“Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.”

“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”

“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
7. Anna B.
“Anna stayed at our house for a week to dogsit our American Staffie. He was a very sad boy the first couple days we were gone and by the time we got back, he was so sad that she had left that he refused to get out of the car when it was time to go for his first walk since she left. She took him for two walks a day, even had to bathe him when he rolled on a dead fish, and sent pix and texts to keep us updated. Now she’s one of only two people we call when we travel. Our dog loves her and we know that we can trust her to love on him while we’re gone and take great care of him!”
8. Averi Z.

“Jordan was so great!!! She took great care of Cooper and my home. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would absolutely use Jordan again!”
10. Robin L.
“Robin is the best! She’s watched our pups several times, but this last time was a long 2 week stay & she went above and beyond! In addition to taking wonderful care of our needy dogs, she also made sure they were bathed before we got home, washed all their bedding and her own, got the mail, took care of the garbage, brought in our packages, watered plants, and picked up all of their poop outside. While we were away the upstairs AC stopped working & she was so gracious and flexible. She handled the situation perfectly and we are so grateful for her understanding. Robin is the real deal- she is so kind and has a great work ethic. We are so thankful for her & anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets! Thanks again Robin :)”

She stayed with our dogs for 5 days and was great with both of them, including our senior dog who has a number of medications and dietary needs, and shared daily updates and photos of the pups and was respectful of our home. We will definitely book her again, if she is willing!”
