“Gabriela clearly loves dogs. Ours was quite comfortable with her from the start. She also paid attention to details, asking very good questions about our dog’s routine and behaviors. She lives right next to a very nice trail through a park which our dog enjoys. Great communication during the booking and nice updates throughout the stay. We will certainly use Gabriela again!”


“Jaimi is literally the perfect sitter. Knight has a great time, he was so content! We even did a meet and greet and I just knew that Jaimi’s warm heart and Knights docile demeanor would be a perfect fit. She sent updated pics daily and communication was punctual and everything I could ask for. I will be using her in the future”


“Ouzo clearly loved staying with Joseph! He apparently did so much running and playing with the other dogs that he came home and barely moved for a day! Happy exhaustion! Joseph was diligent about keeping us informed about Ouzo's stay with texts, photos and videos. I very much appreciated Joseph's sense of responsibility and professionalism throughout the pre-booking and during Ouzo's stay. We will definitely use his services again!”



“Yuhan took very good care of our Whoopie Pie. She sent photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and always replied quickly. Would definitely recommend. Thanks a lot! :)”


“I left my two border collies with Jessica for the first time and it was a great experience. They came home happy dogs and she was great about sending pictures and letting me know how they were doing without even asking. Her house is extremely clean and I will be using her again the next time I go away! This was a great experience. I have never left my dogs with someone I didn’t know and I had a great comfort level when I left them with Jessica. Thank you so much Jessica!!! What a great experience!!! I highly recommend her if you need a place for your pups when you go away !!”


“Christina is the best, Toby pulls us down the street when he knows we’re coming to her house. He absolutely adores her and she does an amazing job with him. We are so grateful for her.”


“Rosanna and her boys were wonderful. Super easy to work with and very flexible with pick up and drop off. Our Marty made some new friends and took plenty of walks. We received daily pictures and over all Marty seemed happy and well taken care of. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Absolutely amazing. My little dog had the greatest time, got a lot of socializing and exercise everyday. I boarded him for a week and would absolutely do so again.”


“Marilyn was absolutely amazing. Very kind and caring, sent photos and always responded to any text messages. She took great care of our cat. We chose Marilyn because she is a retired nurse and our cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. We would definitely use her again and refer her to her others in need of pet care. Thanks Marilyn!”


“Carla and her husband did an awesome job of caring for our beloved bulldog when we were on vacation. He has a lot of energy, but they had no difficulty taking care of him. In fact, he has been calmer since he returned home. I highly recommend Carla and we plan on using her again should the need arise!”


“Emeline saved my life. She’s was so sweet to my Titan. Gave us constant updates with pictures. She even was flexible with my flight being delayed. I can’t thank her enough. She’s apart of the family now.”


“james and his dog denver were great hosts for my pup. he came back happy and balanced and seem to enjoy his stay. i would use james again. he was communicative, friendly yet professional.”


“John was absolutely wonderful! My one shepherd has numerous allergies and is very accident prone, while my other shepherd is very reactive to other dogs. Because of this, I was very anxious to leave my pups, but John was very patient and answered every question and concern that I had. He gave plenty of updates and pictures and my pups came back healthy, happy, and well rested. I definitely plan to board them with John in the future! Highly recommend!!!”


“Jia watched my dog, Tara last Tuesday night. I was apprehensive of course , leaving her with someone new but my fears were definitely unfounded. She sent several pics showing me what Tara was up to all night, & in every photo, Tara looked thrilled. I was then able to enjoy my night out with no concerns for her welfare. Can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend her! She’s wonderful.”


“Hali was great! This was my first time leaving MJ with someone that wasn’t family and for such a long time (10 days). Hali kept me updated with photos, was great at communicating, and I can tell that MJ enjoyed being there. I will definitely be using Hali again!”


“Katy and her husband Marco are our adopted Rover family. ♥️ We know our pup gets the best care with them. We love when we drive to their house Pepper gets so excited to see them.”


“Jennifer B was absolutely amazing! She responded quickly to my initial response and we scheduled a meet and greet, which went so well. I dropped off Bella and Jennifer starting sending me photos of her adjusting to her home. Jennifer also sent videos too! I was completely comfortable and I was able to enjoy my family reunion. Jennifer sent me a email if she had a question or concern. She is also so friendly too! I will definitely book with her again for boarding!”


“This is my first time using a pet sitter. Allegra’s place was perfect with a large yard and friendly dogs and people. I had no worries and got lots of photos. I highly recommend!”


“I could not recommend Douglas highly enough. This was my first time boarding my dog for a significant amount of time and knowing she’s a bit of a nervous dog I was really worried about finding a place where she would be comfortable. I feel very lucky to have found Douglas. From our first messages it was clear that he was a thoughtful, kind, and responsible person who really cares about dogs. This did not change during the 10 days he took care of Marbles. He was very communicative, sent lots of updates and completely put my mind at ease! Will absolutely work with Douglas again!”
