1. Katie T.

“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”


2. Tara N.

“TARA WAS SPECTACULAR!!! Our doggo, Sherlock, had recently had surgery and had more needs (emotionally and physically) than usual, so we were very nervous about leaving him. Tara was so kind and patient with him, sent a ton of updates, and made it so we could leave on our planned trip with a lot less anxiety!!! We are so grateful! We came home to a happy doggo and would book Tara again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Tara!”

7. 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!!”


8. Zachary S.

“Zachary went above and beyond from organizing a meet and greet before pet sitting to ensuring my house was clean when I came home. He took great care of my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Zachary again.”

11. 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.”


12. Sophie H.

“Sophie was amazing with my dog, Skye, who is a rescue husky (and is therefore VERY anxious)! Sophie made her feel at ease really quickly and I could tell how happy Skye was from the pictures she sent! I missed her a lot but knew she was having fun and making a new friend in Sophie! I will absolutely book her again and recommend her VERY highly!”


13. Laurel S.

“Laurel did an amazing job caring for our two kitties over a short weekend trip. She communicated regularly and was open to any extra requests we had. Additionally, she had to deal with a bit more vomit than we expected because our kitty boy likes to over eat. She was polite about it and happy to comfort him. We would recommend her to care for your babies.”


14. 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!”


15. Eliza E.

“Eliza was so good with my pups and watching the house. It’s hard to leave my dogs with just anyone because of their ailments and peculiarities but Eliza handled it like a pro. I felt at ease knowing the dogs and the house were in her care.”




16. Leah B.

“Leah did an amazing job for us both pet sitting and house sitting! She was an excellent communicator and flexible with us since we had an unanticipated home repair come up while we were away. Our dogs loved her, and she was a conscientious and considerate caretaker. I would not hesitate to hire Leah again.”


17. Anna O.

“Anna was a great pet/house sitter! She sent us regular photos of our cat and we came home to a well kept and organized house. Would recommend!”


18. Joshua D.
“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”


19. Annmarie S.

“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”


20. Angela H.
“Angie is the best! She has a deep love for animals and is a kind and compassionate pet caregiver. She has been pet sitting for us for so long, I can’t even put a date on it. Angie is supremely reliable and trustworthy. Our Jasper is always relaxed and well-cared for when we return from our time away. Your beloved pet is in for some special care if you choose Angie as your pet-sitter.”
