“Keasha and her family took great care of Bagel! I was confident that my dog was in good hands. Will certainly come back to Keasha when I travel again. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Sadie thoroughly enjoyed her stay. In the past, I tried boarding at a kennel but it was too stressful for her. It took days for her to recover from the experience. That was not the case with her stay with Lindsay. She returned home just as happy as the day we dropped her off. It was such a relief and I couldn’t be more pleased.”
“What a pleasure! Skyla was very welcoming and kind. This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone and she definitely eased my worries. She was excellent and communicated regularly. She sent me photos and took amazing care of my Lila.”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”
“Sydney took such great care of our dog. She was understanding of the dog’s needs and ours to make our vacation easy. She made sure there was harmony for everyone in her home, pampered our dog more than we do at home, sent us pup updates (“pupdates”, lol) so we could see her experience. Would recommend Sydney’s pup sitting. We will again.”
“Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!”
“Omg, what a great host and sitter. Carolina was so responsive, and communicated everyday about my little one. Provided updates, pictures and videos and even had a safety “if lost” collar for him. Never saw that before and I love the idea! Will book every time I’m in town and need care. Had zero worries. Another great perk is she has a yard so if your pup likes the outdoors, they are safe and can get some sun. Thank you so much!”
“Natalia gave great care to our dog for the long stay he had with her and their lovely Corgie Archie at their home. We got pictures nearly every day and she was responsive as needed. If you are looking to have your dog have good companionship they are a good choice.”
“Crystal is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and always takes such great care of Chip. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets.”
“Sarah is the most amazing sitter ever! I travel with certainty that my cats will have the best care possible! She is very sweet and an animal lover like myself. Thank you Sarah!! 💝”
“Elba was amazing, she was always available and provided multiple updates throughout the day regarding our Beagle Blue, he was so happy with her and so well taken care of, we will definitely book again with Elba”
“Dana and Mathieu were amazing hosts and took excellent care of Vincent! He had so much fun playing with Daisy and Hazard that he wanted us to stay when we went to pick him up. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will hope they are available next time we are in the area. Thank you for the pictures and videos, it was reassuring to see Vincent so happy and at ease while we were apart.”
“Christine is awesome!!! She sent me updates on and picture of my pooch. My girl seemed to be enjoying herself so much that I wasn't sure she would want to come home. It really gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Christine.”
“Ty took amazing care of Gibby! She sent constant updates and photos and I felt totally at peace while he was with her. Will definitely use her services again!”
