“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”
“Jessica took great care of our dog, Holly. We received daily updates on how Holly was doing and she made our dog feel at home in a new environment. Jessica demonstrates a lot of patience and compassion for animals and also takes beautiful pictures of her furry guests. We are grateful that we know Holly will be cared for and safe when we are away from home. Thank you Jessica (and Mochi)!”
“Lauren was wonderful!!! Our pup was in good care and she sent updates and pictures. We loved that she had a sweet dog to play with our dog and she is great with communication!”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“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.”
“Lorena was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our pup, made her feel comfortable in a new space with new people and new dogs, and was incredibly communicative and flexible. Would highly recommend, and look forward to working with her again soon :)”
“Sunmee, Patrick and their son took great care of little Oscar like one of their own. I really appreciated the photos and videos multiple times a day. They have a great house with large backyard for Oscar to run around with their dog, Winter. Thank you!”
“Ling was very caring and sweet with Juno. She also sent lots of photos and videos which made me feel at ease since this was Juno’s first time staying with a stranger. I will definitely book with Ling again!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Ponyo was amazing! She kept up with Riley’s medication and walking needs and kept me updated along the way. She’s super communicative and detail oriented. We will def be going with her again for future boarding.”
“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”
“Sugar had a wonderful time with Margaret and Tony. They took excellent care of her and sent me numerous pictures so that I wouldn't worry. Highly recommended.”
“John and Catherine were wonderful. They were able to accommodate my dog, Olive, for boarding on short notice. They sent updates and photos that clearly showed Olive was happy and comfortable. They're both professional, responsible, and caring dog lovers and I will absolutely use them both again in the future.”
“Truly, Carolyn is wonderful with dogs. Walks, backyard play, and cuddles - my dog was happy as a clam during her stay, and I - despite being a nervous dog mom - felt confident the whole time from the notes and photos Carolyn updated me with. I’m so grateful for having learned about Carolyn.”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”
“Yingqi took great care of Mabel while we were gone for a couple of days. She was prompt, reliable, and easy to coordinate with and sent us videos with updates. We would be happy to use Yingqi again!”
“Adam was super responsive and took great care of boomer, on short notice no less. He made sure to get all the info for care on boomer at a meet and greet and was very communicative! I could tell boomer was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Would def recommend Adam for anyone looking for exceptional care!”
“Yoshimi had a great time with Cheryl. She was very nice, sent pictures, was very knowledgeable about animals. I would definitely ask her to board him again.”

My Yorkie was very well taken care of and came home calm, happy, and tired, which is always a great sign! I’m so glad I was able to leave him in Estefania’s care. She was super easy to work with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. I felt confident that he was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Incredible dog sitter! Zhongni was incredibly attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide regular photo updates, she also took some of my favorite photos of him ever. I highly recommend Zhongni if you’re ever in need of a sitter!
Zico (and his wife) are wonderful people who clearly love dogs. Zico took great care of our dog Poppy. Poppy is nervous around other dogs and Zico made sure the walks were more quiet, ideal for Poppy. Zico also shared photos and regular updates. Highly recommend!
Our pup had another great stay with Amy! We can tell that he is very comfortable with her and she takes great care, which makes us feel at ease when we travel. Amy is an excellent communicator, is very flexible, and always sends lots of sweet pics and updates! We will continue to book stays with her when we travel in the future. Thanks Amy!!
Chris (and Kim) are amazing! We’re so lucky to have found them. They took amazing care of Louie who needed some last minute antibiotics and some extra attention to a paw issue that came up before we left. They were communicative with pictures and touched base daily which we always love and appreciate. Louie enjoyed his time with the other dogs and came home happy, well exercised, and tired! We will definitely use them again.
Samm was great! It was the first time we left our dog with someone we didn't know personally, and Samm made it obvious during our first meeting that she cared about dogs and would be taking good care of Finn. He ended up having stomach issues during the visit (likely caused by anxiety over being in a new place), but Samm kept us updated and took very good care of him while he was sick. Thank you, Samm.
James and Jackie were great! They were easy to communicate with, took great care of our dog Violet, and sent plenty of pictures. They treated Violet like their own and let her maintain her normal eating and sleeping habits. I also greatly appreciate their flexibility. I messed up the dates on my booking and made it a day too short, and they were absolutely amazing and watched Violet the extra day without issue. Highly recommend!
