I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.

Megan stayed with our dog, Margot, and was excellent. Our dog can be unfriendly to other dogs and Megan followed our instructions to a tee! I can’t recommend her enough. Margot was happy and healthy when we returned and Megan was communicative with photos throughout the stay. So happy we booked Megan!

Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.

Rachael absolutely crushed it. As someone with senior dogs who have specific preferences and routines (also are high-maintenance as heck), I’m very picky about their care when I’m not around. Rachael was communicative, gave updates unprompted and responded super quickly whenever I reached out. She was able to take on staying at my place with my 2 cats and 3 dogs on very short notice as well. I can’t say enough good things, 11/10

Joshua did an excellent job with my elderly dog. He walked him on various terrain and kept me updated. He left an adorable “report card” with a Polaroid picture, too. My house was spotless when I returned.

She also left the house clean, which was greatly appreciated. We would be happy to have Kari back to help us out in the future and highly recommend her!

Jackie was awesome. She was flexible and fully attentive to my injured little guy. She dealt with a relatively complicated medication regiment that I sprang on her somewhat last minute. When I got back Theo was happy and noticeably healthier. On top of that she was communicative and easy going.

Julie is the best sitter I have ever had, and I have had many sitters. My dogs were calm and happy when I got home. They clearly got lots of attention. She responds to texts immediately and sends lots of great photos. My house is always spotless when I get home. I used her many times and she is always on point.

Alina was excellent. We have two dogs who have different needs and personalities and she took excellent care of both. Alina was very communicative, asking questions as they arose and sending regular updates. She left our home cleaner than we left it. Dogs got regular long walks and seemed happier than ever when we returned!

Lindsay is very sweet and responsible. My Louie went right up to her and sat on her feet when she came in. That’s his sign of respect and feeling comfortable with her.She took him out for a walk and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her back soon
