1. Kayla A.

“Kayla was the absolute best! We are so thankful for her and the care she gave our pup! Upon first meeting her we felt comfortable right away! She took such good care of our dog and our house. She sent us updates and photos multiple times a day throughout our trip which put us at such ease being gone for 10 days. Kayla was kind, reliable, communicated exceptionally, professional, and you could tell she truly has a love for animals. I know our dog JJ misses her already! We highly recommend her and will definitely be rebooking for our next vacay!”


2. Allison G.

“Allison did an incredible job house sitting and caring for my cat, Marcel. She is reliable, professional, and a good communicator. Marcel is shy at first with strangers, and she built his trust quickly and the next thing I knew she was sending photos of him on her lap! I highly recommend Allison and I hope she will come watch Marcel again. Thank you, Allison! Marcel and I are so grateful to have found you.”


3. Julia K.

“Julia loved up our doggy, Obi, and took amazing care of him. Julia was also incredibly friendly and trustworthy. So glad we could leave our dog and plants in her care, and we’ll definitely have Julia watch Obi again! Thanks, Julia!!”


4. Daniel D.

“Quality communication throughout the single day overnight with Al and Peggy which is greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Daniel and likely to have him back.”


5. Theresa S.

“Theresa stayed with our fur babies while we were out of town for 10 days. She clearly has a lot of experience taking care of pets. She was super professional, communication was great. She sent daily photos/updates. I did not worry at all while we were away. Both the dog and cat seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was left immaculately clean, almost like she'd never been there! I will definitely be booking Theresa again. Highly recommend.”


6. Mackenzie G.

“Mackenzie did a great job with 2 very shy kitties who've never had a pet sitter before. The situation was complicated in that one kitty would eat the other's food when he would hide. So the kitties had to be separated...gently.”


7. Maria Elena A.
“As Raja and Leon age, it’s become easier for them to have someone come stay at our house rather than how we used to board with sitters. Elena was a great sitter for the dogs and the house. She was great at communicating updates, questions, and concerns. Her fall time photo shoot was so sweet and when I got home the dogs had new shirts on ? I would definitely trust Elena to sit the dogs again.”


8. Charlotte B.

“Charlotte was gracious in accepting an assignment almost last minute when my usual sitter had to cancel for a family emergency. She was great with my fur kids and I felt confident they were in excellent hands while I was away. She kept in good communication and took care of everything needed while I was gone.”


9. Camryn P.

“Camryn was great! She took great care of our dog, including giving meds! Very respectful and cleaned up after herself! Definitely will book with her again!!”


10. Kristen N.

“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of Lando for a week while I was traveling for work. She watered the plants and left the place very clean. Thanks!”


11. Cecelia B.

“Cecelia is a caring sitter, our elder dog is very happy when she comes to watch her. We receive photos and updates daily in the morning and evening. The house looks great when we return. We highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pet.”


12. Hannah F.

“Hannah was incredibly caring and attentive, and I loved that she sent regular photos and videos of my pups while I was away—it really put my mind at ease. Not only did she take great care of the dogs, but she was also very respectful of my home, leaving everything exactly as I left it. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”


13. Hope H.

“Hope is patient, kind, thorough, and a creative problem solver. Our cat is fairly unlovable, but she managed to do so! We are so thankful for her time and positive energy.”


14. Jayme M.

“I love having Jayme come and house sit for my elderly dog and my puppy! She is so kind, great communicator, clean, honest and has just a really pure love of animals. She is my go-to person! You will not regret hiring her for any services!”


15. Jenna D.
“Jenna has been an animal lover since she was a little girl. From hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to cats and dogs and horses: she has owned, taken excellent care of, and loved them all. She has a special bond with her dog now and it is one of her best friends. She will care for your dog as professionally and kindly as possible and just like it was her own. A trusted caregiver for sure!”


16. Angel D.
About: I like animals and furry buddies better than humans most of the time. I have house trained all my dogs. From young pups to old dogs, they enjoy the house environment and space they live in. Calming a new dogs anxiety so they can enjoy their stay is my number one priority along with ensuring they adapt to multiple dogs coexisting together while they share the space. I currently have work from early in morning and come back in the afternoon giving me time to be with the the pets and be able care. Having a routine helps maintain order for pets. Each day starts with going outside to use the bathroom and moves to water and food. Then the dogs play for a bit whil I get ready for work. The dogs are crate trained and when the kids get home, going outside is the first thing that happens, to continue with food and water. When I get home we do walks, play with toys, and belly rubs.


17. Amy M.

“Amy did an amazing job with my dog Dio. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time, but she sent me photos and kept me updated with their activities while I was gone.”


18. Susan D.
“If you want someone who’s going to treat your pet like a member of the family, Sue should be your first choice. She’s had several pets over the years and each dog, cat, turtle, bird, etc…has become a part of her family. We get pictures, texts and updates on each animal as life happens. Both of Sue’s kids have that same love for animals, as does her husband, so it’s a family thing and very important to all of them. I’ve learned to be patient when I go for a walk with her because of the constant interruptions as she greets each dog we pass and exclaims over it because it’s the cutest thing she’s ever come across. Not a surprise, because she pours that love and compassion into everything she does.”


19. Jasmine Z.

“Jasmine was wondeful!! Our animals love her and had a great time while we were away. Jasmine was great about communicating with us while we were gone, and the house was just how we left it. I highly recommend Jasmine!”


20. Michelle K.

“Michelle did a fantastic job with our two boys (93 lb golden retriever and a mini dachshund) while she house sat for us. She spent a lot of quality time and even taught them some new games (hide and seek) and made sure they were engaged with sniffing walks. She struck a great balance between our two dogs by being engaged (with our friendly golden) and gave our mini dachshund some time to warm up to her which he ultimately did even though he is very timid around new people. She was communicative, provided daily updates, and even had great questions for us that we hadn't thought of before the job started. We're already started working to get her scheduled for our next trip!”
