“Kaitlyn is great! She was very kind and patient when working with my very anxious pup, communicating often and putting my mind at ease. My dog had a great stay.”


“As dog owners, we all know how hard it can be to leave our little ones behind when we travel. I’m so happy to have finally found someone I can trust to ensure Edison is loved and cared for while we’re away. Jieming and his wife, Lauren, are incredibly caring, kind, and thoughtful. They took excellent care of Edison and kept us updated with constant photo updates. From the pictures, it was clear that Edison was receiving so much love, having fun, and truly happy. I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!”


“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”


“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”


“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”


“Anna boarded our cat for over a week. She was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She treated our cat as if he were her own and we felt peace of mind while he was in her care. She administered his medication three times daily and let us know each time she did. Her photos and videos were so cute and very high quality. We can tell our cat was happy and loved. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely hire her again the next time we need boarding! Don’t hesitate to book with her 🐾”


“Jo and Adam were friendly, responsible, and communicative. They took great care of my pup… she barely wanted to come home at the end of the stay! Thanks for all the pictures & feedback on how Lady was doing throughout our trip.”

“Our English springer spaniel felt right at home with Adriana and her family.She sent us photos and videos every day, so we knew she was well taken cared for and happy. When I picked her up, she showered me with love, and it was clear she had enjoyed her time with them. Will use her again.”


“Linda was so kind and sweet withy dog. She sent updates and pictures. She has a great dog-friendly couch my dog loved, and she got non-skid mats to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is elderly so can either be sleepy and peaceful or need a little extra TLC, and Linda took great care of her. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, health, and comfort. I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”


“Haowen was very communicative and sent several updates & photos during our dog’s stay. He was flexible for pick up & drop off and I could tell our dog enjoyed his company. I definitely recommend and will re-book.”

“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”


“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
