“Such a caring, kind and conscientious person. I cannot recommend Panny enough. We went on a three week trip to Africa and came home to a calm dog and a spotless home. I have been hiring dog-sitters for 30 years and Panny made them all pale by comparison.”

“Brittany was great. We were very nervous about leaving our baby but she made him and us very comfortable and put our worries at ease so we were able to enjoy our time away She sent us regular updates as well as pics of theie time together and she treated our home as if it were her own. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you Brittany!”

“Kristen is the dog whisperer! She is so amazing with them and they all love her. Dogs come running to her for some love, especially my 3 dogs.

I rest assured knowing my dogs are safe and happy in her care”

“Sharon was wonderful with watching and bringing our dog to our wedding. She clearly really cares about dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for.

10. Lisa G.
“Lisa has cared for both my previous dog, a chocolate lab, and my current dog, a black lab. She is one of the most caring and loving people I know when it comes to pets. My black lab gets excited when he sees her coming to my door, and loves being with her. She is a very trustworthy, genuine person and I highly recommend her to care for anybody's dog. She's great!”

17. Rachael H.
“Rachael was AMAZING! She took such incredible care of our Daisy while we were away. We loved the endless supply of photos and Daisy loved all of the long walks and snuggles. We felt incredibly comfortable having her stay at the house and she left it spotless. We highly recommend Rachael! It was obvious that Daisy was even sad to see her leave, but we know we will gladly use her again!”
18. Ariel F.
“Ariel is superb! My Lola a miniature labradoodle, runs to her every time she’s in sight. She’s done a number of weekend and/or holiday sitting jobs for me (either at mine or taking Lola with her) and reported back routinely on how Lola was doing. As any dog parent knows, that is greatly appreciated and so reassuring. Couldn’t recommend her more, always my go to whenever I need someone to watch/walk my dog.”
19. Hanna O.
“I can't say enough about the service Hanna provided while I was away for Thanksgiving. She took care of my dog, Flash, for 4 days and 3 nights, always going the extra mile to update me with pictures, videos, and even a Facetime call when I asked! Flash (as you may be able to tell by the name) has lots of energy, so 3-4 walks and play sessions per day are a must. She kept him exercised and content, mixing long walks with plenty of fetch and time to sniff around our yard. I definitely plan to use Hanna again for both walks and pet-sitting. She took excellent care of my home while I was away. I recommend her services to anyone in need of an experienced, caring pet-sitter and dog walker.”
20. Andrea L.
“A good communicator! Our dog has special medical needs and Andrea had zero problems. She asked good questions and won me and the dog over quickly!”
