“Dana was a great - absolutely fabulous - host to our baby girl. She had a great time and got many walks / much play time! He was also very flexible and kind when our travel plans blew up (twice), which we can’t thank him for enough!”


“Joseph did a wonderful job with my 4 month old puppy Penny. She is a lovely young girl, but can be a handful and is not completely house trained. He showed patience with her and was wonderful for me to interact with. I will be using him again.”

“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”

“Jess was great! She was very communicative and sent great pictures of our pup while we were away from her. Pick up and drop off were very easy and Jess was flexible with our timing. We already booked our next boarding for our pup!”

“Nancy and her husband took great care of Baloo for the weekend. I received frequent picture updates and was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands.”

“I had a great experience with Jing and Jeremy! They were very responsive and provided frequent updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It made me feel so comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Super kind and thoughtful, highly recommend!”

“Cannoli enjoys his stays with Tianyue! He always comes back happy, and he seems to love playing with the other dogs! Tianyue has been great about accommodating our last minute travel. She is very communicative and sends pictures!”

“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”

“Second time booking and very satisfied! They are great with ginger and she loves staying with them. Loved the creative updates! Thank you for taking care of ginger”

“Atticia is such a great dog mom!! She’s communicative, punctual, and takes great care of my puppy. I know from how excited he is every time to see her, and how he always comes home a chubby happy boy. It’s like going to grandma’s house!”

“Casey was amazing with our dogs, Cloe (7) and Luna (12)! It was our first time leaving them with someone outside the family, and she made us feel completely at ease. She even invited us to her home before the stay to help them transition smoothly. We got regular updates during our trip, and when she brought them home, they were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so thankful and will absolutely book with Casey again!”

“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”


“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”

“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”


“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”

Alec and Damien are superstar pet sitters! They took such great care of my dog while I was away. They communicated helpful updates and provided a really calm and fun environment for my slightly anxious pup, Poppy. I felt reassured while traveling that my dog was in good hands and feel really grateful that they were available to watch Poppy!

Fantastic experience with Scottie! He was incredibly attentive to Indy and very communicative. He made sure my pup had plenty of comfort, snuggles, a clean and welcoming home, and tons of fun. I also got some adorable photos throughout his stay. Extra props for having plenty of dog supplies on hand and the expertise to handle whatever might come up. Scottie is clearly a true animal lover, a great guy, and has a wonderful dog-friendly home away from hime. Indy was in excellent hands!

Allison took wonderful care of Dumpling for two weeks while we were away. Dumpling seemed very comfortable and happy with her, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. It was clear that Allison was attentive, caring, and made sure Dumpling was well taken care of throughout the stay. We came home to a happy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care she provided. We would definitely trust Allison with Dumpling again and highly recommend her!

Sonia was amazing with Frankie and had great communication the whole time. She made sure Frankie felt at home and kept her well entertained and active the entire time she was there for 5 days. Would definitely use her again as Frankie had the best the time. Highly recommend:)

We had a great experience leaving Sam with Robert. Leaving a dog behind is never easy for sure, but from day one, we had were comforted that he was treated like Robert's own dog, Tux. Communication was great throughout the entire stay (especially since we were halfway around the world), with regular updates and photos that showed that Sam was doing well. He came home calm, happy, and clearly cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommended!

Allie puppy sat our 2 year old Twix for the weekend, seems like they had a great time with each other! Allie was prompt and responsive, showed twix around town and followed the care instructions we had for Twix. Would definitely recommend and will plan to have her watch twix again sometime soon !
