1. Diamond W.
“Would book again! Excellent communication. Extremely tidy, left the house in tip top shape which was such a pleasure to come home to after the trip. Dogs were well cared for. We have an older pup that needs a little extra attention and she was in good spirits when we got home.”
2. Devan D.
“It was the first time Devan stayed with our pup and all was great! Communication, care for the dog, etc. He's coming back in two weeks and again after that.”
3. Kira M.
“Kira is a wonderful sitter for our special needs lab and our senior kitty. She enjoys our babies and we feel reassured when she's with them. She's very calm and dependable!”
4. Maya N.
“Maya did a wonderful job housesitting for my two small dogs. She kept me updated on their schedule and their well-being and I would definitely book Maya again.”
5. Journee J.
“Journee took excellent care of our kitties! She truly is a cat lover. She left our house super clean and we came home to happy and healthy kitties. Our 10 day trip was much stressfree because of her. Will definitely use her again.”
6. Abigail M.
“Abigail took great care of my dog when I was out of town! I came back to a well cared for pup & home, and got updates/pictures when Abigail was watching Biscuit!”
7. Stacy C.
“Stacy was FANTASTIC! She was super communicative for the duration of the stay and sent frequent photos and videos of our pups. They both have separation anxiety, so she made sure they received lots of attention and weren't left alone for much of the time. She also left the house super clean: bed was made, trash and recycling were emptied, dishes were washed, dishwasher was ran, and the laundry we had in the washing machine when we left for vacation was dried and folded nicely in a basket. On top of all of that, Stacy is FUNNY, which is an added bonus. She also walked our doggies frequently, as promised, which is an issue we've had with past sitters. Most importantly, when we returned home, the dogs were happy and healthy! Thank you again!”
8. Candis B.
“Candis did a great job watching zoey this weekend! I feel very comfortable with her and we returned to a very clean house and happy dog. We will use her again! Thanks Candis!”
9. Jeni C.
“Jeni was great—she kept me posted about how my pup was doing, took her on hikes, and was just generally warm with her. She also took great care of our house, which I was really appreciative of. We would definitely use her again!”
10. Lauren T.
“Lauren is amazing with my dog Luna and was so flexible when I had to change plans. Have re-booked many times because Luna just loves her and I know she’s in good hands with Lauren!”
11. Katelyn Z.
“Absolutely one of the best sitters I have had. I so appreciated all of the updates and the photos. I am really particular and she followed all of my specifications. Booking again!”
12. Rosemary Z.
“Second time booking with Rosemary and everything was just perfect again. Both my pups are happy and healthy when I get back. Rosemary is so responsive and accommodating for them that I don't worry about anything during my trip!”
13. Bliss C.
“One of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Very attentive and an over communicator which is a huge plus for me because I’m worrier. Extremely reliable and consistent! Amazing job.”
14. Andrea V.
“Wow! Andrea is so professional, organized, and an incredible communicator! She took such great care of Bubs and sent some many pics and updates, which we LOVE! I never felt like I needed to check in or ask for updates, and I was able to relax and enjoy vacation instead of feeling anxious if my dog being well taken care of. She was able to get him to eat and take his meds, as he can be picky since we spoil him so much! She took great care of our home as well, and even offered to water and care for our plants while we were away. She was 11/10 would absolutely recommend!!!!”
15. Ansley U.
“Ansley took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and went above and beyond in caring for our beasties -- one of them managed to injure himself the day before we left and Ansley stepped in with no hesitation. She kept all his bandages and sutures clean and administered antibiotics and pain pills with no problem. I HIGHLY recommend Ansley to care for your animals (and house!) next time you need to go away.”
16. Isabel F.
“Isabela is the best! She’s taken care of my young cat and older dog and handles both beautifully!”
17. Philip W.
“Philip took great care of Duke! I got regular updates and he followed all of the directions with care, will definitely have him watch my dog again”
18. Brooke S.
“Brooke was amazing! She made time for a meet and greet since it was our first time booking with her and sent photos/updates of our pup while we were away!!”
19. Chayse B.
“Chayse did an exceptional job watching my Shih Tzu while I was away. She is professional, kind, and excellent with dogs. Will be hiring her again to watch my dog.”
20. Nate T.
“We felt really comfortable leaving Batty with Nate, and our dog seemed very comfortable and relaxed when we got back.”
