4. Denniell G.
“If you’re thinking of booking with Denniell don’t think twice just do it! Denniell was the best dog sitter I could have asked for! He has watched my dog more times than I can count on two hands and I have nothing less than 10/10 experience. Denniell not only took care of my dog as if it was his own, but he also showed him the same attention, love, and affection that I would’ve as well! He constantly updated be throughout the day with pictures of my dog and videos of them playing and cuddling, constant walks throughout the day, and made my dog so happy! He even gave my dog a bath! I was scared my dog would not want to leave with me anymore after he sitted because my dog loved him so much 🤣”
5. Chelsea M.
“Chelsea was so kind and considerate and I will be rebooking. She updated me after each visit and provided pictures which helped make me feel as ease and that my cat was taken care of.

I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who wants to ensure their pet is in good hands while they are away.”

9. Taylor H.
“I’m thrilled to recommend Taylor J. as a pet sitter and dog walker! Having known Taylor for quite a while, I can confidently say she is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. Taylor has always had a natural way with animals—whether it’s caring for her own pets or looking after others. She has a true love for dogs, and I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and gentle she is with every pet she meets. Taylor is incredibly reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I would trust Taylor without hesitation to care for my own pets, and I know any pet parent would be lucky to have her! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Taylor is the person for the job!”

“Christie was super caring and went the extra mile to make sure my kitties were well taken care of.

Such a relief having somebody as caring and competent watching over my fur babies and I'd highly recommend her to anyone.”
12. Emery R.

Whether it’s making sure a pet gets the right food, sticking to a regular schedule, or just offering endless affection, Em is always on top of it. She’s reliable, responsible, and genuinely cares about the well-being of any animal she looks after. I’d trust her completely with my own pets, knowing they’d be in the best hands.”

“Our dog Rocky adores Abby!! She has such a kind and calming presence and so he isn’t nervous to be with her. She also went above and beyond in all care aspects. I felt bad having someone watch our dog for us and so i didn’t want to ask too much of her but she took him to do extra activities, brushed him out and gave him lots of cuddles. Love our experience and wouldn’t want anyone else to watch our fur baby! 💕”
