“Suzy was fantastic - provided ample updates/photos and did a great job with my dog. She was super communicative and I always felt in the loop with regards to walks, feeding, etc. Thank you Suzy!”
3. Pamela N.
“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”
4. Karen G.
“This is the second time Karen has dogsat for my blind, senior dog who is nearly 15. I definitely recommend her to others who are looking for someone to watch their dogs or cats, whether in her home or in yours. It's hard to find someone who can care for a dog when they start having more problems as they age, but she is very communicative and I've already booked my third visit for her to watch my dog, later this month.”

“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”

We received numerous updates which made us so happy that our pets were having such a good time! They were in great hands, and our house was, too. Having her stay in our house and take care of them allowed us to relax when we were across the country - truly a gift. Highly recommend Shereen!”
14. Evelyn B.

“Alston was fantastic! Our dog gets very nervous around new sitters, but Alston put her at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated multiple times a day, and even made a special pup cup for our dog on Christmas and washed the sheets before she left! We were really able to relax on our vacation, knowing that our dog and home were in such good hands. We’ll definitely book with Alston again!”
17. Katie S.
“Katie did a great job with our two very different dogs. She kept them happy and busy, spent a ton of time with them and sent great photos. She also let the house very, very clean. Will definitely have her back.”

19. Carrie M.
“Carrie took great care of our senior dog, Judy, our home while we were out of town. She took the time to come out beforehand to meet Judy and get to know her schedule and habits. Communication was great! We definitely recommend her!”
20. Mya G.
“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition.
