“Jacob was great with my 1.5 year old beagle Peggy! She ended up getting a little sick before my trip, and he went above and beyond by taking care of her and making sure she felt better within a couple days, keeping me posted on her recovery. Sent plenty of photos and she was all healthy and chipper by the time I got back!”
“Brian was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Charlie. Couldn't leave your pet in better hands. Easy to work with, great communicator; Book him if he's available!”
“Georgilin is amazing! This is the first time I can travel without worrying about gummy because I knew she was on great hands. Gave me constant updates and Gummy was so happy when I picked her up! Thanks Georgilin for everything :) will definitely be rebooking with her many times in the future”
“Roberto was the best! Our golden loved staying with him and his pups. We also got beautiful pictures of her living it up! Definitely will be calling again.”
“Helios was excited the minute he got out of the car. I knew he’d be safe. Really appreciate the last minute booking over a holiday. Would recommend.”
“Before booking with Madeline, my fiancé and I took our pups to meet her and her husband Roman. We instantly could tell how much they both love dogs and we felt so comfortable sending our dogs to stay with them. They were super flexible with pick up and drop off times and made the whole process so easy! The best part is that Madeline sent photo updates throughout the stay so we could see what they were up to. Our pups had so much fun playing with the other dogs that Madeline was watching, which was great since our boys have a lot of energy and love to play with friends! I feel so at ease and happy with our decision to send Dale and Tyson with Madeline and we are looking forward to booking with them in the future!”
“Pat was wonderful with our senior dog, Larry. Lots of updates and photos. It was great knowing that he was well cared for while we were away.”
“Eric and his wife are absolutely fantastic with my cat. They've taken the best care of him as well as helping him get over his fear of strangers. He always comes back well groomed and happy!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his excellent care the next time you need to board your smallest family member. Our Molly, who is in her 14th year, had just started to display some cognitive dysfunction as well as what we perceived as sadness in the loss of her best buddy, her brother from the same litter. Tony was very attentive and observant of Molly's behavior as she tried to adjust to her new surroundings. At times she did need some extra care due to her confusion or anxiety of her situation which Tony lovingly provided, all the while making sure that we were receiving videos and feedback as to her experience.”
“Sara was wonderful with our older lab/hound mix! She was communicative, thorough and he really seemed to enjoy his time with her. We would definitely use Sara again and highly recommend!”
“Noah was amazing with Max. Noah kept me updated about Max. Max had a great time staying with Noah, and his pup Ginsy. Thank you for taking care of him. I really recommend Noah.”
“Andrica was very friendly and accommodating. As a new fur-mom, it was reassuring to receive daily video and pictures of my pup. I knew Duke was in good hands based on Andrica's laughter alone. To me it meant that Duke was happy, healthy and up to his normal goofy antics. I highly recommend her and know that Duke made a new friend.”
“John is the absolute best. My dog Matilda has idiopathic epilepsy, which means she has seizures randomly and somewhat frequently, and needs medication at a specific time twice a day to manage her condition. As a result, I have always been terrified of leaving her with a dog sitter. She is not the kind of dog who is easy to watch and comes with her own first aid kit with several emergency medications. I have had bad experiences in the past with sitters who can't or won't meet her needs, and trying to find someone I can be sure won't slack off is a tough thing to do. From the moment I first spoke to John, he absolutely put my mind at ease. Not only did he listen to my instructions, he actively researched Matilda's condition so he could be ready if anything serious happened. Not only did he give her medication at exactly the right times, but he also made sure to send videos for each pill so I could confirm she got them. John was also excellent at providing regular updates with pictures, and Parker was a wonderful host for Matilda during her entire stay. I have never had a dog sitter who provided me more peace of mind than John. Usually leaving Matilda is an anxious experience for me, even for a few hours, but John helped me feel safe and secure for several days. I would absolutely have John watch Matilda again, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. It is so rare to find anyone who has the same passion and care, not just for animals, but the people who love them as well.”
“Alison was amazing with my dog Huck!!! She took care of his daily medications and I got all the updates and he always looked like he was having a great time in his pictures :) Would definitely love to book her again for our next long trip away and can’t recommended her enough!”
“Victoria and her husband took great care of Mochi! Mochi tends to take time to warm up to a new environment but had no problems with Victoria. She was knowledgable and very responsive. We appreciated her sending update photos while Mochi was there. We could not have found a better place for him to stay while we were away!!! Everything went very smoothly and without worry. Highly recommended Victoria!”
“Nicole was a great surrogate mom for chaos while we went away for the weekend. She sent pictures and updates regularly, and tried lots of solutions to get him to eat when he wasn't in the mood. We'd definitely leave our old dog with her again!”
“Iliana made my pup feel right at home - he has a lot of anxiety and sometimes struggles when boarded. I’ve never seen him more comfortable in photos when I’m away. I’ll book with her a million times over!”
“Dulce provided a loving home-away-from-home for my Oliver. She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely at ease and would absolutely board with her again!”
“Rachel was easy to work with and made sure my pup was comfortable for her overnight stay. I’m already looking forward to booking with her again!”
