2. Carmen B.

“Carmen is fabulous and has taken care of our precious fur baby a few times. I’m not entirely convinced that our dog wants to come home with us when her visit is over! Great communication. Highly recommend!”


3. Finn C.

“Finn was a wonderful dog sitter for my dog Gimli, she sent lots of photos and updates so I knew he was being well taken care of while I was away. She also got him to take all of his allergy pills during his stay. I came home to a super happy pup and would be delighted to have Gimli stay with Finn again.”

“Deborah is amazing! It bring us such a peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of Hunter while we are out. We normally do doggy day care with her, but this was the first time we leave him for a week and he had a blast! Wheatley and him are best pals now. No doubt we will keep coming to Deborah for our pet care needs or even for a fun day of Hunter. Thank you Deborah for being such a natural pet lover and having him at your home!”

11. Hanee G.
“Hanee is a responsible and caring pet caregiver. Every time I book a pet caregiver, my first option is her. I entrust her dearly with my dogs because she does an amazing work when it comes to caring for pets. My pets aren't usually welcoming to guests, but when it comes to Hanee, they adore her! So, if you're looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver, Hanee is the one you should look for.”


12. Dale & Fiona S.


“Fiona and Dale have come to our rescue many times, extending a stay or making themselves available to look after our Aberdeen in a pinch. We get photo updates and regular communications, which we love, and we love that she gets excited when we pull up at Fiona and Dale's. They are skilled, experienced, attentive and compassionate pooch lovers and we highly recommend them. Thank you both for caring for Aberdeen!”

“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”


17. Ilona S.
“Ilona and her family were amazing, genuinely the best dog sitter I have had after using this app for 5 years. Ilona sent me great high quality pictures and videos throughout the day updating me on my dog Gus which ensured me he was well taken care of. She took him on lots of adventures and walks and Gus always had a big goofy smile on his face in the pictures. I appreciate her 24/7 dedication to making sure Gus was comfortable and happy throughout his stay and will be bringing Gus back in the future. I highly recommend Ilona, not only was she a great sitter but she made sure my dog had lots of fun going to new places which makes her stand out from the other people on this app, she is by far the best! :)”
