Brenda did a fantastic job! She knows exactly what our dog needs. I very much appreciated the frequent photos and videos. Seeing our dog so happy at Brenda s house made our vacation better knowing she was well taken care of.

Xin took great care of our dogs! She was very communicative throughout their stay and even kept us updated with photos & videos. We were a little nervous about boarding them at first but overall had a great experience with Xin and will definitely use again in the future if needed! Thank you Xin for treating our 3 frenchies with such love and care!

Xin, was THE BEST dog sitter I could have asked for! She went above and beyond and took care of my pup, like it was her own. Xin sent daily updates and videos/pics and made me feel like my doggo was in really good hands! Thank you again for the wonderful service and will definitely be booking again!

Took such great care of Penny while I was away and was super flexible when I was stuck in Thanksgiving traffic on my way to pick her up!

Dawn was extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop times. She gave constant video and photo updates. She scheduled regular walks, playtime with her doggies and socialization with her family as well. 100% recommend as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to show affection and care for your doggies.
