Mich was awesome! Our dog felt welcomed and comfortable during her stay. Mich’s dog, Milo, was a good companion/ host. Great back yard. Mich sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Grateful to have found Aaren and Jordon. I felt comfortable trusting our boy with them the moment we met. We appreciated the great communication and the pictures/updates we received during Apollo‘s stay. Plus he got plenty of walking in so we know he loved that. Will be rebooking when that time comes. Thanks guys!

Hilary was an amazing sitter for my girl, she took her for runs, played extensively and even made time to always keep me informed. I would trust her again and again and really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while I was away. ❤️

Libby was a lifesaver for us. She took care of our geriatric Golden for three days while we were away, then stepped up for an additional four days at the last moment due a a medical emergency, even buying addition food and supplements as needed. She is clearly a dog lover, and our Golden was very comfortable and well cared for with her and her two dogs. Excellent communication and lots of photos completely set our minds at ease at a time when we didn’t need any additional worries. We even got a thorough report-card and little polaroid of our Golden when we picked her up. I can’t say enough good things about Libby. Your dog would be very lucky to have her as a sitter.

During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!

Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!

He enjoys his time with her so much that he didn't even want to leave! 🤣 She sent us multiple daily updates with the best pictures and videos. Angelica, thank you for taking such great care of our baby. We appreciate you more than you know and are so grateful to have found you. Benzino’s new BFF 🫶 She is highly recommended!

Cindy was amazing at caring for my two dogs, Loki and Tashi. Dogs have a sixth sense of humans and as soon as they entered her home they were excited and happy. Cindy sent us photos of our dogs which was an adorable touch. For once, my husband and I were relaxed and were able to enjoy our outing without worrying about our dogs. We were disappointed that our dogs were not that excited to see us when we picked them up. That meant they had a great time at Cindy's. So much so that they crashed shortly after we got home. They were exhausted from their exciting day with Cindy and her adorable daughter. We are so delighted to have found Cindy.

Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!

I had fantastic experience with Kendra B. She sent thoughtful daily updates about my dog’s routine, kept up with his walks and playtime, and made sure he finished his food. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—she even took him on a car ride he loved! It was a pleasant stress free experience that gave me real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a true home-away-from-home, I highly recommend Kendra B, and I’ll definitely book with her again!

Cooley's first time being away from home was the best experience ever thanks to Candace. Candace took him in and treated him like he was her own. Arwin, Candace's dog and Cooley got along so well together and normally he doesn't do well with other dogs. I would definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs. She's such a caring and honest person that truly loves all pets. I was updated with messages and pictures the whole time he was there. Feel free to look at his stay pictures. They are so cute. We already have a trip planned in July and he will be staying with Candace again. I'm so happy to have found her. It surely does make vacationing easier now knowing that I have someone to take excellent care of him. Thanks again Candace for a great stay. Annette & Cooley

Gaelle took wonderful care of Oakland while I was away! Oakland was feeling a bit under the weather from anxiety leading up to my trip, and Gaelle was incredibly attentive, keeping a close eye on her and sending regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Thankfully, Oakland's stomach settled, and it was clear she was in great hands throughout her stay. I really appreciated the care, communication, and kindness Gaelle showed. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Virginia was a delight. Our baby Nola was loved & cared for the entire time we were away. We can confidently say we’ve found a home away from home for our sweet girl Nola. Virginia was very attentive, sent numerous pictures & just kept an open line of communication to keep our minds at ease. We would 100% book with Virginia again a million times over.

Excellent experience leaving my two small dogs with Mich (and Milo). My dogs felt at home right away. Mich's house is beautiful and dog-friendly and has a nice fenced in back yard. Milo is super sweet and was very gentle around my small dogs. I will definitely be booking with Mich again!

Ross and Ava are fabulous sitters! This was my dog’s first time staying with them and their sweet dog, George, and I was wondering if Reggie would want to come home with me after being taken care of so well! 😊 Ross & Ava were great with providing updates and also being mindful of the heat for walks. Finding a sitter can be such a stressful process but Ross & Ava were great with coordinating a meet and greet beforehand and putting my mind at ease. Your pet will be in great hands!

I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !

I’ll leave as many glowing reviews for Lauren and Colin as I can! They just watched our dog, Haley, for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lauren is extremely communicative, shares several photos throughout the day, and asks questions if needed. I’m a worrywart but when Haley is with Lauren I’m totally relaxed. I’m lowkey worried Haley won’t want to leave all of her buddies and come home. Can’t recommend Lauren enough!
