“Ted is amazing! We would gladly leave our dog in his care again the next time we need a sitter. He sent daily updates and went above and beyond to ensure our dog wasn’t happy.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”
“Pluto had an amazing time with Ruya and Aybark! I was nervous to leave him in boarding as he has separation anxiety, but they took such good care of him and made him feel at ease. It was also very easy to keep in touch and they sent pictures of him throughout his stay. Overall, a great experience!”
“Melanie was an incredible dog sitter! They were extremely conscientious and my dog was clearly thrilled to have their company. They checked in about anything unusual and sent lots of super cute photos and videos. They even stepped in to help out when we had an unexpected problem with our fridge, and saved us from potential damage to our property! Mel is is a delight and your pet will think so too!”
“Angela was awesome with Maple. She gave daily updates and made sure that my very active dog was able to get her energy out every day. Would highly recommend/rebook in the future!”
“Megan was wonderful throughout the entire process. We got picture updates every day and he was absolutely loving all the walks and cuddles. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”
“Hanna was friendly and accommodating right from booking. She was great to work with. We picked up Ollie, our 13 week old puppy, after a long day away, and he was so happy and calm (rare and impressive for a puppy!) It's clear he was well cared for and got tons of attention. We will be using Hanna for dog care whenever possible in the future!”
“Kingsley loves visiting with Karina. We are so impressed with her that we booked two weekends in a row! She has become our go-to sitter whenever our travel plans prohibit us from taking King with us.”
“We are so lucky we found Laura! She was wonderful with Biscuit. She was flexible, communicative, helpful, and great with our pup! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Nate was exceptionally tentative with the dogs and extremely communicative. Sky and Winnie had a wonderful time and we would definitely want to book with Nate again!”
“Ying was excellent with my pup Rufus. She sent me great updates and her dog Pancho was the perfect companion:) I highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”
“I can’t put into words how grateful I am to Yunlou for the incredible love and care he showed Uva. He treated her like his very own, showering her with so much attention and affection. I could tell she felt so comfortable and happy with him. Yunlou sent me the sweetest videos and photos that brought such peace of mind while I was away. Seeing Uva so happy melted my heart! She absolutely adores him, and honestly, so do I for the care he provided. I’ll never have to think twice about who to call when I need a pet sitter again. Yunlou, thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving my little girl like she was yours. You’re truly one of a kind!”
“Louisa did a great job with Comet - kept me up to date on how things were going; sent some (but not too many) pictures, and responded quickly to any messages I sent her. Comet didn’t want to leave!”
“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.”
