“excellent dog sitter! Flexible and patient with my schedule and Dog needs. I didn't have to worry at all. My dog had a blast at the dog park and going for various walks and making friends. Responsive, kind, considerate, responsible, caring, highly recommend.”


2. Laura S.

“Laura was amazing with our one year-old black lab. She took him on walks and to the dog park every day. She sent us so many wonderful pictures and looked like Oakley was having the time of his life. We enjoyed our vacation and think Oakley had an even better time staying at Laura‘s house!😀”

“It was a pleasure working with Zwany and Leandro. They were very considerate and professional. They asked all the right questions before watching Jane. Jane enjoyed her stay.

I would feel very comfortable having them watch Jane in the future.”

18. Jieming C.

“As dog owners, we all know how hard it can be to leave our little ones behind when we travel. I’m so happy to have finally found someone I can trust to ensure Edison is loved and cared for while we’re away. Jieming and his wife, Lauren, are incredibly caring, kind, and thoughtful. They took excellent care of Edison and kept us updated with constant photo updates. From the pictures, it was clear that Edison was receiving so much love, having fun, and truly happy. I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!”


19. Anthony C.


“I found Anthony with just a few days before leaving for Christmas Holiday! He responded within a few minutes, which I really appreciate. He took really good care of my Cuervo and even put up with all his "accidents" with love! What I liked the most about Anthony is that I could see he was really loving being with Cuervo; it's not just a job but he loves doing it and that gave me great confidence. You can tell Anthony loooves animals”


20. Winn C.

“Winn was the best to work with! He was extremely responsive to messages, met us for a meet and greet with our pup to get her comfortable with his space. He was attentive to our pup paying close attention to her temperament and making sure she felt comfortable in his space. She is wary of new people but warmed up to him nicely. Highly recommend Winn and we will be returning clients for sure.”
