1. Shykala B.
“Shykala agreed to watch my dog at my home on short notice while I was away for the weekend. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule in order to do a meet and greet with my dog, who is anxious around new people. While I was away, she sent multiple updates, photos, and maps showing the routes she walked with my dog. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it and shykala had taken the trouble to strip the bedsheets and take out the trash. I will definitely be asking her to watch my fur baby again!”
2. jessica k.
“Jessica was great! She took great care of our two dogs and communicated multiple times a day to let us know how things were going. We would definitely love to have her watch our dogs again!”
3. Jenna S.
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our 4 pets. Even making sure they were safe and in the basement with her during a tornado warning! (Thank you Jenna!) She took the time to really play with and watch over them all. She was a great communicator keeping us updated with pictures and texts. She was also very flexible and accommodating when our trip ended a little sooner than we had expected since our hotel didn't have the rooms we had reserved available and we ended up driving home at 2am. She even left our house cleaner than when she arrived!=) We will definitely be requesting her again. Thanks Jenna!! You were AWESOME!”
4. Kristie O.
“Kristie was great. My dog unexpectedly had to have a tumor on his side removed the week before I left and she was very accommodating to deal with wound care (it was fairly healed, but still needed attention) and to give the last bit of the antibiotics course. She provided daily updates with pics and was kind enough to wash dishes and laundry before leaving, which I hadn't expected of her. She took my dog in her car to a lake 2x I think, which I could tell by the photos he really enjoyed. My cat is a snuggler and she shared photos of him snuggling with her, so I took that as a sign he liked her. :) I will book her again for my next trip in Oct.”
5. Justine B.
“Justine was great! She sent lots of updates and kept our two high energy dogs active during her stay. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will certainly ask her to come back in the future.”
6. Konnor T.
“Konnor was a great sitter! So easy to communicate with and was great with the boys during the initial meeting. The dogs were barely excited to see us when we got home so they were probably tired out, which we love! Thanks again, Konnor!”
7. Summer R.
“Summer stayed at my house with my 2 dogs, cat and fish for 3 nights. She took such good care of them and my house. She sent nice updates and photos and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She was professional and loving to my pets. I will not hesitate to use her again!”
8. Erin B.
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
9. Anna S.
“Anna’s simply the best, she handles our slightly-silly pup with ease and is a great communicator. She cares for the pets as if they were her own, and isn’t that what we all want?!”
10. Meghan B.
“Meghan was great! She was fantastic at communicating and very good with our dogs, one of which doesn’t always like people. Will definitely use Meghan again!”
11. Aichon Y.
“I had a great experience with Aichon. She stayed in my home for a week and took care of my cat Daisy who requires twice daily medication before meals which makes it harder to just have a neighbor stop by to feed her. I was a little worried since Daisy can be shy with new people but she seemed to warm up to Aichon right away! I got photos of Daisy almost every day which was nice reassurance that she was happy and well cared for. I do get notifications when my security system is turned on and off so I know that Aichon was in the home every night and usually around for at least a few hours each day too, so I know Daisy was getting plenty of attention! She seemed happy when I got home and the house looked great. I'll definitely use Aichon again!”
12. Shannon T.
“Shannon did a great job taking care of our pus whoever were out of town. She really took the time to understand their personalities and needs (esp snuggle needs, which with our pair is pretty high! 🤣) and really made them feel at ease. She sent tons of updates and cute pics while we were away and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend!”
13. Rachel W.
“Rachel was great with both my dogs. My dogs can be somewhat demanding, but it didn't phase her at all. She also handled me messing up her access code time without losing her composure. (I didn't handle it quite as well... lol) She sent pictures and updates every day, and I knew my dogs were being well cared for. I'll definitely hire Rachel again.”
14. Marykay B.
“Marykay was an absolute lifesaver for my pup and home during my Christmas trip to Europe. Her exceptional care ensured I returned to a joyful and healthy puppy, radiating happiness thanks to her attentive and loving approach. Not only did she masterfully look after my pup, but she also took great care of my home, leaving it in perfect condition. Marykay's reliability, kindness, and expertise in pet care truly stood out. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent seeking peace of mind while away.”
15. Rachel K.
“Rachel is a natural with animals. I feel like you could throw her into any situation and she'd be great! She's thoughtful, trustworthy, and leaves your pups happy and content!”
16. Courtney T.
“Courtney is fantastic and was able to help me out with an evening walk (last minute) as well as sitting for my Shiba during the week I was out of town. My place was exactly as I left it, and I came home to a happy Shibe. Courtney was great with communication and overall super easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend.”
17. Natalie D.
“Natalie took care of our four animals for the week we were on vacation. She gave daily updates and you could tell she enjoyed being around them. It let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about them.”
18. Lilah F.
“Lilah recently house sat and took care of my dog Honey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, she was responsive, friendly and made sure to ask lots of questions to understand Honey’s needs and quirks. I received updates and photos while away, and Honey was happy and well cared for when I returned home. An all around great experience, and I hope Lilah is available to hang out with Honey during my next trip.”
19. Cecilia T.
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Cecilia. She made sure both of our animals felt loved and cared for, and frequently went above and beyond to make our time away enjoyable for them. She maintained excellent communication throughout our trip and was incredibly adaptable and easy to work with as plans changed.”
20. Celia H.
“Celia was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. She was punctual, professional, and very thorough with caring for our senior dog. She made sure to give us daily updates and keep our pup on her schedule with the meds she needs. She also left our house sparkling clean. Would highly recommend her!”
