“India was fabulous with our dog and two cats!! She communicated daily and sent pictures! She walked our dog each day and cuddled with all of our sweet fur babies! We can’t wait to use her again! 🥰”
“Brandi was excellent. I would re-book her without hesitation. She is meticulous, respectful, has great communication skills. She left our house spotless after 2 week vacation. She cared for our pups like they were her own!”
“Chloe was fantastic! The communication was great and consistent. My girls looked so happy and comfortable in the photos. Their care was followed exactly as asked. Looking forward to booking with Chloe again!”
“Sophie & Jacob were AMAZING! Our little Yeti warmed up to them immediately! We felt SO secure knowing they were with her and she was in good hands! Yeti even needed to say goodbye before they could leave. Would 100% rebook with them and recommend them!!!!!!!”
“Aniston is an outstanding sitter! She treats your pet as if it were her own, and is a very good communicator. She sends frequent photos and updates, and you can tell my sweet Knox had a great time from the photos. Would book again! 10/10”
“Rachel watched our spunky 1.5 yo golden retriever while we were on an extended vacation recently. Her many photo updates made us smile. It was so nice to see our Luna girl happy and comfy with Rachel and all the outdoor & snuggle time they spent together. Rachel was an amazing communicator, left the house in great condition (mentioning she’d take out the trash and run the dishwasher) and even dropped a time-sensitive package for me at UPS that I couldn’t get to do before the trip. She truly went above and beyond. You can certainly trust her with any of your pets & your home. Thanks, Rachel! We can’t wait to have you stay with Luna again soon.”
“Liz was excellent! We needed a sitter for four nights at short notice for our two dogs and Liz was very accommodating and easy to work with. Our boys are both herding breed mixes and can be a little challenging, but Liz was game, and handled everything well. One of our dogs developed a health issue and Liz was on top of it, sending pictures, researching causes and offering to take him to the vet. When we got home, both dogs were very calm and happy. And she left our house better than we left it! We would definitely recommend Liz and look forward to working with her again.”
“Laura has been the best house/dog sitter we have ever had. She went beyond her dog sitting duties in every way. She left our home spotless, took Goose to the vet, sent daily updates and photos and looked after our home as if it was her own. I can’t recommend her enough and if needed we would have her back in an instant.”
“Jasmine was a tremendous house sitter while I was away for the weekend- She consistently provided pictures and updates and was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie took care of our three dogs during a vacation that was longer than we normally take. She took great care of our three dogs and our house. I could tell from our communication that she really got to know our dogs and that she truly cares for them. She uses good judgment and I feel confident that she can handle anything that comes up in our absence. I will definitely use her again and recommend her highly! Thanks, Leslie!!”
“This was our first time booking Megan and hope to book her again in the future. From the first meeting, she was a professional and made sure she knew the ins and outs of Stella's routine. Megan showed she really cared about our dog's wellbeing. Megan housesit for a week and we got regular updates on how Stella was doing accompanied with videos and pictures. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. I would highly recommend Megan to take care of your pup.”
