“Alex was a pleasure to have in the house. He took good care of our two dogs and sent pictures almost everyday. The house was left tidy. I would love to have Alex back in the future to house and pet sit again.”
3. Theron T.
“Theron was AWESOME. He sent pictures and updates of my fur babies. This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter who was not a family member and I will definitely use Theron again and refer him to family and friends. I have nothing but positive things to say about his services.”
4. Izzy Y.
“Izzy took care of my two Huskies for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She has a genuine love for animals and was very responsible. My dogs absolutely adored her and were well taken care of, with plenty of exercise and affection. Izzy was professional, punctual, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Izzy, for taking such great care of my Huskies!”

“Becky was super sweet to my babies and took very good care of them while I was away. She was very responsive when I sent questions on the status of the babies emotional well-being and also made sure to send pics and give a brief description of the activities of the day. She is so understanding and respectful. I appreciate her coming to care for my babies! Thank you, Becky!”
6. D'Andra D.
“D’Andra did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She offered a meet and greet beforehand which was much appreciated. Through numerous pictures and videos D’Andra sent, we could tell our dog warmed up to her quickly as she took time to engage in her favorite activities. She even took time to make sure the house was kept and left in great shape. We will definitely book D’Andra again!”

9. Barclay N.
“Entrusting someone that you’ve never met with the responsibility of caring for your pets and home while you’re out of town can be daunting but I’m really glad we took a chance on Barclay. Barclay did a super job giving our dog the attention, activity, and level of care that he’s accustomed to. Barclay also did a great job with our chickens and other basic house sitting tasks. Definitely would recommend Barclay and we hope to work with him again!”
10. James P.
“James is the best. He really melted Tuggy’s heart and is such a great caregiver! He stayed with Tuggy most days and nights! He stayed until we got home Sunday afternoon. He sent us multiple pictures to put our minds at ease so we could really enjoy our weekend away with family! The best thing was how calm Tug seems now that we are home — he is not frantic and clingy as he often is when we get back. I recommend James. He’s reliable and really loves dogs! Thanks James. We and Tuggy hope to see you soon. Shari.”
11. Autumn W.
“Autumn did such a wonderful job with our pup! We recently rescued her and she can be very anxious with strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Autumn. We were worried leaving her at home for the first time but were quickly reassured by the photos and updates Autumn sent. 10/10 would recommend her!”
12. Jeena G.
“Jen is the absolute best. When I travel I know I can relax and truly enjoy my trips because she is taking such great care of my pup. She has such a kind heart and cares about animals so much. She’s the only person I trust with my dog. So grateful to have her.”
13. Brenda B.
“Brenda was excellent with taking care our pack of four dogs! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She was so kind and flexible and even tidied up the house for us. Highly recommend Brenda and will definitely be booking her the next time we need someone to keep our pack company!”
14. Julia B.
