“I can’t say enough good things about Barbara as a dog sitter! Barbara stands out after trying nearly a dozen different sitters and kennels for my pups. Not only did she provide exceptional care and attention, but she also went above and beyond by washing not only my dogs but also their beds! This thoughtful touch shows how much she genuinely cares. My dogs came home happy and healthy, and it was evident they had a wonderful time with Barbara. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Barbara, for treating my fur babies like your own!”

11. Jill S.
“Jill and Liz are fantastic! We were driving from SF to LA for a long weekend and wanted to give our 2 chihuahua mixed pups a little vacation of their own—Jill and Liz's home was just the ticket! Their backyard is truly a pup's paradise—large enough to run and play with some shade to hang out in and even a water feature to splash around. They were really great about sending tons of pictures as updates and very patient and understanding with Frankie who was a little stressed at being left, so initially he wasn't eating his food—they coaxed him with some shredded chicken, and he came around by the end of the second day. We could tell our pups were getting TLC with the pics of them snuggled in Liz's lap or blankets while hanging out on the couch and bed. To top it all off, when we came to pick up our babies, Jill and Liz surprised us with a framed photo of each dog! It was such a sweet gesture. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them if we ever do another road trip to LA (if they were closer to SF, we'd re-book in a heartbeat!!) Thanks so much for everything, Jill and Liz! xoxo Coco and Frankie”
12. Adriana M.

14. Jess H.
“Wow Jess was great! I can tell Barney really loved him just by how he moved around his place. He seemed very comfortable with Jess and I’d definitely would definitely use his services again.”
