“Five stars! Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! I can't recommend Tracy highly enough! They went above and beyond caring for my dog while I was away. Tracy followed all my instructions perfectly, which gave me great peace of mind. More importantly, my dog came back happy and healthy! It was clear she received tons of love, attention, exercise, and care. Tracy was also fantastic about communication. They sent me regular updates and adorable photos, which helped ease any worries and made my trip even more enjoyable. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Tracy and will definitely be booking them again for any future dog sitting needs. They truly are the best!”

“Mike is great with dogs. My pup had plenty of walks and playtime with couple of other dogs in the roomy backyard, and he got lots of pets and affection. I would definitely leave my dog with him again.”

“We left our Dog(Riley) with Karla twice now and she took great care of her!! She is awesome with her communication and was very responsive when we had any questions or needed any updates. Since Riley has some allergies, she took extra care and gollowed all our instructions for fo followed all given instructions with great detail. When your lil pup is with Karla you can be sure”

“Mel and his family took excellent care of our pup. From daily walks and lots of time playing outside to introducing him to other kids, it was clear he was getting plenty of attention and socialization. Mel was also incredibly communicative, sending prompt updates along with great pictures and videos throughout the stay. It made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Mel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Summer stayed with Dawn and Mel for about 1.5 months, and we’re so grateful we found them. They took such great care of her and made her feel right at home. We especially appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos—it really gave us peace of mind and we loved seeing how she was doing. She looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care. We’d absolutely trust them with Summer again and highly recommend them. 🐶❤️”


“Nina and Leo are great! I’ve had them watch my Beesly twice now, and he just loves them. They take him for nice long walks and play ball with him to his hearts desire. They keep me updated every day with pictures, too, which always show just how much he’s enjoying his stay with them. I’ll definitely be using their services again.”

“Olga was incredible sending photos of our pup throughout the trip and dealing with our energetic puppy. The daily walks are great, and a nice yard for the pups to play and explore.”

“Cesar is amazing with my dog. Cesar is Always available and flexible to watch my friend, Dro. He sends the best photos while I am away and they seem to always come rIght on time when I’m missing my dog. Dro loves going and as long as Cesar is available, I’ll always have him watch my pup. If you are considering having Cesar watch your dog, just know that they will be in great hands!”

“I am so thankful to have found Lucy and her family to take care of Snowball! Lucy and her girls met with us beforehand to make sure Snowball would feel comfortable staying with them. They showered him with lots of affection! From the pictures she sent, I could see that Snowball gets a lot of hugs, head massages and cuddles from the family! Lucy sent a lot of updates and photos of Snowball everyday and he is very happy in all of them! I would trust them to watch Snowball anytime! Thanks Lucy and family!!”

“WOW, Rachel was an absolutely incredible sitter for my cat Mowgli! She knew how nervous I was to leave him, and was so kind and emotionally attuned. She sent me photos and videos every day that not only helped me feel more secure, but also gave us the opportunity to connect on how he was and how she could help him to feel more comfortable. By the end, it seemed like he didn't want to leave! Rachel is an absolute gem and 10/10 would book with her again.”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Carmelo! I loved the photos throughout the visit and really appreciated all the communication. It looked like he had an awesome time with your family!”

“We had an excellent experience with Michael boarding our dog for a week. We received regular updates, and it was clear our dog was in great hands. If you're looking for a communicative, flexible, and caring sitter, we highly recommend Michael!”

“Another wonderful stay with Jesse and Kimmy. Our doggie was so excited to get to their house and they sent lots of photo and video updates during her stay which we love!”


“Thor had a wonderful time with Noshin! She sent many pictures of him at the park and cuddled up on the couch. When I picked him up, he was clearly quite comfortable at her place. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Second time with Jessica and she’s been fantastic. Quick to respond, sends updates and pictures. Most importantly my little dachshund loves to go back, great experience across the board. Highly recommend!”

“Jifu’s family with Joki took a good care of our golden doodle, Kuli very well. They follow the caring instruction to feed Kuli and medications. Kuli has allergy and urinary incontinence, she needs to take medication multiple times a day, she also has bilious vomiting if she has empty stomach for too long, and she pees on herself in front of her legs because of the way she pees, those make more troubles to take care of her. But when we pick Kuli up, she is happy, clean, and no illness symptoms so I can tell they fed Kuli on time with correct dose of medications. Their house has a nice and big backyard, also a front yard with grass lawn. What’s a wonderful place for pups. Kuli likes to bask there, and play fetching. Thank you very much for having Kuli and thanks Joki to share the nice space and keep Kuli company.”

“Jie did a wonderful job watching our dog, Charlie, while we were out of town for five days. She sent lots of pictures and video which we appreciated. She also was very responsive. We look forward to having Charlie stay with Jie again soon!”

We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!

This was XiaoJiu’s second stay with Tracy, and we had another great experience! I felt very comfortable leaving XiaoJiu with her and really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the stay. XiaoJiu always looked happy and well cared for. Thank you so much, Tracy! We’ll definitely book with you again!

Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.

Angela and Kangwoong were amazing hosts for my dog Arisha. Arisha is a very shy dog but she felt at home staying at their place. I don't know if it's common but she was the only dog during her stay which made the stay extra special. Angela sent me 2 pictures a day as updates about the stay. I am ashamed to say it but I feel like Arisha was treated better than I am able to do at home... I would be extremely comfortable with and would love having Angela host Arisha again in the future.

Christopher was super accommodating with my two senior pups! Gave one of them medication and gave the other one a little extra walking so she would get her energy out. I love the glamour shots he sends me, they're always super happy and relaxed! One of the best sitters on this platform.

Shannon took great care of our lab Peanut and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages. He got plenty of walks and activities, and it was clear that he was well looked after. We really appreciated the communication and would happily book with Shannon again.

This is the third time Kelly and Ben have taken care of Nia during our annual visits to Palo Alto. Nia is right at home with both of them and can’t wait to get to their apartment when we drop her off. She loves her walks on campus and Kelly sends fun pics. We know Nia will be happy there and Kelly and Ben will take good care of her.
