“Thank you so much for watching Gus and Theo! They loved their stay and we loved all of the updates, photos, and videos sent! Thank you for making us feel so comfortable while we were away. We can’t wait for them to stay with you again!!”
“Jenny was wonderful with our 14 yr old dachshund, Charlie. She sent pics and updates every day, and it was evident our little guy was well taken care of and content in her home. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future!”
“Michelle and her wonderful family wholly welcomed my dog Skye and made her feel so welcome at their beautiful property. She's a bit of a nervous girl, and Michelle was very in tune with her moods and needs. She was gently introduced to Michelle's dogs one at a time, and even got to sleep in a bed with a family member. Not only was Skye reassured and happy, I was too!”
“Was great at communicating with me during the trip and was accommodating for our older dog that needed less “social time” and our puppy with more energy and special dietary needs! Would recommend Rachel and would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“Emily is the best ever!!! She spends quality time with my little Nelly. She keeps me updated with pictures and messages. I can feel so confident when my Nelly is in her care!!! Can’t say enough about her care for my dog”
“Our dog immediately felt comfortable at Paige & Matthew’s house. Communication was great, our dog was well cared for. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Chad and his kids (and Lucy, his doodle) took great care of our Poppy! He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Poppy seemed very comfortable there and we will send her there again!”
“Caroline did an amazing job caring for our dog again. It’s always hard to leave him behind when we go on trips, but she makes it so much easier. We know he’s being well cared for. We highly recommend her and will always reach out to her when we need someone to watch our dog. ❤️”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sabrina was in constant contact and sent pictures and videos every day that she had Grace. She got to know dog and adjusted her care accordingly. I highly recommend Sabrina as a pet sitter.”
“Tatyana was absolutely amazing. We got the best photos and updates and it made me feel so much better about being away from our pup! He felt so comfortable there with her cute pup Biscuit-I’m pretty sure he wanted to move in! We will definitely be bringing Bernie back there again. He was in the BEST hands!!!! We love Tatyana!!!!”
“Félix is beyond AMAZING ! He has such a beautiful heart and Love for dogs. I took my Shelby over for a meet and greet. I had never left her before and was very anxious about having to leave her for such a long time- 3 weeks. Anxious being an understatement. But I left the meet and greet 100% certain that she would be loved, spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. And she was. When I picked her up, she was happy and healthy and I could feel the bond that had formed between them. Felix was so wonderful about keeping me updated. He sent lots of photos and videos, took her on long walks every day, and has a huge fenced in backyard where she could run off her energy. I highly recommend Felix, would Absolutely leave my little girl with him again. I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who could possibly do as well of a job or a better job of loving and caring for my best friend. I wouldn’t even consider leaving her with anyone else because I have found the very best in Felix.”
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful! She was able to take my pup so last minute and was extremely communicative throughout my trip. Will be rebooking for every trip!!!”
“Renee was fantastic for Tycho! She sent videos of him during his stay, was accommodating of our arrival time, and it was clear Tycho had a great time. Definitely would recommend her!”
“Kristopher and his family were wonderful hosts for our energetic and happy dog. Kristopher provided regular photos and updates and made us very comfortable that our dog was well cared-for. Drop-pff and pickup were a breeze and very flexible. We'd happily send our dog to stay again!”
“Soly was the most thorough and detail-oriented dog sitter I have ever used; and I have used many. I was very impressed! I really enjoyed all the photos and detailed updates from him each day. Moe seemed very happy and I am grateful for the care and attention Soly gave to my best buddy. Soly's townhouse is in a great place for dogs. There was a nice walking trail and a great dog private dog park that was completely fenced in. I am confident your dog will be in great hands with Soly.”
“Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!”
