Addison was an amazing sitter for our Sunny boy! She was super responsive and kept us updated on how he was doing during his stay. It was clear from the start how caring she is, and Sunny seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. We would absolutely book with Addison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.

Another great experience boarding with Madison and Joe. She sent plenty of Instagram worthy pics and my dog came back happy and healthy. We especially enjoy their promptness for pick-up/drop-off as we’re always eager to reunite with our dog at the end of a trip. So happy to have found this sitter!

Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.

We are so lucky to have found Geof! He sent wonderful updates and took such care of our doggie. Geof wanted to know about our doggie to make sure it was the best experience for her, and it was! She was so, so happy. His beautiful house has the best backyard for doggies to enjoy their time outside.

I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.

Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques

I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.

Nicole was amazing! My dog sometimes can be a little nervous with sitters/sleepovers but he felt comfortable almost immediately with Nicole. I came to pick him up, and he was almost reluctant to leave, lol. I would absolutely recommend Nicole to other pet owners (just not when I need to use her 😉)
