“Judy was awesome with my dog, Cody! Her upbeat personality and love of dogs was so evident- and my dog really enjoyed her yard- he kept running in circles! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay- I definitely hope to book with Judy again!”
“This was Ophelia's second visit with Michael. He is great, as always,sends pictures and updates, and I feel very comfortable leaving my sweet girl with him. When I picked Ophelia up, she kept going back to him, like she didn't want to leave him. What a great feeling to know that she has bonded with Michael and likes to stay with him!”
“This was our puppy Clover’s first night away from home since we got her, and we are super glad she was with Briana! Briana has a great dog set up at her home, it was like summer camp for dogs. She was a fast communicator and kept us updated with funny pictures of Clover throughout her stay. She came home tired from all her playing! We would definitely recommend Briana and Clover can’t wait to see her again :)”
“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic! Bella loved her stay!! Lauren was easy to coordinate both the stay and meet up with prior. Great communication during the stay with lots of photos. She even had some dog toys at her place to share with Bella! Bella looks super cozy and well taken care of in each photo. I highly recommend Lauren!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Priti and Sai are great with my dog, Belle. They both make her feel very comfortable in their home. You can tell they are “dog people”. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in their care. I am happy to have found them.”
“Loren is a wonderful dog care giver. It is obvious that she loves Rosie and that Rosie loves her. She followed our routine for Rosie diligently. We have complete confidence in her and would use her again. We are sure that Rosie can't wait for her next sleepover at Loren's house.”
“Yadi was amazing! She took my pup with very short notice after my primary sitter cancelled. She was welcoming, informed, and genuinely interested in caring for my baby while away. We’ll definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Melissa was really great with Vinnie . Firstly, I reached out to her at the last minute which she accommodated. Then I was worried as it was the first time she was looking after Vinnie. But Melissa put all my worries at ease, she asked the right questions and promptly responded to all of mine . Vinnie had some great company with other dogs and absolutely had fun ! I will go back to Melissa again in a hear beat!”
“Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!”
“On mine and Baxter's first meeting with Paul, Baxter was able to walk around the area without the other dogs so that Baxter could check things out on his own. Paul answered all of my questions and I felt confident leaving Baxter with Paul for an upcoming trip. After coming back from a short 3 day trip later, I could tell that Baxter had a great time and had met some new friends. He slept all the way back home and on the couch once we were back settled! I'll definitely be leaving Baxter with Paul for future trips. Thanks, Paul!”
“Tamara and her entire family were EXCELLENT with Cooper!!! Cooper received A+ care while we were away! We have found our sitter and Cooper has found his home away from home. We thank you so very much!”
“Jacquie was fantastic! She took us on last minute and welcomed our dog into her home. She took fantastic care of our dog, taking to for walks, to the dog park, and other adventures. She consistently shared daily pictures of our pup enjoying herself. She was quick communicating with us as well. We can’t recommend her enough!”
