“Amanda is excellent. She took care of my very old, very grumpy 13 year old foster dog for a few days and had no issues. I trust her 100% with both dogs and have already booked another stay with her. ”
“Took fantastic care of Mimi! Mimi can be an anxious dog but she warmed up to Kelly real quick🩷. The frequent updates kept us reassured during our trip that she is in great hands.”

“Jena was amazing with our two year old lab. She was open to doing a meet and great which was so helpful. Jena is laid back and loving and our pup was in the best hands while we were away! We received daily updates and photos and returned home to a very happy and tired pup!”


“It's our first time leaving Toby for more than a couple of days. Dina and Irma helped ease our anxiety with their amazing communication and wonderful care. They provided daily updates and followed care instructions. We picked up a happy and healthy Toby after a great 2 weeks stay along with their adorable dogs who kept Toby company.”

“Molly was wonderful throughout our pup’s six-day boarding stay. Our 10-year-old pup has several health ailments and Molly was incredibly attentive to her needs and overall well-being. The daily photos and updates kept us completely at ease during our vacation. We highly recommend Molly!”

“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”


“Ethan did a great job caring for my dog! My dog can be finicky, and Ethan was able to win him over right away. Great communication and easy last minute booking. Thank you, Ethan!”

“Great experience boarding my dog w Larissa for 3 nights. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy and reassuring. Communication was great the entire time & I really appreciated the daily updates/photos while I was away. My dog can be pretty independent & likes doing his own thing & she really seemed to understand his personality & made him feel comfortable. When he was picked up, he was relaxed, happy & clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Larissa again in the future & I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Tobi was wonderful, she made our 2 dogs feel at home and loved. She sent pictures often and let us know how well they were doing, we will be using Tobi again, she is our new go to for our dog family!!”

“Very nice setup at the house for dogs to feel at home. Kana and Brian are dog lovers and it shows. Great yard for dogs to play in and good for socializing. I would definitely board Boomer there again.”

“Darcia, Thank you for the great care of our family member, Boba! We’re glad Boba had a good time with your dog. Your calm and reassuring attitude really helped us know that Boba was in good hands. Thank you again! Andy”

“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”

“Heather is wonderful! She kept our boys, Max and Stanley for four days. Gave daily photos and updates and was always available for questions prior to their stay. The boys were happy and well cared for and we definitely will book with Heather again for our future trips! Thanks so much!!”

“Andrea is the perfect pet sitter! She sent us updates and provided photos and videos every day. She really connected with our Maltipoo and adhered to our schedule giving him a seamless transition to a new environment. I will definitely book her excellent service again and so should you!”

“Mariana was a great sitter for our pups. She was very transparent in making sure it was OK if she had other dogs at the house. She was very thorough and made me feel like she really cared for the boys. She sent tons of pictures which were great! They came home happy and sleepy! :)”

“This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!”

Ethan was incredibly helpful and communicative while our pup was in his care. He sent numerous updates and made sure that we were informed with how Bosun was doing while we were away. Ethan did a wonderful job of introducing Bosun to the new environment and we look forward to future stays!

This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

Dee Anne took fabulous care of our big boy, Cowboy (110-pound German Shepherd)! She took him on walks to the park, played ball with him in her wonderful fenced yard, and just gave him lots of love and attention. And she kept us posted with photos and updates so we never had to worry or wonder how he was doing. When we went to pick him up, it was obvious that he had had a wonderful time. He was happy as a lark playing fetch with her outside. We will definitely trust her with Cowboy again!

Elizabeth went above and beyond to care for our senior lab (14 years old)! We were able to bring his bed for his comfort, but Elizabeth also had many of her own beds for him to choose from. She assisted him outdoors when he needed a boost due to my dog’s limited mobility. She gave him lots of breaks for social time and fresh air. She followed his specific meal schedule with supplements and treats. She sent updates with pictures to ease our mind. We look forward to having Elizabeth care for our senior pup again. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Very please with using Dorian to watch our dog. I have zero complaints. We have a very active pit mix puppy. He had no problem calming him and making him feel at home. Took him for walks often and treated him kindly. Will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need someone.
