Abegail was very kind and caring with Koko, she even was very responsive and sent a lot of photos for his short stay with her! Abegail even responded to our last minute request as we had issues with another sitter and was able to book her the day of our reservation! Wonderful job done and would strongly recommend her again!

May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰

Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.

First time booking with yue and it won’t be the last! She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos each day while my pup was staying at her place. She was a prompt communicator and super accommodating to my pup who’s pretty anxious and made sure she adjusted well.

Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!

Alegra was absolutely amazing with Penny during her 6-night stay! Penny is a messy eater/drinker and also needs medicine twice a day, and Alegra handled everything with so much care and patience. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, which made me feel like Penny was truly loved and in great hands the entire time. Alegra is a genuinely nice person, incredibly attentive, and took the time to do a warm and welcoming meet-and-greet beforehand that immediately put us at ease. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I couldn’t recommend Alegra more and we will definitely book with her again!

Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊

Lauryn was fantastic with our dog, Sirius! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and she was kind, warm, and professional. During our 9 day trip, she sent photos and updates and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Sirius with her! She made it easier to be away from him for a longer stretch. I would highly recommend Lauryn, and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

Joanna was absolutely wonderful with Tilly! She went above and beyond to make her feel like part of the family, sending frequent updates and great photos of Tilly out on walks, playing with her kids, and joining them on family outings. Tilly clearly had a fantastic time and bonded so well with everyone, especially her daughter. Beyond being an amazing caretaker, Joanna was incredibly kind and accommodating. When our travel plans got delayed, she didn't hesitate to let Tilly stay an extra night to make things easier on us. Tilly came home completely happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are so grateful to have found Joanna!

Sarah always takes such good care of my dog Oso. She gave daily updates and pics. She’s also very flexible with the pick up and drop off times. My flight was delayed over an hour and I ended up having to pick up my dog later at night. Sarah was very understanding. She also shared her dog’s food because I forgot to bring my pup’s kibble. Sarah took Oso to the beach. I’m so grateful she treats Oso like he’s part of the family. Thank you!

As always, our pup had a great time staying with Justin. Justin cared for Dani for about 6 days. We received daily updates where we could easily see she was happy and having fun on her staycation. At pick up, Dani our pup, was well rested and happy. We highly recommend Justin to watch your pup and we will always reach out to Justin for our future dog sitting needs. Justin is a dependable, trusting and caring caretaker of our pup.

Misha was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I was very nervous about leaving them, especially because Izzi can be anxious and leash reactive, but Misha handled everything so well. She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she was very attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Misha with them again in the future.
