1. Howard & Kathleen R.
“Howard and Kathleen are a pleasure to work with. They reply to messages almost immediately. They have a nice house and our dogs feel happy and comfortable there.”
2. Brianna V D.
“Brianna was AMAZING with our two dogs, one young and spicy spaniel and one very old, shy puggle. She was able to accommodate both of their personalities and gave frequent updates via both text and pictures. They were very happy to come home, but our spaniel was circling her and getting love from her even after we came into her house to pick them up, showing how much he really adores her. You should DEFINITELY consider asking for Brianna to care for your beloved pups! We will absolutely be doing so again in the future!”

“Bruce is an excellent sitter. He was so attentive to my fur baby’s needs. His communication and pictures was top notch. I highly recommend him to sit for any of your pets. Wish I could give him more stars but only 5 are allowed. Will definitely have Bruce sit for my dog again!”

6. Stephanie P.
“Stephanie had a houseful of dogs when I dropped Kasha off for her first time there, and Kasha was a bit overwhelmed. But photos I received from Stephanie soon after showed Kasha looking calm and comfortable. Stephanie is obviously very experienced with dogs, and Kasha was well cared for. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”

“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!”
10. Bianca G.
“Bianca was awesome with Pepper! She sent pics a few times a day and made sure Pepper stayed active playing with other pups and taking her on long walks.”
11. Alexandra K.
“Alexandra is an actual angel sent from heaven. This was my first time leaving Beau (7mo labradoodle) with someone for a long 10 day trip and as a first time pet owner I was obviously anxious about it. Alexandra’s communication and video updates were unmatched. My aunt who left her puppy with a kennel was jealous of all the quality updates I received throughout my trip. Alexandra naturally put my mind fully at ease and I was confident Beau had the time of his life and that all his needs and wants were met. I actually think he may have enjoyed his days more with her than with me since I work from home all day and with her he was pampered daily with lots of walks, fetch in the back yard, visits to the park, play dates, and more. She’s an absolute gem 💎 and you won’t be sorry you trusted her with your fur baby.”
12. Mariana A.
“Mariana was GREAT for Sparky and shared multiple photos. I have multiple day cares scheduled with her and I definitely recommend her to everyone!”
13. Bianka C.
“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”
14. Maja A.
“Maja was super nice and I can tell Teddy was very comfortable. I received puppy mail and she reached out with all questions. I would let Maia watch Teddy again for sure.”
15. Noemi & David B.
“Noemi was wonderful with my dog and accomodating to my last minute booking! She sent me daily doggy mail and updated me on his activities. She has a beautful large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play. Very pleasant and my dog seemed happy when i picked him up also so i know he enjoyed himself! Will definitely book with Noemi again!”
