Ace did a fantastic job with our busy puppy! She kept us updated and sent many pictures of our happy dog. The house was left in great condition! We would certainly use Ace again any time and recommend her 100#. Thank you, Ace for a great job. You put our minds at ease.

Adara did a fabulous job caring for our fur baby, Toby, in our home when we went away for the weekend! Toby is a bit (ok, VERY) quirky, and he doesn't do well with changes to his routine. Adara went above and beyond when caring for him. We felt very comfortable with her in our home, as well. Toby gives Adara a 10/10 for pet sitting, and so do we!

Elena was amazing with our extremely anxious and reactive dog. She was patient with her and made sure to be mindful of other dogs in the neighborhood so she didn’t get scared or overwhelmed. She sent many photos and videos every day so we always had an update of how she was doing. Thank you so much, Elena!

Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾

Shea is a very nice respectful and polite girl. Her communication is always timely. She was punctual with her arrival time, allowing us to leave a few minutes earlier than planned for our trip. She wasn’t afraid to send a text later in the evening when our dog was having trouble settling down. She sent a couple updates and photos during her stay with our dog and everything went well. We will definitely keep her in the rotation for when we need care for our dog!

Chelsea is amazing with animals! I have watched Chelsea volunteer for horses, dogs and cats. She is quick to care and provides individualized love to each furbaby she comes in contact with. She has watched my animals multiple times and always treats them as her own. 100/10 would recommend.

10 Stars! Annie took care of our 3 dogs and our house while we were overseas for 2 weeks and did an exceptional job. She is a natural dog sitter and they absolutely loved her. She walked them and sent us updates every day. And she did a terrific job taking care of our house, too! We will be hiring her again in the future.

I was terrified to use a service. I have two rescue dogs who have had a tough life and don’t always listen PLUS three sphinx cats who are high energy, require a lot of attention, and are my entire life. Brooke and Mike came over for our initial meet and greet and ended up spending nearly two hours getting to know me and my animals. They were patient, empathetic, and answered all of my questions MORE than once. When it was time for my trip, Brooke was super communicative- she checked in to make sure my work trip was going well, she sent regular updates and pictures, and she was just generally so available and nice and supportive. I never in a million years would’ve thought “everything is gonna be fine”. It was more than fine. Brooke stayed over two nights while I was traveling for work and the house is EXACTLY in the same state I left it. I mean she even did her own dishes. My own kid doesn’t even do that when she house sits. I know this is long and rambly but honestly I was terrified going into this. “I’m gonna let a stranger stay over at my house??” I can’t stress enough how relieved and grateful I am to Brooke (and Mike). My animals acted like I hadn’t even been gone (and that’s saying a lot considering how clingy they are and how they typically act like I died and suddenly appeared back in their lives by some witchcraft if I’m gone for an afternoon). Brooke cared for my pets and my house like it was her own. I can’t wait to explore going on a real life vacation now that I’m not terrified of taking this step anymore. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. For anyone still doubting or questioning things (or for anyone new to the app in general), I’m more than happy to be a reference! Brooke and Mike - welcome to our weird furry (and furies) family!!!

Good afternoon, my name is Michael Carter and I have known Richard V for many years. I am writing this on the behalf of his experience and relationship with not only dogs but all animals. Never have I seen anyone such as Richard befriend an animal the way that he does. He is not only a loving and nurturing spirit but sometimes I even wonder if he was a dog in a past life. His instant connection with animals fortifies a jealousy within myself and those around him. Any animal lover would be lucky to have him watch and care over their beloved animal.

Camber has taken care of my dog many times. I was impressed with her the moment I met her. She’s kind, reliable, professional and completely delightful. She takes wonderful care of my dog, Hershel, plays with him, lets him sleep with her etc. I am very lucky to have met this wonderful woman. There’s not many people I’d trust with Hershel

When I had to travel for a conference out of state, I couldn't bear the thought of leaving my precious pups (Honey and Mocha) behind. Becky happened to have the weekend off and volunteered to visit them twice a day while I was gone. It absolutely made my day to see the pictures she sent of them playing and going for walks! I felt at ease the whole time knowing, knowing my babies were in good hands.

About: Growing up I have always had both cats and dogs, some of which were cases of needing to go the extra mile due to sickness. I am up for the arrangements of making sure to do what is needed to guarantee a pet's safety and health. I am very motivated with making sure photo/video updates are always being sent to give peace of mind while you're dealing with being home sick from your fur babies as well. Will accommodate and respect owners wishes when it comes to their homes as well as mine to ensure trust. Every day I am a routine dog and cat caretaker to my own. (1 dog and 5 cats). I wake up in routine of letting out my dog out to do his business as well as feeding 5 cats alongside him twice a day on a weekday basis. Weekends are more so flexible with having the freedom to take walks and adventure. I work 8am until 5pm at a full-time job, so I am more of evening assistance, but weekends are usually more open. Every pet has its own personality and routine. My dog gets let out in the morning and then fed his mix of specific bladder/UTI aid food. 1 of 5 cats has a rabbit mane diet, she gets fed next. The other 4 are all sync'd up and luckily eat in peace in our home. Mandatory clean litterboxes at end of each day as well as a cleanup right after the dog takes his business to keep with a clean yard.
