Ruby had a terrific stay with Anthony. He is very responsive throughout the booking process and sent me pictures during the stay to set my mind at ease. Anthony went above and beyond calming Ruby when the 4th of July fireworks spooked her. Thanks again! This was our 2nd time using Anthony and already have another visit booked.

Charlie had a great 10 day stay with Alec and Damien. Communication was fast and efficient. It was Charlie’s first time staying with someone who wasn’t family or friends, but after the meet and greet I knew that they would take great care of him. I received updates (with pictures) while on my vacation and I would choose them again if needed. Highly recommend them to care for your dog as one of their own.

Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.

Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.

Dana was attentive and responsive. I needed a last minute sitter and didn’t have time to interview him in person but over the phone his presence and knowledge made me feel comfortable and while I was away he answered all of my messages and sent video and photos to ease my mind. Roux n Bleu were obviously comfortable with him and came home happy, healthy and sleepy. I’m very appreciative and will be hiring Dana again

Jason is the absolute best!!! He and his partner took such great care of our pups and were communicating constantly. They treated our kids like their own and took them for walks and runs all the time. They sent many pictures every day and kept us updated on how they were doing. Would 100% recommend!!

I was in a bit of a pickle and needed someone to take care of my fur baby with short notice. Cora was very quick to respond in my time of need. She was extremely communicative leading up to the stay and this continued while Knox was in her care. I received several pictures that perfectly illustrated how happy he was due to her great care. I would 100% use Cora again (hopefully with a little more of a heads up).

Bethany was amazing! She sent me pictures of Waffles throughout his stay, from playing to napping and going on walks. She kept up updated on how he was doing, and made sure I knew he was fine. She was also really flexible about drop off and pick up time. I felt completely comfortable with Bethany and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommended!

Vien is an exceptional pet caregiver who goes above and beyond to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. She is very attentive, kind, and is very passionate about animals. I feel at ease for when Vien took care of my dog, making sure to take him out for walks, feeding him and playing with him as well. I feel safe when my pet is in her care. I couldn’t ask for a more reliable, trustworthy, and loving sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding pet care!

Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!

We were looking for someone who could give Roux, our 6 year old, suspected sheep dog mix, a personalized boarding experience. In the past each time we picked her up from a kennel stay, she came back stressed, and it legitimately took her a few days to a week to settle back to her usual self. Mark passed the vibe test as soon as he and Roux met for the first time, and after only 24 hours, I knew we had lucked out with a great sitter. Mark shared regular updates via text, video, and pictures. He regularly walked Roux, played with her, and the care and attention clearly showed when we picked Roux up after 8 days. As usual Roux was very excited to be picked up and taken home, but this time, thank God, she was not stressed! She was happy, looked good, and was not high strung as she usually is after a stay at the kennel. Thank you so much, Mark. You were exactly what we were looking for, someone who would love Roux and take care of her just as we would. We promise to bring Roux by for visits and long walks! Cheers~
