Mitchell took incredible care of our cat and pup (who has high anxiety and weighs over 70 lbs.) and we couldn't be more grateful. We'll definitely be asking him to take care of our boys again.

Crispin was more than we could have hoped for to stay with our two golden retrievers while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She gave frequent updates with lots of photos and left the house very clean. She was proactive about taking in cushions and closing umbrellas before it started raining. When we got home the boys were thrilled to see us but also seemed calm and content with no signs of stress from being left home without us. Crispin took detailed notes to ensure that she was caring, feeding and walking the dogs according to their schedule. She’s a kind person and very trustworthy.

I cannot recommend Camryn highly enough for anyone seeking a trustworthy, responsible, and loving pet sitter. Recently, Camryn took exceptional care of my two dogs, Pow and Bang, while I was away for ten days. Pow, our twelve-year-old Shepard mix, is a senior dog who needs special attention. Bang, our eleven-year-old St. Bernard, is a gentle giant who gets stressed when we're away, so she needs a calm and patient sitter who can cuddle her as well as get some of her energy out. Camryn handled both dogs with expertise and affection. Camryn followed my detailed instructions to the letter, ensuring that Pow and Bang received their meals, breaks, and plenty of playtime. She took Bang on long walks, keeping her well-exercised and entertained. For Pow, she provided gentle cuddles and soothing companionship, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Beyond caring for my furry companions, Camryn also maintained my home impeccably. She kept the kitchen spotless, made sure the laundry was done, and ensured the entire house was clean and tidy upon my return. Throughout my absence, Camryn kept me updated with regular photos and messages, providing peace of mind and reassurance that my pets and home were in good hands. Her communication was prompt, clear, and always filled with genuine care for Pow and Bang. I was particularly impressed with Camryn's ability to handle both a senior dog and a more-active dog with equal ease. She understood the different needs of each dog and provided the appropriate care and attention. This demonstrates her deep understanding of dog behavior and her ability to adapt to different personalities. Camryn is a true dog whisperer and a remarkable housekeeper. She is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely care for the animals and homes she looks after. I highly recommend Camryn to anyone seeking exceptional pet and house sitting services. Your pets and home will be in the best possible hands.

Soraya is the best -- there is nobody I would trust more with my home, dog, or even child. She worked as a nanny for my daughter for many years and has house/dog-sat for me many times. She's always active so you can bet your dog will go for long, fun walks or play on the beach with her or go on a hike with her if you want, and she's an amazing photographer so your dog photo updates will be pretty amazing as well! I can not recommend her highly enough, you and your pets will love her!

Daniel helped me out in a difficult situation: with short notice, I needed someone who could take care of a puppy just out of a major surgery. Daniel took amazing care of my pup -- the little guy owes his life to Daniel! It was not at all expected under the circumstances, but Daniel also took great care of the house as well. I can't recommend Daniel strongly enough

Aaron has always been wonderful with our two dogs. We've been able to trust him to go in and out of our house while my wife and I are away for work. On a recent vacation, Aaron volunteered to also watch over our houseplants and put out the bins. Going away for the day, week, or month has been much more stress-free knowing that our pets and house are in the hands of somebody who communicates well and is very trustworthy.

Hannah spent 10 days at our home caring for our two cats. She was easy to coordinate with and communicated with us promptly, both before and during our trip. It was nice to receive pictures of our fur babies while we were away and know that they had company and were doing well. We returned to a tidy home and two happy cats. We would not hesitate to recommend Hannah to others or to use her services again.

Madeline is incredible! She watched my golden doodle all summer after a ligament tear and did dressing changes, took him to therapy and walked him the prescribed amount. Keeping it dry when it was raining. He absolutely loves her! She is reliable and kind. You seriously could not ask for a better pet sitter.

Leo was great with our 12 year old Pitbull, Stewart, while we were out of town for a few days. He came by beforehand to get acquainted, and was very respectful of Stewart's need for slower introductions and limited eye contact. We were sent regular updates and pictures of our sweet pup having a good time without us. Coming home to a calm, secure dog, and a clean house was a huge relief. We'd recommend Leo to anyone, and would certainly pick him again for our Rover sitter.

Karen loved my dog so much, and I know my pup had the same feeling based on their snuggle photos and all the happy messages I got from her. Hands down recommend Karen. Don’t think twice. She is lovely and that shows in the way she cared for my boy. She was active just as my dog needed and took him running at the beach and bluffs. I could not have felt more at ease knowing that he was under her loving care.
