“Tonisa was an awesome sitter for Koda. This was Koda’s first time being away from us for such a long period of time so i was apprehensive but after meeting Tonisa I felt at ease. During Koda’s stay, Tonisa sent frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
“Kamiah and Cassius are wonderful. Compassionate, prompt, and professional. My dog came home calm and happy. I look forward to booking with them again!”
“"Brandon has watched my dog, Cookie, three times now, and each time has been fantastic. He consistently provides excellent care, ensuring Cookie is happy and well-taken care of. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter and highly recommend Brandon for his reliable and professional service!"”
“She was amazing! I was nervous to leave Ana because I have never left her for longer than a day but Bola did great! She sent me photos everyday and always responded when I texted. Definitely using her again!”
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“It was our first time using Rover and having Elizabeth watch our very energetic 8 month old Lab/Hound Pup. I cannot recommend highly enough the care that our dog Oliver received while we were gone. Elizabeth and her family took such loving care of our dog while we were away with lots of walks, snuggles, and a few treats too :) Thank you for watching our pup while we were gone and I know next time we are away Oliver will be so happy to spend time with his new friends!”
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
“Harlow had a wonderful stay! I appreciate you helping her fit into your pack and letting me know how well it was going. It made my trip so peaceful to know Harlow was having a blast with you! Thank you!”
“Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!”
“This is my second time letting Janet watch my dog Charlie. It was great, she sent plenty of pictures and Charlie is really comfortable with Janet. Another great visit!”
“Mercedes has been nothing but wonderful. She took great care of our puppy who was only 5 months old. There was never a moment I had to worry about my dog not being in good care. She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and ensured us she was having a great time. She took our puppy on many walks and played with her lots! Her husband and her kids also loved the dog and got many pictures of them cuddling with her. I cannot recommend her enough, and went above and beyond! Mercedes is passionate about taking care of dogs and her kids and husband also have a deep love for animals. Next time we got out of town she will be the first person we call and recommend her to all our family and friends!”
“Ania was fantastic and our pup clearly loved spending the weekend with her! She took her to play fetch every day and was flexible with us on our return home. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was my third time booking with Iman and she has been great every time. This was my first time not spending the holidays with my baby and she sent holiday pics and kept me updated throughout his stay on how he was doing. I was really nervous because this was the longest I’ve ever had to leave him, but when I picked him up he was super calm and happy. Definitely will continue booking Iman!”
“Ra'eesa kept our doggy while we were out of town. I didn't have to worry about him. He was in good hands with her. She is so nice! She sent pics and videos. Will definitely use her again.”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Katrina is an amazing caregiver. Incredibly thoughtful and caring. Excellent communication. Fun pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Katrina watching my little one 🐶🙏”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”

Dominique was super professional with Zeus. It was our first time booking with her and she asked all the right questions concerning our baby ahead of time and during the booking. This made me feel more comfortable as a dog mom dropping off our baby for the first time. I am planning on using Dominique's services again in the near future. Dominique made sure that I got daily updates via pics/videos on how Zeus was doing. Overall, a very positive experience and I would recommend booking for anyone thinking of booking.
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our Nina! Agustina took care of her for 10 days, and from the very first moment, it was clear that Nina was in the most loving and capable hands. Agustina sent us regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Nina up, she was happy, well-fed, and clearly had the time of her life. You can tell Agustina genuinely loves animals. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Agustina!
Elizabeth is great! Bleu clearly had a wonderful time. She can struggle with anxiety and want feeling great but Elizabeth managed all of that and helped make bleu comfortable. I especially appreciated Elizabeth’s love and knowledge of pits which helped me to know she was with someone who understood her and would take great care of her.
I had a great experience with this person taking care of my dog. They are a very kind and responsible person, and they truly care about animals. They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.
Destine was able to watch Louie on short notice and flexible to make the situation work. Lou has needed daily cleaning of his cheek where an abscess was drained and Destine was very attentive with this. She took him on walks, gave some of his favorite treats, and overall made sure he was comfy and happy the best she could.
