1. Nikki N.
“Nikki was awesome with our bassett hound Bernie. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. He was very happy when we got home and it was like we never left!”
2. Victoria C.
“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”
3. Melina B.
“This is my second time asking Melina to watch my babies while I was away for longer than I like. Melina is incredible! She’s a great communicator, all my fur babies absolutely adore her…she was even able to hang out with my slightly-less-than-feral kitty! I’m so happy that she’s decided to spend her days loving on critters, she’s perfect for the job! My pup started taking pills twice daily, since the last time that she watched him, and she was up for the job. He took them like a champ from her. I would highly recommend Melina for all your fur baby needs! She’s wonderful! Thank you!!!!”
4. Anais D.
“Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.”
5. Jordan Y.
“Jordan was so great! My nervous dog was on her lap within a few minutes. She sent pictures! I would 10/10 hire her again”
6. Qishu Z.
“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”
7. Tea P.
“Tea stayed in our home while we went on a 5 day vacation and took excellent care of our dog. We received communication, updates, and photos each day which was much appreciated since we are always nervous having a new sitter in our home.”
8. Korin M.
“Korin is always great, loves what she does, super reliable, very communicative while I’m away, and Jake loves her. Such a comfort knowing he and the house are in good hands.”
9. Charlii C.
“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”
10. Adrienne D.
“Really great updates, including great photos of our dogs and cats enjoying their time with her. We arrived to happy animals as if we hadn't been gone.”
11. Crystal H.
“Crystal was awesome with our little pup! She was playing with him for hours! She gave us great updates so we were always informed while we were away.”
12. Kerri C.
“Kerri was such a caring, communicative house and dog sitter. She was unfazed by Tibbie’s quirks and seemed to love him for him. Our house was tidy and taken care of when we arrived back home after a long weekend. Thanks so much Kerri!”
13. Devyn M.
“Devyn was great with our dog Nala. She followed our instructions and stuck to her schedule. Also gave informative updates and was responsive to our outreach during the four night stay. Highly recommend!”
14. Kayla N.
“It was great having Kayla stay and watch after our dog Tito. He really enjoyed his walks and was very happy and comfortable with her. It is so nice to be able to go out of town knowing your doggie is in good hands!”
15. Lisa B.
“She followed through on our agreed upon care plan.”
16. Zihir T.
“Zi did a fantastic job caring for my home and pets!”
17. Ruby J.
“We had a perfect experience with Ruby. She supplied references, gave us updates on our dog's behavior and mood, was thoughtful when housesitting and let us know about anything unusual that she noticed. She sent lots of photos and gave us confidence that our dog was in good hands for our entire absence. We will be rebooking with her for sure.”
18. Hannah T.
“Hannah was great! I needed a sitter last minute. She responded quickly and was able to come over right away to stay with my daughter’s dog Poppy. Hannah was good with Poppy, who has extreme separation anxiety. She panics when we leave the house. I really appreciated that Hannah was so flexible with our schedule. I will definitely call Hannah again. 🐾🥰”
19. Rebecca C.
“Rebecca has so far sat for both of my dogs twice, and I can confidently say she did a wonderful job. I have a 4-year-old dog and an 8-week-old puppy, and she came in really open minded to them both being at such different stages in life and not being used to many other people. She's really patient and was willing to help me out during an overnight work shift, which I really appreciate. I felt at ease knowing Rebecca was going to be there which allowed me to not stress over the pups while at work which is a wonderful feeling. I really trust her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
20. Osaze R.
“Osaze was great with Arthur. He was communicative, prompt, and an all around great dog sitter. Highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs!”
