“Shykala did an amazing job with our dogs! She kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone, and I could tell the boys were having a great time while we were gone! We would definitely book Shykala again.”

“Mary was wonderful staying at my home with my dog Maple. She checked in with pictures and updates and handled some anxiety and accidents Maple had really well. Would definitely recommend Mary!”

“Leaving our energetic standard poodle with Jessica felt like we were leaving him with a close friend. We were away for two weeks and we didn’t worried about him once. Jessica kept in touch just the right amount and from her texts and photos we could see that Charley was get plenty of exercise and love and he likes a lot of both. We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.”

“Nyree was an amazing sitter for my little guy! She made me and my pup feel so comfortable and confident about the stay. I was gone for a week in Europe and Nyree sent me daily videos and pictures. Not only was my dog happy and healthy when I got home but she left the condo immaculate! Definitely will be using Nyree again - she’s a 12/10!!!”

“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”

“I hesitate to get the word out about the Phenomenal Laura! I would rather keep this secret to myself. Laura was very personable and it was obvious she was a superb pet care taker. I have her booked already for our next trip. She is one of the bet we have had!!”

“Margaret did such a great job helping our dog feel happy and safe at home while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent update photos and videos, and we came home to a clean yard and happy pup!”

“Everything went very well. Laura was very good about communicating before and during the stay, and gave lots of updates while I was gone. She took the dog for runs which I don't do, but he seemed to enjoy (he has lots of energy) and provided play. The dog was relaxed and happy when I returned. The house was well taken care of. I would certainly be happy to have Laura sit again.”

“Aimee was so sweet to our old Donut and kept us updated during our time away. Donut has a couple of health issues and Aimee was prompt to attend to her and let us know what was going on. I’m so glad Donut had Aimee to hang out with while we were on our trip.”

“Brandon was on time, polite, and our dogs were calm and happy when we returned. During our trip, Brandon texted us pictures of our cat and dogs lounging around the house and walking with him through the neighborhood.”

“Rachel is a natural with animals. I feel like you could throw her into any situation and she'd be great! She's thoughtful, trustworthy, and leaves your pups happy and content!”

“Gabe was communicative and kind and caring with estella, she had an unexpected upset tummy and they went above and beyond to take care of her. I hope to work with Gabe longterm.”


“Christina was the best! From the first meeting we could tell she was great and would take care of our pup. She sent nice updates and we could tell Mac had a great time! Will absolutely book her again 😊”

“Kagen was great watching our pup for us! She is quick to respond, and made sure to give some updates throughout her stay. We would highly recommend her services!”


“Kiah was exceptional! From the moment we met her, we knew we could trust leaving our dogs in her care. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates, reached out right away if anything came up, and shared adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-loved our pups were while we were gone. She even helped with our coral reef tank—something that can be intimidating for many—but she took it on confidently and did a fantastic job. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does! We came home to two relaxed, well-cared-for dogs, all of our fish thriving, and (to our pleasant surprise!) a spotless, tidy house. Our hearts absolutely melted when we discovered the beautiful professional photos she took of our dogs and our clownfish. Kiah truly went above and beyond, making sure our pups were comfortable every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would recommend Kiah without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Kiah!!”

“Ndolo was very patient and proactive with our extremely skittish cat! They asked insightful questions, made thoughtful suggestions and sent us clear updates within our agreed time frame.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our senior pup while we were on an extended vacation. She went the extra mile to wash our dogs bedding and guest room sheets before our return. Also took cute photos and send updates while we were away.”

“Leah was awesome - took wonderful care of our kitty and our home while we were away for five days over Christmas. Kept in touch by sending us updates and photos so we knew everything was fine. Kitty had just had dental surgery, was on a special diet and can be anxious and lonely without her humans around. She's also shy around people she doesn't know. But she really took to Leah and they got along great. I'm definitely going to have Leah back the next time we are out of town and would highly recommend her for cat sitting.”

“Lilah was awesome with our dog while we were out of town for a night! She was timely, attentive, and made sure to send us updates & pictures! We’ll definitely use her again!”
