“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”

8. Vanessa K.

“Simply put, Vanessa is perfect as a pet and house sitter. She took excellent care of our senior dog and our young cat.Our senior dog requires a lot of attention and medications and Vanessa handle this perfectly. Our young cat is very shy among most people, but immediately warmed up to Vanessa. She communicated extremely well and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip. We were able to enjoy our vacation thourghly because we had so much confidence in how Vanessa was caring for our pets and our home. I could not give a higher recommendation, and we are definitely going to use Vanessa again. Thank you Vanessa!!”


9. Sarah M.

“Sarah was an amazing sitter to our two dogs. She provided multiple pictures and updates through the day and we loved every single update. She was very comfortable with our dogs - both of whom can be leash reactive and slow to warm up to new people. Our dogs are larger dogs and have a ton of personality. Sarah got to know our dogs, and our dogs loved her and seemed very rested and cared for (when we got home). We were gone for 6 nights and did not have any concerns about our pets’ wellbeing due to her great care. We highly recommend Sarah to be your next dog sitter and we will be reaching out to her again as soon as we need a great sitter.”




10. Pamela N.

“Pamela was a fantastic sitter for our two boys, and on top of that, and lifesaver when our flight home was canceled and we needed care for an extra night. Thank you so much for everything, Pam! We'll be reaching out again!”


11. Drew R.
“Drew does a wonderful job with our 2 Shih Tzus. We can depend on his timeliness. I actually made a mistake on the arrival time. I meant an A.M. arrival, but had marked an evening arrival with P.M. Drew caught the mistake and help me change the times! Everything runs smoothly and I feel reassured that Drew will reach out to us if he has a question. I feel very comfortable in recommending Drew to pup sit for you.”


12. Mansa A.

“Mansa was great - our dog loved her, she was prompt, great at communication, we would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”


13. Alston F.

“Alston was fantastic! Our dog gets very nervous around new sitters, but Alston put her at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated multiple times a day, and even made a special pup cup for our dog on Christmas and washed the sheets before she left! We were really able to relax on our vacation, knowing that our dog and home were in such good hands. We’ll definitely book with Alston again!”

“Zoe was amazing with my dog, Sadie! She kept me updated throughout the day, and sent me pictures of Sadie and her having a great time together.
