“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”

“Now we know what Mildred has so many 5 star reviews. Thank you so much for the love and care you gave Cuddles this weekend. We appreciated the updates and photos as well. Now we know that we can make plans and also know that Cuddles is safe and happy. We appreciate you.”

“My dogs always enjoy going to Maria’s house. It’s not a kennel but a house where my dogs get the same love and affection as at home. Been there three times and will use Maria again for our next trip”

“Brandie and her family was a delight and a great first experience Rover! My Charger is a HUGE dog and he was treated as if he were their own. She made him homemade dog treats, he loved the outdoor play and I received pictures and videos while I was away. Her home was clean and comfortable and her family was family friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”

“Thayla took care of our dog Foxy, while we were away on a 2 week trip. My family and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Thayla, because she is an extremely nice dog loving person who treated our dog like her own. She took our dog on 3 walks everyday, sent us pictures and updates everyday about the fun things they were doing. Will definitely leave Foxy with Thayla and her dogs next time we are going away again. Thank you ❤️ Camilla and Foxy”

“Matthew and his family are excellent dog caregivers! They have a very large fenced yard for the dogs to play. They are very attentive and sent many photos! I have an older newly adopted dog, they were so sweet and gentle with her. I highly recommend them!!!”

“Olga and her family were excellent hosts for my little Meisha. I could tell she had a fabulous stay, and they made sure she was comfortable and happy. Will definitely try to book with them in the future.”

“Rebecca has been a wonderful dog sitter for my pup. They treated my dog like it was there own and showered him with love and affection . I would definitely recommend rebecca to take care of anyone's pets and I will be using her in the future. My pup loves going to Rebecca's house ! ”
“Cherissa and Ricardo were great with my 4yr old pup. They took very good care of him and sent pictures of him and let me know he was doing great. I would recommend them to anyone to watch their dog! Great job thank you!”

“Amruta is very easy to work with. We needed a last minute care for our dog for a day. Great and prompt with communications. Very kind and sweet. Will definitely keep her in our sitter’s short list.”

“Mario was absolutely wonderful. Kind, friendly, and such genuine care for my dog. It was so reassuring to receive pictures of my pup every day and seeing how happy he was. I would definitely recommend Mario and will most certainly request his services again!”

“This was our first time leaving my almost 4 year old dog with any type of sitter. This was also her first time, with other dogs for an extended period of time. I was a little nervous at first but once we had the meet and greet with Jeff before confirming the stay I knew this would be the best place for my Betsy! Jeff was great at communicating before, after and during the stay. We got so many photos of how Betsy was doing. We had a bunch of thunder storms the week she was staying, Jeff did a fantastic job keeping her comfortable. He sent many updates and overall I felt confident that betsy was taken care of. When we picked her up she was so calm for the rest of the day. She had a great stay, and made so many few doggie friends! I would recommend Jeff to anyone and everyone! We differently will be having Betsy stay with him again!”

“Nayeli filled in at short notice to provide boarding and care for my senior shepherd/husky (shepsky). She took care of his food and medications and provided excellent communication and updates during the stay. He had a great visit with her.”

“This was my first time boarding a 3month old puppy, and Loretta and her partner were so fantastic! They took such sweet care of her, she was never alone and loved her time with Paprika and Akira! It was such sweet peace of mind knowing my girl was safe and happy. Thanks Loretta 💕🐾🦴”

“Cristian took care of my two dogs for a stay of 8 days. He kept us updated with pictures each day and it looked like they had a lovely time and were well cared for. Drop off and pickup were also very easy”

About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I’m in university at the moment, so my schedule is pretty open. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single on campus, with a decently sized room for any small or medium sized doggies, and there is a fenced in track behind my building/apartment if they wanna just run around with me for a while.
“Myla, as always, is awesome. Loki loves going there and gets along with her and her dog well. She is active and takes the dog out regularly and attends to all of Loki’s needs. She gives regular updates and is always so kind and respectful. Def would recommend!”

Amruta watched our two Frenchies for a long weekend while we were out of town. She sent regular updates and did an amazing job overall. It was very clear from the photos she sent and their demeanor when we got home that they were very comfortable with her. We would absolutely work with her again in the future!

Mildred and her family are wonderful people and take great care of the pups that stay with them. From the beginning they put my wife and I at ease when we had the meet and greet. They are knowledgeable on dogs and their behavior. During the stay, Mildred sent us daily updates which included pictures. She was great at responding whenever we reached out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great sitter.

Catherine was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had never left our pups with anyone and we were a bit worried. Catherine kept in touch and sent pictures which really helped ease our mind. The dogs were so comfortable with her and I will definitely use her again if needed.
