“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”
“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“Chioma was great- my dog can be a little wary of new people but Chioma was very patient and sent a lot of nice photos during her stay and took him on nice walks (in the heat!). My cat is also not the most friendly but Chioma charmed him, too. Thank you!!”
“Emily was an outstanding pet sitter. Caring, thoughtful, making sure my cat had all the play time she needed, communicative, and extra respectful and trustworthy! I’m so grateful for her time and attentiveness, and I’ll definitely book her again and again to look after my pets 💞”
“Jenna did a wonderful job with our somewhat anxious pup. This was our dog’s first time with a dog sitter since his older brother crossed the rainbow bridge, and Jenna was great with handling him and his needs. She reached out to us regularly, let us know when there was a challenging situation, and clearly kept our dog’s needs first and foremost. We’ve already booked another time for Jenna to take care of our pup!”
“Sergio stayed with our two big dogs over a very hot 4th of July weekend. I think it was more challenging than usual because of the heat and fireworks, but Sergio seemed to handle it very well, and the dogs and house were in good shape on our return. He sent us a few pictures along the way. Sergio seems great with dogs, is a very personable guy, trustworthy, and responsible. I'd book him again!”
“My dog is old and he’s pretty high maintenance. He needs medicine three times a day, and his appetite isn’t much these days. Haley was able to administer his medication and get him to eat, and I certainly appreciated all her efforts. I provided the instructions and she followed them very well. I came back to a very relaxed dog.”
“Gretchen was wonderful in every way! She communicated with us throughout the stay, left our house perfectly clean, but most of all we know she cared for our dog so well! This was our first stay with Gretchen and we’d have her back every time we need help. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Lacie arrived at my house just as the vet was calling me with bad news. She is kind, empathetic, and cares deeply about the pets she spends time with.”
“Kristina took excellent care of our two dogs! She gave them more love than they get on a regular day with us, and she sent daily video updates to reassure me that all was going well. We will definitely be asking her to help us in the future.”
“Bonnie did a great job taking care of our cat and dog and also our house! It’s so nice to come home with happy pets and a clean house after some time away. We’ll definitely work with Bonnie again!”
“Olive is very gentle and caring. Our fur babies gravitated to her instantly. She cared for our menagerie for a week. They and our house were in perfect order upon our return. She sent us updates and photos on a fairly regular basis. She was responsive and responsible. We recommend her and will use her again.”
“Mandy did a great job taking care of Kane! She stayed with him for five days, including overnights, and kept us updated daily with pictures. He was clearly well cared for and comfortable. We'd definitely book with her again!”
“Percy was the perfect sitter for our dog, Tilly! They were very easy to communicate with, professional at every turn, and provided all the love and affection our dog needed while we were out for the Holiday. They also took excellent care of our home and had the home looking better than when we left it. I would recommend Percy highly to anyone who needs a dog/house sitter; they absolutely rocked!!!”
“Rae did a fantastic job caring for our two kittens over the long weekend. She was prompt, kept in communications, and followed instructions. Our kittens loved having her around. We will definitely be using Rae for our next trip.”
