“Jodi and her family are the absolute best - our pup has stayed with them many times now during our travels. We think he might like their house better than ours and joke that he is going to sleepover camp! Highly recommend.”

“Jessie was great with our 2 dogs. She was very caring and took their individual needs into account to ensure she was creating a comfortable experience for our dogs that tend to be a bit anxious. She was communicative throughout the entire stay and sent picture/updates. Very professional and would recommend Jessie to anyone.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the loving care given Starrie while I was away. Being a neurotic dog mom I had been reluctant to leave her in the past but now I’ve found Starrie a second home. I highly recommend Nathalie and Sean and will definitely be booking in the future.”

11. Eric S.
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
12. Nalix T.
“My first experience was Rover was great. Nalix was amazing! We had a video chat before meeting. Then when she had my pups she communicated very well with check ins, pics and videos. Definitely will be using her services again. Chance & Skyy had a great time at her home.”
13. Gil O.
“From the beginning, Gil demonstrated an impressive level of attentiveness, taking the time to understand Olive's needs and preferences. Regular updates, complete with photos, reassured me that Olive was not only looked after but genuinely loved. Gil treated Olive as if she were his own, and this personalized approach made all the difference. Throughout the stay, Gil's dedication and responsibility in ensuring Olive's well-being exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Gil to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions—Olive came back happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with the extra love she received. A big thank you to Gil for providing such a wonderful experience—I will undoubtedly be reaching out again for future pet-sitting needs!”

“Our lucky dog Betty had a great few days with Maryanne! She provided many pictures and updates about their nice walks and activities. Maryanne is a warm, lovely and intelligent person who obviously loves dogs!”
15. Cora C.
“I was in a bit of a pickle and needed someone to take care of my fur baby with short notice. Cora was very quick to respond in my time of need. She was extremely communicative leading up to the stay and this continued while Knox was in her care. I received several pictures that perfectly illustrated how happy he was due to her great care. I would 100% use Cora again (hopefully with a little more of a heads up).”
16. Eddy J.
“I could not recommend Eddy highly enough. He was able to help on super short notice, was extremely diligent passing along updates, great pictures, and answering any questions we had. Anytime we need a dog sitter I’ll be returning to him.”

It’s so comforting to be able to depend on a sitter who truly cares ❤️ grateful to have connected with Nicole, and looking forward to booking with her again!”
20. Annie J.
“Annie was the BEST! This was our second booking and I felt my dog was very safe and well taken care of! Daily walks and pictures were sent without asking and Annie accommodated me so much by allowing me to come and pick up my dog for a couple hours! Annie was very kind, very understanding and overall a great sitter! Very loving family and my dog was welcomed and helped by not only Annie but her boyfriend and daughter as well, Ozzie looked so comfortable and happy in pictures and I definitely feel grateful to have found her, I will definitely rebook when needed! Thank you so so much Annie!”
