“Julie took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were gone for 5 days. She was very loving, caring and attentive to our dogs. She was excellent with communication and sending photos. She walked the dogs, gave them lots of love and attention and went above and beyond even supplying some more broth for our dog when the supply ran out! I highly recommend Julie!”

“Louisa and her daughter treated our 2 dogs and 2 cats like their own! I received regular updates and pictures on how they were doing and when we got home they didn't even seem to miss us. Our dogs received daily walks which was awesome! It was my first time having Louisa care for our pets, but she asked lots of good questions beforehand so I was completely comfortable leaving them under her care and she did not disappoint. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”


“Hannah was awesome with our 11 year old rescue dog. She was great with walks and an overnight stay. She sent pictures to us and also left our home spotless. We highly recommend Hannah and will definitely request her in the future! We are so fortunate to have someone so reliable!!!”

“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Erika was great. She is a delightful person who gleefully mixed with my two furry sweet beasts. When I returned home, everything was in fine shape and the dogs were very happy. I will surely contact her in the future when I travel.”

“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”

“Annie took great care of our dog and guinea pig! She gave me frequent updates and was very attentive to our anxious dog’s needs. Thank you!!!”

“Ann did a fantastic job dog sitting our very high energy and dog-reactive pup in our home for five days! She sent so many pictures and we could tell our pup was content/happy and so well taken care of. Ann also reached out to ask clarifying questions when needed and was very responsive. I highly recommend Ann!”

“Hannah was wonderful to work with! I have a very anxious dog who doesn’t like new people, but Hannah knew how to handle her. She was very patient with her and they ended up getting along well. Hannah was also very responsive and communicative. I would definitely trust her to sit my dog in the future!”

“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”

“He and one of my girls hit it off! Good communication throughout the stay. He took great care of my girls including administering meds and wrapping a foot too!”


“Ashley recently dog/house sat for us for several days. Using our dog's reaction to our return of "oh, you're back. Cool." as a guide, apparently she barely knew we were gone. :) Ashley shared info and photos, followed our feeding and care guidelines, and even stripped the sheets on the bed.”

“James was very dependable and conscientious in taking care of our dogs, cats, and home. He sent pet pictures, texted us if he had any questions, and left our home clean. We were very pleased.”

“Joel sat for our two pups at our house and did an absolutely fantastic job with them! You can tell he has a lot of experience with animals and we will absolutely book with him in the future. Thanks Joel!”
“Sabrina took amazing care of our two cats, including our asthmatic boy Sebastian who needs a daily inhaler. We received daily updates and photos, and it was clear the cats were happy and comfortable in her care. On top of that, Sabrina went above and beyond by picking up our mail and even watering a plant (little things that made a big difference). Would definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely kind sitter!!”

“Kally is so responsible as well as sweet to our JJ. She took great care of him while we were away for 2 nights and 3 days. We were able to enjoy our vacation! Thank you very much, Kally!”
