“Kelly took wonderful care of my two senior dogs. They can home happy and relaxed and showed no signs of stress. I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free because Kelly provided lots of photos, videos, and updates and I could see his happy my pups were. I am so grateful to have found Kelly and am looking forward to being able to enjoy weekends away again.”
2. Chad A.
“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
3. Danielle M.
“Danielle was amazing!! Took such great care of our pup Rosie, kept us up to date with plenty of pics and videos. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else and we are so incredibly appreciative of Danielle’s care and attention.”
4. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth took AMAZING care of our pup, Penny, during a recent 10-day trip. We got lots of pictures and updates that made it clear Penny was having the time of her life going on walks and hikes, having playtime, and getting lots of cuddles from the whole family. We'll absolutely be booking with Jeff and Beth again!”
5. Cassandra L.

6. Pablo S.
“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
7. Lee J.
“I wasn’t sure if my dog Toby would want to come home because I could tell he was having the time of his life all weekend long. I look forward to Toby spending more time at Lee’s home again soon!”
8. Alexandra E.

“Alejandra was so awesome! Very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Seemed like Cora was very well loved and cared for. All around great experience with Alejandra!”
10. Hy & Arlo K.
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
11. Sara B.
“Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.”

“Alexandra took great care of our dog while we went on a road trip.

Alexandra is also always accessible and accommodating, which made for a pleasant experience overall.”
14. Andrea L.
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”

17. Lilly R.
“This was my dog’s second time staying with Lilly and her husband. and when I dropped my dog off, I was so pleased to see how excited my dog was to see them again! Lilly made sure to keep my Pomeranian cool/away from the hot pavement and administered her medication with care. We will be back! 🙏”
18. Aden G.
“I can't recommend Aden enough as a dog sitter! Whenever I'm away on trips, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my dog is in his care. He always keeps me updated, sending regular pictures and updates so I know everything is going well. My dog absolutely loves him and is always excited to see him. Aden makes sure all of my dog's needs are met, from exercise and playtime to food, water, and his favorite toys. He even takes the time to work on commands and training with treats, which has really helped reinforce good behavior. I trust him completely with my dog, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
19. Kit Jon S.
“We really appreciated Kit as our dog sitter. She was much more thorough and concerned about all the care details for our little doggie which let us know that she really wanted to make sure he was in the best hands when we were away. When I arrived her own dog came out and greeted our dog in a very friendly, non-threatening way which made us realize he was going to be with a doggie friend, not just 'humans'! It seems Kit creates a safe, friendly, relaxed environment for any visiting dog. she also offered to go above and beyond with some extras. We recommend her highly.”
20. 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!”
