1. Trisha M.

“Trisha was amazing with our two dogs! She provided plenty of updates, pictures and left our house spotless. Our dogs were spoiled and they definitely loved her. We will be booking again! Thank you so much!”


2. Adrianna M.

“Adrianna was great! She took great care of our home, she sent us status pictures of our pets, and they seemed happy upon our return. I will definitely sell her services on the future.”


3. Victoria A.

“Victoria was a pleasure to have watch our girls! She was willing to come meet them before we booked to make sure they were a fit (which was so relieving as someone with reactive dogs) and they took to her SO well. We got lots of pictures and updates, they had plenty of time outside of kennels and outside to play, and looked super happy! Outside of that, the day we left to come back home our flight got cancelled and the flight we rebooked got delayed and Victoria stayed a tad bit later than originally planned (even though our girls would’ve been fine either way) and even went as far as to do a little extra cleaning without ever being asked to make it less stressful when we got home late that night. All in all, if you want someone who is trustworthy, will make your pets happy, and even go the extra steps to make your time away less stressful, she’s your girl! We will 100% be rebooking with Victoria any other time we go out of town and need a pet sitter.”


4. Heather D.

“Heather did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town for one night. House was well taken care of too. Will definitely use Heather again!”


5. Erin B.

“The dogs met Erin and within 3m of meeting her they were relaxed and comfortable. She stayed at our home for the weekend and sent plenty of pictures of the dogs. They cuddled and looked very comfortable!”


6. Melissa M.

“Melissa was an absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog Riley was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Riley is a very anxious dog, especially around new people, but Melissa made the extra effort to meet her a few times before our trip to help Riley feel at ease. Throughout our time away, Melissa sent us frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for Riley and left our house spotless. Melissa’s kindness and dedication were evident in every detail, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pet and goes the extra mile, Melissa is the perfect choice.”


7. Micaela B.

“Micaela was a lifesaver for us! Our previous dog sitter canceled last minute and Micaela swooped in and saved our vacation. She was extremely communicative, she shared photos of our dogs with us, she took very good care of our house and even better care of our dogs! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel and need to leave the dogs at home. I highly recommend Micaela to other dog owners in need of a caring and respectful petsitter”


8. Christy K.

“Super easy and relaxed house-sitter experience. Christy was responsive, present, and an engaged house-sitter. House was pleasantly clean when we arrived and most importantly animals seemed happy and healthy.”




9. Rebecca S.

“Maebh had a fantastic weekend with Rebecca! She made herself right at home with the pack and came home well worn out. She was able to run around in the fenced fields on Rebecca's family's expansive property and even got more comfortable with standing outside in the rain! We were concerned with finding a sitter that would be able to wear Maebh out and mission accomplished! Dropping Maebh off for her first weekend away from us was akin to parents' feelings on their kid's first day of school but all our anxieties were abated when we received such cute pictures from Rebecca over the weekend. We would absolutely stay with Rebecca again and highly recommend her.”


10. McKenna R.

“McKenna is the best in the Midwest! She was so good with my Samoyed pup. My pup had a blast staying with her! McKenna also was so good with communication sending updates and pics.”


11. Anna P.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!


12. Olivia N.
“Olivia is a great pet sitter. She is always responsible and attentive to my dog’s needs. They absolutely love her and she loves them also. Nobody has ever taken better care of my dogs.”


13. Laken F.

“We were very pleased with how Laken took care of our pets. They seemed very comfortable with her and she did a great job of accommodating their needs and our schedule.”


14. Haley A.
“Haley is incredibly reliable, kind, and patient with animals. She treats every pet like her own and always goes the extra mile to keep them happy and safe.”


15. Camryn S.
“Camryn is extremely responsible, kind, and passionate. We worked together at two different pet jobs and she was amazing at both. She is so caring and playful with the animals. She always shows up on time, extremely present, and will do anything she has to do to ensure the pets receive the best possible care. I would recommend her to anyone with pet care needs. She has previous watched my animals with no problem whatsoever and my pets aren’t super friendly and absolutely fell in love with Camryn and seemed to not even care I was gone haha!”


16. Jennifer B.


“Jennifer was very accommodating and flexible to open up a few days for Memorial Day weekend. She was able to do the Meet and Greet the next day after our initial contact.”


17. Mya R.

“Mya did a great job with our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She made sure they got outside a lot and received plenty of attention. She also took good care of our house. I would definitely recommend her services and we would be happy to book with her again!”


18. Anna E.

“Kind, trustworthy, and communicative! Great pet sitter for my cat.”




19. Torrey T.
“Torrey is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. He has a lot of experience taking care of all kinds of dogs and treats them all with respect and care. He also respects the wishes of the owner and follows their instructions very well. He enjoys spending time with dogs and if I had a dog, I would completely trust him to care for it. I highly recommend him!”


20. Casey S.

“Casey was awesome with our dogs! She had wonderful communication with us and we could see that our dogs were well taken care of when we came back. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
