“Sean was great and watched my pup on Christmas Day. He communicated effectively and I felt very comfortable leaving Sadie with him. He has a fenced in yard and she had a fun day. I would highly recommend him to watch your dog!”
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
“Ismael and his wife were so great to Sadie. Their home is very dog-friendly with a big fenced-in backyard. They sent photos throughout the day that made us so much more comfortable. We will definitely be going back!”
“Frankie had a blast with David, Betsy and the dogs. When we got home that evening she went straight to her bed, worn out from a full day of playing. They have a great setup in their backyard with plenty of space, obstacles, and toys to keep the dogs happy. David and Betsy look after dogs as if they were their own and take care of individual needs of each dog.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“We had to book someone to watch our dog last minute while we had an appointment nearby and Eri was available. Our dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and she sent photos and updates that reassured us that our dog was in good hands. If we’re in the area again and in need of a sitter, we’d definitely reach out to Eri again. Thank you for watching Koda last minute and I’m glad he had a good time! 😊”
About: I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :) I’m currently out of work so I have an open schedule to focus on your pup. Bowie would love a playmate to zoom around with! I have a big complex and a little gated dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months for patrolling. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.

Jun ho is a phenomenal dog sitter! Petunia was taken care of as though she's family: he made her fresh chicken, beef, and fish to go with her meals when she was struggling with her appetite, took her for long, leisurely walks when the weather permitted, and even gave Petunia a gift from his dog, Boki! She was so happy at pick-up, she tried to guide me back into Jun ho's home to spend more time. Petunia has a torn ACL and Jun ho took gentle care of her. She felt safe away from home which means a lot to a dog parent. I will be booking again, and can't recommend him enough.
Jingjing and family were all very kind and thoughtful. Remy had a couple of accidents during daycare (he’s recently started marking and sometimes goes a bit overboard) and these were met with absolute understanding and grace. He had a good time playing with another dog they were watching and seems to have enjoyed his day overall!
Brianna was great! She dog-sat for Juno, our 8 year-old Bernedoodle, in our home for 10 days. She came by for a meet and greet a few days beforehand to get the lay of the land and meet Juno. Bri is a great communicator , which gave us comfort, as we were leaving our dog and house with someone we only recently met (albeit with excellent references). We got lots of pics and updates, and our home was immaculate upon our return. Very professional. Will hire again. Highly recommend!
Charlie has been an exceptional dog sitter. He is reliable and genuinely cares for my dog, who is always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. Charlie follows instructions carefully, communicates clearly, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is well cared for! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Hannah is truly amazing! She cared for Bo as if he were her own and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She was super responsive and kept me updated with lots of great photos of the pups having a blast together. I had total peace of mind knowing Bo was in her hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Hannah again!
