“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”


“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”

“He was so kind and took wonderful care of my dog! Made sure everything was talked through before I left him overnight, I had no doubt my dog was going to be taken good care of.”

“Casey has truly changed how we feel about leaving our elderly dog in a sitters care. She provides a loving and safe home for our anxious old man to relax, reliably issues his many medications, keeps us updated with pictures and texts, and takes away our own anxiety that comes with leaving a pet for week+ travel. Petey absolutely loves Casey (and Ron!), and I could not recommend her more!”

“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”

“Ling and her daughter Alice were so sweet and so quick to communicate with us! They sent us lots of photos and videos and we knew our little guy was in great hands! We will definitely be visiting Ling again soon!”

“Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“If you want a dog caregiver who is attentive to both your dog’s and your needs, definitely hire Carolyn! Not only did our dog get excellent care throughout the day, we received regular communication & photos/videos to see firsthand. Very comforting for us & made being away easier. The daily trips to the dog park for off leash walks & socializing were greatly appreciated. We liked that there were other dogs (no more than 3-5 total) in the house for company & play without it being overwhelming. The dogs have free rein of the house & yard at all times and are never crated (unless requested). Our dog came home happy & content. We highly recommend Carolyn!”

“Michelle loves dogs! She took such good care of our pup, and sent frequent reports and photos. Every picture showed a very happy little dog. I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. Your dog will have a great time, and will be very well cared for.”

“Eric was great with our dog Bloo. He sent us lots of pictures and updates each day. It gave us peace of mind to know our pup was being taken care of so well while we were away!”


“Ponyo took such good care of our senior dog while we were home for the holidays. We had flight delays and she was so flexible and communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was cared for. He got so much love and attention while we were gone; would highly recommend her dog sitting services!”

“I highly recommend Lorena for pup-boarding! My jack-chi Philo stayed with Lorena and her family while I was out of town for 6 days, and - like someone else had mentioned about their dog - I feel like he had his own little vacation. My previous go-to sitter had moved out of town and I was a bit worried about finding someone who could meet the needs of my sensitive little boy. After reading Lorena's reviews, I had a very good feeling, and she even offered a meet and greet in person or phone beforehand. The care was excellent, with lots of pics of Philo out walking and updates. Their house was a great place for him too, with room to explore, get outside, and enjoy nature. And he even made some doggie friends while he was there. As Philo does sometimes, he wasn't eating all his food at first. After checking with me (I'd mentioned chicken is his favorite) Lorena gave him some chicken and he got a healthier appetite. The whole trip, I wasn't worried about Philo and knew he was in good hands which was a relief. Thank you Lorena!”

“My dog really enjoys his stay with Yingqi. Yingqi took good care of Domo. She helped us walk Domo and shared lots of cute photos with us. She is also very responsive with questions and tried her best to adapt to our schedules. She even helped Domo clip his nail and have Domo celebrate the birthday together with her puppies. I would definitely recommend Yingqi to all dog parents who are looking for caring and responsible caregivers!”

“Ningning is a great sitter, and her own dog, Chase, is a sweetie. She provided lots of walks and playtime for our active dog, Murphy, and accommodated Murphy’s schedule even though it didn’t align with her usual one. Chase was a wonderful companion to Murphy as well! She sent lots of pictures and videos of their activities and the dogs playing together. 10/10!!”

“Kathryn and Mark were awesome taking care of my Ruka. Very communicative and sent great pictures. Kathryn went above and beyond with my girl and I'm so thankful for them! Would board with them anytime!”

“Kristi and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. We had lots of updates and pictures throughout his stay. They even went the extra mile to include him in a Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas stocking present. Such an amazing family, we are so thankful for you all!! Highly recommend and will be contact again!”

“Adam took absolutely wonderful care of Nikita! She had a great time with him and settled right in. Such an added bonus that he loves huskies and their quirky personalities also! Adam is excellent to communicate with and shared plenty of updates and pics. Will definitely book again!”

“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”


“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”

I boarded my dog Bingo with Julie for almost a week. Julie was kind enough to do a meet-and-greet with us since this was the first time I was boarding Bingo with her. Through the duration of her stay with Julie, Bingo seemed really comfortable and at home. I got multiple daily updates (including photos) of her walks, her feeding sessions, and her medication. I really appreciated the thoughtful and timely communication, the level of care and attention, and I would definitely love to board Bingo here again.

Jonathan took great care of Harlie while we were away! He was excellent with communication, kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We really appreciated how attentive and reliable he was. We would absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Fox is such a kind and responsible person, and was so patient with Mango during his short stay! I had a last minute trip and Fox was very accommodating towards us. Mango unexpectedly had more anxiety and issues than I thought he would, but Fox sent a lot of updates and reassurance that the stay was going alright. I would 100% recommend Fox to anyone :) Thank you! we are so appreciative!
Peter took excellent care of our boy! He was super communicative throughout the stay and provided us with lots of updates on and photos of Henry. He was very attentive to Henry’s anxiety and did his best to keep Henry comfortable and feeling loved. He also has a lovely dog named Nova, and the two pups were able to play well together. Will definitely be booking with Peter again!

Sharon and Akira took wonderful care of my 10 year old border terrier. Clearly they enjoyed him and made sure that he was well cared for and appreciated. They also provided me with daily information about him, photos, and videos. I have already engaged them for caring for him again in August.
James and Jackie took great care of Yuma. They communicated well and sent us frequent updates and a lot of pictures. We had a peace of mind and knew that Yuma was in good hands while we were away for a week. Highly recommend them and would definitely use their services again!
