“Christina and Nick watched our large Rottweiler for 6 days. Christina provided very helpful and detailed updates multiple times per day. Meet and greet, pick up, and drop off were all agreed upon and followed. Wonderful hosts - thank you!”
“Excellent family, took great care of our dogs! Definately will use their services again, Heidi and her husband treated our dogs like theirs.!”
“Alexandra is so chill and my dog LOVES her. She has great energy and didn’t mind my detailed list of instructions, she actually liked it! Her goal is to take care of your pet the way you do. Great communication while your pet is with her as well.”
“Suki had a wonderful time with Geoff, Jenny and family! They were very attentive to her needs and personality. Thanks to that, for a shy dog she adapted remarkably well to a strange home! The whole family got involved taking care of her and giving her attention, which was a big bonus. She got lots of walks and outdoor play time, which she loves. We would have no hesitation booking Suki for another stay with Geoff and Jenny!”

“I can’t recommend Chulmin & Hoyjin enough! They took such amazing care of Cocoa while I was away. Cocoa were happy and clearly well-loved when I returned. Chulmin & Hoyjin kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I will definitely be booking again in the future!. Please do not hesitate to contact them everytime you have to go away and you have to left your little lovely ones. Thank you again Chulmin & Hoyjin.”
“My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”

Amanda was very communicative via both messages and photos of my dog throughout the day. My mind was at ease and I felt comfortable and confident in the care Skye was receiving. I will definitely be a return customer and am glad to have found a committed caregiver in Amanda.”

If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Andrew is the one!”
