“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”
“I brought Jake out of town with us and my initial plan changed last minute requiring a sitter. At first, I was hesitant to try the service because of how special Jake is to us. However, I'm glad I did Katherine was wonderful. She provided updates and pictures of Jake's stay with her throughout the time she cared for him. I will definitely use her service again.”

“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”
“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”
“Elizabeth and her family were such wonderful dog sitters. We have a senior dog with special needs, and they took very good care of him, giving him lots of attention and care. We very much appreciate the special care, attention, and communication. We received regular updates and if there were any health concerns, we knew immediately. I had peace of mind knowing our senior dog was well cared for and monitored closely.”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“Without a doubt, the pet-sitting service I've used is top-notch. Extremely meticulous and prompt, we easily trust our cat (Boots) to Guillermina's care. Guillermina has shown exceptional professionalism, a keen eye for detail, and a remarkable understanding of Boots (our cat). Guillermina is highly dedicated and efficient in her work. She consistently sends out pictures and messages daily, diligently following all instructions. Her efforts are greatly appreciated by Boots, who adores her! Guillermina deeply understands animals due to her extensive experience and impressive track record working with cats and dogs. We plan to have her care for our Boots and dog (Yolly) during our upcoming trip soon! Guillermina is an exceptional sitter with a warm and caring personality towards cats and dogs; you will not regret it! Thank you again, Guillermina, for all you did for our Boots; YOU are the best!”
“Susan was great! She sent plenty of pics and photos daily of my fur baby. He was super happy and enjoyed himself. He stayed for 9 days and had a ton of fun. She has a couple of sweet fur babies of her own which make for nice playmates to keep company. Overall I would book her again and again whenever she is available to watch my pet if needed. Thanks so much for being awesome!”

I’m so grateful.”

“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”
