“Our dogs did well with Robin. Given that they were not used to having people in their house they seemed to really like her and accept her as family. She did a great job communicating and our house was well taken care of and clean when we returned. We also really appreciate Robin's thoughtfulness and adaptability given we had to book her fairly close to our departure. Thank you Robin for taking care of our home and our boys!”
“My puppies had a wonderful time with Theo, and I received daily updates and pictures. They were comfortable, had lots of fun, and got lots of cuddles. She is able to handle their rambunctiousness with care and understanding. Highly recommend, great communication, easy to work with. I will definitely be asking for Theo again! I think she is the perfect dog sitter!”
“Brett was great at following directions, asking questions and sending updates, and tending to our enthusiastic pup! He was very flexible and thorough in the random “extra” asks we had when housesitting. Definitely recommend.”
“Becky did great with our highly reactive/protective Decker Rat Terriers. I was super anxious that all Cooper would do is freak out and bark at her for the entire four days we were gone and she was house sitting for us. He was all calmed down in a couple hours and was totally normal and sleeping with his head in her lap by the end of the first day. House was clean and she brought my very heavy UPS delivery up to the house, which I didn't expect at all. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha took excellent care of my kitty and my home! She even came out early to meet Skittles and learn about his care routine. She's definitely very trustworthy and a pleasure to work with! Skittles and I would definitely love to have her back again next time needed.”
“Amazing! Kind, responsible, responsive, attentive...Madison made every effort to make sure leaving my dogs and my home in her care for 8 days was without any stress. She came to my home 4 times in advance before my trip to meet me, my dogs and give me the peace of mind I needed to leave and relax knowing I had a trustworthy caregiver there to manage my husky and lab. Hands down, the best person to be in your home with your pets. She's remarkable. The pictures and daily check ins were so great. I wish I could give her ten stars!!!!”
“Mandy is was amazing with our dogs! She provides daily updates with photos. She provides exceptional care to our boys even making a trip to the vet! We can’t say enough good words about Mandy and would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“I cannot recommend Vanesa enough. She made us feel so comfortable when we have an anxious dog who’s never been watched by someone she doesn’t know before. And she was amazing at sending updates and pictures of our babies. I’m just so grateful to have had such a pleasant experience thanks to her!”
“Missy is wonderful! I was so anxious about leaving my baby for the first time but I was almost immediately put at ease during the first introduction. Missy is a great communicator. She sent texts/pictures daily and was quickly responsive to my texts. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing she was there. My dog was happy, healthy, and loved. The house was perfect and clean. Missy cared for the house, she cared for the dog, and I HIGHLY recommend her for any dogsitting/housesitting job. Thanks again Missy!”
“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”

“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”

“Perfect experience. We will hire Kimberly again in a heartbeat. Great communication, very professional and wonderful with our dogs. Thank you!”
