1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Yasmin M.
“Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.”
3. Cory W.
“Cory is awesome! Always communicates and is on time. One of the best dog sitters we have ever had! Thanks Cory we never worry when we leave Elvis with you!”
4. Jessica D.
“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”
5. Brenda E.
“Brenda was amazing with our boys! She also sent pictures so we could see them daily. She also took care of our fish and our house. Even changed the sheets! Definitely would book again. Thanks again Brenda!”
6. Victoria B.
“Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!”
7. Allison G.
“Allison was AWESOME!!! She took excellent care of our babies. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home. She communicated often and asked great questions to make sure she was the right things for our babies. She was also very flexible as our leave and return times were not definite. I would highly recommend her!”
8. Molly B.
“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”
9. Nathan P.
“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”
10. Summer M.
“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”
11. Cassidy W.
“Cassidy always goes above and beyond to treat Kuma like one of her own!”
12. Aurora A.
“Aurora was great with Lola! I would definitely use her again! I felt that Lola was in very knowledgeable hands!!”
13. Madi B.
“Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.”
14. Sophia W.
“Our high anxiety dog Z was perfectly chill after spending a night with Sophia.”
15. Erica L.
“Erica is amazing with pets. She has 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a new kitten. She is super knowledgeable and spends lots of time loving and cuddling them. She is also an attentive dog walker whether it be trails, sidewalks, or dog parks”
16. Christina U.
“Christina is an animal lover who has watched my cat and former dog for the last few years when we go out of town! She always shows up when supposed to and often sends a picture of how they are doing when we are gone! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
17. Travis S.
“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”
18. Brooks G.
“Brooks is excellent and was so good with my three dachshunds. He had a lot of patience for my aggressive and skittish one. They loved him to death. So glad we found you…)”
19. Talia M.
“Talia did an amazing job taking care of our elderly dog in our home. She made sure our pet was well cared for and even brought in packages for us while staying overnight. We will absolutely use her again when we travel.”
20. Aston B.
“Aston has dog sat my dog for years and always does an excellent job! He loves animals and treats them all like they are his own. I highly recommend him!”
