“Leesa was amazing. She was so attentive to our 5 furbabies while we attended a wedding. She sent video and pictures which kept us content while being away from them for so long. She is awesome!”
“Emma was fantastic house sitting Nacho. She gave plenty of updates and sent pictures. I could tell Nacho was well taken care of and look forward to booking with Emma again in the future”
“Monroe was INCREDIBLE. This was my first time ever leaving our animals with a pet sitter and so I was very anxious, but Monroe helped calmed my nerves. She was very responsive to messages, sent tons of pictures of the animals daily, and took great care of them. All my animals loved her! I came home to a clean house and our mail brought in, which we didn't even ask her to do. We will definitely use Monroe to watch our animals again!”
“Katharine was a wonderful sitter for our week away. Rocko seemed very loved in our absence and the house was left in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her services again!”

“AMAZING!!! Isabella went above and beyond! She took amazing care of our pup and our home. The house was better than the way I left it! She was amazing at communication while we were gone. Our anxious pup loved her! She did a great job at letting our pup warm up to her on her time and they were best friends quickly. I’d love to gatekeep Isabella because she is just that good!”
“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog.

Erin is an exceptional dog sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She takes wonderful care of my dog, Roxie, and always treats her as if she were her own. Erin keeps Roxie on her normal schedule, takes her on several walks each day, and makes sure all of her needs are met. It's such a comfort knowing Roxie is in caring, capable hands whenever I'm away. Erin is dependable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Roxie is always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when she's with Erin. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provides. If you're looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter, Erin is the best!
Emma always takes amazing care of our girl! She sends pictures while we are gone for a week and even sends pictures when she just comes to walk her during the middle of the day while we are at work. She even did a little art project with Piper to give to us as a gift for engagement. We moved to Dayton a year ago and Emma is the best thing that has happened to us since then! Piper always seems in the best spirits when we get home and we know she is well loved while we are gone. We are so lucky to know Emma and always leave home knowing our dog is in the BEST hands.
She was a phenomenal sitter! She kept us updated all day letting us know what was going on with our puppy. She was very understanding of all her needs. Watching a 14 week old puppy is not always easy! She was amazing and the communication was perfect. She is extremely warm, caring and trustworthy. Would definitely trust her with my pups!!!
Marin was so sweet, polite, and great with our 2 pups! She provided daily updates and photos which greatly eased my anxiety while away! She was responsive, adaptable and a true help. She stayed in our home and took great care of that, too! I would highly recommend Marin :)
Janice stayed at our house for a weekend taking care of our 16 year old miniature poodle Toby. She was very attentive to his needs and kept us abreast of any changes. She sent us pictures of Toby throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Janice to other pet owners and hope to use her again in the future.
Danielle was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy while we were gone. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by being available for an extra day at the last minute and also by administering ear infection medication for our dog. She was very good about giving us updates and our house somehow looked better after she had stayed here. We plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs and walks. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to watch our pets. Thanks again, Danielle!
She is PHENOMENAL!!! I had her stay at my house for a week. I have 4 dogs and they were very taken care of. The house was left very clean too! She sent pics and updates daily and was very attentive and communicative. I will continue to hire her for all of our dog sitting request. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more from her.. we love her!
What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!
Molly was great with Jersey! This is my first time using this app and I was worried about leaving Jersey behind. Molly did a great job communicating and sending pictures and updates. I felt at ease and was able to enjoy my time away. I will use Molly for any future needs!! Thanks again :)
