1. Anthony Q.
“Anthony was awesome with my animals. He took them for walks, gave them plenty of treats, and lots of attention. I always worry about bringing a new sitter around my rescue German Shepard (he is not the best around strangers) but Anthony came in confident with no fear and reassurance that everything would be alright. To calm my fears Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of my boys while I was away which made me even more happy to have made the choice to go with Anthony. I will definitely be using Anthony in the future you can bet on it.”
2. Rachel S.
“Rachel was amazing! Our pups loved having her and we loved her updates throughout the extended weekend. On top of caring for ours dogs just as we would have. She also went above and beyond with the house by taking trash out and throwing towels and things in the washer before we arrived home. She really is amazing.”
3. Adrienna P.
“Adrienna was an excellent house sitter for my dogs! We had some last minute plans come up and she was eager to help us for the weekend. She kept us updated, and texted us with any concerns she had. I definitely felt like my dogs were safe and happy with her. We would definitely have her pet sit again!”
4. Ellie Laken S.
“I don't say listen up Got it, my bad. Let's try again with a more authentic voice for you: Hey there! I gotta tell you about my friend Ellie - she's absolutely amazing with pets. I've known her for ages, and I can say without a doubt that she's perfect for dog walking and pet sitting. My two dogs go crazy excited whenever she shows up, which says a lot about how great she is with animals. Ellie's not just good with pets, she's the whole package. She's super responsible and really pays attention to the little things. When she watched my dogs, she kept me in the loop with tons of photos and updates, which was awesome. Plus, she followed all my instructions to a T, no questions asked. What really makes Ellie stand out is that she's just an all-around awesome person. She's got this calm energy that puts both people and pets at ease right away. If you're looking for someone you can trust 100% with your furry family members, Ellie's your girl. I'd hand over my house keys and dog leash to her any day of the week. She's that good!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kylie! She has been taking care of my dog, Rebel, for quite a while now and every experience has been fantastic. Kylie is incredibly reliable and goes above and beyond to ensure Rebel is happy and well-cared for. Rebel absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that Kylie has a genuine love for animals. She sends regular updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing that Rebel is in great hands. Kylie makes sure Rebel gets the attention and care he needs. I highly recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She’s simply the best!”

18. Auryetta T.
“Aury is the best! She is our go-to pet sitter when we travel. She always takes great care of our 3 dogs. Aury is great about sending updates and exercising our very high energy border collie puppy. He can be people selective but loved Aury's calm energy from the start. Once the puppy is tuckered out, she's happy to snuggle up with our old lab to make sure he gets some love. She has years of experience and training in veterinary medicine, so we sleep easy knowing she's looking out for them and wouldn't hesitate to let us know if she has any concerns. She's exceedingly knowledgeable, responsible, thorough, and kind. We could not recommend her more!”
19. Erin K.
“Erin is wonderful and we’ll definitely use her services again!”
20. Claire V.
