1. Aurora R.
“I was nervous to leave my fur babies overnight for the first time but the second I met Aurora I knew they were in good hands. My pets all seemed so comfortable around Aurora right away…they usually bark at new guests for several minutes but they were calm right away. I was so grateful to have someone here to keep them company and I know they enjoyed their staycation with a new friend. I absolutely trust my pets with Aurora and would certainly book with them again!”
2. Eileen M.
“Eileen did a fantastic job watching my boy. Scheduling a Meet and Greet beforehand was easy and made me feel more comfortable. She even asked where I kept certain cleaning supplies in the case of an accident, not something I ever think about happening. Very professional and would use her again in the future!”
3. Salem E.
“Salem did a great job taking care of my two dogs. They stayed over at my house (cared for the dogs in my home while I was gone multiple days) and left things in good shape. They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”
4. Kim K.
“Awesome with all the dogs. Kim did a wonderful job looking after our 3 babies, took them for a nice walk and fed them in the morning before leaving for work.”
5. Alexandria P.
“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”
6. Mary M.
“Mary was great with the dogs, very detailed in her notes and left the house like she wasn't even here. She obviously has lots of experience with dogs as well based on the questions and details which I appreciate.”
7. Kooy B.
“Kooy was so gentle and patient with our very nervous and wary dog. He has an excellent sense for canine body language and took wonderful care of our cat, fish, and our home, too. Highly recommend him!”
8. Travis M.
“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”
9. Alicia D.

10. Joel F.
“Joel sat for our two pups at our house and did an absolutely fantastic job with them! You can tell he has a lot of experience with animals and we will absolutely book with him in the future. Thanks Joel!”
11. Kendall B.
“Kendall took great care of my pets! They both require medication (oral pills for my dog, a gel for my cat) and Kendall completed all aspects of their care. Kendall also took good care of my home and sent me lots of pictures. I came back to a clean house and happy pets! I would book with Kendall again!”
12. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie took excellent care of our 4 year old poodle, bonding with him immediately and taking him on nice walks and keeping him happy while we were gone. She even brought her own long leash so he could run around at the park while she made sure he couldn’t take off. Very kind, conscientious sitter!”
13. Mark L.
“Mark was great with both our dogs and cats. Sent us lots of updates and clearly spent lots of time with our animals, playing and taking the dogs for walks. Definitely hope to use his services again in the future!”
14. Eliza E.

16. Leah B.
“Leah was great with my 2 dogs and 2 kitties. They liked her and wanted to nap on her and play with her. She sent a couple pictures while we were gone which is nice for my kids to see. The house was neat and tidy when we got home, which I love, as I left it that way.”
17. Jessica M.
