Gabrielle was awesome! My 2 huskies absolutely love her. She was punctual, reliable and friendly. She sent me updates with pictures which I really appreciated. It was great to see happiness on their faces. She made me feel very comfortable being away from my dogs. I would absolutely book her again!

For the first time in 12 years, I decided that taking my female Maltese, Gemini, on vacation with me was going to be too difficult. My family planned and invited me to an international 13 day trip with many planned stops and activities was too much to handle (I use a walker and I'm 83) so I hired Tina to watch my dog and home. Managing a dog that has not separated from its owner in 12 plus years is challenging. Tina did a great job of dealing with the separation anxiety while simultaneously building a relationship with her. Within days, Tina had won Gemini over and that allowed me to completely enjoy and unforgettable vacation. I am so grateful. Tina also watched my home and did a great job with that. Tina is responsible, attentive to even the smallest details and is 100% committed to take care of her customers. I will hire her again.

We couldn’t have had a better experience with Yulija! She offered a meet and greet before the stay, followed our instructions carefully, and left our house in perfect condition. She went above and beyond sending photos and videos frequently throughout our booking too. Yulija was especially great with our dog who is extremely anxious and slow to warm up to people. We’ll be booking again for all future trips. Can’t recommend enough!

Krissy was great! She was able to help out in a pinch and took great care of our Toby, who normally takes a bit to become comfortable with new people and he settled right in. She took plenty of pictures, shared lots of updates and most of all kept him safe. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend to others who need a sitter!

Ida is amazing!! She took really great care of our cat and gave updates throughout the day. Our cat was very loved while we were away which gave us a peace of mind during our trip. We really appreciated the open communication with Ida — the house was also spotless when we arrived! Truly can’t thank her enough for taking care of our little fur baby.

Monica took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home while we were away for a week! We have a puppy and senior dog and Monica was great with both! She even worked on some training with our pup! She provided great communication and sent lots of pictures to reassure us our girls were doing well while we were away. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take good care of your fur babies (and your home) while you’re traveling, I highly recommend Monica. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!

Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.
