“She was great Bella is almost 16 never had been left with a stranger, she seemed so happy when I picked her up ❤️ we will dwfinetly use Alena for any future needs”
“We are very thankful for Kara and her family for loving our dog, Elvis, as their own. He loves their home— which is evident by the aggressive tail-wagging when we pull into their driveway. :) Great family”
“Alondra was amazing! She took my dog super last minute, literally agreed the morning of drop off. I am very grateful for that as well as the communication, she updated me every day about how my dog was doing and sent pictures as well upon request. She also genuinely cared and asked me about care instructions during drop off, has a wonderful environment next to a park that fit my dogs needs, and family who was also able to care for my dog!”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”

“Cisco took great care of Rocky. He was very responsive, and communicated with me regularly during the stay. He had everything my pup needed which made the transition so much easier. Highly recommend his services and would definitely book again.”
“My pup lived his stay with Kimberly so much he didn’t want to come home with me! She took great care of my fur ball and he is happy and healthy. She took him for walks everyday and sent pics of sleeping on her bed! Overall, a great experience for us both! Thanks Kimberly for a great experience and for caring for my boy like he was your own!”
“Latie is awesome! Very responsive, flexible and easy to work with. She took care of my dog as if it were her own and stayed in constant contact with me and sent pictures daily. I’d highly recommend her to anyone for all your dog needs! I look forward to using her in the future”
“April is an outstanding choice we found her last minute passed on the meet & greet prior to dropping off pets and happy to report she came through ❤️ we will definitely return and we definitely recommend her one thousand percent!”
“Amazing stay! we got pictures throughout the stay and our dog enjoyed it :) She was also very kind and accommodating to our schedule when we had to change the drop off/pickup times last minute. Will definitely trust her to keep our fur baby again!”
“Chelsea was absolutely great! I was a bit nervous at first but once I met with her things changed. She updated me daily with pictures & videos. Onyx was so happy she didn’t even wanna come back home. Would recommend!!, professional, kind, knowledgeable & her response time was great. Thanks again!”
“Joshua is a rare kind of dog person, the kind who truly gets them. Not just the basics, but the subtle language of body and energy. He watched my dog Annika for two nights, and I can honestly say she came back more relaxed and grounded. Annika isn’t the easiest dog. She’s a rescue with a complex past, a strong prey drive, and a deep sensitivity to energy. But Joshua met her exactly where she was, with calm, confidence, and a deep understanding of her breed and background. He didn’t just “watch” her; he connected with her. And that made all the difference. It was such a relief to know she was in the care of someone who not only understood her needs but could also gently guide her through them. He even managed to navigate her prey drive around his cat (which I still can’t quite believe!). That kind of intuitive, respectful handling is rare. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog with presence, patience, and real skill, Joshua is your person. He has a special touch, and your dog will feel it. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“I had an amazing experience with Alejandro as my pet sitter! He and his wife watched my husky, Rocky, for two days, and from the moment we met, he was very welcoming and attentive. Alejandro introduced me to his home, made Rocky feel right at ease, and kept me updated constantly with pictures and messages. He truly showed so much care for Rocky throughout the weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I highly recommend Alejandro!”
“This was Chewy's first night with Kodi and he was so comfortable!! Chewy didn't complain not one time, ate his food right away, and enjoyed spending time with her. Chewy also loves smelling the flowers in her yard and taking his nap on the mini couch 🤣”

Ruby was so welcoming and patient with my Rottweiler, Rexie! I was so nervous cause this is her first time staying with another family and she can be so stubborn and particular. But Ruby was so understanding and communicated well with us and with Rex. She sent daily pics and videos of my pup sleeping and hanging out or playing with her kids. Rexie had the best time! Ruby even washed her blankets and bed before I picked her up, thank you so much!!
This was my second time booking with Marie,and once again she was amazing. She is caring, dependable, and truly treats Sunny like her own. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear Sunny felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I’m very thankful for the wonderful care and would absolutely book with her again.
This was my dog's first stay with Diamond and I was pleased with her services and the treatment of my dog. We did a meet and greet before my dog's stay and I appreciated how Diamond allowed us into her home for my dog to get familiar with the surroundings. She took great care and patience to get to know him. Her home was comfortable and she sent daily pictures of how my dog was doing. She also took my dog out for walks and accommodated my requests. I will definitely use her services again!
Alondra was amazing! She took my dog super last minute, literally agreed the morning of drop off. I am very grateful for that as well as the communication, she updated me every day about how my dog was doing and sent pictures as well upon request.

She was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She sent daily updates along with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took him out regularly, kept him active, and clearly made sure he was happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone.
I was very happy with Kimberly. Our dog was very scared and not on his best behavior on Day 1. Kimberly reached out for advice instead of giving up. It worked! He calmed down and all went well from there! I appreciated her patience and resolve. She communicated during my trip and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. I recommend her and will definitely be a return customer!
I had a meet n greet with Caroline before booking date. She welcomed myself & Luna into her home to verify she got along with her 2 dogs as well as confirm she is okay to provide Luna care. Caroline was flexible on scheduling drop off and pick up times. Caroline sent updates and pictures of Luna, some with playing with one of her dogs. These updates gave us comfort while we were away! Caroline was friendly! When we picked up Luna she showed she was happy being there 🐾 We hope to book Caroline for future getaways that we need care for Luna!
