“Angela is the best dog sitter! She is such a kind person and such a true dog lover. She came highly recommended by neighbors and I could immediately see why. She treated my dog as if she was one of her own and sent me pictures and updates every day. She has a clean spacious home and yard that any pup would be lucky to visit. So thankful to have found her!!”
15. Alejandro & Keyla M.
“Alejandro and Keyla took great care of our two dogs while we were in vacations. They sent us pictures and updates several times a day and were always available for our questions. We will definitely use them again.”
16. Gabriela A.
“Gabriela was wonderful, she sent pics everyday of dogs and even sent videos. I felt comforted they were in good hands. The only thing that bothered me was I never could go in her house. She showed me a pic of living room, but I was not able to go in. I did feel concerned and hoped their AC was working. I may be hesitant to book again but I would clear that up with her first. I will try her again only if I can get a preview of living conditions. I believe she is genuine and does take care of the animals.”
17. Patricia F.
“Patricia did a great job taking care of my boys while I was on vacation. She took them for walks and sent me pics/videos daily, and my boys came back happy!”
18. Lily L.
“Lily is wonderful! If you want someone who constantly keeps you updated with what your furbaby is doing throughout the day, she’s your girl! Communication is great. Our pup came home happy and tired from playing with Lily’s dogs. Will definitely use Lily again.”
19. Penelope C.
“We loved Penelope Ann and her family. They were very caring and loving with our dog Max. Not only did they walk him and play w/him but their daughter had Max sleep with her. We loved they shared a bunch of pictures with us during all the time we were gone for our vacation. We will be using them again in our next outing”
20. Joyce L.
“Joyce was wonderful! We were worried about Mojo because his sister passed away a couple of months ago and has been pretty depressed. But Joyce and her doggies made him happy! It felt SO good to know that our "baby" was in good hands. Joyce made him feel so comfortable and loved that he didn't even try to ignore us for the first day back to "punish us" like he's done in the past. And she was great about sending pictures too!”
