1. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.

“Jayden was amazing with our two dogs Lola and Phyllis while on a week long trip. Their communication was great, sent great pictures, and updates, and took care of our house during a week of snow. They shoveled and salted even. Jayden was accommodating to a flight delay as well. Our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend Jayden. We will use them again!!”


2. Lisa H.

“Lisa was super great with our pups, Penny and Sedona. They both warmed up to her immediately and Lisa made sure they were comfortable and loved while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures which really eased our minds. Lisa also gave us peace of mind, being at the house and keeping us updated on things. She also took care of our chickens and went out of her way to get some extra treats when we ran out. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter/housesitter to take care of our babies and our home. We will definitely be booking with Lisa again!”


3. Patrick W.


“Patrick did an amazing job pet sitting our two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback while we were away! He remembered all the details about our dog training and feeding routines, helped with several deliveries while we were away, and our house looked exactly the same as it did when we left! We really appreciate his help so our RR could stay in his usual surroundings while we were away, highly recommend Patrick!”

10. Alexa B.

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


11. Jocelyn G.
“Jocelyn has been watching my Yorkie and now also my Pug for years. She’s a very caring and lovable person. She loves animals and has 3 of her own, 2 which are rescued dogs. every time i go on vacation she is the one I trust my dogs with. She’s responsible and will take good care. She treats every dog like her own.”


12. Marchauna B.
“Marchauna was amazing! She responded very quickly to a last minute request for a weekend house sitting with overnight stay, and with 3 pets to boot! She was very understanding of our puppy's nightly routine of a 3am wake up call, not to mention having to supervise playtime and literally herd cats from room to room 🤣 Marchauna is also very knowledgeable on puppy training techniques, and she gave us a lot of helpful advice. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Niki is a wonderful non-binary pet mom to 2 birds, 2 dogs, and a leopard gecko. They are well versed in dog care such as training exercises, feeding & nutrition, walks, grooming, and giving medications. Percy the leopard gecko is well cared for with meticulous precision and careful handling based on the most up-to-date reptile care, including habitat design and nutrition. Niki is well-versed in bird behavior and care, including giving medication, handling, feeding, and enrichment activities. Niki has also worked with horses, amphibians, and other kinds of reptiles.
