1. Masumi C.

“Masumi and her family really did take care of my Kodi while I was on a trip. Everyday looking at all pictures and videos from her during the trip, I was so happy to have her as a sitter because I can feel that Kodi was doing great with her and her family + Apple. Also, her short daily report for how Kodi does each day gave me firm assurance. I will definitely ask her again if I need to find a sitter. Thank Masumi!!”


2. Kathryn & Mark B.

“My moose had the best time with Kathryn and Mark! I’ve never boarded her at someone else’s house before and I wasn’t sure how she’d do, but she made herself right at home and had so much fun with the kids. The photos I got were absolutely perfect! Will definitely book again next time I travel. Thank you all!”


3. Tunyi & Bor C.

“Tunyi was awesome!!! Our pup loved her and her family. Sent us texts and videos the entire time while we were gone and we just knew Flo was being loved on❤️”


4. Karen K.

“We recently boarded our toy poodle Ella with Karen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Karen was incredibly professional and clearly very experienced with dogs. From the moment we dropped Ella off, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Karen provided regular updates and made sure Ella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. Ella came home relaxed and content, which tells us she truly enjoyed her time there. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked another, much longer stay with Karen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


5. Emmanuel & Sonia G.

“Emmanuel and Sonia took wonderful care of our puppy, were extremely communicative, sent us lots of pictures, and were overall excellent dog sitters. We will absolutely have Rory stay with them again!”


6. Nathan E.

“Our senior dog Steve had a great stay with Nathan. Nathan was easy to communicate with and went above and beyond by sending us multiple picture updates each day. Our dog was well cared for and had a great time.”


7. Lorena R.

“Lorena was great. This was Tuesday's first time staying with someone new and it worked out really well. Lorena and her family made her feel comfortable. Lorena was very responsive, flexible and understanding!”


8. Gaby R.

“This is our first time using Gaby and we chose her because she had experience with older dogs. My dog Julz needs extra care. We did a pre-visit before our vacation to make sure they got along and everything went great. During our trip, she took extra special care of Julz and made sure to send me picture updates often which we appreciate. Julz takes multiple medications as well and Gaby had no issues giving them to her. She was there a total of five days and we are very happy with her care and will definitely use Gaby again.”


9. Aina W.

“Aina and her family are wonderful sitters! Our dog stayed with them for a week and came home happy and relaxed. She got long daily walks and lots of love and attention! Would definitely have her stay again. Highly recommend! Thank you!”


10. Yun-Chun & Ao-Chang H.

“We are so grateful to Yunchun for taking our last-minute boarding request! They did an amazing job caring for our dog Pear. Pear came back happy and tired after lots of playtime and fetch, which is his favorite. It was clear he had a great time. Would absolutely book with Yunchun again - highly recommend”


11. Yen & Terry N.


“What a great experience! We scheduled a meet and greet and our dog was so happy to see the space, she wasn’t nervous and instantly loved Yen. They asked for current vaccination report which made me feel better about her safety with other dogs. During her stay we received cute photos and a video. She came home clean, happy and exhausted…it was perfect. I would strongly recommend Yen and Terry. They have a great space for dogs to run and play, including a doggy door to get in/out as your dog needs. They have a calm space which made our shy dog feel safe.”




12. Charmaine R.


“Our 7 year old chiweenie has had two great stays with Charmaine! She was very responsive and sent pictures daily. It is great to know our Lola was well taken care of while we were traveling. Highly recommend!”




13. Amy & Shelby S.


“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when we needed to board Pancakes at very short notice. She gave me updates everyday, with pictures, which was especially reassuring given this was Pancakes' first multi day boarding experience. I would trust Amy with Pancakes any day!”


14. Kristen D.

“Kristen took excellent care of Gaia for a week, making sure she was happy and well-loved. Kristen has great communication and was also very flexible with the dates and times! Thank you so much Kristen!!”


15. Fiona K.

“Our two dogs were well loved and taken care of! I know our dogs must have loved the attention from the child in the household. We appreciated the flexibility when we needed to add more days, too.”


16. Lin L.

“Thank you Lin and your family for watching Sally, she was in great hands! The photo updates were so good to see. Bless you and your family. 😊”


17. Amy S.

“Amy is great!! My dog Yoko had the best time during her stay, and I think was almost disappointed to come home! Amy also kept us updated throughout the stay. We will 100% be bringing Yoko back next time we go out of town 😊”


18. Philip S.

“Philip was great! Super responsive throughout the stay and was very welcoming - I really appreciate the exceptional care he provided for my dog.”


19. Joann S.


“We cannot say enough good things about Joann. She absolutely LOVES dogs and it shows. We had to leave our pup for 2 weeks and a few days and we knew it would take a special person for us to feel comfortable doing so. We didn’t think twice once we met Joann and saw her passion for caring for others dogs. Our pup had the best time with her and we would 100% book with her again. She even had the generous thought to bath him the day we came home so we didn’t have to worry about a smelly dog after a trip. Best decision ever to book with her!”


20. Dottie R.

“Dottie took great care of my two dogs, I will use her again. One dog is older and needs daily medication and the other is a puppy. Both had a great time at her house. ”
