“Miranda is awesome! I felt completely comfortable with her caring for my sweet older rescue dog who makes herself at home on couches and beds. She was prompt in her communication, sent great photos, and just had a great vibe. We will definitely rebook when we need another sitter. Thanks Miranda!”


“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”


“So great to have peace of mind while we are travelling! Stella is our senior dog and can be particular with people, we feel incredibly lucky to be able to leave her and feel safe!”


“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”


“Really fantastic. Corey was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. Our pickle loved our time away and we were at ease knowing she was well taken care of. Will continue to use Corey and Robert for their amazing care!”


“Tilly stayed with Adam for a whole week and truly appreciated the services! I had some moving start and end times due to a last minute change to flying and Adam was very accommodating. She is happy to see him and makes me enjoy my trip much more knowing she seems very content and happy while I am away!”


“Caitlin and Max were amazing sitters. Very personable and flexible with my schedule. However, Bowie (their four-legged son) became Mocha’s new BFF. She already misses all three of them and she’s only been home about an hour. Thanks for watching Mocha!”


“Jonathon couldn’t have been a better choice to take care of our puppy, Beverly. She is a 95lb big baby mastiff who has never spent a day without us and needs a lot of attention and cuddles keep her happy. Our honeymoon was 12 days long and I was very nervous leaving her for that long. Jonathon sent us lots of pictures and it was very obvious that she was happy and safe in their care and allowed me to relax and enjoy our trip. Can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have found a sitter we trust with our precious very large baby!”


“Amanda was great with Cooper! She sent updates throughout the weekend we were gone and he was clearly enjoying his time. Would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”


“Makda did a great job with our boys. Super friendly and worked perfectly with our scheduling. Thanks again and you will be the first person I reach out to if I need a sitter again.”


“Sophie and her boyfriend were awesome with Mochi! They were so kind, communicative, and flexible with our drop off/pickup times. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and reliable home away from home for their pups! Thanks Sophie!!! 😊”


“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”


“Conor and family provided a safe and calm boarding experience for our active pup. Teagan came home calm and content. We received updates from Conor and our dog had fun playing with resident dog AJ. Thank you Conor for hosting Teagan!”


“I had a last minute emergency and had to leave town and my pup behind. Thankfully, Rachel and Vincent were accommodating and flexible! I got plenty of communication with questions and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Thank you so much!”


“Laura and Charles were a life savior watching our anxious pup during our ten day trip! She came back healthy and happy, and she warmed up to them more than anyone else. They were responsive whenever we reached out. We look forward to working with Laura and Charles again on our next trip!”


“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”



“Diana went above and beyond taking care of Pippin. He tends to display aggression when scared and she went out of her way to keep him in a calm environment. Once he warmed up she engaged with him doing his favorite activities. Thank you so much for taking care of our Pip!”
