“Barbara was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and made sure my dog felt comfortable staying with her. Barbara sent plenty of pictures which reassured me my dog was in good hands. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave! I would 100% recommend Barbara and will be trusting my dog in her hands again in the future.”


“Jeongeun was amazing! Bruno was so well taken care of for the entire weekend he was with her. She is very caring and communicative. We couldn’t be happier and felt so reassured with Jeongeun! Thanks so much!”


“Alix was amazing! She looked after Loki and took care of his special needs, she was friendly and caring. Will definitely seek her again when we need dog sitting support again.”

“Hong was great with our energetic 14-month old pup, Archie! Hong took Archie for multiple walks in the woods and dog park visits each day, and sent us photos and videos. We could tell that Archie was having a great time, and that the experiences were very enriching. Archie can have anxiety around new people, especially men, but he really seemed to bond to Hong which was great to see. Archie was totally relaxed when we picked him up, and seemed just as happy to stay at Hong’s house as to get in the car. We cannot recommend Hong highly enough!”


“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”


“Dohwee was amazing! Our pup was immediately excited when we did a meet and greet, you can tell Dohwee is a dog person! He gave us great updates and made sure to ask questions and our dog was happy to see us but also clearly would have been fine staying with Dohwee longer 😂”


“Natasha and her husband are phenomenal!! Incredibly responsible and genuine. They took such great care of our little girl. Her weekend included all of all her favorite things - walks, adventures to coffee shops with friends, mental stimulation, cuddling on the couch, even tooth brushing! I received frequent updates and could tell Poppy was having a great time and in great care, which I am so grateful for! Would definitely recommend Natasha and hope to call on her whenever we need a Boston sitter in the future!!”

“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”


“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”


“Cora went above and beyond while watching our dog Remi, she was very helpful with his recent injury care, sent lots of photos and updates, and helped calm his anxiety, would highly recommend!”


“Kevin took terrific care of Snow during a business trip. He was super-responsive and sensitive to her needs. Snow loved the company of his puppy Skye, whose name just happens to coincide with that of her deceased sister (who was a corgi not a husky)!”


“We are so grateful to March and his family for taking great care of Billie while we were away. March was extremely communicative and it was very clear from his messages and photos that Billie was very well cared for and happy. We’ve already booked him for our next trip!”


“Angela took such great care of my pup Gilly! She was super responsive and sent consistent updates throughout the day. In every photo I could tell that Gilly was comfortable and having a great time. Would definitely trust Angela to watch Gilly again!”

“Our dear Anna and Yoshiyuki once again were the best caretakers of Atlas that we could have ever asked for. We were on vacation abroad for over two weeks and there was not a single second when we had to worry about Atlas's well-being as we constantly and consistently got photo and video updates from Anna throughout each day. We could clearly tell Anna and Yoshiyuki loved her as if she was their own. We know Atlas already misses them and is looking forward to seeing them again. Thank you very much!”


“Paige and Vijay took great care of our 1.5 year old pitbull while we went away for a long weekend. They sent many pictures and messages to keep us updated, and were very responsive. Our pup came home happy and very tired! Would definitely recommend!”


“I am so grateful for Rebecca caring for Stella. She did an excellent job with my dog. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her for all pet sitting services.”


“Pam and her family treated our dog with care and kindness. Our dog had trouble eating and they went out of their way to made sure she ate. I’d recommend them as they are reliable and care about dogs.”


“Suni and her partner were amazing caretakers to our doggo, Lainey, while we were out of town! Suni always responded quickly to messages and provided daily updates on Lainey. In all the pics, Lainey was having the best time - whether that was napping or going on her many walks. Lainey was in loving and very capable hands. We will definitely use Suni in the future! Thanks so much!”


“Jieming and his wife went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable at his home. I was able to go on my trip stress-free because I received updates frequently. He is also a very responsive and prompt communicator and trustworthy caretaker.”
