1. Karen M.
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”
2. Karen & Hisako N.
“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog Bennett! We’ve never had such a kind and caring pet sitter that we trusted so easily! We received frequent updates and never had any doubt about the level of care our dog was receiving! I 100% recommend Karen and will definitely book again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”
3. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer took great care of my 6 year old dachshund, Winston while I was on vacation for a week. He can be a bit of an anxious boy so I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. She had a good handful of other dogs there, but sounds like she did a great job to make sure everyone got along and was comfy!”
4. Mary C.
“This is Max’s second time hanging with Mary - running errands, getting sunshine on her rooftop garden (or back patio, or back yard), playing with the neighbor dog. Mary sends JUST the right amount of check ins so that I don’t miss my little guy TOO much cuz I know he’s having fun. My pup takes daily meds and I really trust her to make sure he’s well taken care of & that any unusual behaviors are flagged to me. Feels good to know my pup has a village of people keeping him healthy and happy! Thanks Mary, looking forward to the next one :)”
5. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth were wonderful pug sitters. We got lots of updates and photos on his stay for 3 nights. It looked like he got a lot of attention. Would book again!”
6. Alma Luana C.
“Alma and her husband took good care of our dog while we were away for 8 days. Appreciate the photos they sent and quick responses to my questions.”
7. Michelle K.
“My 1 year old pup who is generally nervous around new people was well cared for by Michelle and her pup! I’ll definitely be booking with Michelle in the future!”
8. Mariola P.
“Thanks so much Mariola, I really appreciate you watching Chica! I was very comforted by the time you took to ask nuanced questions about Chica’s needs and behavior. Normally I’m a little stressed when Chica is with a sitter, with Mariola I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!! ??”
9. Alexis A.
“We boarded our dog, Tara with Alexis while we went away on a trip. Alexis checked in with us daily on Tara’s stay. She sent pictures and let us know Tara got her medication on time. We had a great trip knowing Alexis was taking such great care of Tara, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Overall, it has been a GREAT experience working with Alexis and we absolutely suggest her to others.”
10. Lee J.
“Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!”
11. Eiko S.
“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”
12. Ellie & Jurre R.
“Reno had a great time with Ellie and Jurre, their cats, and the other dogs they boarded. We got regular updates, he had lots of different things to do, and they were patient with him during a lot of rain.”
13. Sara B.
“Sara is so intuitive to reading pups and bringing them joy. A true skilled care giver. You dog will get long and beautiful walks, and lots of attention.”
14. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
15. Anthony A.
“I can't recommend Anthony and Nikita, enough as dog sitters! They went above and beyond in caring for my pup during the holiday season. They were incredibly attentive, showering her with love, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. She had so much fun during her stay, especially with personalized outings to dog parks where she met new pups and people. They were always closely monitoring her and making sure she was safe and happy. I also loved receiving adorable photo updates that showed just how much she was enjoying her time. She was the happiest she’s ever been while I was away, and I truly felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. If you're looking for top-notch dog sitters, Anthony and Nikita are the perfect choice!”
16. April L.
“Our Mimi had her first overnight with April. Everything went great. April even constructed a ramp so Mimi could go up and down the bed without jumping. She is still in-coordinated after spinal cord surgery. This was meant to be a rehearsal before a 2-week boarding at the end of the month. We are so happy to know Mimi will be in good hands.”
17. Paula R.
“Super communicative and caring. Detailed messages of how she was doing with some cute photos. Even bathed our dog when she decided to roll in poop. Yikes!”
18. Hanna T.
“Hanna is a very thoughtful and caring dog sitter. So glad we found you, Hanna! She watched my little pup for two weeks and he was so happy in her care. Highly recommend.”
19. Danielle M.
“I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She was the perfect dog sitter for Nova while I was away on my bachelorette trip. Danielle went above and beyond to care for Nova, keeping me updated daily and even surprising her with a lovely dog vest. Not only did she pamper Nova, but she also gave her a bath, leaving Nova smelling amazing and with soft, fluffy fur. I truly appreciate Danielle's exceptional care and attention to detail. I would rate her 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
20. Melina B.
“Melina was great! I really appreciated the proactive communications and updates during Zeke’s stay. He was well cared for and a happy camper upon his return.”
