1. Jessie I.
“Jessie was a fabulous sitter for our usually shy and cautious cat Merlin. Within the first 12 hours, Merlin came out of hiding, was curious, and let Jessie pet him. She even brought a homemade cat toy for him, which he loves playing with. Jessie sent pictures, videos and updates. She house sat as well and took such great care of our home. Merlin will look forward to future visits, as will we. I would recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a kind and attentive caretaker of their precious pets.”

He sent great photos and was very accommodating with our changing travel schedules. We returned to happy pups and a clean house! Will definitely be contacting Andrew again in the future!”
9. Sade B.
“Sade was the BEST - sending pictures of Marvin, taking him to our local reservoir, giving him plenty of snuggles, and just letting us feel relaxed while we’re away. Marvin isn’t the easiest dog sometimes and we feel so calm and comfortable knowing he’s in Sade’s hands!”

13. William S.
“William took great care of Maddie while we were gone for a week. Due to her being an elderly bulldog, she has some medical needs, which he attended to very well. I would have no issue, leaving my dog with him again for a short or long periods of time as a dog sitter. I would highly recommend him!”
14. Brooke C.
“Brooke was wonderful! She did a great job with our dog and made sure to get him outside in advance of the sweltering heat during her stay. She communicated well and made us very confident that our dog was being well cared for. She also left our house so clean we couldn't even tell she was here! We would definitely recommend Brooke and look forward to future opportunities to use her!”
15. Emma D.
“Emma was so sweet with my dog while I was away. He warmed up to her quickly (he can be shy) and got comfortable enough to sleep by her feet in bed. She kept me updated with how things were going periodically. I would definitely recommend Emma to others!”

Knowing Allison was with Rosie really allowed us to relax. Rosie can be a bit shy, but it seems like she really warmed up to Allison! When we need to go out of town again, we won't hesitate contacting Allison!”
