“I had the pleasure of having Judith care for my dog for the day and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. My pup was well taken care of, and I received regular updates and photos, which really made me feel better. My dog looked so entertained and happy in the videos she sent me. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. My dog was so pooped after he got home and slept like a baby. Will inquire about her services again.”

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”


“Rebooked Sarah and plan on doing it again. She’s amazing and kind, and I feel so at peace knowing my baby girl is so well taken care of! Rosie always has so much fun!”

“She was really responsive and sent updates throughout the day. I felt really secure leaving my new puppy in her very capable hands. She’s also very kind and warm with them, which is super helpful.”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”

“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”

“Vanessa and her family are phenomenal. You know when she cares for your fur-baby that they will be apart of the family. Vanessa sent pictures of my Bella every day, of her playing and having fun or just chilling with her family and her dogs. I highly recommend her services.”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Lauren was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment and I was happy we could work out alternate plans. I was kept updated throughout Albert's stay and will reach out to Lauren again.”

“This was my fur baby, Milo’s first time attending daycare. Initially, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment. The fact that Stephanie provided me with pictures and contacted me prior to his stay made me feel more comfortable leaving him with her. It was a pleasant surprise to see Stephanie had created a welcoming environment and her fur baby was also present, which I felt was an excellent opportunity for Milo to be able to socialize with other dogs. In addition to toys and treats, Stephanie provided Milo with everything he needed to feel comfortable. Additionally, Stephanie sent many updates and pictures of Milo throughout the day. As soon as I picked him up, I could tell he had enjoyed his stay and that he would be returning in the future. Stephanie, thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Milo!”

About: Hey my name is Victoria. I’ve had animals all my life or should I say best friends. I worked for a Veterinarian for 2 years, so I have experience dealing with the muss and fuss of dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I have experience in administrating medication as well. A tired dog is a happy dog! I love taking them on long walks and adventures. We are always sure to praise good behavior with positive reinforcement treats! There is nothing like a purring cat or kitty! Plenty of behind the ear and chin rubs to go around for them fur babies too. I’ve always grown up having a cat and dog together, which made life always interesting and fun. I can’t imagine life without best friends.
“Trying to find someone to take care of our 2 boys was extremely difficult until we came across Erica, she and her husband Jon are amazing. Erica kept us informed through the whole stay of how they were doing and sent tons of pictures throughout the day. She knew how to take care of our little yorkie to our big crazy energetic husky!”
