“Gabs was absolutely amazing!! We did a meet and greet prior to the actual session and they were very patient with my pups. My youngest was very skeptical and skittish and they were so patient with my pup. They helped cut up a snack for the pups and even did some light cleaning after. I came home to two happy pups and all toys packed up. Gabs was super communicative and very patient. My pup has warmed up to them and I definitely would book Gabs again!! They are very warm and personable. I look forward to working with Gabs again.”

“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”

“Jocabet took amazing care of our dog Fozzie, was super responsive, gave great frequent updates and was a huge help when we ended up having to change our travel plans! Would definitely book Jocabet again and highly recommend!”

“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”

“Once again, we entrusted our energetic pooch, Truman, to Kevin's care, and once again, we couldn't be happier! Kevin's professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication to Truman shone through, just like the first time. Despite Truman's slight behavioral quirks, Kevin expertly managed him, ensuring he received the exercise and attention he needed. Returning home to find Truman relaxed and content speaks volumes about Kevin's dedication and skill as a pet sitter. Regular updates and photos kept us reassured throughout our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Kevin, for another fantastic experience!”

“Erica sat with my 15yo yellow lab for a weekend getaway and was great to work with. She was super communicative both before and during the stay. She provided great care and I'd definitely ask her to stay again.”

“Responsive and responsible. Thanks ok great care of my fur baby and my home so I could vacation without concern. Sent regular update photos and messages. Would definitely book Stephanie again!”

“Monica did a great job pet sitting our cat while we were on vacation for 1 and a half weeks. She sent regular updates and shared photos each day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Nicole was very communicative and attentive to detail. She also left the place very clean. It was clear from the pictures that our dog was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend!”

“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”

“We were extremely impressed with Summar’s care for our pets- 2 dogs and a cat- for 2 weeks. M She kept us informed on a daily basis, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without any concerns. She handled a couple of unexpected events with great professionalism- she really is a pro. And a warm and caring person with great pet sense- our normally standoffish cat warmed up to her immediately. Summar is 5 star plus in our book.”

“Elizabeth & Ryan did an outstanding job dog sitting. Our dog, Charlie, is very anxious and requires medication. Before we left town, Elizabeth & Ryan came over and met us and Charlie. They also took Charlie on a walk. They reassured us that they could take care of Charlie and that we didn't need to worry. They stayed in contact before we left town. While they dog sat, they kept us updated about Charlie every day and did an outstanding job. They also sent us photos daily and took great care of our house while they dog sat. We highly recommend them!”

“Sarah was great with my dog Dawn! She sent daily updates and made sure to let me know if Dawn had eaten/was feeling anxious or nervous (she is a bit of an anxious dog). Sarah was really responsive as well.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela! She stayed at our house for a week taking care of both our dogs, including our puppy who is extremely chaotic and has a ton of energy. Gabriela did a great job handling both dogs and provided reliable daily updates with tons of photos, and took great care of our house too. She is also extremely quick to respond which we really appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Gabriela next time we leave town!”

“Leidy was a wonderful help when I went to South America for five days. It was my first time being away from my cat and I was nervous. Leidy took exceptional care of Boo, spent playtime with her and shared pics of her visits. I’d definitely recommend Leidy.”

“Rakia did an amazing job!! She actually dealt with multiple unexpected crises including a gas leak in my home, and handled everything great! Was quick to communicate. I was so happy to have my dog in safe hands!”

“Shamaurie was absolutely amazing! Shamaurie gave our dog Laycee constant attention and was supper communicative. We received multiple pictures and videos through the stay as well as written updates. We would highly recommend using Shamaurie.”


“Alex was great! We left our puppy with him for our first time apart and he sent a ton of updates and pictures. Boba looked so happy in all the pictures and Alex did a great job building a relationship with him especially since Boba doesn’t usually like men. I plan to use Alex again in the future and am confident Boba is in good hands!”


“I was pretty nervous about leaving my very old dog to go on vacation, but he and my cat were in excellent hands with Sandi. She communicated with me throughout my trip and took great care of both of them. I was able to relax on vacation because it was clear that Sandi had everything under control. I felt confident that Sandi would have been able to handle any emergency that might have come up. Highly recommended.”
