1. Rosan A.

“River had a great stay with Rosan. He had a great time playing with his dog Oggie. Rosan sent pictures every day and we were confident that he was in great hands. Highly recommend.”


2. Natalie & Patrick G.

“We can't thank Natalie & Patrick enough for the great care and love they showed Ziggy while they were watching him! They provided us with great updates throughout his stay with them. It was so nice to know that our pup was in great hands and having a great time. Their dog is also a great companion and Ziggy had a blast having a friend to hang out with during his stay!”


3. Christina K.

“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”


4. John G.

“1000% recommend. Our German shepherd and Australian shepherd had a blast. The yard is huge! Lots of room to play. We will use John every time we need someone to care for our fur babies. Amazing!”


5. Colby W.

“Watson loves Colby. She is calm, kind and patient. She cares for a limited amount of pups at a time which allows the dogs to make friends and play together with lots of room in the fields behind Colby’s house. Watson comes back happy and tired as he is outside a lot romping around. We are so thankful for Colby as when we do have to travel without Watson, we know he is in great hands.”


6. Kayla D.

“Kayla was great with our eight month old puppy, Edna! Edna is super high energy and can be a lot with new people, but Kayla quickly made her comfortable. We came home to a happy sleeping puppy and plan to have Kayla take care of her in the future.”


7. Eric D.

“Eric was great! He sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated. My dog has epilepsy which Eric handled like a pro. Will definitely be using Eric in the future to watch my pup 😁😁”


8. Peter P.
“Peter was wonderful! Tucker was super happy when we picked him up. Peter was easy to communicate with and sent us cute pics while we were gone which we loved!”


9. Hannah M.

“Hannah and her family took great care of Bailey while we were gone. If we should venture away again, we will definitely use Hannah again to watch Bailey.”


10. Isaac O.

“Isaac was great! Our dog was well taken care of, well exercised, and my family really appreciated the daily photos. Nigel is also a great host ;) I would absolutely hire Isaac again!”


11. Laura C.


“Laura was such a good host for my dog! She updated me and sent me pictures of Maddy. I know Maddy was very well taken care of at Laura’s and I appreciated how flexible she was when my plans changed abruptly. I will definitely use Laura again! ☺️”


12. Louis & Haley B.

“Louis and Haley are so kind, responsible, and clearly dog people! We appreciated the cute pictures and great care they took of our dog. Would definitely book with them again!”




13. Victoria B.

“Victoria did great with Otus!! We got lots of pictures and she was very flexible with her schedule to work with us. Otus seemed to have a really good time with Ella and Kiki who are very well behaved!! We will definitely be using her again!!”


14. Mildred B.

“Mildred did an excellent job taking care of our little dog. She was great at communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Thank you!”


15. Kaitlyn L.

“So glad we found Kaitlyn! She is now one of our go-to dog sitters. It’s clear that she takes great care of her own dog and strives to do the same for others. She was eager to learn about and meet our pup’s needs, providing lots of care and attention, exercise and outdoor time. We could tell from the pictures that our dog Nyima was happy and got along with Kaitlyn’s dog Cedar. Couldn’t be more satisfied!”


16. Sarah A.
About: I have had pet dogs all of my adult life. They are not just pets - they’re family. I live on a quiet cul de sac with my two-year-old golden retriever Maple. She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home most days. Being a mom, I’m around most nights. I am also available most weekends. I have fenced in yard where your furry friend can play with my dog. We’re on a quiet street where we take lots of walks. I can also crate when preferred.


17. Dawn S.

“Dawn is amazing with my 4 year old malinois mix. Her dog is very friendly and they got along great. She was very easy to get a hold of and quick to answer back. Her yard was huge and fenced in which was perfect for the pups to play unrestricted. All and all she is a great dog sitter that I will use anytime I can!”


18. Anneke M.

“Anneke was very sweet and did a great job of taking care of our pup. She was extremely accommodating to our schedule and I highly recommend her for any out of owners visiting for a few days”


19. Ruchi N.
“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”


20. Eric A.

“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”
