1. Gabrielle R.


“Great pet sitter!! Sent daily updates with pics, awesome communication and my pets were quick to adapt to Gabrielle. We will be sure to keep requesting her services. She even watered our plants while we were away.”


2. Brianna L.


“Brianna is the best! She cared for our four dogs and the house for a week. Not only did she provide excellent care with pictures and updates every day, she also helped diagnose and treat a UTI in our Maris. She medicated Maris who is now fine. The proof of her excellent is how calm our girls were when we got home. I’d say they hardly missed us with Brianna there. We recommend her highly!”


3. Meghan K.

“Meghan did a phenomenal job with our dogs. They took to her immediately and enjoyed having her around. We will definitely be contacting Meghan again next time we need someone to watch our dogs again. 10/10.”


4. Kaylee O.

“I would highly recommend Kaylee for in-house dog sitting. This was my first experience with someone staying in my home and for an extended period of time (7 nights). Immediately after the first night, it was a completely different vacation experience for me with Kaylee’s continued updates and pictures and seeing my dog so much more at ease being in her own home vs in someone else’s home/training facility. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


5. Ellen S.

“Ellen was excellent! Our dogs were calm and happy when we got home. She provided regular updates and was an overall pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with her again!”


6. Scott J.

“Scott took such great care of our two pups when we were out of town. We are so grateful we were able to book his services at the last minute. We got consistent updates on how our pups were doing while we were gone and we could tell they were nice and relaxed and were able to spend a lot of their time outside. We really hope to book his services again soon!”


7. Kayla L.

“Kayla was terrific. She sat for two nights and gave us regular updates. We could tell our little guy felt safe and was having a blast. Kayla adapted right away after only meeting him a couple times.”


8. Aury R.

“My 15 month old husky/German shepherd mix got along well with Aury. Aury took her for a couple of walks and kept her company while I was gone...my dog has severe separation anxiety but Aury handled her well. Would use her service again.”


9. Angela O.

“Angela was very kind and patient with our puppy. She went above and beyond to accomodate his potty needs, and we felt very secure about him being in her care all day. She provided useful training suggestions and has ample experience working with dogs of all energy levels. She was also easy to communicate with - very prompt in replying. We look forward to requesting Angela again, as a sitter!”


10. Emily T.

“Emily was courteous, responsive, and took great care of our senior dog. As a senior dog he needed special care (diaper changes, carrying down stairs, etc) and she handled that wonderfully. After dogsitting in our home, she left our home just the way we left it.”


11. Nicolette T.

“I couldn’t have been more happier and pleased with Nicolette, she is super sweet and kind. I trusted her with my 4 week old kitten, who is bottle fed, and my three dogs. I hired her for the evening she was very responsive, and sent me pictures of my loved pets. I highly recommend her .”


12. Krissy K.

“Krissy took great care of our fur babies while we were away. She also left our home in spotless condition. We are lucky to have found her and look forward to work with her again soon!!”


13. Erica G.

“Erica was great! Our girl went in to heat the day before we were supposed to leave. Erica not only took on the challenge confidently but calmed our nerves with consistent updates of the extra care she provided.”


14. Michelle M.
“Michelle does a fabulous job with my spoiled 70 pound pitbull mix. Very attentive to details and took excellent care of my girl for our 5 day trip. Michelle took great care of our house as well and did 110% of what was expected. Reliable and trustworthy- highly recommend!”


15. Anne W.
“I have personally seen Annie take great care of multiple different types of animals, treating them all with love and affection. She is extremely responsible and respect in all aspects of her life including time management, caretaking and safety.”


16. Benjamin S.
“I have known Ben for several years now. He is caring, responsible and enjoys taking care of others so I knew he would be perfect to house sit for our two fur babies when we are out of town. He approached our “official” meet and greet with the seriousness of interviewing for his first job. He came prepared with questions about caring for our two pups and made sure he left with a great understanding of their daily routine. Our pups adore him and are always excited to see him. Knowing that our fur babies are well cared for while we are out of town gives us a peace of mind. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who needs care for their pups!”


17. Francis F.
“Wonderful! Great communication, took great care of my Katie and very respectful of my home! Thank you so much, Frank!”


18. Nicole C.

“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat! She’s very communicative, easy to work with, and had no problem giving our kitty her medication. Would highly recommend for any pet needs and will definitely book her in the future!”


19. Elizabeth H.

“Elizabeth stayed overnight at my apartment for 2 weeks and took very good care of my two cats, one of which requires medicine mixed in with his wet food twice a day. She brought in the mail and any packages that were delivered and was very responsible. Would definitely use again.”


20. Jenn Q.

“Jenn is a pro! She house sat for me and watched my cat and senior dog for a long weekend. Jenn was very responsive to my questions and check ins and left things nice and tidy!”
