Shaun and his family take great care of our pup Skye, who always comes home happy and tired. I feel extremely confident that Skye is treated as a part of their family.

She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)

Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.

Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.

Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.

Vanessa watched my Frenchie while I was on a long vacation and she couldn’t have been more accommodating and attentive. She sent lots of pictures each day, checked in before she gave him a new treat which I really appreciated, and kept us in the loop on how he was eating and how his walks were. It was wildly hot when she watched him and she was mindful of keeping his walks short and limiting his exposure to the blacktop. She has experience with Brachycephalic dogs which made me even more comfortable leaving my Frenchie with her. I recommend her and already have plans to book her in the future!

I could tell my dog had a great time and was treated very well! They were also very understanding when I had a flight cancellation and ended up having to pick my dog up in the middle of the night the next day. They sent me pics during his stay and responded quickly! They’re very good pet sitters and I hope they let my dog stay with them again!

We had Cookie with Melanie for a week during our winter break and she was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated seeing while being away! Also when our picky eater refused to eat her kibbles (we usually mix her food with meat but didn’t send it in for logistical reasons), Melanie shared her concerns and asked if there’s something she likes and made chicken, just for her! Thank you for taking care of our four legged child!

We are incredibly thankful to Rajan for boarding our dog, Loki, for a little over two weeks. Loki was so well cared for and looked genuinely happy throughout her stay. She loved getting to play with other pups, which made the experience even better for her. Rajan is clearly an animal lover and treated Loki as if she were his own. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care and attention Rajan provided and would highly recommend him.

Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!

Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!

Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!

We left our dog Whiskey with Jessica for a five day vacation stay. Jessica was outstanding! She made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She sent pictures everyday and he has a bud for life in butters. Jessica gave whiskey bones and play toys throughout the stay and treated him like he was her very own. We will leave him again and again with Jessica from now on because we trust her and appreciate her tremendously! Thank you so much Jessica!

Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!

Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.

Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!

Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
