Camille was amazing and took such great care of my 2 huskies at her house while I was moving. Highly recommend!

Avery was an amazing caregiver for Pebbles! She was very responsive, and was able to take Pebbles at the last minute when my other dog sitter flaked on me. Pebbles came home happy and well taken care of

Avery was amazing with Kona! She sent daily photo updates and was great with communicating. We felt so much more comfortable being away from him knowing he was being well taken care of.

Ivan was absolutely great!! He took a last-minute appointment and sent video's everyday. Malaika was happy the entire time I could see it through the phone. He is the only person that actually tried to build a bond with her, hence the only person that we will use for her.
Diana J.
Ivan was amazing with Pickles. He always gave me updates, and took him out for lots of walks, and even took him to the beach in San Francisco. My mind was at ease and I wasn t worried at all, as I know he was getting the love and care he deserves. I would definitely re book with Ivan. Thank you so much!!
