“Shao is an exceptional dog sitter—reliable, attentive, and incredibly communicative. She consistently keeps me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which makes it so easy to relax knowing my dogs are happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with them and treats them with real thoughtfulness and care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Thank you, Shao!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Wei was amazing with my old lady Sally. She sent pictures and updates of Sally looking happy and comfortable, she followed all of my instructions and made me feel very confident that she was in good hands. I am in the process of rebooking with her next month. I absolutely recommend Wei to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Wei has a very calm and gentle energy that I admire and appreciate in someone taking care of my precious little girl! Thank you again!”
“Renee and Chris were outstanding! They agreed to a last minute request when I had an urgent need to fly home. We arranged a meet and greet very quickly to make sure our dogs were compatible. Chewie is a newly adopted rescue and he can be overwhelmed in new settings. He adapted quickly as Renee and Chris provided him with plenty of love, exercise, play time. I also received lots of updates which put me at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them!”
“Thank you so much!! She’s a great sitter and my puppy loved her. Very sweet and took care of my puppy while I had an emergency. Please don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Kida has the second time staying with Vanda. My dog was happy seeing her when we dropped him off. That says he was well taken care of. Appreciate daily photos from Vanda. Kida was in good care.”
“William boarded Zeke during the Christmas holiday. This was our first time boarding with him and everything went perfectly. William responds quickly to all communications. Meeting William for the first time and then setting up the boarding was easy. While we were away, we received a texted picture of Zeke almost every day. We've already booked boarding for our next upcoming trip. Strongly recommend William!”
“Communication from the get go was great and I was proactively given regular photo and video updates. Oukley seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs and seemed well taken care of. Would book with Yu-Liang and Yu-Ting again.”
“I had a last minute change for my trip and couldn’t bring my dog anymore. I messaged Cynthia within a few hours of having to leave and she was super responsive, very flexible and agreed to watch my dog for the weekend. I picked my pup up and she was tired and happy.”
“We received daily videos. It was a rainy weekend, so they couldn’t get out much. My dog was happy in the videos and it seemed like she didn’t want to go home when we picked her up. Since this was our first time using this sitter, we met up beforehand.”
“Ouhan is great!! She sent me pics and videos of my baby ❤️ She’s very trustworthy so i knew my baby was in good hands And she has a pet of her own who is a lovable dog (Boba). Overall I recommend her to anyone who wants their babies to be well taken care of! Thank you!!!!”
“Gordon and Allison are awesome. They will make you completely at ease with your pets stay. They text updates and pictures regularly and took such good care of Willis. I definitely will be using them from now on.”
“Regina made things easy for us on our overnight trip last weekend — she responded quickly and was able to watch our dog Nemo on just a few days notice after a quick meet-and-greet. Nemo got along well with her dog Ace and definitely had a good time staying with Regina. Thanks Regina!”
“Yasmim was AMAZING. She was so flexible to help us with pick up and drop off for boarding, so communicative, sent lots of photos, and clearly Willa loved her!! Would definitely book again!”
“Yvonne and her partner were fantastic. They watched our two dogs on two separate occasions (~4 days and then ~4 weeks) and we felt our pups were in great hands. We received regular updates and saw our pups happy and well-cared for. We are so lucky to have found Yvonne!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love Leticia! We’ve used her before and continue to have the best experience every time. This was our first time leaving our dogs for such a long period, and she made us feel completely comfortable and stress-free. Her communication is amazing, and she sends daily pictures and updates that we look forward to every day. It’s so clear how much she cares for our dogs, and we always know they’re in the best hands with her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and will definitely continue booking with her in the future!
I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!
Our experience was wonderful! Yu-Liang and Yi-ting took such great care of my pup and really went above and beyond by sending regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, but they were incredibly patient and made her feel safe and comfortable. I could tell she was in caring, capable hands the whole time. Highly recommend!
Christine was excellent caretaker for my Ivy (Siberian Husky). She has a spacious backyard, so that Ivy can roam around and play. Ivy also got to play a lot of Obi (Christine’s dog)! Expect to receive detailed updates of your pup’s stay and Christine and wonderful picture to go along with them!
Simon took great care of my pup, Panchito, throughout his 4 night stay. Simon regularly sent photos and some updates to let me know how my pup was doing, which was helpful because this was my pup's first time with Simon. When I picked him up, it was clear that Panchito was very happy with Simon as my pup first greeted me then went and shared his happiness with Simon too. I give Simon 5 stars and highly recommend him as a sitter. He tunes into your furry one and it shows.
Karla was amazing with my Penny! At drop off, Penny was very nervous and it took awhile for her to warm up. Karla was very patient and understanding that Penny needed time as this was her very first boarding experience as well. Karla made sure she kept me updated and also sent me photos while I was away. I am very happy with Karla’s help with Penny and would definitely book her again the next time we are away! Thank you Karla!
This was my first time with Francis for my pet Jersey. Francis was very responsive all throughout Jersey’s stay for the last 11 days. Also very flexible with my requests. He sent daily pictures on Jersey. Seemed happy with him. Will recommend him to others in need of a Dogsitter.
