins to multi-day care, and she’s always been incredibly reliable. She follows feeding instructions to a tee, shows up on time, and actually takes the time to play and engage with them, not just pop in and out. Her communication is fantastic, and I always feel totally at ease knowing she’s watching them. Thanks to her, I can actually relax when I’m away instead of stressing about my kitties 😸”


7. Cecelia S.
“Cecelia considers her pet in the highest regard. He is family! She has years of experience with doggies. I always check with her before the vet if I have any issues with my own dog. Cecelia knows hows to handle dogs in a very kind way, while keeping them safe by setting boundries for them. She watches the animal to determine what they know about their schedule and home. Then she follows the dogs needs, and respects the dog as an individual. Cecelia is trustworthy!”


8. Ashley H.

“My pups loved going to Ashley’s! We had a last minute booking and I am very grateful to have found her. One of my pups is skittish and she took to her right away. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and they love her. Thank you again Ashley!”


9. Katelyn D.

“Katelyn was super friendly and helpful. My dog loved it at her home.”


10. Mary M.

“Mary watches my dog every time I’m away from home. About 5 weeks per year. My dog loves her and is always well taken care of (better than by me). I know for a fact that Mary walks about 5 miles a day so dogs are in heaven. She loves on a quiet street with almost no cars so it is very safe. My dog gets to walk to the beach everyday when staying with Mary! Highly recommended.”


11. Sheila R.
“Piper had an awesome day with Sheila and Dakota!! She loved playtime and her walks and we loved getting photos of her day! Sheila is a great dog sitter, very attentive and had Piper's best interests in mind. Her communications were very clear and prompt. We definitely plan to use her again and would recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you so much!!”


12. Martha S.

“We were coming from out of town and our puppy gets a bit anxious while alone. Martha did a Fantastic job taking care of him and playing all day with him - he was exhausted both days and passed out as soon as he got home! Thanks again for the great time!”


13. Kiley N.

“Kiley was so great from the moment I met her. She asked all sorts of questions about Lemon which helped me feel comfortable leaving them together. She sent lots of updates through the day and took her on plenty of walks. Thanks SO much!”


14. Karen K.

“Karen was kind and very easy going! Our dog is very nervous and he was calm and relaxed by the time we returned. Karen and her partner were very nice. She made our Christmas Eve dinner possible. Highly recommend!”


15. Adelle M.
“Adelle has a big dog of her own and is so good to him! Call her she will be great with your dog and she has lots of energy to walk!”


16. Dia K.
“Dia K watched my dog, Hank, for six days, providing a loving, family-like environment. Her care made Hank incredibly happy and even forged a friendship with her cat, Vayia. Her attentive and warm approach meant a stress-free vacation for me, knowing Hank was joyfully cared for. Absolutely recommend her for peace of mind and heartfelt pet care.”


17. Chianne T.

“Noodle loved it!”


18. Meg M.
