5. Michelle I.

“Nathaniel is a god sent. I’m so thankful we found him. Our Luci doesn’t like to be alone and gets bored easy. She is having so much fun. She goes 3 days a week, has other nice dogs to play with, gets lots of spoiling. She is pooped when she gets home. It’s perfect. Nathaniel is flexible and willing to keep Luci when need be and even gave her a bath today and cut her nails. I’m so thankful because Luci gets spayed tomorrow. I highly recommend Nathaniel and Michelle. I don’t worry at all when Luci is there. I know she is loved and treated like a princess.”

“After a meet and greet with Barry, I booked a half-day stay before my dog June's 1st week-long stay. He was friendly and listened well to my questions and concerns. His dog Shakka and June got along well and Barry sent 2 photos during the 4-hr stay to show that both dogs were chill with each other after their initial greeting. He is kind and caring and accommodated all my concerns. I have confidence that June's week-long stay will go beautifully!”

19. Marissa Y.
“Marissa was an amazing pet sitter for my 9 year old dog. I felt completely at ease that she would be in good hands after meeting Marissa and seeing her house. There was a huge yard that my dog could go run around in at any time of day, and she was also taken to the local dog park nearby. I like receiving daily updates and pictures and was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about what kind of trouble my dog was getting into. All around 10/10 will be using Marissa again for my next getaway.”


20. William H.
“Will is an animal lover first and foremost! He not only loves dogs, but is full on vegan and cruelty free. I would trust him with anything. We have been coworkers for a very long time now; and I find he is one of the most dependable , punctual, and gentle people in my life. I would have zero reservations about leaving my dog, or any dog in his care.”
