“Stephanie did an amazing job with my Otter while I was gone on my trip! She took him to a dog party and walked/hiked with him every day. I received tons of updates and pictures. If you are leaving town, leave your pup with Stephanie, she is awe-inspiring.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”
“We’ve been so fortunate to connect with Bri and have her lovingly take care of our dog -who can be a handful-on repeat occasions. Her cheery disposition, and genuine care for animals is what keeps bringing us back to her. Leaving our pup for an extended period of time can be daunting, but knowing he’s in the care of Bri makes it a million times better. We recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“I can’t recommend Bruce enough! He took such amazing care of my babies while I was away. From the start, communication was smooth and professional—he sent photos, updates, and made me feel completely at ease. My pets absolutely adored him, and I could tell they were comfortable and well-loved the entire time. Their routines were followed perfectly, and I came back to happy, relaxed dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable, Bruce is the one. Truly the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!”
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”
“Gaileen is a star! She provided a warm and loving home away from home environment for our furry baby and we are so grateful for her care. We are definitely coming back to her and will recommend her to all our local fur parents!”
“Zuleima did a great job of taking care of my dog for a weekend trip. She sent me lots of photos and her children were extremely kind to my dog which I appreciate. She also responded super fast to my request, so I highly recommend!”
“Liza did great with my golden doodle. She was very quick with her responses and provided updates on my boy everyday. He seemed to have a good time with her. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My dog’s first time staying with Mariana. She came back happy, clearly receiving enough care and stimulation. I was sent plenty of pictures and updates, and did not worry while my dog was in the care of a new sitter.”
“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Such a great, loving family. They were very sweet and accommodating of my pups needs. They updated me with pictures daily and let me know how he was settling in. Overall, a really great experience and will definitely use them again in the future ❤️!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“Our dog was well taken care of, and Stephanie kept us apprised of how he was doing. Her dog is a sweetie and very calm, and patient with ours. Drop off and pick up was ideal at her tidy dog friendly home.”
“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”
“Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.”
“Sai was fantastic with watching Max while we were away for the holiday weekend! There was a ton of updates with photos of how he was doing, and Sai was awesome at communicating based on my schedule while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

Liza and her partner is very experienced with dog and I can tell they love them use their heart! Pipi looks so happy the photos! I miss my boy a lot, Liza always respond to my messages and questions very quick and with photos and a lot of details. I will definitely reuse their service!
Sai did an amazing job with Kali! It was her first time away from home, and she was given all the love she needed and wanted to be comfortable. Sai sent pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving us the reassurance we needed. We look forward to booking with her again!
Katherine took great care of our dog, Penny, while we were away. She sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind and showed how well Penny was doing. Katherine was easy to connect with, very responsive, and pleasant to deal with throughout the entire experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!
Kayla and her husband took such great care of Gus! They had him 11 days and sent photos and videos every day. They have a wonderful female Vizla who seemed to love Gus, and their big fenced yard gave him a safe place to play. They also went on walks and outings, even to the beach. He was glad to see me when I got back but he was looking out the rear window as we drove away, perhaps sorry his vacation was over! Highest regard for the care he received!
This was our first time having someone outside our immediate family to watch over our dog Quincy. So we weren’t sure how he would do with someone he didn’t know, especially with another dog in the house. But I knew from the first time I met up with Nafiye to meet Quincy, that everything was going to be ok. He was great with Quincy and he felt very comfortable and responded well with her. He got a long very well with her very trained dog and he had a very nice stay with her while we were out of town. We liked that it was very important to her that she spent a little bit of time with him before committing to watch g him for us. She sent pictures and videos of his stay and playing with them. We will definitely be using her in the future, if she is available.
Absolutely amazing! We were traveling through the area, and needed somewhere for our girls to stay. Diana had awesome communication, was so sweet to our pups, and made us feel very calm! So thankful we had them stay and if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll use again!
