“Tamara has watched my girl several times. She is the greatest when it comes to communication, trust and care when it comes to my girl. She is excellent to work with. She has been the greatest addition to my family, due to her professionalism and care. My dog absolutely LOVES spending time with Tamara and her pack.”

4. Esther V.
“We were a little concerned about Chibi, our chi-Pom-poo being away for an extended period. He had never been away from home and doesn't play much with other dogs at the daycare. Nick, Esther's husband, picked him up from the condo, and a short time later, texted a pic of my dog sitting quietly looking out the car window in his doggie car seat. Esther sends texts and pics several times daily and I can tell she sincerely loves what she does: taking care of her 3 dogs, mine and others. We will return from our trip in about 10 days, and I'm confident that Chibi would have had the best care possible. Thank you Esther and Nick!”
5. John M.

6. Karen R.
“Karen was wonderful! She took care of our dog on very short notice and pampered her with lots of walks and playing fetch. It was our first time leaving our dog away from home, but Karen sent lots of pictures and videos of our happy girl. She even fed our dog her special diet. We will definitely call Karen next time we need a home away from home for our Molly.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Rita and her care for my dog. This is the third time I've left Piper with her and her family for a week or longer and I have complete trust that Piper will be safe and loved while I'm gone. It's given me the ability to enjoy my vacation and not worry about how Piper is doing and that is extremely valuable!”
12. Rocio & Miwako Y.

15. Annie C.
“Annie was a GREAT sitter for our little princess. Punky got along so well with Riley and Chico. They all had a ball! Even though Punky either got excited, or wanted to mark her territory, Annie took it all in stride. She didn't make a big deal of it, even though it was a big deal to us. Punky never peed in any house before so we were very surprised when we were told she had an accident. Annie said Punky was lovable, adorable and followed her everywhere. THAT'S our Punky!! Thanks again Annie, Riley and little Chico, Punky can't want to come back!”
16. Terrie F.
“I had such a great experience boarding my 4 year old German Shepherd with Terrie! She helped make sure Remie and I felt comfortable with her care and communicated at every stage of the booking, boarding and after! We’ll get to see her again soon, and I know Remie will be well taken care of.”
17. Giocelis R.
“Amazing dog sitting experience. Received pictures of Roku throughout the stay of him playing, eating, and sleeping. When it was time tom come home, he didn’t want to leave.”
18. Genniver S.
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our 7 mo puppy. Genniver was kind and professional from the time I messaged her to the time we picked him up, sending multiple pictures and videos in between. She took our dog to the dog park and even slept on the couch at night so he wasn't alone. Genniver is an amazing pet sitter.”
19. Celeste N.
“Celeste treated our dog as if he was her own pet. She communicated very well and was very professional and demeanor and attitude. I will board our dog Diego with Celeste again. I strongly endorse Celeste to anyone who wants to feel safe and confident that their dog will be well cared for”
20. Sofia R.
“Sofía was great with Max! Her house has a big yard for him to run and play, and Max followed her pug around! She was very communicative and flexible, and was happy to accommodate his stubborn shih tzu quirks and cuddles him lots!”
