“Butterscotch had such an amazing time with Sam. We got daily updates and felt really assured knowing our baby was having as much of a vacation as we were. Sam was quick to respond to our every need and was extremely accommodating. Butterscotch already got her next visit booked!”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Doris was awesome with accommodating a last-minute request to board Brownie due to an event. I was having at home. Drop off and pick up we’re extremely easy and she sent me photos of Brownie several times. Doris and her daughter were very gentle with her, and I would definitely recommend her services!”

“David is fantastic, as always! Our top sitter choice in the neighborhood. Tati enjoys her time with David so much that she pulls toward his apartment when we walk her!”

“This was my very first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My puppy, Kalii can definitely be a handful, full of energy and still learning the ropes, but Ziwei handled everything with so much patience, care, and experience. She made me feel completely at ease from the start, sending regular updates and photos that really helped ease my nerves. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend and thank you again!”

“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”

“This was my first time ever using a sitter to watch my pet and I must say that I am so glad that my first experience was with Kristin. She made sure that penny was comfortable and felt the same love that she gets at home. I’d definitely use and recommend Kristin’s services in the future. Thank you again”

“Margarita and Cris took good care of our dog. Margarita is very polite, kind and responsive. While we were away she texted us pictures and updates of our pup, which was a really thoughtful touch. We definitely recommend her !”

“Jameeka was so loving and attentive and treated our girl like her own! We got photos or videos everyday and I could tell that Wendy was having a good time playing with the other doggies. She even got a bath from Jameeka on the last day so she came home looking like a million bucks!”


“Our dog Augie had a great stay! We received lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and it looked like he had so much fun. He would definitely love to stay again.”

“This is my first time booking with Samantha and I definitely believe this is the start to a great relationship! I've been shopping around for a sitter that my pup feels truly comfortable with and not anxious to get away from, and Samantha provided a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. My Nala was so calm and at ease by the time I picked her up and that warmed my heart. Samantha was flexible and accommodating to some last minute changes to the schedule and even bought dog food because I had ran out right before my trip! What a doll! If you book with her, trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

“SHE IS THE BEST AND THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO WATCH MY DOG ONYX LOVES HER AND IM SURE HE CANT WAIT TIL I GO ON VACATION AGAIN CAUSE HE GOING BACK TO HER FOR SURE”


“Kristine is an excellent communicator and provided pictures, videos and even extra treats to Riley. She made pick up and drop off seamless and her family enjoyed having my Riley around. Thanks, Kristine!”

“Kayla is the best. She is very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. Stitch was in good hands, and Kayla is the only sitter that I want to care for my baby while I am away, because I didnt have to worry about anything. She provided updates on his activities, along with pics and videos on a daily basis. Any questions I had were answered expeditiously. Stitch is a picky eater, and Kayla had no problems getting him to eat. If you need a sitter, look no further, Kayla is the one.”

“I booked Patrice again for Minnie’s boarding, and it was once again a wonderful experience. Minnie absolutely adores Patrice and her family, who treat her like one of their own. Their small dog gang is the perfect environment for Minnie as an older Pomeranian. I always have a peace of mind leaving Minnie with Patrice and will happily continue booking with her!”

“Annaliese did an amazing job watching our dog Fudge! He has a bit of separation anxiety from us and it was wonderful to see that he was comfortable enough to even sit on her lap. She was very accommodating, even with a late pickup time. Very responsive and sent us updates throughout his stay. Would 100% recommend this 5 star dog sitter!”

“Super grateful to have found Alysson to watch our pup for a few days. She gave daily updates with cute photos. Was at ease with her watching our girl. Looking forward to using her again soon!”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”

Sarah was great with my dog! She communicated really well, was able to pick up and drop off my dog and I know that he had a great time because he was so happy and wiped out when I got home from work. He even got to play with her dog! Thanks so much Sarah, we highly appreciate it and recommend her to anyone needing doggie care!
