Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!

Marshmallow had an amazing time! He didn’t want to leave when we came to get him. He was very tired when we got home and was the quietness he’s been, which is saying something for a 4 month old puppy!! Will definitely be coming back soon.

Kourtney is absolutely phenomenal! We were so worried because our usual Rover sitter was not available. Kourtney was very empathetic with our situation and made our CKCS fur baby feel comfortable. For those out there worried about their anxious pup with special needs, Kourtney is absolutely perfect and a brilliant sitter.

Amy and Grant are wonderful. They were welcoming and flexible with Ollie’s needs, especially as their own pup was recovering from an injury. They have a nice big yard for play, communicated regularly, and it was obvious they cared to make Ollie’s stay comfortable for him and their family.

Nadia was available last minute to take in my fur baby & kept great communication throughout my animal’s stay. My pup enjoyed being around the other animals & having room to roam. I felt extremely comfortable she was able to give me updates & answer any questions I had in a timely manner. I have already rebooked! ☺️💕

Allison is the best! This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s nothing short of wonderful. She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !

You want your dogs at Franceska’s! Wow, great house and backyard. Their dogs are great and our dogs became great friends. Franceska kept us up to date with pictures and let us know how they were doing daily. They had a great time. We have a senior dog and a puppy; they handled both with ease. Really great people to work with. Will have them take care of our dogs again!

Micaela was amazing! She asked how often I wanted to receive updates, and she would send a detailed update at the end of the day with photos and videos of how their day went. She made sure Peppa was having fun that weekend and got in lots of walks. She was exhausted when I picked her up, and she slept hard. Micaela was flexible with pickup and drop-off time, and I really appreciated the prompt communication.
