“Emalee was quick to respond, from beginning inquiry to the end of the service. She was sweet and pleasant and easy to deal with. She did everything she agreed to do and even popped in again for us when our trip back got delayed. Our pup loved her and there wasn't a mess to clean when we got back and our pup was happy and well taken care of upon our return. Would use again and would recommend 100%! <3”

9. Olivia W.
“Olivia has watched our two beagles many times ! She is kind and caring when it comes to our needy dogs. We get updates and pictures ! She is understanding and responsive when we constantly message her. We know the dogs are in great hands ! She walks them, stays the night with them so they are not alone , and makes sure to give them extra pets and love while we are away. She’s very responsible and timely. She never leaves them on their own for long. The house is always very tidy and neat when we return ! She goes above and beyond with her duties. She takes care of our pool, flowers, mail, etc. I’d certainly recommend Olivia to pet sit ! I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has in regards to Olivia house and pet sitting.”

16. David S.
“I would recommend David as a dog sitter to anyone who is considering hiring one. I have known him for over 20 years and can attest to his character as both a person and a dog sitter. He is one of the kindest, thoughtful people you will meet. In addition to that, he is reliable. He acts the same way when caring for your pets too. I used to have a Golden Retriever who was very friendly to new people, and she weighed 100 lbs. David always did an amazing job of making her feel safe and comfortable with a new person, and he was able to keep her calm on walks despite her size. He went out of his way to play ball with her too. He developed a great connection with my family and my dog, so we always trusted him when he took care of her. I understand how important our dogs are to us, so if you are looking for a reliable, friendly and caring dog sitter, look no further.”


17. Mitzi R.
“Mitzi was so amazing and had such an attention to detail. She watched my 3 cats and dog and was only hired to let out my dog and feed my babies. I came back and she cleaned all their food bowls, cleaned the litter box, and even threw my dogs bed in the washer and dryer!!! She went above and beyond and she’s always my first choice for my babies when I need a sitter!”


18. Tessa S.
“Tessa is amazing with all animals large and small. She is smart, compassionate, and a true animal lover. She wants what is best for the animal and goes above and beyond to give them excellent care.”


19. Victoria V.
“We were happy to rely and trust Victoria with her caring services for our senior dog, Barney at our home while we went out of town for a wedding. Barney was well cared for and played with several times a day and taken on his regular walks outside that he enjoys. Victoria prepared Barney’s special food, ensured he ate and his water was clean. She also took care to give our good boy his treats! Victoria is a patient and knowledgable caregiver — she is gentle, trustworthy, punctual and highly recommend.”
