6. Megan M.
“Megan is a reliable, all-animal-loving dog sitter and a lovely person. Having her take my boy for walks while I worked long shifts put me at such ease. We are from out of town and here for the month for work- she told me about the area and gave me tips. She gave thorough updates, lots of pics of my boy, and answered any questions I had about his day. If I were staying in the area, I’d continue to book her every day!”

“Daleen is great!! Super sweet to my animals!!!”
8. Samantha C.
“Samantha was AMAZING!!! She gave our dogs love and even took them for a long walk while we were gone for the day. We came home to two happy dogs and could not be more thrilled! Will 100% be booking her again :)”

10. alexis w.
“Alexis is the best, truly! I have 6 dogs currently and have never trusted anyone to watch them overnight.. until I met and got to know alexis. She will truly love your animals like they’re her own. She dealt with my anxious dog, my misbehaved teenager of a dog who eats everything, and my hyper bird dog who has no brain cells and never complains. In fact, she asks to see them even when she’s not being paid to watch them lol 100% couldnt recommend a sweeter more genuine person to care for your pets. As a bonus- she’s an amazing groomer as well and has the patience of a saint. I’ve never seen a girl get bit so many times and just move on like nothing happened🤣”
11. Dave W.
“I’m sure Noah was happy to see you!”
12. Abby K.
“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”
13. Isaac W.
“Isaac is an excellent pet caregiver- especially with our special needs dog! He pays great attention to our two Frenchie's and they always love when he comes to visit. Isaac is very responsible and attentive to our dog's needs. Our one dog requires medication multiple times a day as well as regular cleaning of his ears and tail. When I return from trips, it is like I was home and caring for my dogs rather than a caregiver. I cannot say enough good things about Isaac's pet care and I trust him fully with my two French bulldogs.”
14. Lillian W.
“Lilly cared for Buca in every way I asked. She made sure I had photos of Buca walking and eating her dinner which I appreciate. I appreciate her attention and care.”
15. Pat S.
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”
16. Nathan K.
“Always does a great job”
17. Rebecca R.
“I was nervous to have someone else handle my ~90lb pup that gets really excited to see humans and likes to jump up and kiss their face. He also pulls the leash if he sees other dogs/large trucks. We had Rebecca over for a meet and greet, and went over his commands/routine. Rebecca was a gem and a champ handling him. I was able to go out of town without worry and she sent pic updates which were really sweet. I'm excited to go out of town again at some point just to have her over so my dog can visit with her! Thank you Rebecca!”
18. Morgan F.
“Morgan was available on short notice and made adjustments as my schedule changed leading up to the booking. During my time out of town, it was a huge relief seeing pictures and details of what was happening at home. Morgan went above and beyond while she was taking care of my furbabies to ensure they had everything they needed, even turning on my heat when the temps dropped and checking on my turtle to ensure he was safe too! My pups are old and can need a little patience and alot of love...knowing Morgan was there gave me all the peace I needed to be able to focus on my trip. Thanks so much Morgan!!!!”
19. Shannon & Terrence E.
“I felt very comfortable leaving Smudge in their care. You could tell they bonded with her and provided excellent care while we were away. I would not hesitate to rebook. Thank you so much!!!”
20. Sarah M.
“Sarah was great! She made it so easy and worry free for us to go away for the weekend and leave our two kitties at home with someone trustworthy and kind to animals. She was on time and sent cute pics to keep us in the loop. I also appreciate that we were able to book her at the last minute! We will be booking her again!”
