“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”


“Madeleine (and Michelle) was great. She was thoughtful with the planning and had good communication with daily photos and updates. Toaster had a blast with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Julie was absolutely fantastic. She knows dog behavior very well and I completely trusted her with my 12 week old puppy who is very nervous. Julie went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“Manuela took great care of our dog, Izzy, for the week. She asked detailed questions about Izzy's care routine to make sure the transition was as smooth as possible. We received photos and updates throughout the stay. We'd be happy for Izzy to stay with her again.”

“Da Yeon was perfect. Really clean lookong apartment, nice neighborhood to walk Scout. Drop off and pick up super easy. Willfor sure use again next year when we visit.”


“Kristin and Bruce (and their kids) took amazing care of my dog for the week he was with them!

My dog came home happy, tired, and well loved and I am so appreciative for all the effort they put in to make that happen!”


“Grace and her family provided excellent care for my dog Maisie. I have already scheduled two more visits! I recommend them without reservation. You will not be disappointed!”

“Andrew took care of our young Golden retriever during our spring break trip and he was amazing. He sent us updates and pictures on a daily basis and took such a good care of our puppy that is on a special diet and frequent meals. When we picked him up after a week, he was happy relaxed and in great shape. Thank you so much for the amazing extended care you provided to our dog !”


“Janice and Mark are the best dog sitters you will ever find. They were so genuinely caring of our little Honey P. Janice sent pictures and updates often. I truly felt like Honey P was a spoiled grand dog while in their home. I will never hesitate to book them again and again. 💗”


“Joan was so great with our pup! He can be a handful sometimes and Joan did such a great job of not only attending to his puppy energy and mischief but also was great at easing our anxieties about leaving him for the weekend. Joan sent a lot of photos with a daily update and even got our pup out to a dog park! Would absolutely book with her again!”


“This was the 2nd time Katie and Samuel’s family took care of Jarvis while we were away. We were very excited when they were available for these dates because Jarvis had a great time with them the first time. They did such an amazing job with him again and it really seemed like Jarvis felt right a home. They always send frequent updates and pictures which is really appreciated :)”



“We had a family emergency and Lorelei was able to take our dog super short notice. She sent lots of pictures and it looked like Seamus had a good time!”


“Emily and family were great! They fully welcomed Sally in to their home and treated her like one of their own. Emily was very flexible and easy to communicate with when a family emergency changed up our plans for Sally's stay. We will definitely request to rebook with Emily in the future :).”


“Polyanna is a very communicative and responsive, my dog Ziggy had a great time! She even gave a good recommendation for a no pull dog harness as well. I would recommend Polyanna for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Drop off and pick were super smooth. Benji had zero complaints about his over-night with Margaret ;) We will definitely book with Margaret again!”


“Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.”
