1. Aaron C.

“Extremely pleased with the care my anxious pup receives while at daycare with Aaron, especially since this is Hemi’s first daycare experience. Aaron was very in tune with his needs and preferences, helping him socialize with other dogs in his care but also allowing him to have some alone time when he needs it. Also, really pleased with the flexibility Aaron allows around pick up and drop off times. Hemi always comes home happy and tired.”

10. Nicholas N.

“I am so grateful to have found Nicholas to help care for my 4 m/o puppy. I adopted her as a stray rescue and he has provided the perfect family home setting to keep her safe and happy during my long shifts working in a hospital. He is always quick to respond, and it means so much to not worry about her while I am at work. Most importantly - she is always excited to arrive, and so content and exhausted when I pick her up at the end of the day. To anyone considering booking Nicholas, you will not be sorry!!”

I will definitely use her again, and would recommend her strongly.”

17. Andrew & Jeffrey R.
“I was initially apprehensive about leaving my dog, Rosa, with a new sitter, but Andy exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment we met, I knew he would shower my little friend with love and care. Andy's compassionate, attentive, and fun demeanor immediately put me at ease. During our initial consultation, Andy asked thoughtful questions about Rosa's habits, likes, and dislikes, and even took the time to understand her unique personality and quirks. He was flexible and accommodating when it came to scheduling walks and playtime, and kept me updated with photos and stories about Rosa's adventures through regular pupdates. What truly impressed me was Andy's genuine affection for Rosa. He treated her like his own from the start, demonstrating a deep understanding of canine behavior and body language. He even sent me videos of Rosa playing with her favorite toys and snuggling up for belly rubs and head scratches! Rosa now recognizes him and gets incredibly excited to see him, giving him four paws up! Andy is always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have, and I feel confident knowing that Rosa is in good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced dog sitter. He truly has a gift for connecting with dogs, and we're grateful to have found him. Thanks again for taking such wonderful care of my beloved friend! It such a relief to know she is in your loving care while I’m away. ♥️”
