“Julie was the perfect sitter! Providing us with frequent updates of our sweet Okie, giving Okie all the love and attention she needed & being so accommodating to our drop off/pick up schedule. I could tell that Okie really enjoyed her time with Julie and is looking forward to her next stay!”

“Eric is warm and caring and has a wonderful way with the dogs he cares for. Our dog Moose had trouble staying with another sitter but did great with Eric! We felt so comfortable leaving Moose with him.”

“Bo & Xiaosong were AMAZING! Our Westie Fergus had a wonderful long stay and we’ll definitely be back. We greatly appreciated the frequent texts, photos and videos which showed us Fergus was enjoying himself! There happened to be a heatwave while we were away and Bo & Xiaosong took extra effort to take good care, walking at early and late hours when the heat was minimal. They even cooked him chicken when they worried he wasn’t eating enough! Such outstanding dog sitters! Highly, highly recommend!”


“Sarah was great with my nervous hound girl Minnie. She was gracious enough to set up a meet and greet on short notice, and gave me peace of mind by communicating with me and sending photos of my dog when she was watching her. I was lucky to find Sarah and would use her again.”

“Tomoe and her family took wonderful care of our 5 year old labradoodle. Tomoe kept me updated daily with photos of how Moose was doing . It is obvious that Tomoe takes looking after a pet very seriously and I felt completely at ease while we were away .We will definitely be having him stay with Tomoe again .”


“Steve and Kira are fantastic! They love dogs and have a great house and yard. They stayed in touch with pictures and text updates. I have total trust in them taking care of my dog.”
““Excellent”experience with Su. He gave daily updates with photos. Really cared about Koda and reached out when things came out. Highly recommended him to family and friends. Definitely use him again !! Thanks for taking good care of our dog.”

“Kayla is an awesome sitter! She gives daily updates! Much appreciated 🥹. Maribelle had so much fun staying playing with her pups. Will definitely come back ❤️”

“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”

“We had such a great experience with Robert, Jen, and their lovely family! They took care of our King Charles Cavalier, Osler, for a week and treated him like one of their own. He was well-fed, taken out frequently for potty breaks, and we received thoughtful updates with photos 1–2 times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their two daughters were so sweet with Osler, and he got along really well with their two friendly dogs. It was clear he had a wonderful time and felt right at home. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave him — we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”


“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”

“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Hong made me feel really comfortable leaving my pup with him. He was super organized about my dog's needs at the meet and greet, provided plenty of updates and pics during the stay, and was overall a pleasure. I knew my dog was in good hands while I was away!”

“This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.”

“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”

“Sarah is the best and so great with our Piper! Piper always loves to visit Sarah's family and we are completely confident that Piper's in safe, loving hands at Sarah's place. Thank you, Sarah!”

“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”

“Francois is everything you could want in a pet sitter. He’s very obviously a true animal lover — kind and caring — and he’s very responsible. We left our 4 month old Airedale puppy with him for 4 nights while we went overseas, and it was such a comfort to have Francois send us regular updates and photos showing what a lovely time he and Biggles were having. If you are looking for a loving home-away-from-home for your pet, you have found it. Thank you, Francois!!”

“Rebecca is absolutely wonderful and we are so lucky we found her to help take care of our dog Winnie when we were out of town. She went out of her way making sure Winnie felt loved and took great care of her for us. She kept in touch with us and we did not worry for a second knowing Winnie was in great hands. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough!”

Kim took such great care of Louie! I could tell right away that she was a true dog lover. She sent several pictures and checked in with me over the duration of the stay. She instantly eased my anxiety as I hadn’t left Louie for an overnight stay in a while and I could tell he was comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend Kim!

This is the second time our dog, James, has stayed with Iana, his favorite sitter. She sent us a video and many pictures daily, keeping us updated on how he was doing. James looked so happy and relaxed, clearly enjoying himself in a familiar and loving environment. We will definitely ask her to take care of him again!

We are so grateful to Emily for taking such amazing care of our dog, Aria, while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped Aria off, we knew she was in great hands. Emily was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs, Aria settled in right away! Aria enjoyed her daily walks and playing in her fenced backyard. Throughout the stay, Emily kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable Aria was in her home. It was clear she treated Aria like one of her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Aria with Emily again. Highly recommended!
