1. Makayla R.
“Makayla is the best! Fast responses. Great updates and communication. Our pup felt super loved by their care. Thank you for adjusting for us :)”
2. Matt B.
“Matt went far above and beyond expectations. He house sat my 6-month-old puppy and 2 cats for 6 days, and they really tested him. The puppy chewed up a mattress pad and peed in my bed, and he washed and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Both the puppy and the cats loved him. He was gentle with both of them and gave lots of pets to everyone (cute pics of happy animals). I will definitely book him again; highly recommend to anyone!”
3. Crystal G.
“Crystal is amazing! She house/dog sat for us from Fri-Sun after just meeting everyone briefly the week before. She kept great communication with pictures and conversations. Highly recommend!”
4. Cindy C.
“Cindy was great! I hadn’t left my dogs overnight for a long time with one of them being a senior. But I felt comfortable and not worried with Cindy staying at my home with them. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will book again for sure!”
5. Scott T.
“Scott was INCREDIBLE with my three Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I hadn't even made it to the airport before I received the first of many frequent updates. Here I was worrying about them and they'd already settled in and were napping. It made it SO much easier to step on the plane knowing they were comfortable AND in good hands. And I could tell that the entire visit went well because when I got home they were completely relaxed and there was no "post trip cling". Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!”
6. Dillon S.
“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
7. Shana S.
“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”

“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”
10. Dessirae B.
“Excellent service, needed someone last minute due to family emergency and she had no issues accommodating. Regular updates about pets, and even greeted our dog for the first time ever meeting without us there. 100% recommend to everyone else in need of pet sitting/house sitting. Just like the rest of us, kids and a hubby, just trying to get by. If you scroll past Dessirae you're missing out, will definitely be using her services in the future!”
11. Phillip B.
“Great guy very professional and great with animals dresses nice as well showed up on time and made sure my dog got the exercise she needed and water after playing a hard game of fetch I definitely recommend this guy will continue using him”
12. Dillon H.
“First time letting someone watch my dogs in my own place, and it was a positive experience. Dillon followed directions well, everything seems to be as they were, and my dogs also seem normal. I appreciated the fact he messaged me a couple days before the booking to let me know he was looking forward to meeting us. One of my dogs will bark and growl at new people, and Dillon showed no fear, allowing my dog to warm up sooner than later. I was updated with a photo the next day, reassuring me everything was ok, and was able to enjoy my vacation. Dillon was communicative, friendly, respectful, and neat. Thanks again!”
13. Kendall K.
“Kendall stayed with my dogs for over a week and my home was just as I left it when we returned. Dogs were well taken care of and she even washed the linens on her bed. She was professional and mature and sent us some picks as well throughout the vacation.”
14. Kiersten F.
“Kiersten did much more than the minimum required of her to make sure our dog felt comfortable and had a friend.”
15. Ashley T.
“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”
16. Eric D.
“Eric was amazing with my dog! He kept in contact with me while I was away… updating me about my dog and his activities for the day. He sent me pictures throughout the day and even sent a video! He went the extra mile to make sure that he knew where everything was, as well. I’m definitely using his services again. He took excellent care of my dog and house.”
17. Amanda C.
“Amanda did an awesome job taking care of my pets while I was traveling! She communicated well and was responsive. My house was just as clean as I left it too :)”
18. Grace W.
“We absolutely adore Grace!! We have used her several times for cat sitting and I have to say she is the absolute best!! She is extremely flexible and is always faithful to keep in touch while we are away. I feel so comfortable and happy knowing that our kitty is in good hands while we are away! Grace goes over and above to leave everything tidy (literally better than how she found it) when she leaves! It’s honestly such a gift to come home to a happy cat and a clean home. I cannot recommend her enough! I almost hate to sing her praises bc I selfishly want to keep her for myself lol. But she has been such a blessing to our little family and I look forward to using her many more times in the future! Thank you Grace!”
19. Johana M.
“Fantastic temperament! My female poodle was not used to a housesitter and decided to spend the first day and a half barking and Johana handled it well. Would HIGHLY recommend her!”
20. Brandon S.
“Brandon has taken excellent care of my pets over the holidays and other times that I am away. I think about my pets constantly when I can't be with them and it means the world to me to have someone I trust will provide quality care while I am gone. I continue to have Brandon watch over my pets and I highly recommend you do the same!”
