1. Cortney T.
“Cortney took incredible care of Baxter and Bean. They were in great spirits when we got home from a week away and Cortney left the house spotless! We can’t wait for her to stay with our boys again!”
2. Christine C.
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
3. Yuliia P.
“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She stayed with our dog Hank in our home and provided him with lots of attention, stimulation, and loving affection. We loved the many wonderful photos she sent documenting what a good time they were having. Her great care for Hank and our home made a much needed trip possible. Highly recommend.”
4. Woody H.
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
5. Victoria M.
“Victoria did a great job. She communicated quickly, arrived on time, my dog clearly loved her, and is a generally lovely human being. I would happily hire her again”
6. Jennifer P.
“Cannot recommend Jenn enough! I’m so glad I was able to leave my dog Bodhi with such an amazing sitter. She sends such cute pictures and left my house so clean. I will definitely be asking her for future sits!”
7. Matt D.
“Matt was amazing and so good to my dogs! Great at communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommend Matt and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
8. Jonathan H.
“My dog can be quite anxious but took to Jonathan immediately! Jonathan regularly sent me photos of the fun things they were doing together while I was away for a few days which helped me focus on the project I was traveling for. I could tell me dog was in good hands and everything went well!”
9. Lily P.
“Lily was such a life saver for a last minute house sitting of my kitty, Bradley. I was heading out of town as he had a urinary blockage. Lily was a good communicator, handled his post-surgery medicine administration, and provided a lot of love and pets. I felt confident my cat was in good hands with her despite the stress of an urgent procedure before an out of town trip. I would definitely book her again.”
10. Blair H.
“Blair was kind, friendly, and pleasure to work with and did an amazing job with our pups. She communicated well, sent some adorable update pics of our two dogs, and left our house in great condition. We'd happily have her house/dog-sit again!”
11. Jessica B.
“Jessica stayed in our house and watched our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. Our dog is generally very anxious and does not like "strangers" in our house, so we were pleasantly surprised that she walked right up to Jessica and allowed her to pet her right away. It was magic! While we were away, Jessica did a great job of communicating with us and sending pictures and updates. When we returned home, our house was exactly the way we left it and our dog was happy. We would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be asking her to help again in the future when we go out of town.”
12. Michele G.
“Michele was so wonderful with our three dogs! She was caring and attentive - we could tell by the pictures she sent us every day. Would highly recommend her, and we will definitely request her help in the future!!”
13. Kimberly H.
“Kimberly took such amazing care of my dog and home. I have a 100lb leash reactive young dog and she handled her like the pro she is! I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be a repeat client! Thanks Kimberly!”
14. Alice H.
“We are so impressed with Alice’s attention to detail, care for our doggies and consideration for our home. She made sure our dogs had plenty of long walks and gave us consistent updates and pictures that were so heartwarming and made us feel so comfortable while on our trip. One of our dogs is a bit more shy, and she let us know he even warmed up to belly rubs by the end! When we got back, our apartment was spotless. After a trip, it cannot be overstated how nice and comforting it is to walk into a VERY clean (literally spotless) apartment and happy dogs.”
15. Jackson M.
“Jackson was hands-down the best dog sitter we've ever used! He was incredibly communicative, sending photos, videos, and updates regularly to us while we were away. His attention to our pup Stevie was amazing, always taking her for walks, to the dog park, working on training, and cuddling with her. We felt like we could truly enjoy our trip knowing that Stevie was in safe, kind, fun hands with Jackson. I will absolutely be using him again and can't recommend him enough!!”
16. Jackmar S.
“We couldn’t be any happier with our experience with Jackmar. She kept us updated so many times a day with photos and texts. I felt completely at ease with her taking care of my 5 very quirky dogs, with special needs, one of whom needs medicine, and my house. Thank you Jackmar! 🫶🏽”
17. Olena M.
“Olena was great! She really helped me out with a last minute sit. She was very communicative and really cared about Max, even staying with him over New Years Eve when he was pretty anxious about the fireworks. She sent photos and texts every day, and left the house very clean, even washing the sheets!”
18. Brandy B.
“We are so happy to have found Brandy! We had a wonderful experience from the first interaction with her! She was willing to meet us twice prior to the house/dog sitting. Throughout our trip we received updates that were reassuring and comforting. We hired Brandy for a longer upcoming trip and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and reliable sitter!”
