“We would like to thank Martin for the amazing love and care he provided to our baby boy Barley during our vacation. Layne and I are very very peculiar about who our baby stays with and we require a meet and greet before any stay in order for us to get a general idea of where our boy is staying, and for the owner to feel comfortable with him as well. Martin was very hospitable and made us feel very comfortable from the moment we arrived to his home. He gave us a tour of the premises while we discuss Barley's daily activities, feedings, and behavior. He sent pictures while Barley was staying at his home which provided us a great amount of comfort. Martin was also flexible on our drop off and pick up time as we had a few little delays which prevented us to get to his home right on time. I loved Martin's honest feedback during Barleys' stay, and feel extremely comfortable leaving him on vacation with Martin and his wife for future vacations! Martin, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our boy, Barley sure did appreciate it as much as us! -Arly & Layne *Vacay: Nov 20th-24th, 2015.”
“simply put Valerie was amazing. She sent us amazing videos and updates of our pup everyday and was on top of everything. My wife and I were nervous about having our pup be watched by someone else for the first time while we were away and Valerie put your worries to bed. Could not recommend someone more and will 100% be working with Valerie again 12/10!!”

“Patrick and his family did a great job taking care of my babies. I have two very active, very needy pups and Patrick did everything to make them feel loved and safe. Thank you again!!”

“Mary An has a swell informed about Kinley and she is the kindest woman. I just appreciate her so much. May she have a blessed, merry Christmas and a happy new year.”

“I can’t recommend her enough. Leaving Winnie with someone new always makes me a little nervous, but she completely put my mind at ease from the very beginning. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and she kept me updated constantly with messages and photos so I always knew how Winnie was doing. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Winnie and took the time to make her feel comfortable and loved while I was away. Seeing how happy and relaxed Winnie was in the updates meant so much to me. When I came back, it was obvious Winnie had been very well cared for. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable, communicative, and kind. I would absolutely trust her with Winnie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.”

“Yaniuska and her family have taken care of our dogs a couple of times, and they are great. Theo and Callaway come back happy and healthy, and we always get a lot of photos and updates throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend them.”

“Anna & Irina are very welcoming, very friendly and communicative. They make Nala feel like home and safe. They answers every questions and text very quick. Every time I check on Nala they send me pictures. Overall great experience.”

“Christina was awesome and patient when it came to my dogs. It was their first time boarding with a stranger and I was initially worried. She gave me updates and was concerned whenever my dogs exhibited weird behaviors in a new environment. I was able to enjoy my vacation because of her.”

“I have never sent my dogs to another home. Jonathan was great with both of them! They are spunky & very needy. Both came back happy & healthy. Jonathan stayed in touch the entire time & drop off & pick up was very easy for my daughter. We will use him again! Thank you!!!”


“Thank you for taking such good care of my dogs while we were away. I could tell they were very happy with you. Thanks for sending all of the photos and videos. I will definitely be using you again!”

“Dee was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time ever boarding my dogs, she truly set my mind at ease. (I didn’t even cry leaving them for the first time). She was welcoming to my dogs, took it slow with them, and allowed them to sniff around during our first introduction. My dogs were calm with her while showing us around, and she understood the needs of my senior girl Roo. My dogs boarded overnight with Dee for the first time (first time with her and first time ever boarding!) and then the same week Dee took them for daycare. My dogs knew where we were going when I dropped them off a second time - neither were bothered, they walked in and seamed to know where they were going. When I picked up my dogs they were happy (not traumatized even in the slightest bit for me having left them), both times they were tired when they got home. Dee took them for walks, sent my photos and kept me informed. In highly recommend Dee! She is a lifesaver and I plan to use here whenever I need daycare/boarding! Thanks!”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Oreo. I could tell she was happy and well-loved. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. You’re amazing—highly recommend!”

“We boarded our dog with Stephanie and Kevin for a week-and found a new home for our beloved buddy. Before the stay, Stephanie and Kevin invited us to bring our pet to meet them and see the place. They are welcoming, smart and professional caretakers. Their home is totally pet-friendly and safe with indoor/outdoor spaces that the pets enjoy freely. They attended to our pet's needs skillfully and with great compassion. Our 13-year old buddy had a sensitive stomach, which they handled with care and complete success. He had daily walks with Kevin, cuddling time with Stephanie and he bonded closely with each of them. They really understand and enjoy the pets and provide a safe, warm environment. I could tell when I picked my buddy up that he had a great time there. He was happy, energetic and comfortable in the space. I will definitely be booking with Stephanie and Kevin as my first choice for our boarding needs and I highly recommend their service!”

“Best dog sitter I have ever met ! They took care of my girl like if she is part of her family. I can’t thank them enough for all the service they offered. Delilah is thankful for the lovely time she got with you !!! Thank you again”

“Jennifer provided wonderful care for my anxious and timid pup with separation anxiety. She was quick to respond to me with updates or questions. Her home was clean and perfectly set up to care for dogs. She has well-fenced in areas so if you have a smaller pup like me, you don’t have to worry about your pup sneaking through the fence or anything.”

“Alexandra was very easy going and not difficult about modifying pick-up time when i had to change it, she also provided updates about my dog (daily) with pictures of him and overall I was very happy. Cosmo my dog was happy too.”


“My dog says a 5 star review isn't enough!!! Angela was amazing through and through from the time of drop off to accommodating changes in pick-up due to travel issues, to every picture, video & update in between, we truly couldn't be happier! Thankful to have found our go-to sitter and Gator cannot wait to go back!”

Alexandra was the perfect match for Sheldon. He’s an old man at 15 years. He has diabetes and takes two shots a day for it. He also in the last year developed cataracts because of his diabetes and now he is blind. She was kind and loving. She made sure to communicate every day with me via pictures and text. She wanted to make sure that I knew that Sheldon had been well cared for. Thank you, Alexandra, for taking such good care of my boy.❤️

Christina and Zach were the best pet sitters we have ever had and would highly recommend them! They took such great care of our dog, hosting her in their home for 10 days. They went above and beyond, taking her on adventures and sending frequent updates throughout her stay. They were so accommodating, allowing her to feel right at home with her beds, toys, feeding schedule and even allowing her up on the furniture for cozy snuggles! We will definitely rebook soon!

Evan was amazing with Brudas! From the start, it was clear how much he genuinely loves and understands dogs. Brudas had an incredible time running around the huge fenced yard, swimming, and getting tons of attention and exercise. Evan kept me updated constantly and made me feel completely at ease. Honestly, how cool is it that he’s also climbed Mount Everest? If someone can handle Everest, they can definitely handle my dog! Truly one of the most trustworthy, attentive, and experienced sitters we’ve ever used.
She was absolutely amazing! Her communication was consistent every day, and she sent me pictures of my baby, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave. Thank you so much! until next time! 🐾💛

Yamille was a life-saver for us! We had planned to take our Havapoo fur baby with us on our trip, but at the last minute found out we could not take her. When I reached out to Yamille, she responded immediately. We exchanged messages back and forth and had a "meet and greet" via Facetime the next day. Yamille was so sweet to our little Salter and was very accommodating to our requests throughout the week that she cared for Salter. She took her harness off occasionally to brush her and also sent pics/videos. I believe Salter had a GREAT time with Yamille, her son, her pup and other pup friends. We flew home to NC later that day and Salter slept the entire journey - a sign that she had lots of playtime, snuggles and belly rubs from Yamille. I would trust - and look forward to - Yamille keeping Salter any time! Your pets are in good hands with Yamille! Thank you Yamille!

Lissette was amazing with Max, she took really great care of him. he was a very happy pup there with friends to play with. Max ran out of his food in the last few days and Lissette went out of her way to secure his food to make sure he is okay. Would 100% recommend her and definitely book her again!

Sarah took wonderful care of my pup! She was extremely responsive and provided photos and videos throughout the stay so I was able to see how comfortable and happy Cali was. She absolutely loved the pool and Sarah took her out to the beach so it was a vacation for her too! We would definitely have Cali stay again.

Ileana was great!! She was very sweet and Bass seemed to really like her. She sent pics to keep us at peace with leaving him overnight . We needed to stay an extra day and she was very accommodating with the last minute change. We will definitely use her again in the future!! Stephanie S.
