“Hanna was friendly and accommodating right from booking. She was great to work with. We picked up Ollie, our 13 week old puppy, after a long day away, and he was so happy and calm (rare and impressive for a puppy!) It's clear he was well cared for and got tons of attention. We will be using Hanna for dog care whenever possible in the future!”

“Where do we begin...this was a hard choice when trying to find someone to watch our fur baby for 6 days. He got to know Barb and a visit to her home for a meet and great. Then another visit for half a day. He was in heaven. Barb sent photos throughout the day. He was in a good mood and not anxious at all. Then we left TicTac in her care for 6 days. So many pictures came to us. He definitely has made new friends and was cared for so well. I highly recommend Barb 🌟”

“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”

“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”

“Nate was exceptionally tentative with the dogs and extremely communicative. Sky and Winnie had a wonderful time and we would definitely want to book with Nate again!”

“Ted is amazing! We would gladly leave our dog in his care again the next time we need a sitter. He sent daily updates and went above and beyond to ensure our dog wasn’t happy.”

“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!”

“We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She was available for us at the last minute, was a good communicator, easy to work with, responsive, and a great caregiver for our Mitzi. Definitely recommend her, and we would absolutely use her again!”

“Last month, when I had to travel to Chicago, I needed to find a sitter for my Maltese, Meimei. That was Meimei’s first time leaving me and staying in a new environment, so both of us were quite nervous. Fortunately, Melanie turned out to be a very responsible host. She frequently sent me updates with Meimei’s photos and videos, and she always replied to my messages very quickly. Before the official stay, we even met in person once, and she prepared a list and asked me many thoughtful questions, which showed how attentive she is. She even paid attention to Meimei’s little habits and feeding preferences. When we picked Meimei up, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we would highly recommend Melanie. We would definitely trust her with Meimei again in the future.”

“Sunny gave us the best wedding gift of all: peace of mind while we were away for a week! We were unable to bring our beloved pup to our venue, but she was well loved during our time away. We received routine photo updates and messages, and could tell that Pep was right at home with Sunny and Eric. They are the best!!”

“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.”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”


“Louisa was wonderful with our Ziggy, per the usual. She is excellent at communicating, easy to coordinate with, and goes above and beyond. We will absolutely work with her again!”

“Rylee and roommate, Megan, did a great job caring for our dog, Scout. They are young women, very responsible, with a good space and ability to care for dogs while travelling. Walking paths and open areas for the dogs to walk and explore nearby. Thumbs up!!”

“Mia and Taowei took excellent care of Riggins. They sent updates every day and took the most gorgeous pictures. I felt like Riggins was in the best hands possible and they loved him like their own.”

“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”

“Gillian is the best! She’s been so great with our pup Milo, even when he had an injury and required special care. It’s clear that Milo loves her too as he always pulls her towards her house!”

“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”

Lexi was great and took excellent care of Cookie. We were always informed about her well being. Cookie likes food toppers and Lexi provided when we ran out of stuff. Cookie also takes daily medication and Lexi did great job making sure she didn’t miss her dose. I would certainly be looking to see if Lexinis available for our future needs.
I couldn't be happier! Elizabeth & Rodrigo were amazing with Timber. They Sent updates and pictures regularly. Our boy has some real aniexiety from being displaced after a house fire and they took him On and cared for him. I will definitely be calling them again. You can tell they love caring for your fur babies. Again I can't recommend them enough. Thank you soooo much!

I can only say the best things about Christina! I booked last minute for an unexpected trip, and she helps me to take care of Lucy my dog very well. I got an updates and pictures of her every day and many times during the day. She was extra care and lovely with my dog. I felt like Lucy feels like she was home with me, as I saw her so comfortable with Chris carings and lovely attentions. Chris is a sweetheart and I fully recommend her as she will give your dog the best care! Thank you so much Christina I will definitely continue booking with you in the future! I appreciate it so much how good you were with my Lucy! xoxo Dani + Lucy ❤️

Betsy took great care of my quiet little Beagle Cocoa for a week in November. I'm grateful for her clear communication, for the care and attention she took when getting to know Cocoa and me, and her thoughtfulness in looking after Cocoa. Betsy's kids were wonderful with Cocoa too. Highly recommended sitter!

Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.

Hanna was friendly and accommodating right from booking. She was great to work with. We picked up Ollie, our 13 week old puppy, after a long day away, and he was so happy and calm (rare and impressive for a puppy!) It's clear he was well cared for and got tons of attention. We will be using Hanna for dog care whenever possible in the future!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’ll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Esme again while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! She made Esme feel right at home and communicated well with us throughout Esme's stay. We're so grateful to be able to leave Esme with someone so trustworthy and would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an incredible sitter!
