âRebeca and her husband were great! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Walter's stay. He looked very happy and tired from all the walks and play time. We will absolutely use them again. Thanks!â

âMonica took care of my little (rescue) rat terrier overnight. She did an excellent job! My dog is anxious and Monica was very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures and kept me informed about my dog's experience throughout the stay. I am looking forward to my next booking with Monica!â

âMy dog had a blast with Oliver & Oana. My dog was well taken care of, and any requests were completed without any issues. I am relieved knowing that I have someone to go to should I decide to go on a vacation again - highly recommend giving these folks a shot if you are unsure.â


âDanielle and her family are wonderful! Ninja has stayed over several times and is always excited to be with them. Danielle updates me with how Ninja is doing every day, which I super appreciate. Pictures too! I canât recommend her enough.â

âMeena is wonderful as always!! Lion always enjoys her stays with her, and when I run late she is always accommodating! We will always use Meena as long as my little old lady Lion is aliveâ

âYang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dogâs behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.â

âI can't recommend Luke highly enough. He quickly figured out Beacon's needs, and Beacon seemed comfortable and at home in no time. As a bonus, Luke is incredibly communicative; I received frequent updates, pictures, and stories about what he was up to. I walked away feeling that Beacon was extremely well cared for.â

âPatricia is really great. She took care of my baby for a week and she always gave me updates on her status. She is patient and understanding with my dog, who's a giant baby. I trust her to take care of my dog really good and I highly recommend her.â
âJessica and her husband were amazing! Sent me updates and were super kind! Caesar seemed like he had a fantastic time with them! Would definitely book again!â

âCharley had a great stay with David and his family. I received lots of updates and pictures and she came home happy. I also appreciated that David was flexible when we had some last minute changes to our plans.â

âKrystal was very caring and attentive towards Dwight. A day before our travel, Dwight developed a skin infection and was prescribed with a 7 day course of medications. She took utmost care of him and also sent us regular updates and pictures that put us to ease on our trip. We will surely recommend Krystal to take care of your pet.â

âJennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!â


âElizabeth was amazing! She watched my pup, in-house for a weekend I had to attend a wedding out of town. She came over a week or so beforehand to meet my dog, walked in the door, and my pup immediately loved her - Daisy can be a little fussy, so Elizabeth must just have that special something that dogs can sense :) She sent a lot of photos and videos throughout her stay of all the fun they were having and through each update it was clear how much love and attention my pup was getting. It was really reassuring to know that my pup was being so well taken care of. They will definitely be my new go-to!â

âLissette and her family are the kindest and most pleasant people to work with and to watch my dog! She has gone above and beyond my expectations for dog care, is flexible, and always sends photos. I could not recommend her enough as she truly cares for my dog just as her own!! â
âRebecca is awesome - great communication and daily pictures and videos of Pepper. Pepper is a pretty active dog, but came back to us super relaxed - we could tell that she had plenty of playtime while she was in Rebecca's care.â


âJulie was a fantastic dog sitter. Auggie had an amazing time with her and her familyâother dogs included. She sent lots of pictures throughout the weekend, which helped calm our nerves leaving him with in a new situation. We'll definitely book again!â

âCarol was wonderful! So easy to communicate with and we felt totally at ease leaving Oban for the night with her. Loved receiving photos and videos of him playing with other pups and having a great time. Thank you! Highly recommend.â

Veena was wonderful! She made sure we had a meet and greet prior to Chickoos stay and was communicative throughout his time there. It made us feel better seeing pictures/videos and she always kept us informed. We will absolutely work with Veena again and highly recommend her for your pups!

Debbie and Ralph were lovely, and we were happy with this first time stay for our dog Finn at their home over the weekend. They were very attentive to Finnâs needs and routinr, gave him lots of attention, and took him to the city for some adventure. Would certainly book with them again. Thanks!
I had Ariel watch my senior pug for several days while I was on vacation, and he did an outstanding job! My pup requires daily medication, and Ariel made sure it was given on time while keeping me updated with clear and consistent communication. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable being away, which is so important when leaving an older dog in someone elseâs care. It was such a relief to know my pug was in good hands! Would absolutely recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. :)

Jess took great care of my Golden Retriever and he enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs in her beautiful, fenced yard. She kept me updated with pics and comments daily. I was delighted with her care and attention and my pup came home very tired and very happy. I highly recommend Jess and her family and would request her services again if I was going out of town.
Ashley was so kind and really enjoyed watching Tella for us. She stayed in contact while we were away letting us know how Tella was doing and sent pictures. Tella seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up; she didn't even want to get in our car to come home! Haha thank you Ashley! Would definitely use her again!

Once again, Kristen & Andrew did a great job taking care of Sammy while we were gone for 5 days. Although it had been quite awhile since his last visit, Sammy seemed to feel comfortable very quickly & bonded again with his pal Piper. Kristen & Andrew are wonderful communicators & they sent lots of pictures. Sammy looked happy, whether taking a walk, waiting with Piper for the delivery of a treat, or just chilling on the couch or under Kristenâs chair. Thanks to Kristen & Andrew for taking such good care of our boy!
