From the daily photo updates to the thoughtful messages, I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in great hands.

9. Kathleen T.

“Kat was so great with Olive. She took the time to really get to know her and learn her quirks. The communication was perfect and she was very accommodating when my flight home was delayed. When I got home my house was clean and perfect. Olive was happy to see me and not at all stressed. I highly recommend Kat and will definitely be booking with her again!”


10. Kathryn K.

“Kathryn was amazing with our furry family members. We have a new puppy who is a little timid and she helped him open right up and feel comfortable during her stay at our house. She gave each of the animals (one cat, one kitten, one puppy) individualized care and cuddles, administered medication to our cat, left our house super clean, and was super communicative with us to help coordinate care during our travel day home. I would trust Kathryn with our house and animals anytime and look forward to working with her again!”




11. Stephanie B.
“Hello dog lovers, I highly recomend Stephanie B. to care for your dog friend. She has cared for mine many times, for extended time frames over the last 12 yrs. I only entrust my dog with her and my mom. My dog seems very content when I pick her up and actually isn't so excited to come home because she enjoys the long daily walks/hikes that she gets with Stephanie. Stephanie has appropriately responded to some health issues as well while my dog was with her. She is loving toward the dogs and very, very careful to keep them safe. She has high integrity when it comes to the well being of the dogs. I recomend her highly.”


12. Erika S.

“Erika took my booking on short notice. She communicated well, sent me pictures of Huxley while I was gone and relieved the stress of wanting my dog to be taken care of while I was away. Thank you Erika!”


13. Arlene S.

“Arlene did a fantastic job house/pet sitting while we went on vacation. She gave frequent updates on the animals and gave them lots a attention. I would highly recommend her service and will definitely use her in the future!”


14. Jessica R.

“Jessica was great! Very communicative and went the extra mile with check out - started the dishwasher, took the trash cans out for pickup, picked up dog poop, and the house was super clean when we came back! The dogs were calm and we felt they did great with house sitting versus boarding them. Will 100% book again very soon! Thank you again, this was a great experience for us.”


15. Chaleen W.
“Chaleen has been taken care of cats, dogs and various other pets all her life. Animals seem to gravitate to her the minute she walks in the room. She has cat sat for me several times. She is always good about following any special instructions I leave about my pets. She goes above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her.”


16. COURTNEY L.
About: I will make sure your dog is well taken care of, feed them, make sure they have water and I can bath your dog if you want and will love on them. I will make sure to take your dog out for bathroom breaks and make sure they get out for playtime. I will walk and run with your dog and also relax with them when they have exerted a lot of energy and need a nap. I am really good with dogs and taking care of them. Your dog will be in good hands with me. I have watched over a lot of dogs for neighbor's and friends who went out of town. I will provide the best care for your dog and treat them as if they were my own. I am currently working part time in the early morning, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet, play with them and walk them. I currently do not have any pets in my home, however I frequently go over to my parents house and take care of the dog when needed. They have a fenced yard and I kennel him when needed.




17. Rainie G.

“Rainie was better at taking care of our two dogs and cats and home than we ever could have imagined. Not only did she give utmost attention to our two Cavalier boys with lots of play, walks, attention and cuddles the 5 days and 3 nights we were gone, we also came home to a house cleaner than when we left it. Rainie is a real sweat heart and as trustworthy as they come. We would be very delighted to use her dog and cat care services again.”


18. Paige G.

“She’s great! Max, my old Shepard loves her. She is a good communicator as to what’s happening and what they are doing and that makes me happy. She really cares about doing a good job with him.”


19. Janae K.

“Janae was diligent and attentive. Her intelligence and resourcefulness were evident even before she showed up. She provided predictable, reliable care for Cinder on relatively short notice. Outstanding communicator and very tidy.”
