1. Justine M.
“Justine was great, very communicative and our dogs loved her! I was totally comfortable having her house sit and would recommend her to anyone.”
2. Jennifer W.
“We had a great experience with Jennifer! This is the first time we have ever left our dear dog Izzy in the care of another person, and the first time we had someone we did not know personally stay in our house. Both things worked out really well. Before she even started taking care of Izzy in our home, she came over to meet all of us, followed by another visit to take a walk with Izzy and myself to check all the "hot spots" in the neighborhood (aka rowdy dogs that Izzy might react to). It was another good opportunity for Izzy and I to get acquainted with Jennifer. During our time away, Jennifer sent frequent and very much appreciated updates and left the house in perfect order. We are so happy to be able to work with Jennifer again.”
3. Kaitie C.
“Kaitie is awesome. We had a last minute trip out of town and she came over the day before to meet the dynamic duo. The dogs loved her and she was super responsive and managed two large dogs like she had known them forever. The house was immaculate when we got home too. We’ll definitely work with her again.”
4. Abigail V.
“Abigail was great with Henry, sent frequent pics and updates. We felt comfortable and able to enjoy time away knowing the house and Henry were taken care of- thank you!”
5. Debbie D.
“Debbie D did a great job watching my cat & dog (my babies). My dog needs meds 3 times a day & my cat hates leaving her home so to have someone that I trusted come in my home & stay with them meant a lot to us. I did not worry about them while on vacation she sent me pictures & updated me daily.”
6. Micaiah A.
“Mica is amazing. Not only was she incredibly sweet and friendly, but I felt like I could completely trust her with my 3 animals. She provided updates and many photos, which was much appreciated! My dog is super shy and he did AMAZING with her, which I think speaks volumes of how much of a natural she is with animals. Thanks again, Mica!! Will be rebooking in the the future if your schedule permits. 🙂”
7. Rachel A.
“Rachel was truly the best, she took care of our dog like it was her own. She respected our apartment and left it cleaner than we did for her! I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
8. Karla N.
“Karla is so kind and patient! She made me feel super comfortable with Bentley being a little reactive with other doggy friends which provided me extra reassurance. She was friendly and worked with Bentley throughout the stay. She also was super accommodating for a last minute request I had due to flight delays. Absolutely, would use her services again.”
9. Ralph R.
“Ralph, you're a lifesaver! Hilda can be a handful, but you handled her like a pro. Thx for taking such good care of my girl!”
10. Izayah C.
“Roscoe had a great time again with his best friend, Izayah. I think Roscoe likes him more than his own family 😂”
11. Averi L.
“Averi was so attentive to my dogs needs! I loved her thorough updates with pictures. My pups loved her and I'm looking forward to working with her again.”
12. Catheryne F.
“Finding Catheryne was a true blessing for us!! We were getting ready to leave town for almost a week, headed across country and our normal pet sitter let us know she could not watch our 4 animals. Catheryne was recommended to us by a friend and we are so, so thankful!! Catheryne came to our home and stayed with our 2 Golden Retrievers and 2 Persian cats (one is just a kitten who is a few weeks old) and as soon as she got here, we felt at ease. She was confident and you could tell she had experience with animals. She was friendly and loving with them right away, and we felt confident leaving our precious fur babies and our home with her for almost a week. During that week, Catheryne texted us photos/videos daily of each animal and gave us updates. She did great caring for one of our Goldens being 15 and needing medications morning and night. She made our trip more relaxing knowing our pets were in good hands. She even cleaned up the house before she departed after the week long stay. Her communication was great and we look forward to using Catheryne again. 100000% recommend if you are looking for someone confident and capable to care for your pets!”
13. Taylor J.
“Taylor was so amazing watching our puppy for the weekend while we were away! She always responded quickly and sent plenty of updates to ease our nerves! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
14. Aaron A.
“Aaron is incredible with our 10 y/o Senior Bulldog, Beefy! He looked after Beefy and our new home while away on an extended Holiday. Aaron sent daily updates and photos while away. He also tidied up my apartment in preparation for our return! This was the first time we left Beefy under the care of someone who isn’t family, and we’re completely grateful that we found Aaron. He is extremely professional, kind, and respectful. You can tell he loves what he does and will love your pet just the same.”
15. James B.
“This is our second time booking James & I will continue to book him whenever he is available! Ziggy loves him and he is so kind, communicative & I trust him in my home. James should be your #1 choice if you’re worried about who watches your pet or stays in your home.”
16. Thanh-Mai T.
“Thanh-Mai was great with our separation anxiety boy. He immediately took to her even though he’s typically shy. She was super enthusiastic & well knowledged about dogs. We felt safe that our dog was in great hands. She provided updates and reassured that he was happy and comfortable. I’d definitely recommended having her care for your pets :)”
17. Hillary C.
“Hillary was fantastic with our Rottie “Bo”. He has separation anxiety issues, and she was very sweet and loving with him. Even sat on the floor with him to help him get to know her. He had a great time with her..We will always request her when traveling to the SD area.”
18. Nancy R.
“Nancy was absolutely AMAZING! She came before our booking to meet us, our pup, and little bunny! She was so kind and took in all the information about them both and asked any questions I missed and did not get over. Nova was soooo happy in all the photos that were sent and even happier in person when we got home. We know she’ll miss Nancy very much! Pims our bunny which is not a usual animal to care for was so happy and did so well with Nancy as well. Looking forward to booking with her again since our little furballs were so happy and so well cared for!”
19. Annie H.
“Annie was amazing with our dog, Red, who is pretty nervous and can be slow to warm to new faces. She made sure to send us photos throughout the night with updates on how he was doing, which made our time away much easier. If you’re looking for a sitter that’s great with anxious pups and an awesome communicator - Annie’s your girl! 😊”
20. Katherine P.
“Katherine was great with our dog that has pretty bad separation anxiety! She stayed with him the majority of the time and kept him in his routine. She also left the house in great condition.”
