1. Katie L.

“Katie watched our dog, who is almost 2, for a couple of nights recently. I was very comfortable dropping him off and leaving him with her and her family. I love the at home experience she gave him, as opposed to kennels. Our dog is on special food and she took great care to make sure he didn’t get into her pets’ food. We will definitely use Katie again to take care of Linus.”


2. Angela & Tommy P.

“Khanh and Tommy took wonderful care of my senior dog for several days while we were traveling. They sent multiple pictures a day of my dog being well cared for and enjoying himself with their own dogs. I was very relaxed knowing he was going to be in good hands with this very loving family. We will definitely consider having him stay with them again the next time we need a place for our dog. Thank you!”


3. MJ M.

“MJ was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating for a fairly last minute booking as well as both a changed drop off and pick up time. Our pup seemed to have a great time and we were kept up to date with photos of him during his stay. Highly recommend MJ!”


4. Allison Nicole M.

“Allison is a wonderful caretaker and the sweetest human to boot! My little spoiled poodle felt so at home and happy at his extended stay with her that I don't think he even missed his mum and we couldn't be more grateful for her expert and caring help!”


5. Cruz Maria D.

“Maria is a great sitter. She truly loves dogs and it reflects in the care she gives to them. Our dog was so happy being able to sit in a lap and enjoy playing with the other dogs. She came home happy and healthy thanks to Maria’s care!”


6. Karina S.


“Karina did a great job taking care of my pup. She was communicative and accommodative. My pup came home safe and tired. I would happily have Karina watch my pup again.”


7. Tyler S.

“My pup (Jameson) had such a good time that he did not want to come home. Tyler was great in answering any questions I had prior to dropping Jameson off and set up a meeting beforehand so Jameson could meet him and the dogs. Highly recommend Tyler for any pet watching needs!”


8. Michal & John R.

“We had a wonderful stay with Michal and John! From the time we met them we knew they would be a good fit for our dogs. My 2 Lab mixes had a great time playing with the other dogs. They loved the walks too! We highly recommend them! Thanks so much for all you did for my guys! Kyle”


9. Eleni F.

“Eleni was so responsive and sent so many adorable photos. She managed both Chicha and Dutch so well, which can be difficult as they have such distinctly different personalities, and such a vast age gap. Chicha for sure did not want to leave her place. She pulled me back almost immediately after we left, which must imply she had a great time! Thanks Eleni!”




10. Steve R.


“Steve was great! He and his wife made me feel comfortable right away. He sent me pictures throughout my pets stay. He is always very responsive getting back to me. It was great to see both my dogs so happy. Thanks Steve for taking such good care of my babies.”


11. Marc L.

“Marc helped us out in a bind with our 2 pups when I needed them watched over quickly for several days. One of our pups has seizures and Marc kept us in the know when our boy had an episode. We got pictures and daily updates. Overall a really good experience. Thanks so much Marc!”


12. Sonya P.

“Sonya cared for Penelope over Christmas break. She sent regular updates and even purchased Penelope a Christmas present! Sonya is a great sitter! Penelope can’t wait for her next visit.”


13. Triba M.

“This was our third booking with Triba and our dog’s first overnight stay - it’s so wonderful to have a sitter who we really trust & who our dog absolutely adores!”


14. Alex M.

“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”


15. Ciara A.

“Ciara is THE BEST hands down. She’s always got positive energy and treats your fur baby like her own! Sends so many pictures and videos to keep you updated on your pet. Don’t hesitate TO BOOK WITH THIS GIRL she’s truthfully amazing!”


16. Sean & Jill O.

“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”


17. Karen F.

“Karen is amazing! We can tell she loves our dog as much as we do and he has the most amazing time with her! When we're on vacation, he's on vacation at Karen's!”


18. Kristin S.


“Kristen was amazing! Cooper was spoiled with hikes and play time all week. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else, she treated him like he was her own, and inspired us to be better dog parents! We are looking forward to using her again.”


19. Heather & Norman R.

“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”




20. Nancy L.

“Nancy is phenomenal and my baby absolutely loved her. This is the first time I went away and wasn't consistently worried because I knew he was being cared for and loved the same way he would be at home.”
