8. Kazuhiro & Akemi S.

“Regina George had another successful stay with Akemi and Kazu, this time for four full days and three nights. As always, they were exceptionally communicative with photo and video updates. They really put our mind at ease with keeping us posted on how she is eating, sleeping, and getting along with the other visiting dogs. Their updates are not only comforting, but a lot of fun as well. You can tell they truly care about and take great care of their guest dogs. This time we included the pick-up/drop-off service. Kazu kept us updated on timing and his progress along the way and arrived right when he said he would. Both pick-up and drop-off were easy and saved us a lot of racing around before and after our trip. We are so comfortable knowing Regina is in great hands and will absolutely book with them again!”

10. Julie T.

“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”


11. Ella V.

“Ella took the best care of our old girl pip! She sent daily pictures and was an excellent communicator throughout her stay. Pip takes daily medication and has specialty food needs and we couldn’t have asked for a more patient perfect sitter for her than Ella. We will certainly be using Ella for all of our sitting needs in the future!”

19. Sandra & Sorin A.

“Sandra and Sorin are amazing dog sitters. My senior dog had a gastrointestinal issue during his stay. They tried multiple food products to encourage him to eat. Ultimately, Sandra cooked chicken and rice, my dog’s preferred meal when he is sick. Sandra and Sorin also pampered my dog when they suspected pain in his right hind leg. They are incredibly diligent and loving sitters. I am grateful for the extraordinary care they provided to my little boy.”
