Oli did a great job with our finicky dog- again! We were so glad to have her back. She sent daily updates with pics and left our house cleaner than she found it!

Rose is the best housesitter we've ever used from Rover! Responsible and great with communication! We had a small house/car emergency while she was housesitting, and she handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her again.

Our dogs can be difficult, but Brittany did a great job with them! She sent us regular updates with cute pictures and spent a lot of time on walks and keeping the pups company. We really appreciated coming home to a neat apartment and stress-free dogs! We will definitely book again and recommend her to others!

Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.

Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

Samantha has been an absolute joy to have watch our cattle dog, Hobbes! She treats him like her own by giving him so much love and endless cuddles. Hobbes is reactive to other dogs and Samantha handles him with ease, making sure he is safe on walks and under control. She is very communicative, sending lots of pictures of him throughout the stay and responding to messages promptly. I appreciate that when she notices anything of concern about Hobbes she immediately contacts us. Hobbes is very in-tune to human character and because of this it is easy to tell when someone truly loves dogs: he simply adores Samantha - he immediately greets her with joy, excitement, and wants to be petted and loved on by her for as long as she is willing - which is a very, very long time! Samantha gives us great peace of mind that our best four-legged friend is safe, comfortable, and well taken care of when we are away and she is our go-to dog sitter! (She also leaves the house clean and neat after her stay).

So glad to have found Keaton shortly after moving to town! He stayed in our home with our dog and cats for a couple nights and took wonderful care of them and the house. Our dog is usually a nervous wreck after we've been gone a couple days, but it seems that Keaton's company was enough to keep him happy and relaxed. Thanks so much, Keaton! Will definitely be booking again!

Lee jumped in and helped housesitting my dog and cat while I was out of town. He was great! I got daily updates with photos (always appreciated). My cat and dog were both well loved and well taken care of. He was quick to respond and always asked questions. Would definitely have him watch my fur babies again when I'm out of town!

Third times a charm! Amber is our go to first choice for watching our pup and house when we go out of town. Now that her and my pup Cleo are friends, Cleo gets so excited to see Amber come through the door. As always she took great care of our pup, sent tons of pictures, washed sheets, and left the house very clean! We will continue to request her time & again 😎

I have been using David’s pet services for almost 6 years now. I have one dog, Charlie a 11 year old and Abe, a 6 year old cat. David has always provided exceptional service and goes above and beyond. Both of our animals enjoy his company! He takes our dog for walks, spends time, and will always send us photo updates of both! He is also patient with our cat and takes time to make her comfortable with his stay. You can tell he enjoys animals! We have hired David for single day tasks, as well as week long stays where he would stay in our home. David has always left our place in a neat and tidy fashion (sometimes better than he found it). I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Katrina treated my dogs just like her own… She took the best care of them, communicated with me throughout my trip, and my gut instinct told me that they were in the best hands. For once my instincts were right! My 15 year old pitbull, Romeo, could not have been happier when I came home. He looked even younger than when I left, I swear! And my sweet and sassy and very smart pit - husky mix, Jade, was calm & serene when i came home.. I could tell that they had gotten amazing care and a ton of love. She took them on wonderful walks, whether it was raining or not, and she made sure to ask any questions that she had. I can’t think of anything that she could’ve done better… I feel so fortunate to have had her as my sitter. I don’t think I will ever use anyone else unless she isn’t available. I can’t recommend her highly enough. And as a dog groomer and vet tech for 12 years, I have high standards for care. She exceeded my standards & expectations. Thank you so much, from Romeo, Josie and Jade. We can’t wait to see you next time!

Bri has watched my “zoo” many times. We have two large dogs and three cats. One of my dogs is older and reactive while the other is young and a bit of a trouble maker. She Handles them like a champ and they both love her. Bri is responsible, professional, knowledgeable and treats your fur babies as if they were her own. I cannot recommend her enough.
