Michael did a great job taking care of our dog Scout and staying at our home while we were away. He took excellent care of our pup, he was very responsive, and he kept us updated throughout his stay which gave us peace of mind. He also sent pictures of Scout who looked happy as can be. The house was in great shape when we returned. I highly recommend Michael and we will definitely look into having him stay again in the future.

Beth is so great with my 2 dogs. She sends pictures and tells me how their day is going. She also communicates any problems that arise. Beth is very easy to work with and follows all the instructions for the care of the house and pets. I really appreciate the way she takes care of everything!

Gabi did awesome with our Rory! She is a 4 month old lab mix that can be quite the handful. Gabi stayed over at our house for 4 days and was able to handle her great :)

Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.

Kevin was wonderful. We could not have been more confident in his ability to care for our pup during our trip. He asked all the right questions and truly paid attention to detail. During the stay, he sent plenty of updates and pictures which made us so happy to see! He was prompt, professional, and friendly! Our normally nervous pup warmed up to him almost immediately which just shows how lovely he is. Ollie loved him! He drew us a custom picture of Ollie and it truly is the coolest thing ever. We’ll be hanging it up! If you’re looking for a sitter who is attentive and will love on your animals the way you would, Kevin is your guy! Thank you Kevin for taking great care of Ollie!

Marissa watched over Benny, our elderly greyhound while we were away and we're very happy with her. Communication was very good, Benny got his meds on time (super important!) and we got good pics which is always a plus. We'll definitely have her back next time we need a sitter.

Scott took great care of our cat & dog while staying at our home. We reached out to him only six days prior to our trip after our original caretaking plan for the animals fell through. He also made time to come meet us and the pets a few days prior. Much appreciated!

Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.

Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!

I was extremely skeptical about trying it Rover, as we have two great Danes that not everybody could handle. However, circumstances forced us to get sitters, and I couldn’t be happier with how things worked out. Denis and Nikki more responsive, reliable, and provided a great stay for our pets. They took careful notes of all of the care instructions, and were fantastic with updates while we were away. We will absolutely use them again and cannot recommend them enough.

Jennifer watched our 7 month old wheaten terrier while we were on vacation. He is a sweetie but can be a real handful and she had so much patience and compassion for him. We are so grateful we were able to leave him with someone we trusted and could relax on our vacation!

Marissa was AMAZING. She stayed at our house with our anxious dog Nicko for a week. Every single day he went on a loooooong walk, or to the park, or both! And that was even when she was a bit under the weather. I’m pretty sure our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. Her communication was consistent, lovely, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She will definitely be our go to girl moving forward.

Lamar was an amazing pet expert and friend to Mango. He suggested a pre meet and greet which was so thoughtful and helpful. The meet and greet allowed Mango to get to know him in advance with no threat of us leaving. She literally took to him from the minute he arrived and it really never changed. His enthusiasm and expertise are apparent immediately as are his strong desire to understand the pet and the owners objectives. We are looking forward to many more playdates with Lamar and Mango!
