1. Kyla B.

“Kyla was so incredible! She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend and gave me such peace of mind while I was away from my pet! Can't recommend her enough!”


2. Kyle J.

“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”


3. Oli L.

“Oli is wonderful! She stayed at our house and watched our pup for a few nights and it was a great experience. Oli provided updates and photos as needed and she took such great care of our pup and home. She went above and beyond!”




4. Melanie C.

“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”


5. Shaine S.

“Holly is the best cat sitting. She always took pictures of my cat and sent it everyday. She also on top of everything. My Godfrey loves her so much. Thank you, Holly! High recommended her!”


6. Sarah J.

“Sarah did a great job watching Dusty for me when I was in Asheville. She was responsive to texts, has a nice little back yard for the pups to play in and followed all feeding instructions. Thank you Sarah, we will contact you again when in town.”


7. Danielle K.

“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


8. Nancy O.

“Booking Nancy to watch our two greyhounds was the best decision ever made!!! She was very communicative and took great care of both of our girls. Our oldest is almost 12 and has some mobility difficulties, but Nancy made us feel right at ease that she was going to be well cared for. We loved getting a few updates a day on what our girls were up to and took all the stress away from our trip out of town.”


9. Averi Z.

“Averi was great with my fur-babies. I have two senior goldens and a cat who is very cautious. I am always nervous about leaving them with a new person, but she was wonderful. She communicated well before and throughout the stay. I came back from a week, with happy healthy animals, and a tidy home. I would definitely recommend her.”


10. Victor S.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”


11. Seline P.

“Seline took great care of our two dogs!”


12. Alexandra W.

“Alexandra is great, made us feel at ease leaving our pets at home during our vacation. I was very comfortable knowing that our senior dog with separation anxiety was being well cared for, receiving lots of love and cuddles. Alexandra sent us pictures of our fur-fam during her stay. She was clean and respectful of our home. I would absolutely recommend her for house- and pet-sitting.”


13. Alexander S.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”


14. Katherine I.

“Katherine was wonderful! I hired her last minute and she was very accommodating to my schedule. She took great care of my dog and I would definitely hire her again in the future ?”


15. Aidan S.

“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”


16. Lynne F.

“Lynne was wonderful. She responded quickly and scheduled time to come meet us, the pups, and get all the information about their needs prior to our trip. She stayed with our dogs for 5 days and was great with both of them, including our senior dog who has a number of medications and dietary needs, and shared daily updates and photos of the pups and was respectful of our home. We will definitely book her again, if she is willing!”


17. Amanda M.


“Amanda is amazing! She’s stayed with our animals twice now and we’ll keep booking her anytime we’re out of town. The animals have always been so well cared for and our house perfectly clean. She was super flexible when we left town last week amidst the water debacle and had to stay at another location with our animals. She’s very communicative and always sends updates with pictures throughout the day. We can’t recommend her enough.”


18. Sarah W.

“Sarah was amazing. She came and met our pup beforehand and our dog loved her instantly. She asked questions which made me feel more comfortable that she would be prepared. She sent me lots of pics and videos of our dog while we were away. Will definitely book her for future trips.”


19. Amber C.
“Amber was truly amazing! This is the first time we have ever had an in home sitter and we couldn’t be happier with her care. We received tons of updates and pictures of two very happy dogs. She is definitely the best of the best!”


20. Brianna J.

“Couldn’t have taken better care of my home or cat! Also great with communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for pet care!”
