Emma was so great with our three dogs! She went above and beyond and we will definitely ask her back! It was so nice to know that they were in good hands while we were gone.

Ray was incredible! Definitely gave me the peace of mind when I was away for the weekend. Super professional, polite, and you can tell he enjoys taking care of the animals. Gave me frequent updates and sent photos during check ins. I’ll most definitely be rebooking with Ray!

Anthony had a great connection with the dogs and sent video updates at each interaction, which eased our minds. We’re already booked to use him again.

We left our dogs with River for a week. We had never used this app before, but River was excellent. Our younger dog is wary of strangers at first, but was a big fan of River by the time we got back! We’ll be using River again for future trips!

We were worried going into this as our dog Yogi has immense anxiety about new people, but as soon as they met, they instantly connected. She was great about keeping us updated with photos, videos, and messages. We are so glad we were able to have her there for our dogs, we can’t recommend her enough!

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats for my entire life, and I have helped take care of friend's and family's pets for over 10 years! My family's dog is now a senior, and my husband I have a Golden Retriever puppy, so I am ready to take care of your dog of any age! I truly love animals and can't wait to meet your pet and treat them like my own! I'm currently a college senior, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pets! Im available for walks, visits, and playtime in between classes, as well as mornings, evenings, and weekends. I will treat your pets like my own, and their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I closely follow your routine and directions, so your pet feels secure and comfortable while you are away. I also love sending updates and photos, since I know you are missing your pets while you're away!

Eva was great with Kudo! She gave her plenty of love and attention, and we loved hearing that Eva spent a lot of time with Kudo throughout the weekend. She sent multiple updates with pictures and was very quick to respond when we texted her to check in. Kudo is dog reactive and Eva did great taking her on walks and kept her comfortable and safe. When it was too hot out, Eva kept Kudo occupied with her sniffing games inside and played with her toys so that Kudo still was exercised mentally. She followed all instructions and left the house perfectly clean and well cared for as well. We would love to book with Eva in the future!!

Anthony was fantastic. I was afraid my elderly dog would be too difficult for a stranger to look after him, but Anthony allayed my fears and told me Charlie did well for him.

Wes and Claire kept out pets healthy and happy during our three week trip. The pictures Wes sent periodically are some of the best ever of Rudy, Luna, and reclusive Milo. So much better than boarding, I will go to them first for any future needs!

Ehlana went above and beyond for our cats. First time here for Ehlana, tornado sirens went off, she got herself, cats, food, water, and bedding to the basement and back when safe. Her care for our cats was exemplary for the rest of her stay. Very responsible and dependable sitter . Highly recommend!

River was fantastic! We were gone for 12 days and not once did I worry about my crew’s happiness or well being. River provided constant updates and really cute pictures which were much appreciated. The house was left spotless on our return as well. Very satisfied customer and hopefully long term client!
