1. Maeve L.

“Maeve took such great care of Maverick while we were gone. She sent daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated! Would highly recommend her.”


2. Elisabeth T.

“Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.”


3. Samara M.


“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”


4. Samara J.

“Samara was great with my dog! Before booking she was willing to come meet Mika to make sure they were both comfortable with each other. While I was away she kept me updated with how she was doing as well as pictures of her. Thank you so much Samara !”


5. Sydney J.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of our dogs so we could take a day trip. Will definitely seek out her services in the future!”


6. Marti M.

“Marti did a great job watching my cats for a week. I couldn’t be happier she communicated often. I will absolutely book her again. She took excellent care of my animals and even my most anxious cat was comfortable with her. I highly recommend Marti”


7. Veronica B.

“Veronica took care of our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. She communicated often (including photos!) and left the house so tidy. It was a pleasure working with her, and we will totally book her the next time we need a sitter.”


8. Stella W.

“Stella was great! It's not very often that we like to leave our pup behind while we travel but when we do we know we can trust Stella! She kept us in the loop with updates and pictures! Our anxious pup felt right at home with Stella!”


9. Marcus C.

“Our girls had a great time with Marcus! He was very communicative throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures. We've never had a pet sitter before and Marcus provided us with such a wonderful experience that we're now much more open to having someone watch our girls in the future.”


10. Kelly S.

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”


11. Kaitlyn B.

“Kaitlyn is fantastic! She did an amazing job with our 2 large pups while we were out of town, including our older guy who moves a little slower these days. She is very responsive and provides plenty of updates. It is also very apparent how much she loves dogs and will treat yours like one of her own! I know my dogs will be excited to see her again when we book her in the future!”


12. Forest M.

“Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!”


13. Sara L.

“Sara was awesome, so communicative and I felt so great leaving my guy in her care. Would highly recommend using Sara for your pup sitting needs”


14. Elizabeth S.

“We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family or friends so to say we were nervous is an understatement, but this was such a smooth process from start to finish. We got daily updates and pictures of our fur babies and you can tell that they were well loved. We will definitely be repeat customers!”


15. Bethany K.

“Bethany was great watching my dog and cat for a few days! She was in communication on a daily basis and left the house spotless. I would definitely use her again in the future!”


16. Shawna S.
“I can’t recommend Shawna enough! She’s incredibly gentle, kind, and truly loves all animals. My dog absolutely adores her! Shawna is patient and caring. She is like a fairy dog-mother. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Shawna’s the one.”


17. Laura S.


“We felt great leaving our dog with Laura. She was communicative and respectful of our house. We are looking forward to having her stay again soon!”


18. Sarah H.

“Sarah did an amazing job with my dog, Scout. Scout is an anxious pup but she immediately loved Sarah. Sarah did a couple meet and greets prior to the stay so Scout would get used to her. She provided updates and pictures during the stay. Scout was well taken care of and given tons of love which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”


19. Sarah G.

“Sarah took great care of Bailey, and I would definitely have her pet sit again!”
