“We had a great experience with Leanne and Mark. The communication was consistent, positive and geared towards my concerns re: his anxiety with new people. We are booking again and soon. Teddy came home relaxed and happy!”

“Samantha was a wonderful host for Otto. She sent plenty of photos, and kept us up to date with how Otto was doing. We definitely plan to work with Samantha and Sophie again”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yessenia was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely love animals and would treat my pup like her own. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“My lil’ Enastasia tends to be quite shy & timid with others, so I don’t think I can leave a better review than to say the second I pulled up in front of Brineydi’s house for their second visit, Enastasia jumped up the (closed) window, wagging her tail, and crying in excitement. She couldn’t wait to come back to what’s clearly a safe, loving & fun environment!”

“I love going to Sheree to care for my dog. She is patient and very loving with my pup. She was even kind enough to drop my girl off to me when we were unable to pick her up on time. I can't recommend Sheree enough”

“Hali was great! This was my first time leaving MJ with someone that wasn’t family and for such a long time (10 days). Hali kept me updated with photos, was great at communicating, and I can tell that MJ enjoyed being there. I will definitely be using Hali again!”


“Mónica and her family took such great care of our PJ. She kept me up to date with pictures daily of his activities. She kept him active and comfortable. I would absolutely love to use Mónica again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Our pup is always so happy with Lauren and John! They kept him so comfortable during our busy wedding weekend, and let us focus on the family and friends we had in town. We highly recommend their home :)”
“Jeffrey was able to take care of our high-energy pup Dudley on short notice over a holiday weekend. We appreciated the updates and are happy Dudley was able to enjoy Jeffrey's company and fenced back yard while we were away! Would not hesitate to have Jeffrey watch Dudley again in the future.”

“Loved Roseanna’s kindness! So grateful she was able to take my puppy into boarding at such a short notice. Really communicative, gave constant updates on Simba through photos and videos, very easy to reach!”

“Brittany was so sweet with my mini dachshund, and he loved playing with her pups. She sent regular photos/videos and was quick to respond. I’m glad to have a reliable dog sitter I’ll be able to use in the future.”

“Great communication. Seemed to really take pride in taking good care of our dog. She came back happy and we were able to enjoy a vacation without worrying about our animal care.”

“We booked Nataliya last minute to attend a funeral. She answered quickly and was able to accommodate us. She is the best, sent picture updates to let us know everything was going well. Will definitely be booking again for 2 upcoming trips. Thank you so much!!”

“Christina was great with Katsu! This is the second time she’s watched him, and he loves being there. She is very accommodating and takes him on lots of walks and lets him on her bed and pillows:) I had a flight delay and she graciously kept Katsu an extra day. Katsu is picky about his people, but he took to her right away. When I’m away, I know he’s well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”

Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Randi was absolutely amazing! I always get nervous leaving Harper but she made me feel much better about everything. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent pictures to ease my concerns. She was very attentive about keeping with our regular routines. I would highly recommend booking with her and definitely plan to book with her again in the future!
