“Holly bailed me out when I had a last minute appointment. I couldn't have been happier. Came out on a cold rainy afternoon and took care of my babies like they were her own. I highly recommend her. She was on time, sweet and you can immediate sense she loves her job. I will definitely use her again.”
“Crystal was great. She was helpful teaching me about training a husky i recently adopted thos week. My doggie adored her and cat Jackie. She provided pictures. Great sitter who communicated keeping my anxiety at bay. I am using her again.”
“Vladimir dog sat/house sat for us while we were out of town. He was very communicative and gave regular updates and pictures. We were very glad to have him stay. We came home to a happy pup and clean home. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend Vladimir!”
“Aaliyah was wonderful! She stayed in our home with our 6 month old puppy for a week while we were away. Pepper loves her and Aaliyah stayed in constant communication with us while we were gone. She sent us updates and photos everyday. She was also extremely respectful to our home and we will absolutely use her again.”
“Elvia was excellent with our mini-goldendoodle who doesn’t like most sitters. She played with him and sent us great photos. She is dependable and asked a lot of questions that showed she cared about our pet. We definitely use her again!”
“Emma was great! She was extremely professional. She took amazing care of both my pet and my house while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again. Perfect all around.”
“Anine took incredible care of my 3 dogs (2 of which are a bit crazy / needy) and was so pleasant, accommodating, followed instructions to a tee and really helped us in a bind. We feel so fortunate that she was able to watch our pups. Anine was super responsive whenever I sent messages, she read my long (probably too detailed) texts thoroughly, and she sent lots of pics and updates. I cannot say enough wonderful things. I don’t have the easiest pack, and the fact that there are 3 of them can make things hectic, but Anine was calm cool and collected and I can tell my dogs felt super comfortable with her energy :) Thank you Anine!!!”
“Nicole was great with Sky and Sid! She was super communicative, asked great questions, and sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the day. It was such a comfort knowing they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend!”
“Dagmar is truly the absolute BEST. I was incredibly nervous about leaving our dog baby overnight during our winter and spring travels, but from the very beginning, Dagmar put my entire family at ease. Her attentiveness, kindness, and genuine love for animals were immediately clear, and it's made all the difference. Plus, I could tell our dog was also comfortable with her right away. She cared for our dog as if they were her own. She is thoughtful, patient, and completely reliable. Sends lots of pictures and updates through out her stay. We've come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and that peace of mind is priceless. It’s not easy to trust someone with a beloved pet, but with Dagmar, we never had a single doubt. We feel so lucky and grateful to have found her. We look forward to working with her on-going and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”
“We were very happy that Nicole could spend a few hours with Buster today! He loves to hang out with her and we are able to enjoy a day out without worry.”
“Brandon completely went above and beyond to care for our two cats and home while we were gone for a week and a half! He asked thoughtful questions, followed all directions to a T, and often sent some greatly appreciated picture/video updates (and prompt responses). We were SO grateful to return home to find our cats in amazing spirits after clearly having some solid companionship, and to find our house exactly as we left it. Would absolutely book with him again!”
“Claudia was very professional and communicative. She did a great job keeping us updated on our kitty while we were gone. She left our house in a great condition too!”
“This was our first time using DJ as our dog sitter and we were very happy with everything. He was timely and responsive both during the initial meet and greet session and then with the actual dog sitting. He also communicated well, took care of our mail, and left the house near and clean. Most importantly, Finnegan, our 12 year old yellow lab liked him! We would definitely use DJ again.”
“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
“Me and my husband were worry to leave Chloe for 14 days but Ashley and Mauricio were absolutely amazing! They stayed at my house with Chloe and they took amazing care of her! They sent me a lot of photos and videos and I can tell she misses them already! Thank you s much for taking such great care of Chloe! You deserve more than 5 stars ?”

Anine stayed with our two Goldens and our two cats for a weekend. It was her first time staying with them and everything went seamlessly. She sent us several photos and the animals looked so happy and comfortable with her. She has a wonderful personality and took excellent care of the whole crew. I look forward to having her stay with them again (and I am sure they are looking forward to it too!
Holly bailed me out when I had a last minute appointment. I couldn't have been happier. Came out on a cold rainy afternoon and took care of my babies like they were her own. I highly recommend her. She was on time, sweet and you can immediate sense she loves her job. I will definitely use her again.
Aaliyah stayed with our dog and cat for 5 days while we left the country and made it such an ease. She sent constant updates, checking in with pictures and status updates several times per day, and it was clear that our pets loved her and felt at ease. She always leaves our home spotless and our pets can’t wait to hang with her again soon!
