“We highly recommend Adi! She took great care of our two busy Shelties and cat over the weekend. We received touch base texts with happy dog photos. And she left the house tidy. (Thank you!) We will definitely book Adi again!”

“Pups were super happy and house was clean and tidy when I arrived home! 😊”
4. Emily S.
“Emily was a great dog sitter to our dog dubu. He instantly loved and felt safe with her calm energy which made us feel super comfortable leaving him. She’s very friendly and was very respectful of our space so I will definitely be using her services again in the future! I especially appreciated all the picture updates of them cuddling!”
5. Zara N.
“Zara was fantastic with our dogs who are both seniors and require some extra attention. She was great with communication and we can tell our pups we’re happy and very well cared for. We’ll definitely be using Zara again and would recommend her for sure!”
6. Rosa E.
“Rosa was so patient and kind with Goose. Goose is sometimes nervous of new people and for whatever reason was super nervous when she first met Rosa. Rosa took it all in stride, sent lots of updates and by the end Goose was completely happy and relaxed.”
7. Harriette D.
“For four years, Harriette has been an invaluable part of our lives, caring for our two dogs with warmth, reliability, and genuine love. Her dedication and kindness transformed her role from a trusted service provider to an integral part of our family. Her attentiveness to our dogs’ well-being has been exceptional—she knows their personalities, quirks, and routines as well as we do, and they light up whenever she arrives. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and dependable; we always had peace of mind knowing they were in her care. We are deeply grateful to Harriette for everything she has done for our family.”
8. Danielle B.
“Took great care of my dog and my house.”
9. Kylie S.
“Kylie was great. My dog ended up throwing up a couple of times and she handled it no problem. I couldn’t even tell where he’d done it! He got all the love and support he needed while I was away.”
10. Mackenna V.
“Realistically the pups are probably happier to have Mackenna here than me! She had them out for ample adventures and sent lots of update photos. House was nice and tidy and the dogs were smiling when I returned home!”
11. Amelia S.
“Meals is the first person that comes to mind for me when Ruckus needs a guardian. She is caring, attentive and has built an enduring relationship while caring for him. She always remembers his little quirks and idiosyncrasies, and anticipates any issues that come up or that I may overlook whenever she looks after him. I never have to think twice after dropping him off. Your little one is in very safe hands.”
12. Lauren D.
“I would highly recommend Lauren to care for your furry friend. She has taken care of our dog multiple times and has always done an amazing job. She is kind and caring and loves the outdoors so your pet will get plenty of exercise and be in good hands! Our dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her!”
13. Molly M.
“Molly was great with the pets and they all seemed very content when we got home! She was very communicative throughout & totally stepped up with no negativity when one of our dogs got sick during her stay. Her calm and caring demeanor was so appreciated, and the perfect presence for our pets, especially our more anxious dog. Thanks again, Molly!”
14. Tully M.
“Hello! I highly recommend Tully as a responsible, loving, awesome pet caregiver. Tully has house sat for me many times and cared for my beautiful dog Ted, my chickens and my python. She’s basically a legend and has a heart of gold! Your pets will love her❤️”
15. Jessica B.
“From the moment Jessica met both my dog and cat, they both fell in love with her. My dog had a lot of energy and Jessica was able to tire her out by playing and walking her. The cat promptly fell asleep on her lap and started purring. Jessica is very personable, professional, and good with regard to communication. I would have no reservations about trusting her to take care of my pets for an extended length of time.”
16. Etienne & Ariane C.
“Étienne est définitivement la personne qui aime le plus les chiens au monde ! Il a gardé nombreux d'entre eux et s'en est occupé avec le plus de soin et d'amour. Étienne est responsable et porte beaucoup d'importance au bien-être des chiens. Je recommande !”
17. Bob D.
“We were going out into the backcountry for an overnight ski hut trip and Bob was available with little notice to come stay at our place with our dog Moka. He was very punctual, and respectful of our home ? I'd love to have Bob again as a sitter.”
