Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.

Sharon is incredible! Very proactive with update, and took wonderful care of our little guy. She was patient with him and that he’s still just a puppy and his potty training. Really appreciate all her grace, we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her!

I was so delighted with this couple who were lovely and took great care of my dog. He had a stunning backyard to relax in, he had other dogs to play with, and I was updated daily with cute pictures and stories. I would highly recommend Pei Li and my dog would too.

We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family.

Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.

5 stars for our experience with Mariola. She’s super communicative, so friendly and warm, and I know made it feel like a 2nd home for our dog! She offered helpful tips after observing his behavior for a few days. Her updates brought me so much joy each day. If we go away for an extended vacation again, I know exactly who to bring him to!

Eiko and her family were wonderful! My boy Valentino was very well taken care of and Eiko gave me peace of mind while I was off the grid camping/fishing with minimal reception. She provided daily updates so when I did get reception it provided me with comfort because Valentino has never been away from me. He was calm but happy to see me when I picked him up and you could tell he was well taken care of. Eiko and her family are my go to if/ when I need them again!

Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was looked after and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos. I was so nervous to leave my anxious pup but she made me feel completely at ease and it was clear he had such a great visit. Kelly clearly adores dogs and treats them like family. I feel so lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our boy !

Nicola and Michael were amazing! They took great care of our dog, Star, and were incredibly capable/caring in dealing with some unanticipated medical needs that came up for Star prior to us leaving on our trip. They were great communicators, and the daily updates were appreciated. It was so clear that Star had bonded with them and felt loved when she was there.

I had to leave my dog, Phoebe, for a few days while I traveled for work, and was a bit nervous as I only recently adopted her and she was going through separation anxiety. Sandy was great with her, sending photos every day and taking Phoebe on long walks with her dog, Bada. Phoebe and Bada are friends now and I’ve definitely found Phoebe’s new pals and will leave Phoebe in good hands with Sandy whenever I travel!
