“Rima was wonderful! Thank you so much for watching my babies on short notice. They are small dogs and usually stay at home - I was so happy when I picked them up and they looked right at home with Rima.”
“Joerg and his pup, Lizzie, were excellent hosts for my dog. He returned home and was relaxed and happy! I will absolutely be booking with Joerg again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with them. They provided daily pictures and videos to update us on how our pup was doing. He was cared for so well. We would definitely use them again in the future!”
“Naomi and Johann helped to board Coco twice in a row. After 6 days Coco was excited to see me for a min when I picked her up but back to her old self right after and that’s exactly what you’d want - just like she only just took a walk with friends in the park. I’d be happy to bring her back next time!”
“Sophie (and Sean) did an amazing job watching our senior dog Whimsy! He had a great time and came back very relaxed and happy! We really appreciated all the photos and text updates about our boy ☺️”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”
“Ginny has stayed with Thao several times now. It is obvious that Ginny is welcome and treated like family. She always comes home happy and healthy. Ginny will go visit Thao in 2020 as well!”
“Mondo had an amazing time staying with Clarissa and her family… I think he wanted to stay longer! Clarissa kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay and sent cute photos showing all the fun he was having. I know my little guy was well cared for and I plan on booking with Clarissa whenever I go out of town in the future. Mondo and I would give 10 stars if we could!”
“Merrick took care of our dog for a long weekend. Communication was good and easy, and our dog came home afterwards very happy and settled. Very happy with this experience, and we will use Merrick again in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ron and Jeff were very accommodating for our last minute booking. We really appreciate them giving our pup, Kona, extra attention and love while we welcomed a baby into our family. Our dog needed the getaway and he came home very happy. They are great about sending us updates and pictures! Kona loves seeing them.”
“Vladimir and Laura were absolutely wonderful with our pup! They were great communicators, consistently keeping us updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our baby was in such caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—highly recommend!”
“First time working with them and they were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our two French bulldogs with Janette and family. Easy to communicate with and they sent us videos and pics every day! Will definitely book again!”
“Rico and his family are great. They always take excellent care of Rye, and this past weekend was no exception. Rye came to them with some stomach issues, but they were still willing to watch him and took such great care of him! He loves being at their home.”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”
“Trixie and Zac love it at Cunthia’s house! They love playing with other dogs and come home happy and tired from all the fun! I especially love the pictures of them while I’m away!”
“Marija was amazing! She sent a lot of pictures and updates during Rookie’s entire stay. It was so nice knowing she was safe and getting a lot of love while we were gone!”

Rebeca did an outstanding job with our nervous puppy. She was very patient with his puppy energy even as our dog unfortunately was not very well behaved. Rebeca did a great job keeping us up to date on everything going on and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend for anyone needing dog watching services.
Excellent care for our dog, Izzy! We received great updates and photos, and it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. We would absolutely trust them with Izzy again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Abaigael was amazing with Aya! She sent frequent updates and I could tell from the pictures that Aya was so happy with her and her family! Super friendly and communicative, I'm super grateful to know Aya was in great company! Oh and she has the cutest pup! Thanks again!
Jennifer took care of our exuberant shepherd mix for a week while we were out of town. She was always communicative and flexible with dropoff and pickup. We never had any worries and he always is excited to visit Jennifer. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!
My shiba Yuki had an amazing stay with Claire! He was spoiled with lots of backyard playtime and long walks. It’s always stressful traveling when I think about my dog but for the first time I had no worries about Yuki as I knew he was in great hands. Claire consistently sent updates throughout the day that made it my day to see him happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my needy baby!
Cheri was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! Niky was exceptionally well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough. Niky has a bunch of medicine needs and is an older senior dog so she needs a little extra care. Cheri was amazing about it all. Will have her watch Niky again soon!! Great experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Rima! She took great care of our dogs, Milo and Oreo, and our cat, Cleo, while we were away. They were all very happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She treated them like her own and gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave them, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!
Max had a great time! Cynthia was able to accommodate a relatively late booking request for us, and was quick and responsive when setting up a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout Max's stay and it was obvious he was having a lot of fun playing with the other dogs in her care. I would highly recommend Cynthia!
We had an excellent experience with Emily and Lauren, and we would absolutely book with them again. They went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was comfortable and cared for. They even followed all of her medical instructions perfectly and kept us thoughtfully updated without too many messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. What really stood out was how attentive and compassionate they were. They made sure our girl got all the care she needed and even slept with her to keep her calm and monitored overnight the way we normally would at home. It meant so much to know she was in such caring hands while we were away. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own and handle special care situations responsibly, we highly recommend them.
