Emily was very warm and friendly and I knew my dog would be in good hands while I was away for the day. She sent me pictures and a video of my dogs stay with her. I was able to relax and enjoy myself, knowing that my dog was in good hands.

Charley had the BEST time at Camp Christopher! Receiving daily photos of a smiling, happy pup out for daily hikes/walks and playing with her new pal Lincoln, made my own vacation that much more enjoyable knowing Charley was in such great hands! Thanks again Christopher!

Jessica is so wonderful with our labradoodle. Her place is perfect where the dogs have outdoor access. She also takes our dog on walks every day. Jessica is also kind: she was willing to pick up our dog from a friend's place because we were out of town. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jessica.

Jackie is fantastic! She went above and beyond caring for our dog, Kiko, during an extended stay. We greatly appreciated the care and attention Jackie showed Kiko as well as her frequent and thoughtful updates. She took the time to get to know Kiko individually and was very responsive to her needs and personality. When the stay ended, we immediately asked to schedule a booking for our next trip. Kiko can’t wait to go back, and we can travel confidently knowing she is in good hands!

Alexandra watched our dog Addie for a weekend while we were away and too great care of her. She’s down to earth and easy to work with. We got some updates while away and she was really fast at responding when we were initially booking with her - definitely recommend her for watching your pets!

Marisa was fantastic. We left our five month old golden retriever puppy with her for two days. She sent pictures and was super responsive whenever I checked in! Our pup was a happy boy when we picked him up. He loved playing with her dog and spending time with her family. Marisa accommodated our early morning drop off and late night pick up times. She was so great. Highly recommend!

Amber is an animal lover! She especially loves to play and care for dogs. She has experience caring for dogs since she was a child. Grooming, feeding and walking them are second nature to her. I think her favorite thing though is to just hangout and love any and all animals.

Jesse is super reliable as a walker and sitter, and I always feel comfortable knowing my pooch is in his care. He has a very flexible schedule and it makes things so much easier. Also, he always knows the best trails and parks in Marin to take Rocky.

Francisco was a great caretaker of my pup! Really appreciated how patient he was in taking the time to earn my dogs trust. He went above & beyond to ensure my fur child was properly taken care of and took the extra step in being very communicative throughout the day. I’ll continue to hire him again when I need a babysitter/walker!

Great experience. Two very sweet larger dogs played with our puppy and totally exhausted him (in a good way)! Dennis has a huge backyard for the pups to run around in and was easy / responsive throughout the stay -- even sent me a picture of the dogs playing while I was away. Will definitely work with Dennis again.

Stacia has an amazing way with dogs, an unofficial Dog Whisperer!! She took extremely good care of Pepper and made her feel part of the family. Stacia made sure she interacted with all of the local dogs at the park, a great bonus of super fun play time. Know your pup, young or old, will be in great hands with Stacia.

This was our first time leaving our Maka with anyone outside our family/friends circle. Noey not only accepted our last minute request but she took excellent care of him. I am so greatful for the updates and messages from Noey during Maka’s stay with them. We would definitely choose Noey again!

Mr. & Mrs B are very friendly pretty sitters. While we dropped off our dog for his first visit he pooped on throw rug in their house. When i rushed back inside with a plastic bag, Mrs B had already taken care of it and was chatting with my husband. While we were gone they sent us reasuring pictures of our happy dog with their chihuahua. They gave our dog meals,snacks & 3 medications at 3 times during the day. When it was time to pick up our dog he was all packed and ready before we got there. Remy acted like he was coming home from a vacation. I will not hesatate to contact them again for dog care. Top notch care for our fur baby.

Stephen is an amazing friend to all dogs, and a loyal and trustworthy caregiver. Having had dogs all his life and caring for them deeply, I wholeheartedly give him my full recommendation. Not only is he an amazing pet caregiver, but he is a teacher; a testament to his true love for taking care of others.
