1. Jennifer L.
“They were so sweet to our fur babies including a brand new stray rescue we weren’t super sure how she’d behave, but she did great! Extra plus their place is a cat haven 😻”
2. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
3. Jeff & Beth K.
“Harley had a terrific time with Jeff & Beth. She came home happy & exhausted. Thank you for all the pictures and updates! She clearly seemed at "home" in your house! I will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a doggie-sitter.”
4. Karen M.
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”
5. Pablo S.
“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
6. Danielle M.
“Danielle treated our dog to more TLC and walks than we do ourselves, to be honest. Snowy loved her and she was a pleasure to work with. 5 paws up 🐕”

8. Mary C.
“Mary was incredibly communicative, attentive, and loving with our senior pup. Our dog came back in such a happy mood - I can really tell he had a wonderful time with her. Would recommend Mary to anyone and would definitely book with her again!”
9. Chad A.
“Chad was caring and patient with my dog, and he was very responsive to my messages. He was able to stay home with her and provided regular updates, and it gave me peace of mind that she was in good hands while my husband and I were at our wedding.”
10. Mai H.
“I met Mai through the Oakland Animal Services dog foster programs in 2023. She helped me foster a senior pittie who I eventually ended foster failing. I think he had more fun with Mai than he does with me😂 Since then, I've seen Mai foster and dog sit numerous dogs with different temperaments, medical needs, and energy levels. They always blossom in her care! Mai has her own sweet rescue pup named Nugget who gets along with all dogs❤️”

14. Vanessa S.
“Vanessa & Thomas were the best! They took such great care of our old lady, Timber. They sent photos every day showing how happy Timber was and took her on all kinds of adventures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, and will be using them again in the future. Super nice, responsive, and overall great people! Thank you both!”
15. Tosca M.
“Tosca and Marco (and of course, Sonnet) were absolutely incredible. Archie had a great time staying with them. He felt right at home when he got there. Archie got plenty of walks, hikes, and cuddles, and they sent photos/videos/updates all along the way! Tosca and Marco were both very attentive, present, and provided reassurance throughout the entire stay!”
16. Keara S.
“I needed a last minute sitter for my 5 year old dachshund for a quick trip out of town, and Keana did amazing! She was very understanding of my dog’s shyness/anxiousness, and based on the photos she sent it looked like they had a great time. She was very communicative, and her neighborhood was great for quiet walks and visits to the park.”

Angela’s home seems like the ideal environment for Rosie to stay a few days - she has Angela’s dogs for canine playmates, a kind and attentive human, and a cheerful home setting. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
