“Margarita is amazing, she regularly updated me on my baby boy by posting pictures and videos every morning and evening. I was nervous initially but she put my anxiety to rest. Thank you Margarita ?”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Jesse, his family, and his dog Coco were amazing w/ Boba! I got consistent updates on Boba including pictures, when he ate, when he went outside, etc. i would not hesitate to have Jesse watch Boba again.”
“It was a pleasure to use Jiamin's services. She is compassionate, genuine and demonstrates a strong sense of care. She communicates clearly and provides a welcoming, pristine environment for my dog when I am away. I highly recommend her services and encourage others to book with confidence. Thanks Jiamin!!!”
“We were on vacation for a few days. We felt secure about our dog. I felt that our dog was left in good hands with Yvette. She was really wonderful and caring towards our dog. We really appreciate her handling of our dog during our vacation.”
“Isbath/Anika was such an awesome sitter. We were in a real pickle because we had booked a different sitter for when we were on vacation, and she was very wishy-washy about accepting the request. That other sitter left us out to dry, rejecting our booking the day before we left for our 10 day vacation. We put out the request and Anika was so quick and so helpful. She asked all the right questions that sitters should want to know about your dog. She was very accommodating to our situation and my dog had so much fun there! I got photos/videos every day and knew she was in good hands.”
“Jessica’s the best there is. I can tell she treats all dogs as if they were her own. Harper gets excited as we pull up to her neighborhood. Jessica updates us frequently with pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Dhruvit and his family were amazing! He sent tons of pictures, gave our rambunctious corgi plenty of outdoor time and lots of affection. We felt confident being away knowing that she was in good hands. Dhruvit was super communicative and flexible. We highly recommend him.”
“Barbra is an awesome host. She sent multiple pictures and responded messages quickly. She picked Tommy up and brought him back. Tommy seemed very happy on her place. Thank you so much!”
“This was the first time we ( since we got Ganix) were going on a long trip. As all parents can imagine it was a little stressful, but we knew Ganix enjoyed his time at Maureen’s and Maureen adored Ganix so we left him for 2 weeks! Maureen sent us so many pics every day and kept updating us on how Ganix was doing, what he was doing and made us feel like we were not that far. I am so grateful and can’t thank her enough for welcoming ganix into her home and taking care of him as her own little puppy 🥰”
