“Michelle took fantastic care of our doggies! They seemed so happy and relaxed at her house and came back in great moods. They loved her dog. I think it was a great home away from home for my pups!”


“Katharine and Michael were amazing caretakers for our dog Kami! Right from the start they were very communicative and flexible for us and our dog. They sent updates on their adventures, and made Kami feel right at home. I would recommend them to everyone, and we will definitely have Kami stay with them again in the future.”


“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”


“We definitely recommend Maria and Nayibe. We were constantly updated with photos and we could tell that our dogs were being well cared for and even pampered. We will be booking again!”


“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”



“Dan and his family are our go-to sitters since we moved to the area. Our elderly dog, Stella, has stayed with them over the weekend twice and will be staying with them again next month for over a week. They have been more than accommodating with her needs, from providing her endless attention to making sure she gets her medications on time. They are patient with her fussiness and also make sure she gets plenty of time to rest. They also reach out to us during the visit with photos and updates! While they often sit multiple dogs at once, they maintain excellent control ensuring everyone is happy and healthy. They are retired so the pets receive loads of affection and are not left alone. Stella has grown quite attached to Dan and we look forward to having her stay with them again soon! We highly recommend this attentive, caring family!”

“I just picked up Mochi from her first stay with Yolanda. My pooch is tired and happy! Yolanda obviously has a ton of experience managing a group of dogs. All of her furry guests seemed relaxed and at home. Sooooooo grateful to have discovered such a generous caregiver : )”


“Rebecca & her family were the best! Lola was very well taken care of and we will continue to rebook with her for future trips. Your pet is in the best hands.”


“Kathy and Brad were fantastic! Definitely true animal lovers ! I was a bit nervous leaving my dog , but they sent multiple pictures. Definitely welcomed cooper in their home ! Next vacation we will be sending him back !”


“Caitlin watched cooper for a weekend for us. She was so kind. Asked questions about cooper and followed our instructions well. She sent pictures of him and updates. I would highly recommend her. We hope to be able to use her again.”


“Mindy is a great communicator and makes sure Jovi feels safe and comfortable! She takes lots of walks and gives her lots of love. Jovi is in good hands while I am away!”


“Lillian was so great with my Gus. I got lots of videos & photos during his stay to reassure me that my pup was doing well. She took him to dog parks & on a hike & I could tell he was having a blast! Lillian was a great communicator with me and I would definitely book again!”


“Brooke was amazing with my sweet girl Tinsel! She sent updates and was quick to respond when I messaged her. We will definitely be making her and her family our regular dog sitters!”



“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”


“Karen welcomed our little Betty with open arms. Betty loves to meet new people and she got to meet quite a few new folks thanks to Karen’s friendly condo building. Karen sent pictures throughout Betty’s stay, which we always appreciate. We are so glad to have found Karen and know that Betty is looking forward to her next visit.”


“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”


“Janice was great with our Frenchie Otis. He can be timid when staying at new locations and Janice made sure he was comfortable and provided us with plenty of videos, pictures, and updates. I would recommend Janice for your pup!”
