“Hunter is so great with our pets (2 cats, 2 dogs)! She took such good care of them and treated them like they were her own. She sent pictures and updates everyday and kept me up to date on how they were doing. It’s nice being able to relax, knowing our pets were so well taken care of! Hinter is our go-to for pet sitting and I’m thankful to have found her!”
“Machalah has been a consistent overnight sitter for my pup for several months! He loves spending time with her and I love the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is communicative, sends photos, and has been comfortable talking through his health needs - including giving medications! We look forward to continuing to have Machalah as a pet sitter!”
“Kirsten was fantastic! She was very communicative and made us feel at ease with lots of photos/videos of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is extremely friendly and caring/loving towards the dogs and really made sure to understand their schedule/needs during our meet-and-greet. Would highly recommend and hope to schedule with her again in the future!”
“Allison was beyond amazing with our boys! We’re new to the area and needed to find someone on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond to provide updates on their wellbeing every day. One of our pups suffers some pretty serious anxiety around new people and absolutely adores her. 100/10 cannot recommend her enough!”
“We loved having Marquesa watch our pets! She was super friendly, great with our two high-energy dogs, and even our shy cat warmed up to her right away. Communication was easy and smooth the whole time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”
“Amberly was amazing! She stay at our house for a 10 day trip, and she took great care of my 2 dogs. She communicated very well and sent me photos. My dogs are my life, so it was so nice not having to worry about them while we were gone! ❤️”
