1. Amy Y.

“We were skeptical about leaving our two dogs with anyone but familiar family members, as they can be a lot! One of our dogs is especially anxious around new people. Amy was great and came over to meet our dogs beforehand to help ease their (and our) anxiety. Amy stayed at our house for the weekend we were away and sent many updates, pictures and videos throughout the days. Amy was very knowledgeable on how to handle our fearful pup. She was patient, kind and gentle. We are very grateful we found Amy to watch our animals. We would definitely recommend Amy to others!”

5. Nishat R.

“My dog loves Nishat! She has such a calming energy and puts my nervous dog instantly at ease. Nishat came to the rescue when family emergencies left little time for making arrangements, and made sure Beesly was safe and happy while I was away. She sends lots of photo updates during her stay and really dotes on my dog. Beesly and I are so happy to have found Nishat!”


6. Tamara H.


“We had Tamara come for a few hours to watch our two dogs!! They loved her and their walk. We came home to two very happy pups! She also left us a lovely card wishing us a Happy Anniversary with sketches of our dogs. We look forward to booking her again soon.”

8. Molly E.
“Molly has been my go-to pet sitter for a couple years. She is exceptionally careful with my ferrets as they are mischievous and like to be sneaky. I am always very happy with the way she cares for and how gentle she handles them. I highly recommend Molly for taking care of your pets, she always treats them like they’re her own.”


9. Ayreal Z.

“Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”


10. Julie A.

“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”


11. Megan B.
“Megan was my roommate last year and helped me take care of my cat (Quill) on many occasions. I would travel for long periods of time and she was always happy to show love to Quill, feed him, and play with him. I felt like he was in good hands while I was gone, or even when I worked late nights and couldn't feed him on time. You can just tell that she's a genuine animal lover and shows that in very caring ways.”


12. Victoria B.


“Victoria was wonderful during an overnight stay with our dog and two cats. Our dog is a very nervous guy and she made him feel so comfortable. Victoria is kind, friendly, and responsible. We will certainly be booking her again.”


13. Kayla S.

“We would absolutely book Kayla again! She was incredibly communicative throughout, and from the photos she sent, it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable with her—his wagging tail said it all. Since he's not typically used to being around others, we were thrilled with how well he settled in. Kayla was also very accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Kayla!”


14. Kaden F.


“Kaden is very responsive and has taken good care of our two dogs and house twice. We feel very at ease when he is with our pets communicated well with us and left our house in excellent shape.”


15. Emma W.

“Emma was wonderful, receptive, and sent plenty of updates!! She played with our pups, loved on them, and even let them sleep with her while we were away. She’s completely trust-worthy, responsible, and left our home spotless. We will definitely be using Emma again 😊”




16. Lori S.

“Lori went above and beyond!. She came over ahead of time to meet our dogs and spent an hour with us to let them get comfortable with her. One of our guys has severe stranger anxiety, and even though he never warmed up to her, she never stopped trying. She got along great with our other two guys, gave them lots of love and sent us pictures while we were gone. She left the house clean, washed the sheets on the bed and did many things that we said were okay to just leave alone. We would definitely ask Lori back, if she would come back for us!”


17. Morgyn D.

“Morgyn did an outstanding job job caring for my dog and cat and home while I was gone. She sent pictures, asked pertinent questions relating to the care of the home and showed my dog and cat lots of attention. I would definitely engage Morgyn’s services again!”


18. Sam W.

“Can’t say enough good things about Sam. He has helped me on more than one occasion with my high-needs dog, Nia. Sam is punctual, communicative, and very considerate when working with my elderly pup. He’s always very thoughtful about sending pictures and follows all directions with my dog as expected. Nia is usually fairly anxious with strangers but every time Sam has watched her for me I’ve always come back to a very happy and well adjust a dog. Would definitely recommend!”


19. Faith P.

“Faith was a fantastic sitter for Odin. I was out for a biz trip and she took care of Odin without any issues. Went on daily walks with him and gave him his medicine. Would highly recommend Faith to any dog parent who needs an overnight sitter. Thank you Faith!”


20. Javon C.

“Our pup Dean was in wonderful hands with Javon! She came over for a meet and greet, clearly knew how to approach new dogs, and took excellent care with photos and messages throughout our trip. Finding the right fit for Dean has been tough with his separation anxiety and various quirks but we’re very happy to have found such a good fit for future trips. Could t recommend Javon enough!”
