6. Dina G.
“So glad we found Dina. We have a senior fur baby that we were very concerned with leaving her with someone who may not understand the care for senior dogs. Dina was great! She was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend her. We will be using her again.”
7. Vanessa J.
“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
8. Teri R.
“We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring and communicative person to take care of our family dog! Teri consistently provided photos, videos and updates of Luna during her stay and we could tell Luna was having the best time. Truly a home away from home for our pup with separation anxiety. We appreciate you Teri and could not recommend her more!!!”
9. Lesa H.
“Lesa worked wonders with our shy dog, bringing her out of her shell in a way we never thought possible. The patience and understanding she displayed was truly remarkable. Since then, our dog has been thriving—more confident, playful, and visibly happier. It's evident that Lesa’s genuine connection and efforts have had a lasting, positive impact. We are immensely grateful for the transformation and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and skilled pet sitter.”

“Jennifer was a TOP TIER dog watcher. She is so easy to reach. Her photos are plentiful and amazing shots. Her home is so dog friendly. This is someone to use again and again.”
14. Jade M.
“Jade is great and professional! Our cat stayed two nights with her and end up missing his playmates (Jade's two cats) when the stay was over (he keeps sniffing the carrier and sleeping in it when we go home lol). Will trust Jade for any future cat sitting!”
15. Alex P.
“Alex was great! He sent loads of pictures and was very flexible and understanding when plans changed at short notice. My dog that’s prone to hunger strike even ate his meals, so I know he felt very comfortable there. I would definitely rebook!”
16. Aime C.
“I left my puppy Neo with Aime and John for a week. They took absolutely great care of him. Neo loved staying with them. I was kept updated with pictures. He was exercised regularly (play and walks). They gave me some pointers to improve his walking too. Neo had plenty of room and was happy and safe throughout his stay. Would definitely board him with them again.”
17. David G.

20. Ryana J.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter and it could not have gone better. Ryana provided a clean, safe, loving space. She provided updates, photos, and checked in just the right amount. I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing Luna was in Ryana's care! I will absolutely use Ryana for pet sitting in the future.”
