1. Eric K.
“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”
2. Julia H.
“Julia did a terrific job taking care of my golden retriever puppy and senior cat. She communicated clearly how they were doing while I was away. She even immediately informed me and handled my dog's bought of diarrhea. The house was in perfect shape when I got home.”
3. Julie-Anne D.
“Julie-Anne was great with our mini labradoodle! She took good care of him over the weekend and he was his happy and usual self when we got back. They got lots of walks in, she texted frequent updates and photos, and he had a great time. We're already looking forward to them staying together again!”

5. Elana R.
“Elana filled in last-minute for our regular sitter. She was very responsive and flexible. Penny and the house were well taken care of and Elana did a great job keeping us updated! She sent us a lot of photos and Penny seemed to have a great time! I would definitely use her again.”
6. Rachel A.
About: I have grown up loving dogs and raising a couple of my own can can't imagine life without them! My pets receive lots of love and attention (sometimes more than my husband and kids) and there's nothing like coming home to a dog that's excited to see you and just wants to be loved! I am a true dog lover and can be assured that l will take good care of your loved one! I'm looking to help out mainly on fridays (since I have those days off) and some weekends too but would consider during the week (if it were a morning and/or evening visit depending on the distance). If I were to watch your pet overnight, it could be during the week too as long as I have a couple days notice. Feel free to contact me with questions!
7. Megan J.
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
8. Nikki S.
“Nikki is a miracle worker and total lifesaver!! We needed to find someone new for a full weeklong trip over thanksgiving, and we are so grateful to have found Nikki. From the first meet she was so sweet with our dogs and the bond they all formed during her stay is so special. Nikki adapted to each of their needs and won them over!! She was so attentive to my senior pups and how they managed the cold and rainy weather. She also went above and beyond to take care of our home, offering to bring in our outdoor furniture when the weather looked bad. And if all of that wasn’t enough, when our flights were cancelled and delayed a day she was able to stay an extra day relieving a ton of stress for us and the dogs. When we came home our house was cleaner than how we left it. So there’s just not enough words to say how amazing Nikki is!! She cared for our dogs and our home as though they were her own, and I know she’d do the same for anyone. We are repeat customers for life!!”
9. Chloe W.
“Chloe did a great job of taking care of our cats, Henry and Al. She is reliable and has such a passion for animals that is unrivaled. She'll give your pets the time and attention they deserve!”
10. Kate T.
“Kate does a great job keeping me up to date while I'm gone. She sends photos and play by play updates. She loves Waylon and treats him like he's her own. I never have to worry when I'm gone while Kate is with him. Kate does a great job!”
11. Traci H.
“Traci has house/pet sat for my cat twice now. Every time I came back everything looked great and my cat seemed happy and well taken care of. I will definitely have her back.”
12. Susannah N.
“Susannah did an excellent job house sitting with my three elderly cats. They aren’t easy, given their age and “litter habits- or occasional lack thereof, but Susannah obviously was kind and gracious to them. She also took great care of my home. She’s at the top of my list next time I go away.”
13. Gina R.
“Fantastic stat with the pets. Super trustworthy person that shows pets the attention they require and patient with their needs. Highly recommend Gina for future walks, stays, drop in visits, and beyond.”
14. Hannah K.
“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”
15. Sydney H.
“This was our first time using River and Sydney could not have been more amazing. Our dog Beau can be very nervous around new people and Sydney took so much time and effort to make sure they became best friends. I could not have enjoyed my vacation more knowing our pets were in amazing care. She sent multiple photos/videos daily and kept us updated throughout the day. We could not be more thankful to have found Sydney!”
16. Kelsey C.
“I have known Kelsey closely for 10 years and cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is absolutely someone I would trust with my pet. Kelsey is an incredibly caring and responsible individual who has grown up with animals for her whole life. If I had a pet of my own, I would not hesitate to reach out to Kelsey for animal care. I know that my pet would be in great hands and receive a lot of love and attention. Definitely recommend reaching out to Kelsey - she is fabulous!”
17. Clara N.
“Clara took wonderful care of Millie! I received updates throughout the stay, and Millie looked very happy and at ease in the photos I received. I will be rebooking!”
18. Brooke P.
“Brooke would be the best candidate to care for your dogs! I have 2 of my own who easily get bored, but anytime Brooke has watched them, she has always kept them entertained. I sometimes think they’re more excited when she walks through the door than when I do. Brooke is very loyal, understanding, passionate about dogs, and just loving in general so I know she will be all of that to your loved ones.”
19. Ashley R.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 6 years old and I currently a dog of my own. I'm passionate about caring for animals and I take their safety and well-being seriously. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else, whether for a walk, drop in or overnight help, can be a bit nerve-wracking, but you will have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving exceptional care and attention. I care for my own dog on a daily basis and my family relies on me to help care for their pets when they go on vacation. I'd be happy to extend the same level of care to your pet. Whether it's a quick walk, overnight sitting, or even just a drop-in visit, I'm happy to help meet your needs. So if you want a pet sitter who is experienced, reliable, and truly loves animals, look no further! I work full time but do have flexibility, especially for afternoon walks, nights and weekends. Please reach out for further details and I'd be happy to work with you. I will care for your pets with their happiness and safety foremost in mind. I will look to you for any special instructions such as needed activities, visit or feeding schedule.
20. Barry J.
“Barry has a lot of experience when it comes to dogs. He has owned multiple dogs, including raising puppies. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog whether it is on a walk or overnight. He is patient, energetic and so friendly.”
