1. Shawnee S.
“If we could leave 10 stars we would! Shawnee is amazing! Our babies loved her, and she took such great care of not only our babies but our home as well. We had some unexpected appliance issues arise while we were away, Shawnee was great about communicating with us and letting us know not only what was going on, but stepping in and making sure that everything was taken care of as if it was her home. She reached out every day and let is know how our pups were doing, and took amazing pictures, and sent us multiple pictures every day. We cannot express our gratitude for everything that Shawnee did for us, and how well she cared for our babies, they were so happy and well cared for. Of course it's never easy to leave your pets when you go away, but moving forward when we travel and can't take our pups with us, we will be reaching out to Shawnee to come back and take care of them, we know that we have nothing to worry about when Shawnee is caring for our pups and our home. Thank you Shawnee you are AMAZING!!!!”

“My dog and I were very happy with Christian. Christian is awesome, very attentive and caring. He kept me updated throughout the day with comments, photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my Scooby with Christian. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Scooby prince.”
3. Katelyn S.
“Katey was great! She sent lots of photo updates of our pups and cat. It is so comforting to know our babies are with someone who genuinely cares about them. Thank you Katey!”
4. Casandra O.
““I can’t say enough great things about Casandra! She watched my dog, Malachi, for three weeks while I was traveling abroad, and her care exceeded all expectations. Not only did she handle two major hurricanes (Helene & Milton) during that time, but she kept my house clean, ensured Malachi was well-fed, and even took him to her home when my power went out. Despite being without power twice, Casandra remained calm, resourceful, and reliable throughout. She consistently sent me updates and photos of Malachi, and every time I reached out, she responded within minutes. Her communication was top-notch, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!””
5. Megan F.
“We hired Megan to do some over night visits for our three cats for a week. When we returned it was obvious they were well taken care of. She was responsive and sent us pictures- which was nice because we have a lot of anxiety about leaving them so long. We would absolutely hire her again if she’d have us.”
6. Kenneth C.
“I have never used a pet sitting service before and I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased. Kenneth was the absolute best!! He kept me updated with daily text and pictures. He even washed the rug after Gidget had an accident and my house was exactly the way I left it. Kenneth will always be my first choice. If you want the best, then hire Kenneth. You will not be disappointed.”
7. Alex e.
“Alex was great. First time using her and everything was great and the dogs liked her! She took them out for walks, potty breaks, and was great to them. She stayed over at our house and everything was perfect. I would use her again!”
8. Mickey M.
“I'm very cautious of leaving my dog in someone else's care due to age and on going medical conditions. Mickey made me feel comfortable leaving my best friend in her care. She was very diligent in administering his daily meditation and special food on schedule. I would recommend her as a responsible person to care for your home and pet.”
9. Alison N.
“Alison took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates so we knew what was going on at home while we were away. I would definitely recommend her!”

13. Keilani D.
“We went on a vacation out of state and we had 3 dogs and 2 cats at the time. She stayed over night for about two weeks a little less than two weeks but we also have cameras in our home just in case one of our cats got into something they weren't supposed to. She fed them took them out religiously waking up at 6am and got home around 4pm on Wednesday. No pee smells the litter was clean She even cleaned the toilets and swept the floors. She would play with them and we let her watch TV and it was so cute that the dogs all sat with her and watched with her.”

“Absolutely fantastic!”
15. Luciano B.
“We booked Luciano last minute when we were unable to get ahold of our old sitter. He responded quickly and was able to schedule a meet and greet & book us right away. Our pups loved him from the moment he walked in the door and he took such wonderful care of them! He sent photos and updates which allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our pups while we were gone. He also took great care of our apartment while we were away! If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring pet sitter- look no further! We will definitely be booking Luciano again in the future!”

“Sunni has been watching my families dogs and cats for years and is one of the only people I trust to care for my beloved pets. She goes the extra mile to attend to all of their needs.”
17. Audrey S.
“I highly recommend Audrey as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible and compassionate and truly loves animals. Audrey is always attentive to every pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in her care. As a pet owner herself, it's easy to see how much she values the well-being of every animal she looks after. She goes above and beyond to make sure pets are not only safe but happy and healthy, providing peace of mind to pet parents. Audrey's dedication and love for animals are very obvious.”
18. Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
