“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. Baining K.
“Baining was commutative with sending pictures and updates. My dogs seemed relaxed when I picked them up so I take that as they enjoyed their stay. I would book again with Baining”
3. Chiaki S.
“Love that I can count on Chiaki to take good care of Bentley! She also sends us updates which is so comforting. Will definitely bring Bentley back for more play dates!”
4. Samantha M.
“Samantha took care of our Samoyed pup, Sammie, who is 4 months old. She knew that he would t be fully vaccinated so she made sure that our Sammie shouldn't be in contact with other dogs. She's been watching our pup for three weeks and I got to say, she definitely puts a lot of care. Sammie loves going back to see Samantha and it is such a relief to find someone who is trustworthy on this app. She sent multiple pictures and took him on walks. If there were any modifications to his routine, Samantha accommodated and worked with us. Knowing that she already had a dog, Blue, and getting another puppy, she still gave Sammie her all. He comes home exhausted after a day with her and knocks out right when we go home. She is an amazing sitter and we would highly recommend her even if you are just needing someone to walk your dog. Thank you so much Samantha for you efforts in taking care of Sammie!”

“I WOULD SERIOUSLY GIVE HER MY KIDNEY. Literally hands down one of the most genuine, loving, caring person I’ve ever met. This is my first time booking with her and I’m officially sold. This is my notice that I will not be looking elsewhere for any other sitter but bianca. Do you like receiving 10957384828 pictures of your pets all day? Updates around the clock? Consistent Communication? THATS BIANCA. I would honestly trust her to watch my future kids too. I trust her whole heartedly. I don’t ever write reviews for anything but I made sure to take time to sit down and write this. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK WITH HER. STOP SCROLLING, LITERALLY STOP. JUST BOOK WITH HER. You will not regret it I promise you.”
7. Meng S.
About: I grew up with our family dog who I took care of since he was a baby. Now my husband and I have a mini Australian Shepherd who’s turning 6 months old. I’m really experienced and patient with younger dogs. I love playing with them as well as giving them lots of cuddles! My husband and I are currently working from home full time. So we can give allots of attention to the fluffy friends! We love going on walks with our mini Aussie and he’s really friendly and plays so well with other dogs as well. We live in a townhouse with a gated yard where dogs can run around. We’re also across the street from 2 parks where we typically take our dog on walks daily. It’s a very dog friendly neighbourhood. We also have a baby gate on our patio to prevent dogs from running off.
8. Alexa H.
“Alexa was wonderful. She helped me out when my pup’s usual sitter was suddenly unavailable. I was worried because I would usually do a meet and greet but with the time constraints she was gracious and kind to my pup despite the lack of intro. We appreciate her help and she took care of our pup so well. We will be back!”
9. Nicole H.
“Our dog was in the best hands and Nicole took great care of Angus”

“Slywia hosted Mr. Admiral for 2 days of puppy care & play with her wonderful golden Bob! From the jump, Slywia was nothing short of amazing. Very easy communication and kept to admirals routine, we're kinda sad she's going on vacation, we can't wait to book again with her!”
12. Minyi C.
“Minyi is a dog person, and she treats all the dogs like their baby. When my family go out for vacation, I sent my dog to Minyi to take care. She walked him every 4 hours, feed him fresh food, play toys with him, and my dog really loves her. I highly recommend pet sitting with her.”
13. Nil A.
“Nil is an amazingly kind, wonderful person and also a very experienced pet owner/sitter. She is super loving and attentive to the dogs under her care, treats them very much like her own.

15. Jia L.
“I will start by saying that I was nervous to leave Harley here as he is a little sensitive guy and not used to children. Jia has two adorable kids full of energy. But then I saw how absolutely gentle they were with Harley and Jia herself is an absolute delight! She really communicates and connects well with my Harley and now he looks forward to seeing Jia and the kids. She is very flexible, gives updates often, ensures he eats and gets a good walk in while also spending plenty of snuggle time with him. Jia's is becoming Harley's second home.”

“Alesia has always been my go-to person for caring for my cat whenever I travel, and she has done an outstanding job every single time. Her care for my cat is exceptional. She’s not only responsive and attentive but also genuinely affectionate, making sure he is relaxed, well-fed, and happy. I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. She is caring and reliable, even for last-minute bookings, so I recommend her to anyone who wants to see their loved pet happy and well taken care of.”

I also received a full report of how many times he went pee/poop, ate and drank. He looked like he had the best time with thier golden doodle puppy, prince! Thank you Karen and Micheal for taking the best care of Koa! He looked happy in all the photos and came home with delight!”
