“Super glad we found Robin to watch our dog, Dani! We loved all the pupdates and pictures. It looked like Dani was on a vacation while we were on ours! Thank you, Robin!!”
“Queeny provided a safe and welcoming home away from home for our two dogs. She sent us photos or videos every day to show that the dogs were healthy and happy, and we could tell that the dogs were stress-free when we came to collect them. We like the fact that there was an enclosed yard for them to run in, and that they were the only dogs in the home. We will definitely use Queeny again!”
“I called on Steve for help just a day before my flight after previous plans fell through. Steven was great with Lola. Lola is still learning and he was very patient.! He sent me updates, pictures, and videos to keep me at ease.”
“Whitley took such great care of my senior dog. Shout outs for the last minute accomodation. I really appreciated the videos, reports and that her dog was such a good host too.”
“Rahied was wonderful taking care of our Doberman Sansa, He provided updates, made sure she felt comfortable and was very polite. I will definitely contact him again to take care of our dog. He was amazing.”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“This is the first app I used for pet sitting and Dalonna helped me through every step, explaining everything well so I can know my dog is in good hands. My dog loved her immediately, so that shows a lot. I would recommend her 10/10.”
“My dog has separation anxiety but Alexandra and George was so patient and kind with her. I got a tour of their home and I also received pictures and updates about my dog during the time she spent with Alexandra and George. I definitely recommend them!”
“Whitney took amazing care of our 2 dogs over the past weekend! She has the most amazing dog friendly home and back yard with a "dog park", and her sweet pup Phyllis was so happy to share his home and his loving mommy with our pooches. Whitney is what I'd call a "dog whisperer", our dogs were so relaxed and happy to be with her. She went above and beyond to make our pups feel safe and at home. She shared pictures and videos while we were gone, she washed their collars and gave them massages. Our older cockapoo, who is hates riding in the car, was relaxed and happy as we drove home, which is not normal for him as he's usually shaking! Whitney has a magic touch with dogs. We would highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Whitney.”
“Veronica was simply amazing! From start to finish; Excellent communication, very attentive and transparent with expectations. Home very neat and clean and kept us updated daily with adorable pics and videos of T3ddy (Teddy) having a great time. I felt our pup was in a safe, warm, clean loving environment. Veronica is highly recommended that your fur baby will be respected and cared for.”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Ron and Cherie took awesome care of my Bella, they kept me updated with texts and photos and Bella took right to them. I would highly recommend for your boarding needs.”
“Great communication and the best photo updates. Nathan was thoughtful in his care for our dog and kept in touch with us about how the stay was going. We would definitely leave our dog with him again when we go out of town.”
“Rachel and her husband were everything I could’ve dreamed of and more. They took care of my girl like she was their own. She was enriched and given treats and love like I would’ve done for her. They even threw a special 4th of July party for the dogs and she came home with the cutest necklace. Not only that, but as I’m typing this she’s sprawled out on her side snoring after having an amazing weekend with new friends. I’ll be using Rachel again and again.”
“Kerri R was great with my dog Peppa. She treated her as her own and welcomed her into her home. Peppa had an excellent time. I will definitely be using Kerri R again. I suggest you do the same! 😊🐶”
“Anna was great with Otto! We did a meet and greet at a nearby park the day before and he got along great with her dog Ruby. She sent photos during Otto’s stay and I was comfortable knowing he was under good care and supervision. Thanks Anna and Ruby!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with, accommodating and her energy is 10/10. We have a big rescue puppy who did so well with Jessica, and we think was sad to leave her. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Lavina is our go to gal when it comes to boarding our pup! She’s very attentive, detail oriented, and responsive. We don’t go to anyone else, highly recommended!”
