14. Hannah L.
“Hannah was great as always, she was super communicative, sent lots of great updates, and was overall great! Highly recomend and will be using again!”
15. Amy M.
“This was the first time that I used this service. It was the longest my dog has ever been separated from me and he was on a strict diet, so I was extremely selective in choosing a sitter. I appreciated the daily photos and I think my dog was able to adjust well since he is used to humans being with him most of the day. It appears that he learned to get along better with dogs while he was there. The hosts were patient, considerate, flexible and very good with dogs and their parents. I will definitely use them again when I am in the area.”
16. Cindy S.
“Cindy was amazing! Attentive to my dog and flexible with me! Highly recommend!”
17. Morgan & Brayden N.
“Morgan and Brayden were wonderful sitters. My partner and I had to coordinate a last-minute booking and the two of them were very accommodating and understanding! They hosted our dog for over a week and continuously updated us with photos and videos throughout the booking. I would definitely book with them again and would recommend their services to any pet parent who wants to know their family is in good hands.”
18. Christina N.
“I am be very picky about who looks after my baby. Christina is awesome and highly recommend. My dog had so much fun I don’t think he wanted to come home. Ten starts out of ten!”
19. Hilary R.
“Hillary was absolutely wonderful watching my pup Zephyr for the day. She sent pictures while Zeph was staying with her and kept me updated on details regarding how he was adjusting and feeling while in her care. It was clear to see how much she cared and prioritized my pups comfort over everything. We will absolutely be coming back and I look forward to zeph staying here again!!! :)”
20. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”
