“Kira did a great job with Luna, she send updates and pictures multiple times a day. Luna got along great with her kids and seemed really happy!”


“Natasha and Neerav were awesome! They took good care of our pups overnight on a short notice. Thank you both! Luna and Joey came back happy and healthy.”


“Nala had an amazing time with Natalie. She updated me with pictures everyday. She is very reliable and have a friendly personality. I am so glad I found her. I booked her again to take care of Nala. I definitely recommend Natalie.”


“Fantastic. Exceptional. David is a true dog lover who treated Elle wonderfully. She definitely has a new BFF in David. He is my “go to” sitter par excellence! He had her on a terrific eating, walking and playing schedule and kept me posted with photos and commentary so that I knew my girl was having a great time while I was away. If there were a rating above 5 star he would receive it from me.”


“Would definitely recommend Anne & Nora for anyone needing a dog sitter! It’s a great feeling when you know your pet is safe, in good hands, and is well-taken care of, and I’m so grateful that they provided a great experience for my Buddy. Also, they are kind, communicative, and professional. 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Hawthorne was very kind. I was scheduled to go away the previous week and had to change plans at last minute for the following week. He was very understanding. I picked my pup up after two days, and she was one very happy doggie! She's unusually happy to begin with but she clearly was not pining for me! Hawthorne sent me pictures in between and she looked like she had made fast friends with him. She was happy. I'm happy. I brought her food, toys, and fave snacks. Hawthorne and Wei provided the in-person love while I had to be away. I think that says everything!”


“I was anxious to leave my black cat with someone even just for the weekend but he’s such a social cat I didn’t have the heart to leave him alone. Rochelle was so sweet and indulged me when I asked how he was doing. She sent me pics and updates a few times a day. It made me rest easier during my work conference. Highly recommend.”


“Orlando and Christina took excellent care of our pup. They were incredibly communicative and sent pictures/updates 2-3 times a day which made us feel so connected and aware of how he was doing in our absence. He came home happy and relaxed- would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Nirvana is a really great and responsive sitter! She was watching my puppy for a day while we were away, and my puppy came back happy, relaxed and tired (obviously they had a really good time!). Would definitely book with her again :)”


“Amy is very caring and an experienced/responsible dog lover. She’s very communicative, and I can tell my dogs had a lovely time with her. Would definitely recommend!”


“My dog looks forward to every stay with them and they keep me updated throughout my trip. Will keep using them as long as they will let us :)”


“Patrice and Alex were wonderful with Rooney. They took care of him very well, made sure he had lots of fun, and took care of his needs. We got consistent photo updates from Pat and Alex, and they were so thorough in making sure Rooney felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. They slowly introduced him into their home and were extremely attentive to his needs. Pepper was a lovely friend for Rooney too, being so gentle and sweet. They had a meet and greet before boarding and they got along well. We're so grateful to have found them because Rooney came home with his energy spent and full of joy because of what a great time he had. This is the first time he's boarded with Pat, Alex, and Pepper, but it definitely won't be the last!”


“Junaid and Tina were the absolute best! Pepper came back a happy and tired boy from all the fun he had. We were very happy with all the photos and videos we received and were able to relax knowing Pepper was in good hands. He also got along great with Juju, I can tell he’s missing him on his first night back. We’re happy we found a trustable place to leave Pepper next time we need to!”


“Tiffany was a great sitter for my pup! She’s very responsive and accommodating. She took cooper out for walks multiple times a day throughout his stay and made sure to send some pics along the way. I definitely feel comfortable leaving my dog with her again. Thanks again, Tiffany!”


“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”


“Anne took great care of our senior doggie Charlie. She administered all his meds reliably and sent daily pictures and videos. Charlie had a great time with her and we were relieved to have Anne board him. We will definitely reach out to Anne again - highly recommend!”


“Jessica took exceptional care of my dog Penny over 5 days while I was traveling for work. She was communicative and very thoughtful when it came to Penny’s picky eating habits. I couldn’t have asked for better care and I know Penny had an incredible time in her home. I will definitely book with Jessica again!”


“Sara was wonderful with Storm. We will use her again for sure. Storm felt very comfortable as she was doing what she does at home with Sara. Good fit ! ??”



“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”


“I shared with Tsan how Ruby struggles a bit the first day to get acclimated and she quickly made sure Ruby felt at home and comforted from the moment she arrived. I would get daily updates on how Ruby was doing and seeing her pictures and knowing she was eating and playing, I knew she was happy and comfortable. I will definitely ask Tsan to watch Ruby again in the future.”
