“Joerg and Lake were so great to Kobo! I was updated everyday with photos. They answered any questions promptly. They exceeded my expectations! I am happy that Kobo and Elizabeth got along and became the best of friends. Thank you!!!!”


22. Ella V.

“We were thrilled with Rosie's stay with Ella. From the moment we arrived and Ella showed us around, Rosie felt so comfortable. She was welcomed to explore the apartment and snuggle into the sofa. Ella sent several updates with photos and we felt very confident Rosie was being well cared for - with much time for play and walks. We will definitely book with Ella again.”


23. Abigail & Christopher Z.

“Abigail and Chris were wonderful with Buzz and Buzz had a GREAT time! When I picked him up and walked him towards my car, he actually wanted to turn around and go back to their place because that's how comfortable he was! I am very grateful for finding these two and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a loving sitter and home for their baby. Thank you both so much for all the updates throughout and taking such good care of him!”


24. Lauren C.

“Had a wonderful experience with booking Peanut! Peanut’s stay with Lauren and family was absolutely amazing. We did a meet and greet the day before and everyone was very welcoming. My mind and heart were at ease immediately. During the stay we got updates and pictures! Peanut was right at home!!!! Thank you very much and we will absolutely be booking again as well as referring friends! 🥰”


25. Rachel K.

“Rachel and her family we so great with our German shepherd and terrier mix PUPPIES! They are puppies and ever changing. She kept us updated on feeding,pooping, activities, with included pictures. It was a nervous 8 days but the reassurance of the communication was very helpful.”




26. Sarah D.

“Sarah was super kind, attentive, and it was clear I had nothing to worry about. I was glad my dog had such a caring home away from home with a buddy. Really appreciated her communication and pickup and drop off.”


27. Patricia A.

“Hippo and Ollie have stayed with Patricia several times and most recently while I had my third child. They are senior dogs and have various issues, so I SO appreciate Patricia taking them on! The pickup and drop off is a huge help for us with having little kids. She always updates us during their stay and is very gracious about their special needs. Highly recommend!”


28. Andrea K.

“EXTRAORDINARY! That is the only word I can use to describe my Sophie’s experience with Andrea and her family. Andrea cared for my aging Bassett Hound for 8 days. Sophie is a “special needs dog” in that she has one eye, has glaucoma in the other and is skittish. Andrea administered eye drops and coaxed her into walking outside when Sophie prefers to sleep the day away. Even Andrea’s children took time to sit with Sophie and from all the pix I received it was evident that she had become part of the family. We really appreciated that Andrea’s son bicycled to my son’s house to pick up additional meds for Sophie. It was obvious that Sophie was very comfortable with Andrea and I would gladly leave her with Andrea again. She is truly the best pet sitter Sophie has ever had.”


29. Myriam B.

“Myriam and her family were patient and loving with my senior dog for overnight boarding. They really made her feel comfortable and cared for, and sent me good updates and photos. I would definitely book with Myriam again!”




30. Corina T.


“Corina was extremely responsive throughout our dog's stay, and provided our dog with a great mix of exercise and relaxation. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a dogsitter!”


31. Laura & Vladimir H.
“When it comes to leaving my pup with someone, I can trust very few people, and two of them are Vlad and Laura. They are the most loving and caring couple to all animals. The few times I've left my pup with them, it has been nothing but an amazing experience. They are true animal lovers. Look no further. You have found the best sitters in your area.”


32. Jamison B.

“This is our second time using Jameson and we are continually thrilled with the level of care he provides for our pup. She came back happy and healthy :)”




33. Alexandra S.

About: I grew up with 3 Goldens so I have plenty of experience and skills with different ages and energy levels! I will take your dogs on long scenic walks to parks and on different trails, and I am able to run them if that is something they like to do. I have also been a sitter for 4 Paws for Ability which is a service dog in training program, therefore I have skills pertaining to all different breeds and personalities. My calendar is very flexible so I’m happy to take care of or watch your pup any time - short or long term. They can stay with me or I can go to them! I have my own home which they are welcome to wander around and make themselves comfortable. I live in a residential area so your dog will be very safe with me!


34. Christian P.

“Seriously the best sitter for our cat, Toast! Great communicator, super flexible with drop off and pick up, and just a great person to work with. We received tons of pictures while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Toast was having his own great vacation in Christian’s apartment. Christian also went above and beyond by packing up Toast in his carrier on his own (Toast is quite a fighter when it comes to his carrier), and that was greatly appreciated. Will keep booking with him every time we go away!”


35. Paula T.

“I was looking for a sitter, with dog(s), to bring my playful girl from time to time to play; her furry friend moved out and she was lonely. Found Paula! When I picked my girl up, she was happy like she wasn't for weeks! She even ate there!!! (which is our all times struggle...). Tired, and content, she went straight to sleep :) I already brought her again today, and she ran in and started playing, like she was there thousand times! :) Paula, her mom, husband and cute baby, they are all so nice, pleasant and welcoming, I am not surprised my girl feels so comfortable. And she has new, playful friend! And he has a yard! Happiness! :) We hope to be back every week for play time, and when I need to go somewhere without my dog for a few days, I will feel very comfortable leaving Senka there. So happy we found Paula!”




36. Brian M.


“Brian was great with our 4 Month old puppy. He communicated throughout the day and made us feel at ease leaving our puppy for the first time. Would highly recommend Brian!!”


37. Merrick R.


“I just want to say how flexible Merrick family was with my schedule. This is my first time using any services for Harper. We had the meet and greet that went great. Then we booked the boarding with them. I was sent pictures and updates on Harper and I will definitely use them again!! Also they have a fenced in backyard!!! That’s a plus”


38. Sophie H.

“Sophie and Sean did great with my pup! They gave her a lot of attention and I knew she was well taken care of the entire time I was away which was really reassuring. They made Leaf feel right at home and she seemed really happy during her long stay.”


39. Amanda G.

“Amanda sent photos and updates every single day for my pups. They loved boarding with Amanda and I would book with her in an instant! It was very easy and comfortable. My girls loved it there! 10/10!”


40. Tianqi L.

“Tianqi was fantastic with our pup! We loved receiving daily updates and photos, which made us feel our dog was in great hands. Our dog Leo was well cared for and even made a cat friend:). I would trust Tianqi with my dog anytime!”
