Always so happy to leave my dog with Joya I never worry as I know as a dog owner herself how caring is loving she is towards my dog.

Bianca is the best! Had to go out of town and a couple of days before my dog got sick and I was worried about leaving him but Bianca was reassuring and sent great updates. Already planning on rebooking!

Nick is a fantastic senior dog caregiver. In our old boys final week in Texas before we moving, Nick was available last minute to sit him and kept me updated the entire time. If you re looking for a true star, Nick is your guy!

Fantastic experience with Nico! Reliable, kind, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog felt comfortable right away. Highly recommend for stress-free boarding!

Nico did an incredible job caring for my dog. Very responsive and thoughtful throughout the stay. My pup was calm and happy afterward. I would absolutely trust him again!

Thank you soo much for taking care of my fur baby and all the updates. It was my first time leaving her and after getting the first update I started to calm down and then they kept coming. Best caregiver ever!

Nico was awesome and made Rocky very comfortable.. would definitely pick him next time too!
Anandbabu S.
We are so lucky to have found Nico. He watched our dog Benito and went above and beyond. From the daily photo updates to the long walks and belly rubs, it truly felt like family was taking care of him. Nico is responsible, kind, and clearly loves dogs. Benito came home happy, tired, and tail-wagging. If you need a sitter you can trust 100%, book Nico.
