She always responds quickly to messages/ check inâs which is nice, especially when youâre away. Will definitely book with her again.â

âKathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!â

âThis 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 itâs her own!â

âZhengting and her husband are amazing caretakers. We had excellent communication during my pupâs entire stay with constant updates. Lucy got lots of walks and playtime. Would definitely recommend and book with Zhengting again!â
âAfter a meet and greet. Koko stayed overnight at Maria. She is a nervous dog and does not like it when we are gone. Maria send pictures of Koko enjoying the back yard. When we picked her up she was happy to see us however we noticed she had good sleep en was full of energy. When see stayed somewhere else before say could not sleep and was exhausted. Thank you Maria for making Koko's stay as comfortable as possible.â

âWe 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. Michaelâs communication was outstanding â 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.â

About: I have been blessed with pets all my life. I have had dogs since I was a child. In the past 5 years I have also helped care for my daughter's amazing cats (a.k.a grandma's urchins). I truly believe animals make us better human beings and the world a better place. I care with endless love, respect and understanding. I work 14 days a month and am home the rest, able and eager to offer your fur babies my full attention and loving care. In my home pers are welcome to roam free and lounge wherever they feel comfortable. I keep my place pet safe, clean and free of clutter. I carefully follow the ownerâs instructions and preferences for pet care.

âNeed 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 xoxoxoâ

âThank you Na for your outstanding dog-sitting services for our lovable Roxie!!! We appreciated the daily photos/videos keeping us informed how our dog was doing. Roxie looks forward to coming back in the future!â

âIt was a great experience having Natalie take care of Isabella while I was out of town. Natalie and her family provided a warm, comfortable environment, so Isabella was comfortable from the start. Natalie is very considerate and that along with her experience with dogs was comforting to me.â

âMicaela, thank you so much for taking such great care of Sunny Sunshine! It was wonderful to have a little getaway, knowing that he was in your capable hands. Thanks again and happy holidays to you.â

âThis was our dog Cloverâs first extended stay with Anna (multiple days instead of doggy day care) and she had a wonderful time. Communication with Anna was great and we got lots of updates and pictures. Clover gets along great with Annaâs dog Duke. We will definitely work with Anna again.â

âCarlos provided expert care to our puppy when we were on a weekend trip. We felt a sense of relief when we met him because he is such a natural with dogs and our puppy warmed up to him immediately.â

âI think this was the 4th time Tilly has stayed with Diana and Michael. They are so friendly and responsive, and I always trust Tilly is getting taken great care of! I appreciate their photos and updates. Would absolutely keep working with them.â

âAnna was wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and videos and gave me daily updates on how she was doing. I felt totally at ease while I was away. Would absolutely book again.â

âAndres and Araceli have been fabulous for our dog Jersey. Jersey has been with them multiple times and for durations ranging between 1 week and over 2 weeks. Jersey loves to be at their house; they are very responsible and highly caring. They provide regular updates and are also very responsive. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a caring and loving Dogsitter.â
âMario was fantastic! He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and kept me posted with pics and texts throughout my week long trip. This was my first time leaving Tilly for a trip and I couldn't have been luckier in finding such a great trainer and dog lover for her to stay with. â

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 dogâs 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!

Ivan was absolutely wonderful, and we couldnât 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. Itâs 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. đśâ¤ď¸
