“Tori took great care of our home and dogs. We were able to go away camping for a weekend while our house and dogs were in her safe hands. They played outside and got a ton of energy out. We will be having her watch them again in the future.”

“Eva was absolutely fantastic with my dog and my cat. They warmed up to her immediately--due to her calming nature and clear love of animals. She was extremely courteous and I found the house exactly how I left it. She was also very responsive to my questions and requests for updates, etc. I'll definitely book her the next time I need a house sitter for my fur-babies! She's just awesome! Thanks, Eva!”

“Farrin is an amazing petsitter! She stayed all day with our lab (who gets very anxious when we are away) and two kitties. We were able to enjoy our son's wedding without worrying how our pets were doing. This is our second time booking with Farrin; both times she has communicated well with us before the event as well as sending us updates (texts & pictures) during the actual house/petsitting.”

“Caitlin surpassed our expectations! She gave us peace of mind our fur babies were fully taken care of. She made sure to keep me in the loop with updates and the most adorable pictures. She even brought extra treats that became a favorite. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future! Thank you Caitlin for everything! I know Bear and Coco miss you!”

“Stella was great! She was friendly and responsive and wonderful with my two dogs! My house was exactly as I left it if not a little nicer and my dogs were brushed! 😊 She took them for walks and gave them medicine as I requested. I highly recommend Stella!!!”

“Kelley was excellent with communication from start to finish. We met a couple times in advance of her watching our girl to make sure everyone was comfortable. I received daily updates and plenty of photos. We arrived home as if we never left- our home and dog both in excellent condition. We hope to work with Kelley again.”


“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”

“Trinity was great! Very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She made sure she was comfortable with Mogi’s routine and sent me regular updates. I also appreciated her flexibility when the weather caused my plans to change. When I got home, Mogi was calm and relaxed, telling me she had been well cared for and comfortable with Trinity.”

“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”

“Jordann was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs aren’t used to being left at home without someone they know well, but we had limited options for this trip. She was super flexible when we asked about doing a meet and greet and the dogs (one of which is medicated for his anxiety) seemed immediately comfortable around her. She stayed with them in our home for 3 days and when we got back the house was clean and the dogs were happy, I couldn’t ask for much more than that. Would definitely recommend!”
