Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided. They communicated with me daily for an entire month, sending me pictures and videos of my dog meeting new friends and going on fun long walks! I could tell my Greyson was extremely happy and comfortable and well taken care of every day. They had him for his birthday and they even sang him happy birthday. They are an excellent family with lots of love for animals.

Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!

Rebecca is a wonderful dog sitter. I have left Stella with her on more than one occasion as she always takes great care of my dog. All directions were followed and she was very accommodating when I had to change pick up due to upcoming bad weather. I highly recommend Rebecca for dog sitting.

Lyn cared for Luka spectacularly with daily exercise, playtime, and treats. She sent regular updates of how he was doing, along with pictures of what they were up to. Thank you so much Lyn!

We boarded our dog Bentley for a week with Lissette who is a consummate professional. We couldn't be happier and are extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received. When you leave what your pet likes and enjoys doing in the profile section, she makes sure that she accommodates that request. We mentioned that Bentley likes to sit on top of a couch with a blanket and sure enough we received pictures of Bentley doing just that. In fact Lissette will send you photos of your pet twice a day by text which is great. Lissette is not only super nice, but also very friendly and down to earth. She has been doing this for a long time, and she cares a lot about your pet. Look no further. We are so glad we found such an enjoyable place for Bentley where he got to spend time outdoors, on walks, playing with other dogs and we felt he had a vacation as we did!

Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!

Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

Paige is amazing!!! I can not recommend her highly enough. She provided very frequent updates every day without us needing to ask for them, a huge relief while we were out of the country. We had initially left our dog with a rover we did not trust and Paige was so understanding and helped us switch. We felt so comfortable once our dog was with them and we know they showed our dog so much love. Thank you Paige & Joe!!
