Summer was wonderful with our puppy! This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter, and she immediately put us at ease. She was sweet, communicative, and kept us updated with photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands and will definitely be booking her again.
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 We had an amazing experience with Kyra watching our dog, Cozzie. She went above and beyond throughout the entire stay and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kyra spent a ton of quality time with Cozzie, giving her lots of love, attention, pets, and care, and it was clear from all the updates and photos that Cozzie was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We especially appreciated how communicative she was — she sent frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many great photos that made us feel connected the whole time. She also took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and well cared for. It’s obvious Kyra truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely trust her with Cozzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter!!
Gabriela has taken care of our dog, Blue, a few times now and stayed overnight with him at our house! We highly recommend Gabriela as she takes our dog for multiple walks a day, cares for him, and is very communicative with us during our time away. She sends us updates and photos of our dog while we are gone which is very appreciated.
Brooke was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring, attentive hands. Brook went above and beyond, not only taking wonderful care of our furry family member but also looking after our home while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Brook again soon!
Megan was absolutely wonderful was our precious pup! Felt like she truly cared for Kona and enjoyed her time with her. I trusted her completely with my home and she left it so clean and tidy.
