1. Allison T.

“Responded to our last minute booking and was there before we left! Dogs warmed up to her immediately and she made everything easy. Kept us up to date on everything. Look forward to rebooking with her :)”


2. Beth B.

“We rebooked Beth to watch our 4 dogs and once again, everybody was happy and healthy when we got home. Beth does a wonderful job. Dogs love her and so do we. We even came home to spotless house. Thanks, Beth! We appreciate you:)”


3. Dan S.

“Dan showed our pup a lot of love. He updated us with photos and followed instructions well. He will do the same for your furry friends!”


4. Shadae J.

“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”


5. Zoe W.
“Zoe is the most observant and intentional pet caretaker I have ever seen. She puts thought into daily action for her own pets as well as other people’s. I have had Zoe watch my cats, dogs, and fish. She has never made a mistake and always been very caring and loving to my animals. Other than that, Zoe is an outstanding person and very responsible. She acts in a timely manner and is deliberate in all the work she does. Not only would Zoe be an amazing caretaker for your pet, she will exceed in all areas of the caretaking process.”


6. Zachary A.
“Zach watched our 9 “kids” for 14 days. Unfortunately it was not an uneventful stay for him as our kids were not on their best behavior! Zach handled a not so feeling good old girl, a bratty teenager and one in heat like a champ! If it wasn’t for him we’d never get to take a break! This was not the first time we’ve had Zach sit and it definitely won’t be the last. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Zach!”


7. Giovanni B.

“Did everything under the sun to make sure our pup is cared for and we were stress free for our first trip without our dog. Couldn’t have had anyone more reliable.”


8. Keagan S.

“Keagan took great care of our boys!”


9. Karly J.

“Karly was great with our elderly dogs. We plan to use her again.”


10. Rachel B.

“Rachel did a great job! We always knew exactly how our dogs were doing and she went above and beyond to take good care of them! Our house was left super clean as well!”


11. Abigail G.
“Abbie watched our dog Eli many times. It was either for a week’s vacation or long weekend. He had diabetes so it was important to find the perfect person to take care of him. He required two shots a day and enjoyed walks. She always took great care of him and we never had to worry when we were gone. Abbie loves dogs and has had several of her own over the years. She is very loving, kind, experienced and responsible person. I would highly recommend her to be your first choice as a pet caregiver.”


12. Madelyn S.

“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. She had great communication, was flexible, and was really easy to work with! We knew our dogs and house were in great hands while we were away with Madelyn watching them. Would highly recommend her!”


13. Megan B.
“Megan has always been an animal lover! She has watched both of my dogs and treats them as they were her own. I feel so comfortable leaving them in her care.”


14. Laura S.

“Laura was the best and took amazing care of my girl Layla! She sent updates and pictures every day and had zero doubts about her getting the best care. Couldn’t recommend Laura more & she’s my new go to!”


15. Medi G.
“For the entirety of time that I have known Medi, over 10 years of friendship, she has always had animals and their care on the forefront of her mind. She takes into account how pets are used to their routines and adapts her skillset to best take of them. This includes communicating throughly with owners to learn about their pets and getting to know the pet personally while she looks after them. Medi is always willing to go above and beyond for the animals that are placed in her care, as she cares for them as much as she cares for her own. I couldn't recommend Medi as a pet sitter enough for a pet owner!”


16. Madisyn R.
“Maddi watched after our cattle dog Kimchee for a weekend while we were away and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. She was thorough when asking questions about Kimchee’s care and sent picture updates while we were away. Maddi stayed in our apartment and was very respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”


17. Angie M.
“Angie is such a good sitter for our little guy, Beau. She is kind, loving, caring and very professional. She has been very dependable when we have asked her to come and sit for him. She takes him on walks, plays with him, feeds him, send us pictures and videos, and has stayed overnight a few times too. We live in a deed restricted community so we have to pick up the wastes from the dog and she has always done that too. I highly recommend Angie as a pet sitter or just dog walker to anyone.”


18. Karen S.

“Karen is awesome! My dogs are well taken care of by her and have fun and relaxed when I can’t be there. She is very attentive, responsive, keeps me updated, and there when the girls need care and loving. She sends me photos, follows my info on the dogs, and leaves my home spotless. She’s great!!! I trust my two dogs with her unconditionally!”


19. Christopher B.
“Chris is a wonderful and loving pet-sitter! He has lovingly cared for my 4 cats when I've been away and they are always happy and healthy when I come home!”


20. Chloe H.

“Chloe took amazing care of both our pups for an entire weekend while we were away traveling. She went out of her way to care for our puppy and her specific feeding schedule, and spoiled them with lots of love. She even got them some new toys which they are obsessed with!! I highly recommend Chloe for any time you need someone to not only watch over but truly care for your pets :-)”
