“Alexis was fabulous. 10 stars. This was the first time using the app and she was the first person I found. She was very responsive and we had very clear communications. The first day my two pups went to her house they were clearly not happy when I dropped them off but then I started getting photos of how well they were integrating. She walked them, loved them and when I took them back the second day they were reaching for her when I went to go hand her the dogs. She had a clean home and the experience was just amazing. I would highly recommend Alexis for all your doggy needs. She was great.”
“Susana and her family were SO kind and accommodating. It was Lotti's first time away from home and I knew she was doing great with them! I got plenty of updates and photos of Lotti and she slept the whole next day, so I know she had a blast! I'll definitely be using Susana to watch her again!”
“Had such a great experience with Renata! I loved that Clementine had a home w/ a loving family to cuddle with while I was away on a work trip. Renata gave updates daily and was very communicative! They also buy dog beds and toys for all their pups that come! You can tell they have so much love for your pups!”
“Emily and Remsen took amazing care of Billie. They were so loving to her and she looked so happy in their home. I can tell they love animals! I will happily reach out to them again when I need care for our girl.”
“Basilio made my dog so happy during his stay! My dog even made a couple of new doggie friends. He was cared for and loved so much. Basilio also sent plenty of photos showing what a good time my dog was having. This gentleman even came and picked my dog up and brought him back. Easy to keep in contact with.”
“Bernadette was the best. She was so attentive, careful and caring towards my 16yo bella. She provided daily updates and my dog kept her weight while I was away. Which let me know she was really comfortable in Bernadettes home and ate all her food. Bella will visiting her again soon :)”
“Grateful to Kevin for accommodating a same day boarding request on a weekend. Friendly, efficient communication and most importantly my dog had a happy, safe place to stay. Thank you!”
“Maria took great care of my two dogs. She was incredibly patient and caring. Her two dogs are the most welcoming and friendliest dogs. Great communication, listened and understood my concerns/instructions. I would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Our Peanut had a wonderful time with Chloe! It's like he had his own vacation. Chloe kept us updated on Peanut and sent us pics and videos. We really appreciate how much she cared for our him. 💗”
“Was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. My dog Blue had a wonderful time with him and appreciated photos sent during his time there. Would highly recommend Adrian to care for anyone's fur babies.”
“Absolutely amazing! Very accomadating and treats your dog with the upmost care. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how happy I am with my experience. Highly recommend!!”
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“Very happy with the dog-sitting service from Lousine & Araik. The hosts were great. The space was really set up for dogs, and my little guy quickly got comfortable. The backyard space was large enough for lots of running with grassy places in the shade and in the sun and very dog friendly. The yard was secure and there was no risk of my dog escaping under the fence. They have 2 dogs and although they are big and playful they are very well behaved and responsive to their owners so I had no concerns about anything happening between their dogs and mine that couldn’t easily be controlled if it did get out of hand. Lousine gave sent frequent and regular updates with photos and videos to let me know how Buster was doing, and that he had settled in nicely. . I think Lousine knows that separation can sometimes be harder on the pet-parent than it is on the pet. She went above and beyond to communicate much more often than I requested, just to make sure that my mind was at ease. I’m grateful for the care and attention to detail and the responsiveness overall. I would definitely use Lousine and Araik again to dog-sit Buster overnight when I need it.”
“My dog had a great time during our absence. Robert sent videos and pictures to show how our furry baby was doing. We will avail of their services the next time we go out of town.”
“Our dog has stayed with Janelle twice now. She is always very quick to respond to any requests or questions, and has always been able to accommodate me last-minute. She sends pictures and updates often so I never have to worry or wonder how things are going. I know she takes great care of our dog, and we are able to enjoy our time away knowing he is in good hands. ”
“We were very happy to have Jean watching our dog for 8 days while traveling over Thanksgiving. She was good with communicating and sending pictures. Our dog got along well with her other 2 dogs. There is a small doggy door to the backyard which our dog was already familiar with. Nice grassy backyard in a quiet neighborhood.”
“I had a great trip planned, and it almost got cancelled because I couldn't find a suitable sitter for my buddy Jack. Yolanda was so nice and took him in for the weekend... even though she was a little leary about how big he was. Lol. but by the next day she was sending me pics of the 2 of them working in the backyard. It was a really great feeling knowing someone was caring for Jack the way I do. Yolanda, I cant thank you enough. I will definitely go to her again.”

This is our second time leaving our baby boy Charlie with Edwin and his Amazing wife Ann. My wife and I are very comfortable with Charlie being there. Charlie is well taken care of, with daily pictures and updates. We’re able to relate and not worry. Thank you guys . Charlie will definitely be back
I wholeheartedly recommend Adrián and his girlfriend as exceptional pet sitters. During my recent absence, they provided outstanding care for my dog, Doc Brown. Their home features a secure, grassy backyard, ideal for a canine companion. Beyond the excellent facilities, however, I was most impressed by their warm and welcoming personalities. Their genuine kindness and clear affection for animals were readily apparent throughout Doc Brown's stay. I have complete confidence in their ability to provide responsible and loving care for any pet.
