“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Milena took amazing care of our dog while I was in the hospital to have our daughter. She was flexible given the circumstances and treated my pup like one of the family. I can’t thank or recommend her enough!”
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the entire time I was away, sending plenty of pictures and messages so I knew my pet was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, and it gave me real peace of mind. My pet looked relaxed and comfortable in every photo, which says a lot about how attentive and loving she is. I would definitely trust Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Amazing stay with Andria! Our dog was well looked after. We received regular updates and pictures of him. Can’t wait to go on our next vacation and know we have someone loving he can stay with.”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Ninoska is always so wonderful and my pup loves being at her place. Grateful for all the activity he has over there. I take it as a good sign when he comes home and sleeps well! Highly recommend”
“Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Manuel is amazing! This is the third time he has watched Ruby, and I couldn’t be more comfortable leaving her in his care. Ruby can be a little difficult at times and Manuel is very patient and understanding. He updates you daily and is very accommodating. He is the best choice when deciding who to leave your fur baby with!”
“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Lovely family who do this for the love of dogs more than anything. They kept his schedule as requested , Diana was extremely diligent and ensured she asked all the right questions about scooby to provide the best first experience for scooby and kept us informed about scooby throughout the stay. Their son is caring towards dogs knows how to interact with dogs. I am glad to have found them and would trust them to take care of my pet. Highly recommend Diana & Harish to anyone who is looking for genuine caretakers who can provide a second home to your pet while you are away.”
“She was extremely patient and kind. I’m a new time pet mom and I had a lot’s of anxiety about leaving my 8 months old Cockapoo. She made me feel super secure and her communication was beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Stacia watched my Maxwell for 5 days. She truly is an Angel! My Max is a senior and she knew exactly how to care for him. He was anxious and had an upset stomach the first few days and she loved on him and made special foods to help his stomach. He did so well thanks to Stacia. She loved him and made him feel all the comforts of home. I will look no further when need a sitter for Max, Stacia is it. I will always use her from this point on. A true GEM! Thanks so much Stacia.”

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.
Milo had a great time! Our pup is energetic and he got plenty of exercise! They were informative and checked in once at least once a day with information, photos and videos which we really appreciated! Looking forward to booking with them again soon - actually about to ask about a weekend in a few weeks!
This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!
I’m so thankful for Misty! She took such wonderful care of my dog, and I could tell right away that she was happy, comfortable, and well loved while with her. She came back cheerful, relaxed, and full of tail wags. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands, with much pictures . Misty is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!
This was my first time booking with Angel, and I was a little nervous at first because I have a hard time booking with someone new, but he quickly put my mind at ease. I never once had to worry about whether Lola was being loved and cared for. He even gave her a bath, which I really appreciated since I wasn’t able to do it before her stay. Lola has stayed with other sitters and no one has ever done that. It really showed me that Angel is very caring of the pets he cares for and isn’t just doing this for the money, he genuinely loves animals. He also sent me plenty of photos daily and it was clear that Lola was happy, comfortable, and having the time of her life. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
