“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”


“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Our first experience w/Rover: I chose Brigit after reading her numerous reviews; knew at our first meet & greet that I was lucky to find such an incredible young women w/the medical skill’s & compassion for a geriatric 10 yr young puppy I inherited from my only cousin, upon her passing. Brigit has also been an excellent teacher to a retired teacher who is a willing, lifelong learner. Proving any old dog: whether 2 legged, or 4 🐾 🐾 > can learn new ‘tricks’; taught skillfully! Hopefully, Brigit gives us more chances to improve our ‘score’ each time, when she is available to watch both our home & Maggie Rita 1️⃣ very contented pup❣️”


“Rachel was a great sitter. Sent me tons of photos and took Sam all over the city to different parks. You could tell from the photos that Sam was having the time of his life. Will definitely book her again!”

“Rachel did a great job house and pet sitting. She made sure our pets needs were met perfectly, and actually spent real time being with them. She took great care of our house too, and kept us up to date with things while we were gone. Highly recommended to anyone who needs these services.”


“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”


“Jace was fantastic! My Aussie immediately loved her.. so appreciated all the pics of the walks and play and snuggles. Felt completely comfortable with Jace in our house, you couldn’t even tell she was there! Definitely will rebook!”


“Hossanna is awesome. She communicates often and responds quickly. She truly loves animals and I never worried for a moment while I was away. She is fantastic and I will work with her anytime.”


“Geneva was super communicative, considerate, and attentive to the needs of my dog Zelee! I appreciated how much thought and care she put into her stay with Zelee. I would absolutely recommend her services and would trust her to watch Zelee again.”


“Regi is so wonderful!!! It was my first time leaving Fred with a non-family member and she made it so easy!! She’s communicative, flexible and loves my sweet Fred. I already have her coming back next week!!! Thank you, Regi!!!”


“We are so happy to have met Melanie! The pack loves her and appreciate her care and love. We can’t wait to see her again - when the humans go on their next adventure.”


“Sheri did an excellent job taking care of our pets and home while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. From the beginning I appreciated her promptness and reliability when we scheduled talks or meetings. She was also very patient with me when I reviewed all the many details prior to our trip, as I was nervous we’d be leaving our home to a new pet sitter while we’d be so far away and in a much different time zone. I shouldn’t have worried- she handled it all like the pro that she is! Communication was excellent- she’d update me about our dog Moto and their walks but did not overly text. She asked questions when needed. She dealt with some less-than-ideal situations due to our home being in the mountains (wind and fire risks) but handled it all with grace! Most importantly she took great care of our dog, giving him his daily meds, walking him often and plenty, and occasionally taking him to doggie daycare instead of leaving him alone in the house (like we had requested.). She also took excellent care of the guinea pigs and turtles. She left our home clean which we greatly appreciated. Sheri is a truly considerate individual who we were so grateful to find and be able to trust with our home and pets. I won’t hesitate to use Sheri again and hope she can sit for us whenever we are out of town.”


“I’m so much more likely to say yes when friends want to take a weekend trip because I know I can call 🐾Toli and she will make sure my kitties are well taken care of and loved while I’m away.”


“Lauren took care of our elderly dog who was unable to travel with us this weekend. I could not have been more happy with the communication she gave us throughout the weekend or the care she gave Gnarls while she stayed at our house. When we got home he was as happy and comfortable as if we had never left! I’m so happy to have found her and look forward to having her stay with Gnarls again! Highly recommend”



“Vincent cared for our two dogs and was OUTSTANDING. He was extremely professional, prompt, courteous and reliable. My dogs were very well cared for and cannot thank him enough. We will most definitely look to use his services again.”


“Danielle did an amazing job, we are so grateful for her watching Cookie and Molly. We were especially grateful for the fact that she confirmed the job, was reliable, and that she sent lots of pictures and updates (which was really nice for an anxious pet mama). She also checked in with us before leaving and washed the sheets. We would definitely book with her again.”


About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“Rhiannon is a wonderful caretaker and human. She communicates clearly, is patient, compassionate, and follows through. It was clear that my dog felt loved, comfortable, and well cared for, and her timely updates gave me peace of mind (he is a senior dog). Thank you, Rhiannon - Raj surely hopes to see you again!”
