“I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.”
“Nicole was hosting Winter for 6 days. I was really lucky that she agreed to board my puppy. She did amazing care of my 9 month old puppy. That was our first experience and it went amazingly . I received daily reports with photos and videos from Nicole, Winter was like on vacation. Nicole followed all my instructions and even more. Definitely my favorite sitter for all my future trips.”
“Ashley was wonderful. Zena was right at home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Ashley and her family provided for Zena while we were out. I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter for their pet. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”
“Madeline took a great care of my pups. I was a little worried because my dog is a little picky about who he likes. Clearly Madeline won their hearts instantly! She took good pictures of them too, which means she interacted with my pups as if they were her own!”
“Nicole is the absolute best! Her two sweet little dogs are great companions for my two and her house is perfect for dogs. She goes the extra mile with my old beagle to make sure he doesn't get into everything (the nose!!!) and that he is comfortable. She has watched my dogs about 5 or 6 times now!”
“In July I had a last minute chance to take a quick vacation for 4 days. I needed a safe place for my dog Blue to stay while I was away. I came across Brian's profile, after checking his reviews and location I decided on Brian.I was comfortable with leaving my dog, he had other dogs to keep him company and Brian was nice and attentive to them.He also kept me posted with text and pics of Blue and his activities. Couldn't ask for a better outcome.”
“Eric did a wonderful job watching our senior dog! We received updates on our dog's stay and we look forward to booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!”
“Kanade is one of the best sitters I’ve ever booked for Apollo. She was extremely communicative throughout, sent loads of photos and videos, and gave me updates each evening. She and her partner took Apollo out for playtime and gave him lots of snuggles during his stay. They even threw him a little birthday party with extra play time and treats! She was also very flexible with pickup timing. Overall would love to use her services again in the future.”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Chloe was THE BEST! She was kind, patient, and very attentive to my very needy, old, anxious dog. Unfortunately my dog developed diarrhea the day after I dropped her off, and Chloe did a fantastic job handling the situation. She communicated with me clearly throughout the entire process and took such great care of my dog when she was sick. My dog was being extremely difficult, yet Chloe dealt with so many issues professionally and with compassion. My dog also instantly loved her which was a sign of how gentle and kind she is with animals. I would highly highly recommend Chloe and would definitely use her again to care for my dog!”
“Tony was great with my two doggies Molly and Mochi. He was also very communicative and sent me daily updates. I love that he sent me pictures and videos throughout the day so I could see that my doggies were happy and enjoying backyard time with Tony, Minnie, Diamond, Roxie and Charlie.”
“Gina was amazing! I was nervous about leaving Rosie as I hadn't done it before, but Gina was amazing and patient as Rosie and I both adjusted to being apart. She made sure to keep me updated with photos and updates on how Rosie was doing. I will definitely use Gina again the next time we go away”
“Kelly is the best! I actually feel like Isaac has fun every time he stays with Kelly, he always looks like such a happy boy in the pictures. It’s always good to know that someone is taking care of your pup the way you would at home and Kelly is that someone!”
“Rachel took great care of our dog for a weekend trip and she made the process super easy for us. Great communication with daily updates and videos and we know Enzo had fun hanging out with her Berner pup. Rachel was really flexible with the drop off and later than planned pick up times due to travel delays and made it stress free for us. Highly recommend!”
“Sara is as lovely as can be. Our furbabies (1 goldendoodle & 1 yorkie) felt right at home. She sent us updates often, shared pics, and provided feedback upon pickup (i.e. eating habits, sleeping habits, and behavior). We are so grateful that our pups now have a home away from home.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rhyeshona! Last minute booking, since I was going on a trip, but I felt very comfortable leaving my little one there with the family and all the other little dogs. Got daily updates with pictures and Lily made a lot of friends with the other dogs there. Would definitely book with Rhyeshona again!”

We had a sitter cancel last minute, and Mei was available to watch our dog Billie. Wow am I glad! Mei updated us constantly with pictures, and was very responsive to anything we needed. I could tell our dog was very comfortable with her, and all her needs were taken care of throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be reaching out to Mei again to watch our Billie!
German was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Hazel, during her first stay with him. It's always a relief to know your pet is in caring and capable hands. German was incredibly patient and gentle, and it was clear from the photos he sent that Hazel felt completely at ease and happy. He truly treated her like part of his own family. I highly recommend German and will definitely be using his services again!
Madeline is awesome! Our first stay with her was seamless! It was my first time leaving my dog for so long with an unfamiliar person but Madeline made us both feel so comfortable and at ease! She sent plenty of pics each day and lots of updates. Will book again!
Nicole and her partner were very nice, professional and eased the anxiety that I felt associated with leaving Autumn for a few days. They met with me and Autumn prior to her stay and introduced us to their dog to ensure that Autumn would be a good fit. They both answered all of my questions and updated me which pictures and informed me how Autumn was adjusting to her stay in their home. They were very understanding when my trip lasted an hour longer than expected and were able to accommodate the additional hour requested.
Julia was incredible! She handled my nervous beagle with ease and sent the absolute BEST pictures. Seriously, she should start a dog portrait gig on the side! Her dachshund Millie managed to get my dog out of her shell as she doesn’t usually play with other pups. Would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a sitter!
I used Sasha this time for two doggy daycare days while I needed to be elsewhere just during the day and once again she was wonderful. My dogs love her so much and go crazy when she comes over. She’s so reliable and so helpful and so friendly. Highly recommend!!!
Min is amazing! My dog absolutely loves Min & James + their two dogs. She provided updates all throughout the day with pictures and videos. My dog has some health issues & I felt at ease with him in her care. I felt as if she cared for Gatsby as if it was her own dog. Absolutely will use regularly!!
My dog couldn’t have stayed in a better place! It was his first time with Birol, and he warmed up within minutes. I loved getting photo and video updates throughout the day. Birol not only lets him on the furniture (which some sitters don’t) but also takes him on varied walks around the neighborhood so he can explore and sniff everything. I’ll be booking with Birol again soon!
