“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of hiring Emily to take care of Mel, my beloved dog, while I was away. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily updates during my trip, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention provided. Emily took the time to understand Mel's routine, preferences, and any quirks that might need special attention. It was evident that they genuinely love dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs. Every day, I received updates and photos that put my mind at ease, showcasing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care. Not only did Emily provide regular meals and exercise, but they also engaged in fun activities and even took Mel on walks to the river walk. I could tell that my dog was getting plenty of love and attention, which is so important when you're away from home. Upon my return, Mel seemed relaxed and happy, which reassured me that I made the right choice by entrusting Emily with their care. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. They exceeded my expectations and truly treated Mel as if they were their own. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs! Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding service!”
“Dezmond was great, he made sure to provide frequent updates/pictures and was flexible with scheduling. Appa was excited for his visit and enjoyed his stay with Dezmond. We will definitely come back.”
“Angel took good care of Ivy for a couple nights and sent lots of updates. He was also very flexible and was even willing to drop her off at my place since I wasn’t available to pick her up.”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated. I wasn’t worried at all because she was left in amazing hands and I had the chance to meet with Rob before sending her over. 10/10 experience.”
“L & L were terrific with Stormy. They provided regular updates along with photos and videos so we could see that Stormy was well taken care of. He even got to spend some time with other pups that visited for part of his stay. We will definitely use L & L again on our next trip. It provided such peace of mind knowing he was with such dog-loving people.🥰”
“Diana and Scott did a great job watching our dog Chalupa. They sat her for a week, and it was clear Chalupa was well cared for and got lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Diana and Scott to others!”
“Deijah was very quick to respond to my request to watch my baby Arlo at the last minute for the weekend while my husband and I went out of town. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!”
“Janet was a great sitter for Otto. She always responded very quickly and opened her home for a quick visit before Otto's stay. During Otto's stay Janet shared many pictures of Otto during his stay and kept us updated often. It is clear Janet cares about the dogs she watches and especially doted on Otto. We will definitely use Janet again in the future.”
“Where do I even begin?! Honestly. I’ve read that they are “GOD SENDS” and it is true. They are truly some of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met. From the moment they walked in, my puppy was instantly comfortable with them (which never happens that fast!). You can just feel how much they genuinely love animals. They didn’t just take care of my puppy — they spoiled them with love, attention, and so much patience. I got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made me smile every time. It was such a relief knowing my little one was being cared for by someone so warm and trustworthy. And the sweetest touch? They even brought special keepsakes as a little surprise — it was so thoughtful and showed how much heart they put into what they do. My puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly adored. I couldn’t recommend them all more. They’re responsible, compassionate, and truly have the biggest heart. If you’re lucky enough to have them take care of your dog, you can rest easy knowing your pup is in the very best hands. 🐶💛 I will baked my sweet, but crazy pup there again and again!!!!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julia! She is so reliable, kept me updated, sent lots of photos and really gave me peace of mind when watching my fur baby! I’m absolutely booking her again for anytime. I need a puppysitter!”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“I can’t express how WONDERFUL our dogs stay was with Peter. We received constant updates and our sweet Cocoa was treated exactly as a family member (truly!). We were so happy knowing our pup was with such loving and caring people. We will absolutely be staying with them again!”
“If you are feeling uneasy about booking a person to care for your dog, look no further! Dayana is the absolute best and took phenomenal care of both my dogs. She kept me updated by sending videos and pictures. My dogs had the best time. She even did a cute photo shoot with my dogs. She was very attentive and loving to my dogs. Don’t think twice and book her! I’ll be selecting her for my upcoming trips.”
“The absolute best! We do not live close to Kimberly but the level of care and love she and her family give to both our babies makes the travel absolutely worth it. She makes our pets apart of her family and they absolutely adore staying with Kim. Highly recommended!”

Barbara is fantastic. She has watched my 8-year old Shih Tzu for a weekend and then 10 days. Both times Barbara was responsive, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and was understanding when my flight was cancelled! My dog loved staying with Barbara. She has a nice yard, takes them for walks, and even has a wide variety of toys for the dogs to play with. My dog also lost an eye and takes eye medication. Barbara had no trouble giving him the medication and also made sure his face was clean (not easy with Shih Tzus but important)! She is my go to dog sitter and a pleasure to work with!!
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!
Skipper had the best time with Katherine, Cory and the fam! She enjoyed playing with their dogs Brownie and Mocha so much she didn’t even want to come home after her stay! I received so many cute updates and pics and felt very calm knowing my baby was in great hands!
Bailey was so nice and easy to work with, and super great with our pug! She definitely went above and beyond to give him good care. Her communication is great and she was even able to take care of an unruly nail we’ve been struggling with, which shows that Bailey is truly a dog whisperer. We’ll be calling her again. Thanks Bailey!
I recently had a 2½‑week vacation planned and was nervous about leaving my anxious dog, Teddy, for the first time. Angelina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful from the very beginning. We arranged a couple of day visits and a few overnight stays ahead of my trip so Teddy could slowly adjust to her home and routine. Angelina was wonderfully attentive to Teddy’s needs, especially with feeding—he’s a picky eater, and she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. By the third visit, Teddy was running happily to her door, tail wagging, and that’s when I knew I had found the perfect person to care for him. While I was away, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy had a blast playing with the other dogs, and I can tell he truly misses them! I highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and reliable sitter. She made a stressful situation feel easy, and Teddy absolutely adored her. 💙🐶💙
Sam was great with our two dogs, Lucy and Daisy, over a long weekend. I’m always a bit nervous leaving them because Lucy has specific medical needs, but Sam was very accommodating with her special feeding schedule and medications. Communication was great and they came home happy and well-cared for. We are glad we found Sam and will definitely book again!
