1. Hieu & Anna N.
“I have never had anyone stay in my home to doggy sit while I was out of town, but my regular drop-off sitters were unavailable. I contacted Hieu and Anna about sitting in my home for my almost 15 year old furkid, Zoe. We did a meet and greet and I was instantly comfortable with both Hieu and Anna. Zoe was her usual standoffish self, but I knew she would be fine. Hieu and Anna showed up on time and took excellent care of Zoe while I was away! They took Zoe on long walks and a couple of car rides. They provided pictures and daily updates of their time with Zoe. It was evident, when I arrived home, that Zoe had been well cared for. They also took excellent care of my home while they were here! The place was cleaner than when I left! I recommend Hieu and Anna 1000%! I will definitely ask them to sit for Zoe in the future!”
2. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is fantastic! Our pups were so relaxed with that pictures from her appeared as if we never left them. Stephanie is warm and caring with incredible patience for owners and pets. Food and meds were given as requested. We received nightly check-ins which was so comforting. We will be using Stephanie for additional services.”
3. Caitlin H.
“I can't say enough about Caitlin! She was wonderful with the girls! She gave me updates and left a nice note for us to find when we got home! We will definitely become a repeat customer!”
4. Andrea O.
“Andrea was so good with our labradoodle, Ellie. Andrea took care of all of Ellie’s needs and also kept us up to date on how the weekend went. We felt 100% comfortable with Andrea and highly recommend her!”
5. Ty W.
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”
6. Natyah S.
“Natyah really loves animals and I could tell they were extremely detailed oriented and went the extra mile to conquer an ant colony in my home. My kitties were taken care of and I will definitely call Natyah when we leave town again.”
7. Vanessa & Geoffrey R.
“Vanessa was wonderful pet/house sitting for my crew (3 dogs and a cat) while we were on vacation for a week. I was able to relax knowing my fur babies were in excellent hands!”
8. Deborah G.
“Wow, is all I can say. Deborha is a fantastic fur- babysitter and housesitter. I come home and feel the respect and care with which she treats her environment. It’s was an absolute joy to have care for what means the most to me, my critters. Very communicative, sent me joyful pictures, I’m just really grateful to have had her loving care while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”
9. Kelly L.
“Kelly was absolutely amazing looking after our golden retriever, Frank. She took the most fantastic care of him and sent us frequent updates with pictures and videos, always keeping us in the loop with how he’s doing. We felt such peace that Frank was being loved and cared for while we were away, and Kelly went over and above our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Kelly enough, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for us and Frank.”
10. Andrew K.
About: I have lived with and cared for my cats and dogs over the past 15 years. I currently live with my 2 tabby cats and 1 German Shepherd. I mainly work from home so my daily routine includes caring for my pets throughout the day. We have a large yard for our dog and are also able to go on walks on our street here. I have lived and cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with any size cat/dog. I'm also detail oriented in following all owners specific instructions.
11. Anna D.
“Anna treated our fur babies as of they were her own while we were away. She's responsible, trustworthy, professional, and is communicative with us. We look forward to booking her again and again!”
12. Jade M.
“Thank you again for watching our pups. We've booked with Jade several times now and have always been hapy with the care she provides. When one of our dogs wasn't feeling well, she kept us informed and promptly responded. Thanks again!”
13. Eldeen D.
“Best dog sitter around. Hands done. Extremely responsive and timely. I would definitely highly recommend her.”
14. Penjulee A.
“Penjulee is so kind, responsible, and genuinely cares about the well-being of my 3 year old pup. I was hesitant with hiring a pet sitter at first, but Penjulee has proven she is trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and very reliable. She has been taking care of my pup on numerous occasions now and my pup loves her belly rubs and cuddles. Thank you, Penjulee!”
15. Douglas J.
“I can not recommend Douglas enough! Right before we had to leave, we had to go to the vet and was prescribed way more meds than normal and he did it all perfectly. Not only did he take the best care of my pup, he sent photos and updates and also made sure our home was spotless!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
16. Katherine M.
“I’m located in Four Seasons in Dumfries. Katherine always comes to take my golden retriever ( Cleo )out for walks and sometimes stays the night. She is very responsive when I need an update on Cleo. They both have a blasted when together and love seeing Cleo have fun and learning tricks.”
17. Kiara R.
“Kiara was great and accommodating for an emergency trip. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets. She kept me informed with pictures and quick responses to communication throughout the stay were comforting. Moreover, she respected the boundaries within my home and the dogs loved having her for a 3 day sleepover. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
18. Fran D.
“Fran did an outstanding job of taking care of our pup. She was very attentive to his needs and kept me updated throughout the night. We will definitely use Fran again.”
19. Olivia N.
“She was amazing, my dog Fen loves her and she is a sweetheart ❤️”

About: School principal caring for kids at work and pets at home! I have a pet friendly home with a fenced in backyard. I keep a very tidy home so there is nothing for them to get into! Pets are welcome to roam the house, be on the furniture, and make themselves as comfortable as possible under my care and supervision. I have 3 amazingly sweet ragdoll cats who are everything to me. They are super chill and just like to lay around and cuddle. I know when I travel, I always worry incessantly about the safety and nurturing of my animals. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible to care for your pets. I am a safe person to provide a comfortable, loving place for your babies when you are away. I promise to love and protect them like my own! I can send pictures/videos and updates as much as you’d like. Please send your babies to me when you vacation! I care for my own pets daily and spend a lot of time with them in the evenings and all day on weekends. I only work 2 minutes from home, so I visit throughout the day. I have 3 indoor cats, so I’m overly protective of keeping the doors closed and locked at all times. I have cameras in my house that I can access on my phone while I am away to make sure they are okay. I keep a very clean house to make sure pets don’t get into anything.
