“This was the first time that our dog Daphne had stayed with Jocelyn , who was great. She is calm, caring and knowledgeable and gave Daphne lots of attention and daily walks as well as daily updates and pictures. I would confidently recommend Jocelyn to anyone look for a pet sitter.”


2. Debbie C.


“Debbie is the best! My senior lab Luke is picky about other dogs, but he is always happy to see Debbie and her dog. He is happy when he comes home, and I feel confident he is safe and in good hands when I am away. Debbie is very thoughtful and sends updates and photos to ease my mind, which I really appreciate. Debbie will always be my first choice when I need to board my dogs.”

“Julian took amazing care of my dog, Yoshi, during our recent week away! Not only did he keep Yoshi active with runs, walks, and even some social events, but he also made sure to send regular updates and photos, which truly put me at ease. Yoshi looked happy and well-cared for in every picture, and it was clear he was enjoying his time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Julian again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
