We recommend Jane highly for your pooches dog sitting needs!”

“Dion is fantastic and I would definitely recommend him. He responded quickly and professionally to my last minute request. He sent photo updates and has a great room for my anxious dog to hang out in with his dog. He took my dog for a walk and has a great yard for them to play in. My dog was so calm at pick up. I couldn’t be happier! Will book with him again.”


7. Sara W.

“Sara was great at communicating with me and sending pics of Luna which really helped me enjoy my vacation and not worry.

18. Scotty W.


“Best Dog sitter you could ask for! I was very nervous to use this app and Scotty is a dream sitter. Milo stayed for 12days while I traveled out the country and he was the happiest he’s ever been while away from me. I received consistent updates on how he was doing during his stay, pictures and my needs /questions were addressed in a timely manner. Milo received the care I asked for plus beyond that. He absolutely will be returning !”

“Jenny was awesome! We are so happy she was able to help us out last minute. Piper absolutely loved the long walks and great care Jenny provided. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend!! Thank you Jenny!”


20. Lauren & Wynn H.

“Atlas and Rocky, Lauren and Wynn's pup, became fast friends. I was nervous leaving behind our pup for the first time but I don't think he even whined when we left. I really appreciated the photos Wynn and Lauren sent as I could see how much fun Atlas was having. It's truly a family affair! I expect Atlas will want to go back anytime we are out of town.”
