“This is the second time Jennifer has house sit for us and our pup, Wilma. She is an absolutely fabulous sitter. She took great care of Wilma and communicated well with daily updates. We had an unexpected issue with our driveway just before her booking and she was so accommodating and gracious. We definitely would use Jennifer again.”
“Debra is a wonderful pet and home sitter. She took great care of our dog and the house looked better than I left it, when we arrived home. She had great communication, sent pictures, and gave our pup her meds with each meal. We highly recommend Debra for pet sitting!”
“I highly recommend Nicole! She’s so sweet and you can tell she truly loves dogs. She updated us with lots of photos and took great care of them.”
“They did such a great job taking care of our babies. Even one of my shy dogs started to hang out around them. They are very communicative and quickly reply to messages. They kept our house clean and the dogs well entertained. They sent us photos throughout the stay, which I love a lot. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Jess is great, we appreciated she was able to take on our request at such short notice. She is very communicative with updates and photos. She treated our Walter who is recovering from an injured knee with kindness and patience. Would be utilizing Jess’s services again. Thanks Jess!”
“Ashley did a great job! My cat needs a pill every night and she was able to do that! My dog caught a squirrel and Ashley actually got him to “drop it”! The house was exactly how we left it when we got home! I was very impressed with her communication and will be hiring her again in the future!”
“Joo was amazing and allowed us to enjoy our trip stress free! She was extremely communicative and even sent us pictures daily, which we appreciated. My dogs both loved her and we’re excited to book with her again!”
“My pup is a high energy, attention seeking handful and Alexis handled her with ease. She was professional, personable and very knowledgeable. We will totally be using Alexis as our sitter if she's available!”
“Kayla took great care of my "kids," a dog and a cat. She responded to my texts in a timely manner. I never worried about my babies or the house. I was so surprised when I returned from my trip and found that she had washed the sheets and towels! Both Tava and Voodoo acted as if I had only been gone a few hours when I walked into the house after being away for two weeks.”
“Megan was great as a last minute dog sitter! Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her. She had good communication and sent pictures daily.”
“Aidan was great for Bonnie. We had some minor hiccups at the beginning of his stay, but totally understandable now given the circumstance. The house was clean when we got back and she was happy!”
“We hired Mikaela to stay with Penny while we were out of town from June 29 - July 6. We were very pleased with Mikaela. She communicated well and sent photos several times while we were gone. She went out of her way to help keep calm Penny during the many fireworks shows that took place. We would definitely hire Mikaela again.”
“Ethon did a fantastic job watching Maple and Miklo at our house for a few hours. He was punctual, respectful, and clearly great with pets—both dogs were relaxed and happy when we got back. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Lauren was a delight. My dog Shadow was so comfortable and happy with her. She arrived on time, walked Shadow, kept him fed and watered, kept in touch with me and sent photos several times a day. Lauren has such a positive attitude and obviously loves animals. In addition she also had to deal with a delivery which she handled well.”
“Amber did great with Ali and DeeDee! She took them on walks, went to see the hot air balloon festival, and even a waterfall hike! The girls loved having her. Amber left our place clean and tidy. Most importantly, we felt safe knowing our dogs were in good hands.”
“Maria did a great job watching our dog for five days! She kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dog has a couple special needs which she handled with care. Would highly recommend.”
“Kaitlyn was great! Took great care of my dog and was very communicative.”
“Olivia did a fantastic job with our two Vizslas! One is 11 years old and the other is 15 months old. Olivia came for a meet and greet ahead of house/pet sitting overnight and wanted to know every detail about their care so she could take the best care of them. She followed all directions perfectly and gave our girls alot of attention and affection. I will not hesitate to hire Olivia again when we need a pet sitter.”
“WOW! Victoria is an all around 10/10 human and pet/house sitter. Not only did she take excellent care of the dogs and the house, but she also handled a challenging situation (fire alarms tripped and the security system would not disarm) pretty much by herself as we were out of the country. Her communication is timely, the animals love her, and again, cannot stress enough how well she left the house. We will be repeat customers if she’ll have us!”
“Hailey was great when she stayed with my 2 dogs while we were away for a long weekend. My older dog is usually very wary of new people, but was at ease with Hailey right away. We will not hesitate to book with her for future trips.”

I can’t recommend Alyce enough! She takes such good care of our two dogs and our house when we are gone. We always feel so safe knowing she is watching our dogs!
Kristin was phenomenal with our boys! They really tested her patience and she was so loving and kind to them. She also was fantastic sending us updates on anything that came up! Would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to love and care for your fur babies!
