“I brought Jake out of town with us and my initial plan changed last minute requiring a sitter. At first, I was hesitant to try the service because of how special Jake is to us. However, I'm glad I did Katherine was wonderful. She provided updates and pictures of Jake's stay with her throughout the time she cared for him. I will definitely use her service again.”
“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her.

Amyna was lovely and sent me videos and pics of her time with Nala. She was very accepting with her time and I’d definitely book again
Took care of my puppy while I was recovering at the hospital. I highly recommend her. For any pet job.
Dashawn was not only wonderful with Lady, but he’s genuinely a great human. I would rebook his services again! Thank you!
Destine was able to watch Louie on short notice and flexible to make the situation work. Lou has needed daily cleaning of his cheek where an abscess was drained and Destine was very attentive with this. She took him on walks, gave some of his favorite treats, and overall made sure he was comfy and happy the best she could.
Mia was great as always with providing updates about my dog while I was on my trip. As always, she gets a solid 5 stars!!!
Sharett is an AMAZING sitter! She babysat our fur baby Tenley for almost one month (and during the holiday season at that) and the care she provided was nothing short of stellar. We were overseas and having anxiety about leaving Tenley with just anyone and wanted Sharett specifically given her experience, love for dogs, and that she has also sat for Tenley before (he loves her and her home). She really did treat Tenley as if he were her own, gave us constant updates, dealt graciously with his sensitive stomach and specific food diet, and had an incredible amount of patience with him. We really appreciate everything she did for our fur baby and put our minds at ease. Our family will definitely be using Sharett again, we highly recommend her to any fur parents who are seeking an experienced, loving, and trustworthy sitter!
