“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Bingo felt completely at home from day one, and his routines were kept exactly the same. He enjoyed his daily walks, and we loved receiving photo and video updates that kept us connected while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear how much care and attention was given. We truly cannot recommend Dana enough and will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you Dana and Family!! 🐶”
“Christina was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Phire! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated with thoughtful messages with photos that showed how much love and care she provided. Christina took Phire on long walks, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and stimulation. She fed her right on schedule (including her supplement) and made sure she felt completely at home. Phire was so relaxed and happy at Christina’s house—it was clear she was in great hands. Christina’s professionalism, warmth, and dedication made us feel so comfortable leaving Phire with her. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Jocelyn is an amazing dog sitter. She was communicative, professional and kind. She took care of my dogs for a period of 10 days and I had complete peace of mind because she sent me so many photos and videos of my pups having a great time in her home. She is a gem.”
“Cathy was great with my dog, Millie! It was the first time Millie was away from home and she looked so happy in the pics and communications that Cathy send to me daily. It was great knowing Millie was "at home" away from home!”
“Lucy took excellent care of our 1 year-old golden doodle! She requires lots of activity which she got at the park daily. Lucy provided great daily updates including videos of their adventures and snaps of her enjoying the day at home playing with toys or just watching people go by out the window. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“5 Stars – Exceptional Care for My Pets! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Peiiyi for an extended stay with my pets, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, they provided exceptional care for my two dogs, ensuring they were comfortable, happy, and well-attended to while I was away. Communication: Throughout their stay, Peiyi sent regular updates and adorable pictures of my pets, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that they were taking care of my pets' needs and bonding with them, which made me feel confident in their care. Companionship: It's clear that Peiyi and her family love animals. My dogs, who can be shy with strangers, warmed up to them quickly. They were so happy and content when I returned, and it was obvious they had been treated like part of the family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind while they were under your care!”

We can’t recommend her enough; Cairo can’t wait for his next sleepover!”

Thank you Aeli for making our hearts so full with your immense care!”
