1. Jorden A.

“Jorden is a pleasure to work with and took excellent care of my girl while I was on vacation. I am extremely pleased with her work and will be continuing to use her for future dog sitting.”


2. Stacie S.

“Our second time having Stacie watch our pups, and she’s simply amazing. Always goes above and beyond and leaves our home spotless and the dogs well loved and well cared for.”


3. Colin B.

“Colin was amazing and took very good care of our dogs over a weekend while we were out of town. He was very detailed in capturing all the information about our dogs during his first visit before we left. He captured thorough notes and asked lots of questions while getting to know the dogs and took the time to meet them and walk them multiple times before we left. While we were gone, he kept us updated every day, even if it was just a "they are doing great" text and a picture. Colin is very responsive and we will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”


4. Lori L.

“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”


5. Molly D.
“Molly is a caring and responsible pet sitter. She was very kind to my dog as well easy to communicate with. She is very reliable!”


6. Magdalena P.

“Magdalena stayed for six days to care for and cuddle my dog Nellie and cat Olive. She communicated and provided updates and photos daily. It was reassuring to know she was there to keep my pets safe, fed and loved while we were away. I highly recommend Magdalena for all your pet care needs. I will be booking her again in the future!”


7. Daniel P.
“Dan has taken great care of my cat, Page, and my dog, Beat, on multiple occasions. He’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Page can be aloof and Beat is full of energy, but Dan handles both perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again.”


8. Haley C.

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”


9. Colin P.

“I would highly recommend. He took care of my three dogs 70+ pounds and one cat. He is an excellent communicator and sent me photos during the stay. He came out for a meet and greet and asked me a lot of great questions. I really appreciate him. it allowed me to go away for a couple days knowing my pets were being well cared for. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.”

11. Fawn W.

“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”


12. Bryana S.
“Bryana was great looking after my cat! She sent me updates with photos, and asked questions when it was warranted. My cat warmed right up to her, and settled in for play time and snuggles. I could tell she connected with him, and that she truly has a way with animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable, caring and communicative to tend to their creatures!”


13. Sky C.

“Sky was wonderful with Mocha and Ezzy! We had no worries during our trip away and we would definitely ask Sky to sit for us again and again. Thank you!”


14. Story B.
“Story is the best! She has been watching my dog in my home regularly for 2+ years and we both love her! She is responsible, communicative, and I know that there will be plenty of activity and attention while I’m gone. She is my go-to any time that I need a sitter for anything from a night to a week+ and I would recommend her to anyone.”


15. Jackson B.
“Jackson is the most genuine caring pet caregiver I know. He is very knowledgeable about animals whom are a huge part of his life! He owns a large South African mastiff named Ivar who he consistently trains. Jackson lived on a farm for many years, and has years of experience with farm animals, dogs, and fish! Jackson is an absolute sweetheart and will take the best care of your animals!”

20. Victoria C.
“Victoria was an incredible pet sitter, and took very good care of my cat and dog. They checked in with us regularly, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in their care.
