“My dog Snowie (a husky) has been coming here for daycare and boarding for months now. We love the facility-- it's clean, bright, and very well organized. The video feeds are great when we want to check on Snowie, and they also send us pictures of his stay.”
2. Shanna G.
“Wonderful care”
3. Tamiko A.
“Was so happy with Milo’s stay with Tamiko and her beautiful family. It was very clear when we picked him up that he enjoyed his stay with and we will be rebooking with her in the future.”
4. Chris J.
“Chris clearly cares so much about the safety and happiness of your dog AND carries a hefty amount of dog expertise. From his thorough questioning to understand my dog prior to him staying with Chris to the communication/updates throughout the stay, it was clear that Chris is someone who will go above and beyond. My dog clearly had so much fun staying with Chris and his two German shepherds, and we will absolutely be returning!”
5. Shelley C.
“Shelley is a true dog lover! Her fur baby Capri gets the best love and the she gave equally as much love to both of my dogs when they stayed with her! They have done long and short stays at Shelley's house. The only thing I am always disappointed by is how they are not super excited to see me upon my return because they are so relaxed n their own vacation! This is my first choice versus a stressful stay at a kennel. A+ service full of love and attention!!!!”
6. Sondra & Kirk P.
“Ted had a wonderful time with Sondra and Kirk. They were so easy to communicate with and just the nicest people! 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back for future stays.”
7. Kayla C.
“I highly recommend Kayla as a pet caregiver! She took exceptional care of my golden retriever, Buck, treating him with love and attention. He adored her! She sent many updated photos of Buck throughout his vacation with her.”
8. Victoria G.
“Victoria did an excellent job watching Milo. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!”
9. Amanda R.
“Amanda is very experienced, kind, and super informative! Really happy with the quality of care my pup has been receiving from her. I’m really glad I found someone I trust.”
10. Zhenni L.
“Thanks for taking great care of Taka girl! I appreciate the updates and photos!”
11. Laurie S.
“Laurie met my pets and they immediately went up to her, she immediately gained their love and trust which was important to us. It did not bother her that we checked up on them from time to time during our time away. When we returned our pets were very happy and well taken care of. We will continue to use her.”
12. Julian Z.
“Very accommodating and nice sitter experience! My dog can be pretty shy at first, and it was great to see Julian not mind at all and work together to make my dog feel comfortable throughout his stay. Would book again!”
13. Elizabeth F.
“Liz is best! She truly loves animals and takes awesome care of our two dogs when petsitting. Liz goes out of her way to make sure that they get daily walks no matter the weather conditions. She treats our girls like they are one of her own! She gets my highest recommendation!!!”
14. Hoai B.
“Hoai treated my boy better than any other caregiver. She took him to the beach, for walks, took great pictures, and even washed and groomed him. A dog lover like no other!”
15. Janie M.
“Janie watched our Vizsla for the afternoon and everything went perfect. Her home and backyard are large and dog friendly, and our dog had a great time. Thanks!”
16. Jennifer T.
“Yogi had a really fun time with Jen and Mia today! Jen gave Yogi a lot of great exercise and attention, and he really liked to play and sunbathe in Jen's backyard! Looking forward to booking with Jen again - highly recommended!”
17. Erika L.
“Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!”
18. Ella H.
“Yogi had a great time staying and playing with Ella! Ella took really good care of Yogi, and he was very fond of her! She was very communicative throughout the day and sent some cute pictures of Yogi. She walked him twice and let him relax in her pool. I highly recommend Ella's services and have already booked a 2nd day of puppysitting with her.”
19. Mark-Anthony E.
“I took a "test drive" with Mark, leaving my dogs with him for a day. He was a great match for my 2 older dogs. He knew how to match their energy and had a very calm presence when they first met him. My pups will usually bark at people when they first met them but not at Mark. They were fine with him for a full day. He took them for a walk and they were fine for him. My "party pup" wanted more pets from Mark before we left. I definitely recommend Mark for a calm & comfortable person & place of care.”
20. Mirna K.
“Mirna was fantastic and took great care of our puppy! We didn’t even have to ask for photos, videos or updates because she just sent them and it was definitely a great reassurance that he was in good hands. Her kids were great as well! Thanks Mirna”
21. John L.
“John is more than just a sitter, he is a genuine animal lover. His passion, patience, and attention for dogs and cats are evident in every interaction and care he provides to the furry companions. He will be an exceptional sitter for you loving furry baby!”
