This is my first time using this app, so I was really worried but Muhammad did not disappoint. He took great care of nala. I d recommend him to anybody.

I don t know about you guys, but my dog is my everything. Muhammad took incredible care of my fur child. He was prompt, communicative, and dealt with my anxious and reactive terrier with such aplomb. Don t hesitate, just book. My dog Butters agrees

Amber was so kind, reliable and easy to communicate for our dog Henry s weekend stay with her. We were a bit last minute with our plans but she was flexible with us, took great care of Henry and kept us updated. We d definitely ask her to watch him again!

Another great visit with Alicia! She is extremely patient and attentive with Nala, and always makes sure to take her on long walks and trips to the park and beach. Thank you Alicia!

She was awesome! This was my first time using Was and Priscilla made the process great and easy. And she took great care of our pup!

We had a wonderful experience with Lilia and would highly recommend her. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, easy to work with, and very attentive to all of our instructions. Our dog, Nico, has a fairly complex care routine and takes multiple medications, but Lilia handled everything seamlessly. She also coordinated picking Nico up from another pet sitter and later dropping him off, and the entire transition went smoothly without any issues. Throughout Nico s stay, Lilia kept us informed, provided regular updates, and sent photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nico was well cared for and receiving lots of attention. We especially appreciated Lilia s reliability, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Caring for a dog with special needs requires patience and diligence, and she exceeded our expectations. We would gladly trust her with Nico again and highly recommend her to other pet parents.

Kevin was amazing with my senior, diabetic dog Cayce. He s an experienced caregiver who was able to administer insulin injections, give timely feedings and provide me with updates and photos during my fur baby s stay. We are so grateful for Kevin s love and care while we were away for several days! We felt like Cayce was in great hands and we didn t have to worry at all. We ll be booking again in the future. Thank you so so much
