It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!

Mo was a wonderful sitter. Great energy, great communication, and the boys took to him immediately, which doesn't always happen. Took great care of the house as well. I'd feel very comfortable leaving my pups with Mo again. Will definitely rebook.

Arantxa was so amazing with Marley ♥️ Marley can initially come off quite stand off ish but Arantxa was so patient and willing to work with and love her through it, we were so grateful! I also have to mention Arantxa’s communication is top tier and gave me SO much piece of mind while away from our girl. Fast replies and consistent updates makes the biggest difference for us dog parents and we were so grateful for that! ♥️

Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.

This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.

Rasika was such a lifesaver for us. She stepped in last minute over a holiday and took incredible care of our dogs. She brought them treats, left the house spotless, and sent us daily updates and photos - which honestly did wonders for my anxiety haha. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and our pups were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.

Woody was pawsitively the best dog sitter! We received daily updates, pictures and videos of our pack enjoying Woody’s company. We have four senior dogs that require a bit more patience and care now that they are in their golden years, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Woody and will book again!

There were also some small things I needed done around the house that she was able to take care of for me with no hesitation. I'd definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
