Tanya is outstanding. One of our dogs is very afraid of new people, but she warmed up to Tanya very quickly - much more quickly than I expected. Tanya was great with the dogs, respectful our of home, and highly communicative. She is a great dog sitter/walker and we would definitely hire her again.

Traci is wonderful with our anxious dog—she stayed with her on two separate occasions, and was very proactive and communicative about how things were going. She also kept an eye on little things around the house and made sure everything was tended to while we were gone.

Aaron was a lifesaver. I had a last-minute situation where I had to travel. Essentially, with very little notice, I needed somebody who could commit to staying the entire day with my dog, Lulu. No problem for Aaron. He did everything I asked of him. And you can tell that he loves animals. I’m recommending him to my neighbors who often need a dog walker. I would definitely hire Aaron again. He is 100% reliable. Don’t hesitate for a second, if you need a sitter/walker. Aaron is outstanding!

Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!

We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience with a house sitter! From start to finish, Natalie was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. She kept us updated throughout our trip with sweet notes and photos which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter and when we returned home, everything was spotless. It was clear Emmy was well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and kind. Highly recommend without hesitation!

Omar was wonderful with Cash. He is a GREAT communicator and attentive to Cash. He provided multiple daily updates, photos, and videos which I greatly appreciated. Daily walks, lots of pets for Cash, and attention. The house was in great shape coming home and well taken care of. I highly recommend Omar, he did a great job while I was on a 5 night trip. We will definitely reach back out for more house sitting!

Traci was super responsive and willing to accommodate our very last minute over night request with our young puppy who, while adorable, is a handful at this age! She was super helpful not only providing the care we needed, but also offering some helpful recommendations for his schedule, toys, etc after spending a night with him which were super valuable to us as new puppy parents. We’d hire Traci again in a heartbeat!

Levi was AMAZING! We were so lucky she had availability when we booked last minute. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behaviors while being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue. She sent many pictures to keep us at ease while we were away and left the house cleaner than when we left! Chanel typically doesn’t clique with new people but she was so happy with Levi, we are so appreciative!

Shawn was and is fabulous. Our cat, Nicholas, had a sudden and unexpected medical issue and Shawn acted immediately, driving him to our local vet to be stabilized and then to the emergency vet hospital for treatment. We cannot thank her enough for the love and care which she gave him. She also took great care of Harry, our dog; and he too would like to thank her. If Shawn's schedule permits her to return when we next travel, we wouldn't have anyone else.

Eli was everything we could have hoped for in a pet sitter! He stayed in our home for four nights to care for our dog and cat. From our first contact and throughout, Eli's communication was prompt, clear, and friendly. He came for a meet and greet a few days before his stay, listened carefully, and was great with our pets. While we were away, he took our dog for nice long walks, and gave our affectionate cat plenty of lap time. He also administered topical medicine for our dog. He sent pics and updates twice daily, providing reassurance that our fur babies were in great hands! We returned to a clean house and Eli had even done a little clean up we didn't get to before we left. I'm thrilled to have found such a fantastic in-home pet sitter!
