1. Amy Y.
“Amy was a gem house sitting with our two kitties. One kitty loved her and our neurotic kitty hid most of the time, but that wasn’t Amy’s fault. Amy offered to wash sheets and towels and dishes, which I thought was extraordinary. She communicated well with us while we were away and sent us pictures of the kitties too. I would definitely hire her again.”
2. Carla V.
“Carla is an experienced pet caretaker and we were happy to have her watching our cat and dog while we took vacation. Her communication was fabulous and she went above & beyond keeping our household ticking. We’ll definitely ask her to help out again!”
3. Julie A.
“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”
4. Alexander S.
“Fantastic experience with Alex. He was great with my pets and provided peace of mind for me while I was gone. Excellent communication and the house was spotless. Thanks again Alex!”
5. Jillian G.
“Jillian is amazing. She took such great care of my dog & house while I was away. She kept me posted with fantastic updates & communication the whole time & I couldn’t recommend her more. I already booked her for my next trip!”
6. Faith S.
“Faith is so amazing! She has a gift and we are so happy we found her. Nala, our German shepherd took to her right away. And if you know anything about German shepherds, they are very fickle and don't connect with just anybody. I highly recommend Faith to stay at your home or whatever your need is with your puppies.”
7. Sydney B.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!”
8. Stephanie M.
“I would give 7 out of 5 stars if I could. I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with their service and care!!! They took wonderful care of our two (very different) dogs and cat, sending photo updates to us nearly every day. Would recommend every time!”
9. Faith P.
“Faith was a fantastic sitter for Odin. I was out for a biz trip and she took care of Odin without any issues. Went on daily walks with him and gave him his medicine. Would highly recommend Faith to any dog parent who needs an overnight sitter. Thank you Faith!”
10. Hannah B.
“Hannah took great care of our dog Otto while we were away. She was always responsive and sent us photos. She even took Otto to the beach for a walk- his favorite place! Thank you to Hannah! She is a great dog and house sitter.”
11. Nicole B.
“Nicole took great care of my spoiled little boy! She took him on several beach outings and sent me pictures of him. She collected my mail while I was away and left my house spotless! I would highly recommend Nicole if you need a caring and responsible sitter for your furbaby.”
12. Lori S.
“Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.”
13. Victoria B.
“Our dog is older and we hardly ever leave him home with a sitter. After being gone for a week, we arrived home to a happy dog who clearly had been well loved and taken care of while we were away. Victoria was great at communicating with us and I highly recommend her.”
14. Elizabeth Y.
“Liz (& Charlie) did a great job with Nellie, our 5.5 month old mini goldendoodle. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks before, which was super helpful. They handled energetic Nellie with a full house (2 toddlers, 1 other dog, and a babysitter) and got her to sleep happily :). Will definitely look forward to another play date!”
15. Kaden F.
“Kaden is very responsive and has taken good care of our two dogs and house twice. We feel very at ease when he is with our pets communicated well with us and left our house in excellent shape.”
16. Brooklynn M.
“Brooklynn did an awesome job watching our dog Sadie for the night. We reached out to her with fairly short notice and she was very accommodating in setting up a meet and greet beforehand. She was great with communication, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pics.”
17. Javon C.
“Our pup Dean was in wonderful hands with Javon! She came over for a meet and greet, clearly knew how to approach new dogs, and took excellent care with photos and messages throughout our trip. Finding the right fit for Dean has been tough with his separation anxiety and various quirks but we’re very happy to have found such a good fit for future trips. Could t recommend Javon enough!”
18. Emma W.
“Emma was wonderful, receptive, and sent plenty of updates!! She played with our pups, loved on them, and even let them sleep with her while we were away. She’s completely trust-worthy, responsible, and left our home spotless. We will definitely be using Emma again 😊”
19. Kayla S.
“We would absolutely book Kayla again! She was incredibly communicative throughout, and from the photos she sent, it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable with her—his wagging tail said it all. Since he's not typically used to being around others, we were thrilled with how well he settled in. Kayla was also very accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Kayla!”
20. Emily H.
“Emily was awesome & took great care of my doggos while I was away! She went above and beyond!!”
