Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!

Megan and Nick created the most comfortable home away from home for Brady. He came home so happy and energetic. We got regular updates and pictures which was comforting to know he was doing well throughout our trip. We would for sure recommend them and book them to watch Brady again.

Saty took wonderful care of Gemini while I was away on vacation. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gemini was being cared for with the same love and attention as if he were his own dog. I would absolutely book with Saty again.

Raheem is warm and friendly and my boy Nippy took to him immediately. We were grateful for his availability when we had to make a last minute reservation due to travel. He was accommodating when we needed to extend Nippy’s stay. Overall I would recommend Raheem to take care of your fur babies.

Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!

Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.

From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!

We found just who we needed- an outstanding sitter for my sensitive rescue pup. Gianna and Billy have a great calm warmth that Malarkey feels safe around. I can tell they really feel for him and understand his cues and this made him open up to them at record speed. Gianna’s photo updates were the best! I will now be comfortable going away without my fur son.

Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!

Rishi and his family provided excellent communication, engagement, and care for our dog Stella. Rishi sent pictures & videos often and Stella looked VERY happy walking and playing with their dog Pearl. Even smiling while napping! They played together so nicely which was such a relief as Stella is timid around aggressive or too assertive of dogs.. Rishi and his family are true dog lovers and their dog Pearl is very well trained and sweet! I highly recommend, especially if your dog has a playful, easy going, and friendly temperament!
