10/10 would hire again, recommend to a friend Chiel was unavailable for the dates I selected but Jonathan still did an excellent job looking after my two cats. He responded quickly to my request for a drop-in visit and my cats seemed to like him right away. One cat can be shy around new people and she tends to hide when they come over, but a few minutes after he arrived, she crawled out and nuzzled his hand when he reached out to her. He was very friendly and attentive, assuring me their needs would be taken care of while I was away. My cats have a specific diet that requires some attention, so it helped a lot while I was away that he communicated clearly when he would be coming over, how they were doing, and how they were eating. My friend forgot to finish a latte and she told me after we had already left, so I asked him to do it and he did. He also went above and beyond keeping their litter box clean, doing much more than initially expected without any complaints or issues. When I got home, the litter bucket was literally filled to the brim and the temperatures were high that weekend, so I cannot possibly imagine that it could have been easy for him to do that. My cats were happy to see me when I got home, but I know they had a wonderful time with Jonathan. The photos he posted showed them being very affectionate and calm around him, and it’s a huge relief to know that I can count on their well-being and happiness while I’m not around to keep an eye on them.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!, You truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Your genuine love and understanding of dogs were evident from the moment I met you. Ziggy instantly warmed up to you, and I could tell he felt safe and loved under your care. The regular updates and adorable photos you shared during his stay brought a smile to my face and reassured me that he was having a fantastic time with you. Ziggy was being a picky eater when I was away and Ethan had excellent recommendations for food toppers and picked them up from the pet store for me! Your friendly and relaxed approach made Ziggy feel right at home, and I could see the bond you formed with him. Thank you so much for treating Ziggy like family and providing him with such a wonderful experience. I give Ethan my highest recommendation to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again <3

Chad has all the perfect traits of a dog sitter. He loves every dog, no matter its size or temperament. He is kind, patient, and responsible. I have known his own dogs over the past quarter century, and they have all been very happy, long-lived companions. I would not hesitate to leave my beloved companions on Chad's care.

I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my furry family member to the care of the incredible dog walker, Roni, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with her. If you're seeking a caring, reliable, and downright pawsome dog walker, look no further! Roni goes above and beyond by providing regular updates and photos during Max's walks. It's heartwarming to see the smiles on their faces and the genuine bond they share. These updates brighten my day and serve as a testament to the wonderful connection Roni forms with her furry clients. Thank you, Roni, for being the pawsome pet pal that you are!

My first experience with Natalia when I was out of town for several days was so good that I have used her again for a second extended time away and will continue to do so. My two cats are super comfortable with her. One is 17 years old and on medication's twice a day which Natalia conscientiously made sure she had. The other is 11 years old and very skittish so it was a great surprise that she actually came out the first time Natalia was here. She did a great job making sure the cats were fed and sat with them to give them full attention and pet them; well, at least the older one while the younger one watched. She sent me updates both morning and night with photos. My trash cans were taken out and brought in, all instructions were followed carefully, and the cat area and kitchen were all cleaned. I recommend Natalia without hesitation.

Ricky is the absolute best! He has many years of experience with supporting dogs with a variety of needs and making every dog feel comfortable and at home with him. My dog is extremely shy of humans but Ricky has taken the time to get to know him, respect his boundaries and my dog has warmed up to him so well! This is not an easy feat with my pup. Ricky always has the best treats and puts his all into taking care of any being under his wing. I would gladly have Ricky walk/watch my pup anytime!

Ariena has been coming once a day Monday-Friday to let my yorkie Bobo out and take him for a walk. I tried another petsitting service before and always had accidents to clean up. Since Ariena started I haven't had to clean up one accident when I got home from work. She came every day the week before I started working to get to know my pets (one of my dogs does not like strangers). Both of my dogs warmed up to her immediately because she knew how to handle them from her past experience with other rescue animals. She is reliable and an amazing lady. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a petsitter.

I have had the honor of being around Hannah and her beautiful furbabies. She's a true pet lover and it's evident just being around her. She takes her love and care for animals very seriously and always prioritizes the needs for her pups. Not only is Hannah exceptional with her own furbabies, but she's loving with any animal she meets. I worked for Chewy (online pet retailer) and am thoroughly impressed with her level of knowledge and care. When she met my 21 years old senior pup, she was so gentle and ensured he was comfortable and loved. Not many people do well with senior dogs and watching Hannah my Stuart melted my heart. Anyone would be honored to have Hannah take care of their pets. She takes her time to understand their wants/needs, she prioritizes their health and safety, provides nurturing and love, and takes the time to continuously educate herself on how to be even better than she already is. She's a true professional and animal lover which makes Hannah the perfect fit.

Everything was great with Maria taking care of our cat. He needs heart medication administered twice a day (in a pill pocket), so we needed someone reliable. Cats aren't always easy to watch because they are wary of new people, but Maria powered through and made sure Loki was cared for...even when he insisted on hiding under the bed! Thanks, Maria!

My dog loves Aunt Lisa so much. He starts wagging his tail the minute we turn down her street. He knows it's Doggy Vacation when he sees where we are going. He doesn't want to leave when we go to pick him up. Lisa has to carry him to the car and then he looks at her like she betrayed him hahaha. We Love her and would not be comfortable using anyone else. WE have heard horro storeies about other sitters losing dogs or worse. We have not one ounce of concern when we leave him. She sends us videos and pictures often. She will Facetime if we make her:)

Thea was AMAZING! We had a very last minute booking and are so thankful she was available! Even though it was last minute, she took time for a phone call to clarify all instructions! She was very prompt in her responses and sent lots of updates and cute photos! Everything we requested was done perfectly and the dogs seemed very happy (and a little tired!) when we arrived back home! Will absolutely book again! 10/10 puppy friend!!
