“Rebecca was exceptional!! She kept us updated with consistent updates/photos. I could tell my boys were well taken care of. She was really flexible and accommodating of our needs. She gave our boys lots of love and snuggles. Rebecca is extremely reliable. It was very comforting knowing the dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”


“This was my second round with Tanaysia and I cannot sing her praises enough! My boy had exorcist level liquid poop in the house after I left and she was so nice about the whole thing (I felt so bad). She cleaned everything up and gave my boy so much love. Kept me in the loop and great updates since this was so out of the norm for my pup. Will def book again when needed, cannot recommend enough!!!”


“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”


“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”


“Ya Lun was absolutely lovely to work with and she was so great with my Lacey. She was very communicative and made sure my girl got all the care she needed. I highly recommend her!”

“Nichole house sat and took great care of my pup, Evie! She sent multiple updates with lots of photos, which made me feel super at ease!! She was flexible when I asked her to come earlier than I had first booked her for (put my anxious travel mind at ease!!). Thank you Nichole!”


“Kristin did a fabulous job caring for our cat Benny. She went above and beyond following the instructions we set for him by spending extra time with him and providing me with thorough updates and photos. He was in great hands with her. We will absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“Maggie house sat for us during our long weekend and everything went great! Our dog was well taken care of and the house was clean when we got back. Thanks again for everything!”


“Jada is AMAZING! She did such an amazing job following all our instructions and taking such great care of our 3 cats. She’s so good at providing consistent updates every day, and I could tell how happy our boys were having her around in all the photos/videos she sent :) Having Jada housesit made our entire time away so stress-free - she was so punctual and made it a point to try to find all 3 of our cats (they like to hide sometimes) and give them all the attention and cuddles they wanted. I could not recommend her enough!”


“Elisa is amazing. She kept my hyper puppy occupied and tired out. She also left my home cleaner than it was when I left. She sent pictures and provided tons of updates. I highly recommend her.”


“As always, Ahmed was the perfect cat sitter. Jack and Sammy love him and probably regret when I come home and he leaves. Lots of play and love! Ahmed sent photos every day -- making the time away from the boys so much easier. I highly, highly recommend Robin and Ahmed -- individually and as a team they are terrific!”


“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”


“Despite an initial miscommunication on the type of care requested, Clair was clearly very knowledgeable and comfortable with dogs and we would trust her with Basil again.”


“Randy is a superhero. I had to leave out of town with a laundry list of needs for my furbaby. She recently was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, reactive, and has separation anxiety. Randy not only ensured her proper medical care with insulin injections, cared for her, and kept her company… he allowed me PEACE OF MIND. Randy kept me updated every day through the day with pictures and videos. I’m so grateful. By far the best pup sitting experience.”


“Evangelene is amazing. She clearly loves animals and is so kind and caring. I’m am not sure our senior rescue greyhound even noticed we were gone. I highly recommend Evangelene. I felt completely confident our baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Natalie was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs weren’t left alone too long when I had a wonky travel schedule, and she was great at communicating about everything my pups were up to. I definitely recommend her!”


“Cindy & Tyler were absolutely fabulous! Cindy sent me a photo of my pup every day. My favorite one was when I saw my Leia cuddled up next to Tyler. Cindy told me that she also began to follow her around. Needless to say, it provided much comfort to know that my lil one clearly felt at home her new best friends. In addition, when I arrived at my house, it was exactly how I left it. So Cindy & Tyler thanks soooo much for taking such good care of my Leia & my house!!”
