1. Anais D.
“Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.”
2. Lisa B.
“She followed through on our agreed upon care plan.”
3. Sarah V.
“Sarah is so personable and sweet. I chose her because she seemed really compassionate towards older doggies. I felt bad because my doggies have so many supplements and medications. Easy to communicate with and just a very overall nice calm energy about her😁”

“Erica babysat our furbabies for a few days while we were away. She took very good care of them and took them on daily walks. Erica was punctual and made our trip away very stress free. Our pups seemed to really like her and the cat enjoyed her company as well. Would definitely hire Erica again and reccommend her for fur-loving services.”
6. Leo S.
“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”
7. Diana L.

8. Kayla N.
“Kayla was a great sitter for our dog who can be a bit particular and a handful. The house was also left in great condition. We’ll definitely be using Kayla again!”

10. Alyssa S.
“Alyssa stayed in our home and watched our two dogs, cat and guinea pigs for three nights. She was very communicative and always very quick to respond to any texts or questions. She was also very accommodating, in regards to our schedule that ended up changing a bit. She was tidy and thorough. We will definitely love to rebook her in the future. Thanks Alyssa!”
11. Jamile G.
“Jamile was the first sitter I have had stay overnight in my home, and I felt so comfortable knowing Luna was well taken care of! Jamile was communicative and took care of all of Lunas needs. Highly recommend for a trustworthy sitter.”
12. Moriah T.
“Moriah was fanatastic. She was communicative and easily followed my 5-page care guide ? for taking care of our pups. We have one pup who has particular and special needs including a daily medication. Moriah sent pics, took them on daily walks, asked before offering treats, and asked permission prior to taking them to the beach. Our pups seemed happy and well loved when we returned from our 5 night 6 day vacation. One of our pups had an upset tummy and it required a diet change and monitoring while we were away and she handled it with confidence and ease. We would love to have Moriah back to snuggle our pup fam on a future vacation.”
13. Daria S.
“Daria was great! We came back to a couple of very happy pets. She was great at communicating through our trip, and sent great photos and videos.”
14. Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
15. Estefania O.

“Svetlana was amazing! She went above and beyond. Sent great pictures and the dogs were very well cared for. I will use her again and do not hesitate giving here the highest recommendation. Very knowledgeable and loving towards dogs and very sweet.”
17. Ashlyn S.
“Ashlyn is the best! My dog loves when she sits. Ashlyn took great care of my dog while we were on a trip. She provided some first aid to a minor injury that my dog got on his paw a few days before our trip. She also kept me informed with periodic updates each day.”
18. Marlene P.
“Marlene did a great job taking care of Pepper after we were out of town for a week! She was punctual and made sure Pepper got plenty of snuggles. She also was very kind about bringing in packages and kept the house really clean and tidy. We will definitely book with her again!”
19. Darren N.
“All good here. Darren took care of my 3 cats for 5 days, one of whom required daily meds. Two of my cats are difficult to distinguish and he was very cautious in establishing identity. The house was tidy upon re-entry. Recommended.”
20. Nicole S.
“Nicole was fabulous! my inbox stayed busy with postings about what was happening back home with my little dog, starting with his sadness at my departure, on through his playtimes and walks and naps until the last night when he moved into bed with Nicole, sign of total surrender to her charms! Each posting included wonderful photos so that by the end I had a portfolio as if from a professional photo-shoot! memories to treasure! I was welcomed home by a happy, healthy pooch I had been hesitant to leave with anyone --thanks to Nicole, he did great!”
