Louis had a great time with Gail while we were in Norfolk for a conference. He enjoyed her large backyard, the company of her two chihuahuas, and even sleeping on the bed. She sent us lots of photos and updates during Louis’s stay. We would definitely recommend Gail for dog sitting.

Samson has stayed with Julie and Kenneth several times this year. Samson is an elderly dog set in his ways, and I can tell he is very comfortable with them. They keep me informed of any issues, and I am so happy to have found them!

I was extremely nervous about leaving my puppy with someone for the very first time ever, however Corey made this over night stay very easy and stress free! He was very calm with Chico which made it this experience so awesome! Chico had a ball! All hands down I would recommend Corey!

I don’t think there is enough space here for me to compliment Marina enough! Her patience and and attention to care, to dogs as well as their humans, can’t be beat. As a new dog mom to a higher maintenance adolescent pup, both my dog and I had lots of needs and questions. Marina attended to them all with 100% positivity and enthusiasm. Her love for what she does is apparent and I very much hope to be a repeat client.

Shelby is such an awesome spirit! I got called into work and she took my Golden Retriever Lilly last minute and made her feel right at home. Im very picky about who watches my fur baby. But after meeting her I was certain my Lilly would be loved and spoiled like I would treat her and she did. Shelby has a sweet dog named Wrangler and they hit off very well. She sent pics and vids all day showing my doggy having a great time chilling with her. I look forward to booking her more in the future.

Sanika took excellent care of my pup, Wolfgang. In addition to caring for him, she spent personal time with him by playing and walking with him, important socialization for this energetic breed.

Ayana was great!! She was able to take care of Theo as if he was at home. She provided updates and was available for my last minute booking request. Theo seemed happy and really like himself compare to others we have used on this app. I will be definitely using Ayana's services again if Theo is welcomed back!!

Zach was incredibly responsive! He checked in frequently with me, and updated me with photos/videos of my pups. Before officially dropping my dogs off, he allowed them to get accustomed to his house and yard. During this time, Zach also asked me questions about the dogs’ regiments and any other care specific inquiries. He was friendly through all interactions and took great care of my dogs. I highly recommend leaving your fur babies with Zach!

Catina and her family were fantastic!! I would highly recommend her for watching your dog. I have a 9 year old giant shih tzu named Thomas who is like my baby. We did a meet and greet before the stay and I could tell right away it was a very happy and loving environment which I was looking for to care for my Thomas. Right away my dog made himself at home and was more excited about meeting her family and dogs so I knew he thought it was a good fit too. Thomas stayed for almost two whole weeks over Christmas. I am not normally away from him that long so I was nervous about that at first, but I felt at ease with him in Catina’s care and he was so happy. She updated me throughout the stay and sent me photos of my pup so I never had to worry how he was. When I came back I could tell he had so much fun! He had a blast and was very well cared for. I would highly recommend Carina!

I returned from a 3-day business trip to Chicago to be met by a very happy dog - MINE! Monty seemed to have a good time with Paul and the other dogs and I will certainly contact Paul first the next time I need an overnight stay for Monty.
