Ryan did a fantastic job with our Paisley! His love for dogs really shines through. He kept us in the loop with plenty of photos and updates, which was such a comfort. Seeing our Paisley so well-cared for and content was absolutely heartwarming. We're already looking forward to our next booking with Ryan. A five-star experience!

Victoria is very attentive to your dog’s needs and makes sure that your dog gets tons of exercise. She took care of our Maisy who seemed super happy and also smelled great at the end of the stay. She’s easy to reach and sends daily updates. Would definitely trust her in the future with taking care of Maisy.

Christie and Dan were wonderful! Christie was super responsive and shared pictures and videos with us throughout Romeo’s stay. They brought him on walks and hikes and kept him very active. Romeo loved playing with their adorable dog, Bao Bao. We highly recommend Christie and Dan and we will certainly be using them in the future!

I was very nervous about leaving my dog, Mina, with someone for the first time, but Phi was incredibly attentive. When Mina wouldn’t eat her own food, he first made sure it was okay to give her some of his dogs food and then tried to get Mina to eat that. I know she was in good hands and getting the exercise she needed while I was away. Phi even worked with her on jumping up on people when she’s excited which has been very hard for me to train her not to do. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Phi again for my boarding needs!

Harry had the best time with Michelle! She sent tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how he was doing (he made himself right at home). He got plenty of walks and was fed and tired when we picked him up.

Colin was a fantastic sitter for our Aussie for a week while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates about our pup's day with plenty of photos and was extremely willing to tailor his care for her around the routine she keeps at home with us. His two dogs are extremely sweet, gentle, and welcoming for new dogs to join their pack; it made me happy to know our pup was so thoughtfully cared for while we were gone!

I’ve known Kat as a pet owner since 2018. She is someone who does everything she can for the health and safety of her pups. I have trusted her to watch my dog numerous times, including when I went to have my baby! She takes directions for my dogs medical treatments, executes them perfectly, and makes sure she is asking questions if something isn’t going right. She is flexible and attentive to the dogs and their needs, and loves to give puppy updates!

Julia was an amazing dog sitter! She is super fast at responding and also sends tons of photos and updates. Einstein normally takes time to warm up to strangers but he warmed up to her immediately at drop off. He is slightly a nervous and skittish dog and she ensured he was taken care of while I was out of town. So glad I booked with her!

I'm delighted to share my experience with Mercis, who truly went above and beyond to ensure Sherlock felt at home. From multiple walks, playtime, and genuine care made all the difference. Thanks to the extraordinary effort and exceptional care… our dog returned happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend!

Tiffany, as always, made Dannie’s (my English Bulldog) two-night stay terrific - both for Dannie and for me. Tiffany provides just the right amount of communication, whether thru messages, pictures or videos and definitely makes sure the pups are active and have full days! I use Tiffany’s dog sitting services often and highly, highly recommend her!!

Ilya was responsive, gave detailed daily updates, and sent pictures throughout the stay. He took Lia on multiple walks a day, and I think she really enjoyed her time there. I also appreciated that Ilya was super accommodating with a last minute change in my pick up time.

Matias was super responsive and took her on many walks. I think she enjoyed her time there, and when I picked her up, she was clearly comfortable in his home and with him. Matias was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I appreciated that he offered to have a meet and greet before her stay.
