Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!

Savannah and Tillie are now besties! Savannah was amazing—she took great care of my Tillie Bean and my home. She sent regular updates, brought in packages as needed, and kept everything clean and well-maintained while I was away. I’ll definitely have her stay at my home and watch Tillie again in the future.

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

Matt was available within a few days notice. Ruby was very happy to stay home with him. He played, walked and hiked with her every day and sent us a daily update with pictures. We knew that she was happy and well taken care of! He also took great care of the house and everything was clean and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend Matt and will definitely have him stay next time we go away!

Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Hannah house sat for us over the holiday weekend and did an amazing job communicating and keeping us updated (even without service!) She took time out of her schedule to meet the kiddos and took to them immediately. She is patient, kind and did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and teenage cat. Our boy hates the rain and she made sure he was comfortable while doing his business. She also followed my laundry list of instructions and left our house spotless. If you are searching for a reliable, trustworthy sitter, we highly recommend Hannah!
