Really can’t thank Spencer and Amelia enough! The frequent updates were something we wouldn’t be able to get from boarding and it was really great having peace of mind knowing our dog was getting taken care of. <3

Lucas was great with Daisy! He and his partner took great care of her while I was away for the day. They were super accommodating and friendly, I would definitely bring her back if I ever needed a sitter again!

Julia was so great with our Golden Retriever puppy. She sent us updates and pictures so we know he was doing ok. Her two other dogs and cat were very nice and playful and shared their space with Bentley. Julia had no problem following our requests and our instructions. She insured that our puppy was comfortable and happy. Definitely recommend!!

David was a great for our Roscoe. He took great care of him and sent lots of updates on their daily activities. Roscoe and David's dog became good friends. We also love that there is only one boarder at a time and Roscoe had the run of things like our home. I can't say enough nice things about David. Will definitely use him again.

As his sister, I can attest that Richard extremely responsible and has always had a deep connection and love for animals. I have no reservations leaving him in charge of my highly energetic puppy as I know he'll do whatever it takes to care for him and I know he'll do the same for your pet.

Sarah is so friendly and is an amazing dog sitter who is extremely accommodating! Our dog stayed with her for the weekend and was very tired and content when he came home. She took him to lakes and even a trip to Victoria Park in Truro. Will definitely engage her next time we are going away or need sitter!

Oh my goodness! I left my pup with Nik for 10 days and they were so incredible! They kept me updated and sent videos, and it was clear that Candy was not only being taken care of, but genuinely cared for. With Nik looking after Candy I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about our sweet dog back home. Plus our pup had the benefit of spending time with Nik’s dog as well. They went for walks, on social adventures, and Nik was so good about Candy and her various anxieties. Nik was able to get her to eat (which sometimes she doesn’t even want to do for me!) and eased her into a routine. When I picked her up she was excited to see me, but definitely had bonded with Nik. I’m so very glad to have found the perfect match for my pup, and I’m so happy to be able to recommend Nik whole-heartedly! I feel as if Candy has new friends, and a person who I can trust to look after her when we go away again, and that is super special!

I was supposed to be away for only 10 days but had an accident and ended up staying for 2 months. During those 2 months I didn't worry once about my 2 cats as I knew they were being well taken care of. Ho yee was absolutely amazing can't recommend enough! She even took the time to take one of NY cats to the emergency vet!
