“🐾 Penny was a fantastic dog sitter for my two German Shepherds, Jango and Loki, while I was away. She was consistently punctual and incredibly communicative throughout, giving me peace of mind that my boys were in great hands. I really appreciated how attentive she was to their well-being—she kept a close eye on them and made sure they were happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for better care! 🐶✨”
“Ed was very communicative and responded quickly when I needed him! He even ensured that my picky dog ate by thinking outside the box. Thanks Ed, can’t wait to book with you again soon!”
“There was a mix-up with keys and Rhiana was initially unable to get into my apartment. She handled it professionally and thankfully we were able to resolve the issue. She sent a lot of pictures and my cat was obviously took to her and was happy to have her there. I highly recommend Rhiana and hope she is available the next time I have to go out of town!”
“Danielle is incredible. In a last minute pinch she helped care for my animals. She came over the day of my request just to meet them and every single one of them, including my anxiety riddled shiba rescue took to her immediately. She is intelligent, compassionate, and did an absolutely incredible job. Highly recommend.”
“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”
“Makenna was great! She was even able to go out of her way and meet with us on a very short notice ahead of time. All of our animals absolutely love her. Makenna is one of the best pet sitters we have had and we will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”
“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”
“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”
“Margaret was great with our dog Ace! She made sure he had plenty of fun/ play time in addition to feeding/regular care for him while we were gone. She was open to schedule changes as needed. Would recommend!”
“Sam was amazing with our Chaos. She was so patient in getting to know him and sat for us for a week and now he loves her!!! Definitely will book again ❤️”
“Doris did a great job with my kitties. They are usually very shy but one of them came out to greet her everyday. She was there everyday at the scheduled time and everything looked great when we arrived home.”
“Claire is kind, communicative, and made us feel at ease leaving our kitty for a long weekend! She gave him lots of love, and sent great pictures and updates too. Thank you, Claire!”
“Tessa was a wonderful sitter to my two cats while I was out of town. She always provided updates when she dropped in and I could tell my girls were in good hands! Came back to happy cats :) Would highly recommend Tessa!”
“Amanda did an amazing job with our pets! Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch. We knew our pets were in good hands while the wife and I went on a weekend vacation. Amanda was able to give one of our senior dogs his insulin shots with no problem. All of the animals (two dogs and two cats) really enjoyed her care and company. HIGHLY recommend and we will book her again.”
“We were nervous about leaving Katie because of her health and her tendency to get depressed when we leave. But we were so relieved with Kris! She is so attentive to medications (Katie needs them twice daily and Kris was always on time), play, and the personality and needs of cats, with frequent and meaningful updates. I would unhesitatingly book Kris again and am so happy she was available over the holidays!”
