1. Alyssa L.


“Alyssa was wonderful with our fussy crew of cats (which include kittens, seniors who need meds administered, and a foster cat that has to be kept separate from the others. She was very communicative and attentive, and she took great care of them while we were gone. We will definitely book with her again!”

5. Daisy K.
“Daisy is a kind and thoughtful person who will fall in love with your pets as soon as she sees them. She house sat for my 1 year old mid-sized bernedoodle, Zeke, and he enjoyed a weekend of lots of playing, outside time, and a lot of cuddles. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Daisy look after him again.”

8. Maura J.
“I have known Maura for a long time and she is such a kind and giving person. She is extremely responsible and smart! She has her own dog at home that she takes great care of, but while she was in graduate school with me she helped me and my parents with our dogs as well as some other family friends! She was always willing to help out and did a great job, she genuinely loves animals and missed her own being away from home so she was always so excited to take care of ours! She follows directions well and understands the needs of precious fur babies! I would definitely recommend Maura as a caregiver to your pets.”


9. Clare T.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Clare as an in-home dog sitter, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Clare is a true dog lover who is dedicated to providing the best care possible. Leaving my dogs at home while I was away was a nerve-wracking thought, but Clare put all my worries to rest. She took the time to get to know Oscar and Alli's routine, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a seamless transition while I was gone. Throughout the duration of her stay, I received regular updates, including photos of the dogs enjoying playtime and cuddles. It was clear that Clare was not just providing basic care but truly engaging with and loving my dogs. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and the genuine care Clare showed. She kept the house tidy, followed all instructions meticulously, and even took the initiative to handle unexpected situations with calm and professionalism. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a spotless home. Clare exceeded all my expectations and provided an invaluable service that allowed me to travel with peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Clare to anyone in need of an in-home dog sitter. She are reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you, Clare, for your outstanding care and dedication. We can't wait to have you back!”


10. Terri I.
“Every time Terri would say to a pet parent walking their dog, "I like your dog", the dog would immediately come over to her (pulling the walker with them). That is why we call her the dog whisperer. She is able to befriend any dog. Even one who bit all the other guests at a party. She has pet sat for multiple people and has never had any bad reviews.”


11. Hadlie D.

“Hadlie did a great job watching our two cats. She was very communicative the entire time she was caring for them and very professional. Hadlie also went above and beyond helping to water our Christmas tree and shovel part of the drive while we were away. We are so appreciative of her willingness to help in all these ways! Highly recommend!”


12. Alexis a.

“Alexis did a great job taking care of our cats. She was communicative, friendly, and completed the dop-in visits in a timely and thorough manner. We are happy to have found Alexis and will be repeat customers!”


13. Judy E.
“I have known Judy for more than 2 years. She is an excellent pet owner of two family dogs named Kia and Ollie. These dogs are healthy and happy. She always makes sure the pets have everything the need such as bedding, the right kind of food, winter jackets for the Michigan winter, Vet care and lots of love I would strongly recommend Judy for any kind of animal care.”


14. Brianna B.

“Brianna visited and played with Fergus and took care of feeding him. He was happy to have the company and we were pleased with the consistent service.”


15. Paige C.


“Paige was an absolute lifesaver, coming over at the last minute to fill in for a sitter who didn't show up. Thank you, Paige, for feeding our boy, giving him dinner & his meds, all with just 5 minutes notice!!!”


16. Mary C.

“Mary was excellent! She did an amazing job sending updates and taking care of our kitty while we were away. Her attention to detail was wonderful and made me feel at ease because our cat was in good hands. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter and would book her again.”


17. Kylie R.
“I highly recommend Kylie as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Not only is she compassionate and caring to pet owners, but she is also very loving and attentive to our furry friends. She has a genuine passion for animals and takes the time to understand each pet's unique needs. Due to my pet still being a puppy, I am always hesitant to leave him alone, however Kylie ensures that his training schedules remain consistent. My pets always seem relaxed and happy when they are in her care. She is trustworthy, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved.”


18. Jackson C.
“Full disclosure that Jackson is my son, that said, he is also a great pet sitter! I have a very busy schedule, sometimes needing him to help out last minute and he always steps up and takes care of our greyhound and two kitties. They all adore him and get excited when they see him and he is always happy to snuggle up with them and give them love.”


19. Lucy Y.
“Dear "Rover", I have known Lucy since the day she was born. She is an extremely cheerful, positive and trustworthy young lady. Growing up a small farm next door to us, I have watched her grow and develop a love for pets and livestock. A few weeks ago, over two dozen of my sheep escaped. It was quite early in the morning; she managed not only to get them all back in but provided me with a video as a record of the event. Also, when my wife and I travel, Lucy takes care of our dog and flock. I would recommend her most highly.”


20. Maia E.

“Maia took excellent care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation! I really appreciated the updates and pictures they sent each day so we could see that the boys were happy and healthy while we were away. I would highly recommend Maia to anyone looking for cat care!”
