1. Lori M.
“AMAZING! Lori is truly amazing. For the first time leaving my puppy, it felt like I was leaving her with a family member. Lori knew all the right questions to ask during our first meeting and would send me the best updates during the day. She stuck to the schedule that I left her and went above and beyond being able to communicate with me. She was so great with my dog and she was also very flexible when I had stuff come up. We truly appreciate and love Lori. I will be requesting her again!”
2. Mandy G.

“Jen was wonderful! Super communicative which really helps us feel at ease when we are away. She followed our care instructions and provided exercise, love, and enrichment to our dog and cat. Thank you Jen!”
6. Ally R.
“Ally was amazing with my cat and dog for a weekend trip! My dog was on multiple medications and has a major fear of fireworks and Ally never missed a dose and gave Marley comfort when needed to soothe her anxieties. She went above and beyond by taking Marley out every couple hours to avoid accidents caused by the medications, and cleaned up after her when she had them.”
7. Matthew P.
“Matthew watched our cats and dog while we did a 2.5 week trip and did a great job. The pets and our house were well cared for and everything looked great and clean upon our return. He even got the pets each Halloween costumes! It was our first time using a pet sitter that stayed in our house and it was a great experience for all. Will book again!”
8. Ofelia M.
“Ofelia took such wonderful care of our dog! We would love to have her back any time. He was so happy and content when we got home. She sent sweet pictures every day and was communicative when there were any questions. Thank you Ofelia!”
9. Kathy B.
“Kathy is the best sitter ever! She is so thoughtful and kind. Checking in and sending photos. My flight was delayed coming home and she graciously stayed later with my pup. Arrived to a clean house! I know my pup is in good hands when I am away : )”
10. Tom T.
“Tom is fantastic! We have two large, energetic young pups (aka not easy!) and Tom took great care of them while we were out of town. One of them has some separation anxiety and he was very accommodating. He made sure we were updated, asked great questions, and overall made us feel like our dogs were in wonderful hands. In addition, he took great care of our house! Highly recommend. Thank you, Tom!”
11. Wendy V.
“We always felt comfortable knowing Wendy was taking care of our boys. They’re just like children to my wife and myself. And she watered the plants and kept the house clean. The next time we go away, we’ll request her…”
12. Shanna "Lee" S.
“Lee was an excellent dog and house sitter for a long trip for us! We have two high energy/trouble making dogs and they dealt with them really well. They sent daily updates which was great! At one point one of our dogs had a little health scare while we were gone and Lee went above and beyond communicating with us. Would definitely book again!”

16. Jacey F.
“Jacey was great with my large dog, and made her feel right at home and comfortable from the start of her visits! Would definitely recommend and hope to have Jacey watch my dog again soon”
17. Jennifer H.
“I was so happy with Jenny. Her care for my beloved cat was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I entrusted my furry friend into her care, I knew I had made the right decision. Jenny's genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. She seemed to love my cat as much as I do! That made me feel really great about leaving her in Jenny's care. Not only did she ensure that my cat's basic needs were met, but she also went above and beyond to provide companionship and affection. I loved how she sent me photos of my cat, which always brought a smile to my face and reassured me that my cat was in good hands. What truly sets Jenny apart is her intuition and understanding of animals. She quickly bonded with my cat, earning its trust and affection in return. I could tell that my cat was happy and content under Jenny's care, which meant the world to me. I cannot recommend Jenny highly enough to anyone in need of pet care. She is not just a caregiver; she is a true animal lover who treats each furry friend as if they were her own. Thank you, Jenny, for your exceptional care and dedication. It makes me feel so much better when I need to leave town.”
18. Amy T.
“Amy did an incredible job meeting the needs of both of our fur babies while staying in our home. If she had questions, she asked and I appreciated her attention to details. I highly recommend having her watch your dogs - she did great with ours!”
19. Sye P.
“Sye is an amazing dog/house sitter. Sends a ton of photos and lets us know what's going on multiple times through the stay. I won't hesitate to use him again if we can get him.”
20. Christa S.
“Christa went above and beyond and was loving and patient even when my furry child was acting up! Emmy can’t wait for her to come back!”
