“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
“My dog had a lot of fun staying at Rachel’s for the weekend! I got lots of pictures and Rachel was super responsive whenever I reached out! My dog had lots of chances to play and be outside, definitely would recommend and use Rachel to watch my dog again!”
“It was great to find Rong for my dog’s boarding. My dog is a rescue and still very timid but he stayed happy and comfortable in Rong’s house and I will always be back to her.”
“Laura took such great care of my Mo!! She sent tons of photos of Mo looking very comfortable in her home and happy playing with her son and another pup. I will absolutely be using Laura again in the future!!!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay with Pam and her daughter. They made him feel at home and we will use Pam any time that we cannot bring him with us. Highly recommend!”
“I was confident upon meeting him that Ron was well-suited to care for my dog. My two-and-a-half-year-old, rambunctious terrier took to Ron and his dog, Joey, immediately. Ron has a calm, gentle demeanor, as does Joey; my often, overly-energetic pet meshed well with both of them. I also appreciated Ron's flexibility with our schedule; he graciously agreed the two times I asked to add a day. Ron connected with and cared for my dog quite well. I'm very happy with the way our arrangement worked out and relieved Ron's amenable to future visits.”
“Carlos was amazing with our two mini poodle puppies. He took great care of them and was attentive to all of our instructions including giving medication. The pups got a lot of time outside in his huge fenced yard. And, Carlos works from home so they got a lot of personal attention. We highly recommend Carlos for boarding services.”
“Sophia is a great person and a dog sitter. She visibly likes pets and treats them wonderfully. I will definitely deal with Sophia in the future and I recommend to all interested persons to use her services.”
“Chris is excellent. We were unexpectedly delayed getting back into town, and he happily kept Maggie for us until we were able to get back home safely. We cannot thank him enough!”
“Woyni went above & beyond to make our two pups feel at home and well taken care of while we were out of town. She accommodated our challenging schedule and responded to all of our messages quickly. Thank you so much for keeping our girls happy. We would highly recommend you!”
“Christopher took excellent care of our boy and provided frequent updates. He even bought a bone for our boy to chew on while he looked after him! I would definitely use again.”
“So gentle and nice with my puppy. Courtney sent several pictures and videos and reassured me a lot as this was my first and not my last time with her for my puppy.”
“Stevie had a wonderful visit with Summer!! We trust she was well taken care of and loved on while she was there. Great communication and photos, too!”
“Ana looked after our dog for 3 nights and 4 days. This was Jack’s longest stay away from us. I was so nervous to leave him, and Ana gave many updates and made me feel sure that Jack was happy and safe. I am so thankful for her care and love towards my dog so I can leave the state and know my dog is in good hands.”
“I truly loved having Dulcy take care of Caesar and Wolfie. They loved having other friends to play with for a week. Caesar didn't want to come inside, he preferred to stay outside playing in the yard. I highly recommend Dulcy to anyone looking for a great sitter for their dog(s).”
“Alton was absolutely fantastic with my pup, Eli. He has a big fenced in backyard which my dog loved and another dog at home for my guy to play with. Alton was responsive, sent lots of pictures and videos, and it was clear had such a love for dogs. Eli had a great time and slept like a baby when he got home from all the running and playing.”
“WOW! I've used a bunch of sitters on Rover and Daniel was by far the best. Never had to wonder how my dogs were doing. He sent multiple videos and texts and did a fantastic job. My pups are not the easiest to handle (anxious/reactive), but Daniel clearly has a lot of experience and cares about his charges. Would 100% use him again.”
“Thank you so much for accepting Lecron last minute for New Years Eve! You were awesome and I loved how many video/picture updates I consistently received. I could tell Lecron felt very at home here and well taken care of! Will definitely love to book again!”
“Ben was great with Buster and made sure to keep us updated during his stay with how he was doing. Definitely recommend Ben to take care of your pets! Will be using his services again in the future.”
“My primary dog sitter is no longer available (family). Ren was my second choice among the two highly rated recommendations. 2nd only because Ren is about 40 minutes away from my house. After a meet up with the 1st choice that did not prove to be a match for my two puppies, I reached out to Ren, who had already reached out to me after seeing my post. We arranged to meet the family and see the great big fended yard. Perfect for my two terriers to explore. Drop off was smooth and the dogs took to Ren immediately. The photos started coming in within the hour to let me know they were settling in fine. Ren kept us updated with so many photos, it was great. We never had to ask how the were doing. We were given updates on them in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings. After this weekend, I have to say, Ren is my 1st choice going forward. That kind of care and attentiveness is worth the extra drive time to me. Ren is highly rated for a reason, you want to know that your dogs are not just taken care of, but loved while you are away. That’s what I got with Ren.”
