“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“Jennifer and Ken were so great with my timid rescue dog! They were extremely communicative and sent me an update with pictures every day and even took her on a hike for some extra exercise. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking in the future if needed!”


“Ponyo did an amazing job keeping our Olive happy, healthy, and engaged during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures each day, mixing useful information (poop quality and quantity) with adorable beagle faces around the yard. We are so grateful for the time she spent with Olive!”

“Danielle and Joy are wonderful! My dog can be a nervous pup and she absolutely adore them both. This was their third time sitting, her longest stay, over a week, and I was so confident that she was in the best hands. Will definetely be booking again!”

“Layla always loves going to Regina’s! When I pack her bag to head over there she gets really excited and gets the zoomies :) I always trust Regina with taking care of Layla and love all the pics she sends over!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”

“Thu was very communicative and clearly cared about my pups being happy and comfortable in her space! I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent, and I know Paolo loved getting a bath.”

“Catherine was excellent! She was very prepared and comfortable working with our dog. She sent plenty of photos and videos and took our dog on long walks to exercise him. We felt very assured and would definitely book with her again. Thanks, Catherine!”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.”

“Lauren was amazing, and will absolutely use her again to watch my pup. She was great at communicating and sent lots of great photos. My dog loved her dog, and I think is coming home a happy and tired doggie!”

“Randsell was super communicative and was very caring! I could tell our cat was very reluctant in parting ways with her when I went to pick him up. I'm very grateful she was available last minute for our trip to cat sit.”

“I couldn’t recommend Mengyuan highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Mengyuan sent regular updates and adorable photos, which kept me completely at ease. She even cooked beef for my dog! Coco came home happy, healthy, and clearly bonded to them—which says a lot, as she can be a bit shy with new people. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thorough to care for your pup, look no further! I’ll definitely be booking with Mengyuan again.”

“Sharon & Akira took great care of my senior dog! They were very thorough during the meet and greet. I received daily updates and my sweet girl was tired and happy when I picked her up.”

“Thank you so much! You were great in sending me pictures and being flexible with drop off and pick up times. And thank you for actually getting him to eat and finding a better way to serve his food! I would definitely recommend Xiaohui for dog sitting and will try to hire her again”

“Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★”

AJ was wonderful with our dog Bo for a full 2 weeks! We were traveling internationally so not the most available given the time difference but AJ was super communicative and sent loads of updates. They took such great care of Bo - in the extreme heat, when he got a foxtail in his foot, when he needed brushing. We felt Bo was well cared for and loved while we were away, letting us truly relax while on vacation.

My Yorkie was very well taken care of and came home calm, happy, and tired, which is always a great sign! I’m so glad I was able to leave him in Estefania’s care. She was super easy to work with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. I felt confident that he was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Incredible dog sitter! Zhongni was incredibly attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide regular photo updates, she also took some of my favorite photos of him ever. I highly recommend Zhongni if you’re ever in need of a sitter!

Our pup had another great stay with Amy! We can tell that he is very comfortable with her and she takes great care, which makes us feel at ease when we travel. Amy is an excellent communicator, is very flexible, and always sends lots of sweet pics and updates! We will continue to book stays with her when we travel in the future. Thanks Amy!!
