9. Akiko G.

“Wonderful Dog Sitter Experience! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved fur baby with an exceptional dog sitter, and I cannot express enough how delighted I am with the care provided. Akiko’s warm and friendly demeanor instantly put both me and my dog at ease. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and is passionate about her role as a dog sitter. She took the time to get to know my dog's personality, preferences, and routines. Throughout the entire time, Akiko provided regular updates, including adorable photos of my furry friend, which brought a smile to my face every day. It was comforting to see that my dog was happy and well-cared for, even in my absence. I was especially impressed by the level of attention and personalized care given to my pup. Akiko made sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and even some extra cuddles. What truly sets this dog sitter apart is her genuine commitment to the safety and well-being of the dogs in her care. I cannot recommend Akiko enough for anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and responsible caregiver for their furry family members. I will definitely be using her services again in the future, knowing that my dog will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for providing such a positive and memorable experience for my dog and me. Your passion for animals truly shines through, and I am grateful for the peace of mind you gave me while I was away. You're the best!”


10. Jenny C.

11. Simran K.

“Simran took such great care of my dog Sansa, who was feeling a bit under the weather. She followed every instruction with so much care and went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even expect. She kept me updated throughout the day and was so kind, attentive, and thoughtful with Sansa. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. You can truly tell she loves and knows what she does — I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Sansa and I are so grateful!”

16. Bri & Raj R.

“Bri and Raj are excellent! Very friendly and accommodating to our two doggies’ needs, who can easily be a handful (one is young and full of energy and the other is older and not always dog-friendly) but were a breeze for Bri and Raj. Will definitely be booking with them again and would highly recommend them to others!”


17. Eric C.

20. Avazeh P.

“Ava was awesome!! She watched my dog Zohar and kept her company for 2 weeks while I was traveling. She stayed at my apartment, respected the space, and watered all my plants while I was gone. She sent tons of photos and numerous updates of Zo: pics galore of neighborhood walks and of playing in the apartment -- Zohar clearly adored her. Super friendly, super easy to communicate with, and she just made the whole thing stress-free. Would happily have her back anytime.”
