4. Jonathan C.
“Jonathan was a *wonderful* sitter! We have an 8-month old kitten who needs lots of playtime, and Jonathan was reliable, confident, and reassuring. He hit it off with Bowie right away, and came up with lots of fun ways to keep him entertained. Jonathan sent us plenty of photos, and we came home to a happy and relaxed cat and a clean house. We'd certainly book with Jonathan again!”

11. Lynne F.
“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
12. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
13. Rosemary L.
“Rosemary is the best! She provided our animals a wonderful care experience and was very thoughtful in watching our house while we were away. Rosemary is also very communicative, letting us know how our animals were while we were away.”
14. Alexander S.
“Alex was so great!! We were all over the place with our plans and Alex was so flexible and understanding. He is amazing with our youngest baby Trouble as his name explains it all..lol. I can't give him enough praise on how well he takes care of our Senior dog Azumi. Because of her issues we have struggled to trust and find someone who we feel will care for her like we do...well Alex has proven that 100%.”
15. Robin L.
“Robin watched my Oliver for a week while I was in Ireland, couldn’t have been more perfect! She stayed at my house with him, walked him, checked in a couple times a day and sent pictures. My house was immaculate upon return. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely have her watch my dog and home again!!”
