“I had a great experience with Chunli. She arrived right on time, took good care of my dog, and made sure to follow all instructions carefully. She was respectful of our home and my dog was in good hands.”
“Beckie did a great job with our senior dog Cooper. She even went the extra mile, taking the trash out, washing the sheets and towels, washing the dishes in the dishwasher. She even replaced the creamer. We will definitely be calling her back in the future.”
“Patrick was an amazing dog and house sitter! He bonded with our dog right away, kept the house spotless, and sent regular updates that put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept home—he truly treated both like family, and we’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Lindsey and her son Chase! They took wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were out of town and we felt so comfortable with them being there. Even with a temperamental/nervous dog, they were understanding and took the time to get to know him and moved at his pace. The best pet sitter(s) we’ve had yet!”
“Abi was amazing with our girl Nori. She took her on multiple walks per day, sent a lot of pictures and updates, and definitely took care of Nori and our apartment. We always love getting updates and knowing that our pup is being taken care of while we’re away. Couldn’t recommend Abi enough!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Kimberly was incredibly communicative, sweet, and attentive from start to finish. She asked thoughtful questions and really went the extra mile to make sure my dog (who has separation anxiety) felt comfortable and cared for. I could tell right away that my pup was in great hands, and she sent tons of photos which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her thoroughness and genuine love for dogs really came through...I didn’t have to worry for a second. Highly recommend and would absolutely book her again!”
“Sean and Michaela were incredible with my giant baby boy, Woody. He is not dog friendly in the slightest so bringing him along when visiting my family is a no-go. It’s always been really hectic and stressful trying to find a sitter for him while attempting to plan time away, so I was so relieved! And the fact that they were great and Woody clearly adored them is such an added bonus! I will definitely be going to them for future Woody needs. Thanks guys!”
“Talia was excellent! Super communicative, responsive, considerate, and most of all super loving with Obi. We got lots of pics and updates and he looked to have had the best time.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing!!! We had a dog boarding reservation fall through the night before our trip and reached out to Brooke and heard back within minutes. She came over within 5 minutes to meet us and our dog, it was pretty late so we were so happy she was willing to take on a last minute sitting job and come over. It couldn't of worked out better! She is incredible. She updated us throughout the trip and honestly she is one of those people that from the moment you meet her, you can rest assured knowing your dogs in the best of hands. Another very important thing to note is that our dog is a 13 1/2 year old lab. He's got pretty bad arthritis, has a hard time sleeping through the night, and takes a large ziplock bag worth of medicine twice a day. After the first boarding fell through hours before, we met with 2 other boarding sitters at their home and just didn't feel comfortable given how special needs our boy is. We had ZERO concerns once we met Brooke. She was so good with him, it couldn't of worked out better! We weren't anticipating having a petsitter stay at our house but after the dog boarding fell through, it was our last hope before canceling trip and she was such a trooper! We didn't have to worry about anything, you could tell she loved dogs, was super trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely be booking Brooke again as long as she'll come back! Ha”

Miranda L.
“Miranda is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure my cat, Binx, received all the care and attention he needed while I was away. Her natural connection with animals is clear—Binx instantly warmed up to her, which gave me so much peace of mind. Miranda's communication was exemplary; she kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, allowing me to see how well Binx was doing. She's someone you can truly rely on, and I fully trust her to care for my pet with the same love and dedication she gives to her own. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

She gives them multiple walks/day, plays with them, and gives them lots of cuddles at night. McKenna is a responsible pet owner, and always makes sure her pets (and mine when she is dog sitting) are kept safe and secure.”

While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!
Kristin was such a tremendous help while we were away. She was wonderful with photo and video updates, supplies lots of cuddles to our girls and even took them on daily 2-mile walks (quite the feat, if you knew the energy of our youngest). She left our house as she found it, and we will absolutely work with her again. I highly recommend Kristin, but hopefully not during the windows we have in mind for her care 😉😅
We had another great experience with Kimberly watching our dog Driggs! Kimberly is super communicative, sends tons of photos, and followed all of our instructions to a T! Kimberly even went above and beyond to work on some of the training methods Driggs learned during obedience class! We felt totally comfortable despite traveling internationally because we knew Driggs was in good hands. When we arrived home, the house was spotless and Kimberly had even started the laundry for us which was so appreciated. Thank you, Kimberly!
We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Jess provided while we were out of town. She watched our 3.5-month-old puppy and two cats, and from start to finish, she was everything we could have hoped for—flexible, responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and responsible. She clearly loves animals and took the time to engage with each of them in ways that made them feel safe and happy. Our pets adored her! In addition to providing excellent care for our animals, she was respectful and attentive to our home, leaving everything in great condition. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely work with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet and house care.
Liam took amazing care of our pup—truly everything you could hope for in a sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s specific needs. Our dog is 10 years old and requires daily medication and a strict diet, and Liam handled it all with thoughtful care and consistency. Most importantly, it was clear he genuinely loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Molly was awesome! I have never left my 2 dogs with anyone …we always take them with us. So I was a bit nervous. Molly came over to meet the dogs and they fell in love with her immediately. She puts you at ease letting you know everything is great, they’re in good hands and she sent pictures almost daily! The dogs seemed very happy and not stressed at all. She went above and beyond
