Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!

Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Great experience - my dog is nine and has only stayed with family in the past, so it was wonderful to find a caring sitter locally who was able to care for her. Very responsive when contacted, and was flexible around timing (7am on New Year's Day, wow!) 10/10 would recommend.

Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.

Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!

Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.

Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!

It was Mochi's first time with Mengzhen. There was another dog staying with her at the same time. We were weary of the breed but Mengzhen eased our concerns and kept them apart. She also kept us updated with several pictures and videos, which is always greatly appreciated. She and Alex were great Would highly recommend.

Lailoo was so great with our 2 year old puppy Harry. It was so nice getting updates throughout the day along with pictures to see what they were up to and how he was doing with her. Bathroom and feeding updates were great for us too so we know his state when we get home! She played with him and walked him and made sure he was hydrated in this heat wave! I completely trust her with any future dog sits!
