1. Steven L.

“Steven is very passionate and caring with pets and we really liked their place and very well fenced and good backyard play area for dogs. He is very proactive in sharing pictures and updates about our dog during his stay. I will 100% recommend Steven for boarding your pets with him. Really hats off for your dedication Steven. We can now happily plan for our future vacations, leaving our dog in your safe hands 😊”


2. Noria L.

“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”

“I left my Kane with Indrani and her family and their family dog buddy and Kane was in great hands with all of them!! She updated me with pictures and videos through his boarding. I rebooked her so fast and I’d do it again thank you for everything!!”


4. Kristen R.

“Kristen was wonderful! You can tell right off the bat how much she loves and knows dogs. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She’s extremely responsive and sends pics and videos. My dog had a lot of fun playing with her dog Cashew and her adorable son. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kristen in the future!”


5. Whitney & Michael T.

“As always, Whitney and Michael took the best care of our two doggies! The dogs are comfortable with them, and they keep us updated along the way. Their kids also do great with the dogs, and their own doggies get along well with ours. We will continue to use Whitney and Michael for future stays. Don’t hesitate to try them out!”


6. Maureen W.

“Maureen was an absolutely wonderful caregiver to Rocky! She was extremely accommodating of us dropping him off later in the day and picking him up early. She sent us updates, even though he didn't stay with her for long and eased our worries! We would highly recommend!”


7. Tao Q.

“Once again, we could not be happier with our boarding experience with Mr. Tao. Being away on vacation, it is such a relief to get regular updates on our dogs along with pictures of them having a great time. Mr. Tao and his family take excellent care of our dogs and are excellent at communicating regularly. The dogs seemed so relaxed when we picked them up which tells us that they had a vacation of their own and were very well take care of. Thank you Mr. Tao!!”


8. Jiyao Z.

“Bella really enjoyed herself. They were incredibly kind and they sent me many pictures and videos. It was clear from that that Bella was really having a good time. The next time I go away I would definitely use them”


9. Lisa F.


“Our dog had a wonderful vacation with Lisa and family. He misses his buddy, Bear. We had a relaxing vacation knowing he was well taken care of.”


10. Purvi P.

“Purvi was great with my young dog- he had a great time and Purvi kept us updated about how he was doing while we were away. Will definitely ask Purvi to watch him again!”


11. Jaimie G.


“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”


12. Tom Z.

“Shadow looked to be well taken care of during his stay. Tom took him on some long walks, spent plenty of time playing with him and kept us updated with pictures. We would hire Tom again to watch Shadow.”


13. Maureen L.

“Maureen did a tremendous job of watching my fur baby Bruno during his overnight stay. I found her to be a very kind, warm hearted and responsible person who truly enjoys taking care for animals. It was very easy to communicate with her and she shared many pictures and videos and also sent many updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend Maureen for dog sitting.”


14. Yvette T.


“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Yvette! Our Kirbie loves being with her and the environment she provides. Yvette sent us videos and photos with updates throughout the day. We have already booked our next session with her.”


15. Victoria H.

“Victoria has been such a gift to my dog Tabb and I. I am temporarily in the area for work and Victoria walks my 15yo terrier Tabb. She also was willing to watch Tabb for a few days while I was away. She has been kind, responsive, punctual, and accommodating. I highly recommend her.”


16. Abigail R.

“Abigail was wonderful. They had a spacious house and backyard for the dogs to play in and made him feel right at home. Would highly recommend!”


17. Kimberly R.

20. Jackie M.

“Jackie is the best sitter for your dog if you need peace of mind, safety, love, accountability, and everything that is needed for a great dogsitter! We were very nervous about leaving our baby and visited many dog sitters before finding Jackie. Immediately we trusted her and saw in her the warmth and attention and professionalism that we needed. She is well knowledged with all dogs and works with you and according to your specific dog's needs. Her home is a perfect environment and she communicates wonderfully. She is a responsible and calm sitter who will present you with zero red flags. Most importantly is the peace of mind you will get knowing that your dog is getting the protection and the love and caring warmth that you can just sense. Affection. Our dog sensed her safety and love and took to her right away (which he rarely does with new people) It is hard to find that peace of mind especially if your dog is a child to you. Trust me completely. Jackie saved us from worry and nothing means more than knowing that your pet will get loved and cared for and treated the way you treat your pet yourself. She is affectionate and sweet and also relaxed enough to allow your dog to sleep with her and take over the home...being "chill" is also important because you dont want your dog to suddenly have strict rules and to be afraid of a new environment with new rules. Jackie is very relaxed and will not be strict or demanding of your dog. She is attentive to the food needs, senior needs, bathroom habits, anything that is needed she attends to. But in a gentle and correct way. We didn't want our dog to suddenly be in a strict environment with a strict new person. She provides the opposite. Just a safe and loving home... but with a sitter that watches your dog and provides the care ..not halfway but whole and responsibly. I am a worried and concerned and judgemental dog mom who wanted only the best for our baby. I was naturally wary of who I was choosing since it meant so much. So believe me completely when I tell you that if you are discerning too ..but want a wonderful, warm, safe, professional environment for peace of mind and a good home while you are away so you dont have to call a million times and worry and wonder... Jackie is the answer. We will leave him with her in a heartbeat again without any worries. Nothing can buy peace of mind and trust. She was a true find for us. We got lucky.”
