1. Lisa S.
“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”
2. Alexandra H.
“This was an amazing choice for us and we will absolutely reach out again if we need a dog sitter. The dogs clearly had a great time and I'm so glad Hazel was around so they had an extra pal to hangout with. Communicating was easy and we felt well updated (and we loved the photos of the doggos)”
3. Alice b.
“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”
4. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.”
5. Justin Z.
“Justin was great! I left my 2 corgis with him for the week. Both my dogs have very different personalities and each one had their needs met. This meant Maple felt like she was at summer camp and played with his dog, chased toys, and had a blast. My shy boy, Milo got his own space where he felt safe made for him, and started warming up over the last few days. The best part was all the great photo updates daily. I 10/10 recommend Justin!”
6. Mackenzie W.
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”
7. Maricela V.
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
8. Jill & Dino C.
“Jersey loved them!”
9. Heather H.
“This was our first time ever leaving our pup with anyone and Heather made it the absolute BEST experience for us! She sent lots of pictures and updates of all their fun adventures and he was in the best mood when we picked him up and he even seems to be listening better after his stay! He definitely got his own little mini vacay with Heather and her family. I would 100% recommend Heather, and we can’t wait to schedule another play date!”
10. Ashly B.
“Great communication; Coco was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Ashly's dog, Tony, is very patient and well-mannered - great for my skittish pup.”

“Jaded was very communicative and flexible! He was willing to work with our schedule and gave great care to the pups. We appreciated all the photos and know they had a great time.”

“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”
18. Lucia R.
“My dogs were happy and exhausted when I picked them up from a two-night weekend stay at Lucia's. Lucia sent me a photo each day to let me know my two fur babies were doing well and I had no worries at all while I, too, enjoyed my weekend. Would recommend Lucia. Definitely worth the drive.”
