She always responds quickly to messages/ check in’s which is nice, especially when you’re away. Will definitely book with her again.”

“This was my first time to receive service from Minori and it was amazing experience. Exceptional is an understatement! Her attentiveness and the way of taking care of our dog Marshall are really commendable. She constantly update us by sharing videos of walking to pee, having fun time playing with him and giving him treats. It really allowed us to feel relieved and fully enjoy our trip. We would be happy to entrust our beloved pet to her experienced hands again in the future. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to her family for their exceptional love and care towards our fur baby and welcoming our boy into their home. We feel incredibly blessed to have met you all. Thank you! * I definitely recommend Minori to be your pet sitter, she will go above and beyond and give love to your pet as if it’s her own!”

“We were incredibly lucky to find Michael. Mateo is a high-energy, reactive Aussie Labradoodle puppy, and Michael was the perfect match. Mateo stayed with him for six days and received daily walks/runs, structure, and amazing care. Michael’s communication was outstanding — daily updates, photos, and even activity stats. I honestly wondered who was on vacation, me or Mateo! Michael is professional, reliable, and truly knowledgeable. He noticed a possible ear infection, shared helpful advice, and even offered to take Mateo to our vet. When I mentioned Mateo had missed grooming, Michael offered to take him to his groomer as well. Even when Mateo had a classic puppy moment and chewed up a pair of their expensive shoes, Michael and his wife were nothing but gracious and kind. Michael genuinely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely use him again and are already recommending him to other dog owners.”

“Need a reliable, trustworthy and responsible dog sitter? Allison is the perfect match!!!! :-) For an animal lover, that's a big deal - there are far too few people (and especially businesses) out there that genuinely care about the animals, and aren't really just there for the money - This is NOT Allison. From the moment she greeted Stitch, I knew that he would be in good hands. She took her time to get to know him. It's always a good sign when dogs are comfortable with someone, and this was definitely the case with Allison.Her home is ideal with a wonderful large backyard so perfect for accommodating. The stress of leaving your pet for long periods of time can really have an impact on your vacation but luckily we didn't have to worry! Allison sent us daily pics via the app and was always very responsive to any questions. It felt so good and was such a relief to actually enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog stitch was in excellent hands! The prices for her services are more than reasonable. She really goes above and beyond and is very professional and conscientious. We'll def be using Allison again xoxoxo”

We definitely will use Anmol again! Very communicative and love her calm energy, which allowed my typically anxious/reactive dog to get comfortable with her very quickly. She was willing to do a meet and greet before we confirmed booking and was very understanding of my dog's personality. She provided timely updates and pictures, which we loved. I think our dog will be very excited to stay with her again!

Bosco had a wonderful time with Akio (oh, and Angela and her family were pretty cool, too). He enjoyed the walks, the dog park, the constant company and wrestling with Akio - the icing on the puppy cake was the crunchy homemade sweet potato treats (I'm jealous myself). 10/10, would book again :)

Zhichen helped us watching our dog for two weeks and she is absolutely amazing in taking care of Aki! Zhichen is very thoughtful and attentive, tailoring based on dog’s routines and habits. Zhichen is very responsive, a great communicator, and really made sure that Aki is well take care of! She also shares daily pictures and videos, where we get little snippets of our dog while we are away! I highly recommend Zhichen!

If ever you need a dog sitter, Angi is the best!!! Just a short notice and she’s fine. Her family loves pets because they have some. Her place is so safe, clean, spacious and large enough for my dog to go around. I highly recommend Angi. Happy New Year!!!!

Ivan was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very first day, it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. Our dog stayed with Ivan for 8 days, and throughout that time we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such loving and responsible hands. Ivan kept us regularly updated and sent photos, which meant so much and gave us total peace of mind. He was incredibly accommodating and treated our dog as if he were his own. We came back to a happy, calm dog - which truly says it all. It’s rare to find someone you can fully trust, and Ivan is absolutely one of those people. We are beyond grateful and will definitely be using him again. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional and loving care. 🐶❤️
