1. Kaitlan P.
“Kaitlan was amazing!! She went above and beyond for our kitties. She took the time to understand their routine and little quirks, and even got our shy/spicy guy to warm up to her! She was super communicative and responsive throughout, and we felt so at ease leaving our boys and home in her care. We can’t wait to hopefully have her again soon!”
2. Ismy S.
“This was my second booking with Ismy and Corey, and once again, they were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of my cat, Fox Fox, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It’s clear that they truly care about Fox Fox’s well-being, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They even left the place spotless and made sure Fox Fox was comfortable before they left. I highly recommend Ismy and Corey to anyone in need of reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitters. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future! Fox Fox will miss them until next time!”
3. Georgette K.
“Georgette is so good with our sweet, anxious pup! She has stayed with our dog over two holiday weekends, and always treated her with care and attention. We appreciate the photos and updates she provides!”
4. Tess W.
“Tess was fantastic and kept us updated on Bruno the entire weekend! She left our place clean and tidy and even washed our sheets and put them back on the bed for us! We will definitely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter!”
5. Annie B.
“Annie was great with our dog Benny. She arrived on time the day I left, followed my lengthy instructions (sorry Annie!) and left our house clean! Most important of all, Benny was safe and happy when I got home! We’ll definitely be booking again!”
6. Miranda B.
“Andi was fantastic! -- excellent & easy communication in advance and thru the stay. My dog and house were well cared for. Fun photos. My dog can have a lot of energy outside and I felt like he was in great confident caring hands. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
7. Bishop H.
“Bishop did a fantastic job caring for each of my animals and my plants! My dogs keep looking for her in her bedroom. This is all I need to know regarding her relationships with my animals and will work with her again if she is interested.”
8. Coty C.
“Coty is amazing - I think my dog fell in love with her the week she stayed with him and so did we. Will absolutely without hesitation book her again.”
9. Jason A.
“Jason stayed over night in our home the last 3 days (2 nights) to take care of our 2 small dogs. He clearly knows and loves dogs, and made us feel so comfortable that they were in his hands. Bright, professional, caring, attentive, responsive, fun… Jason kept in touch with us via text and photo the whole time, asked the right questions, took the right notes, and paid close attention to the details of their usual routines. Pups loved him. Already feels like part of the family. Our neighbors enjoyed him too! Will absolutely ask him back the next time we travel.”
10. Olivia V.
“Olivia was perfect. When we got home our dogs were happy to see us but not desperate. She was detail-oriented, she'd read our written guide before she arrived for the meet and greet. She was super communicative, left the house in beautiful condition and was very generous and kind with us and the pups. We would definitely have Olivia watch our dogs again.”
11. Gab M.
“Gab was great with our 1-year-old Staffy and our new 3-month-old foster puppy! He asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to be sure he had all the correct information about our dogs, and he also sent plenty of updates during the sitting. He’s very responsive and prepared!”
12. Andrew N.
“Andrew stayed in our home for a week He took good care of the litter boxes snd was respectful of the space. His very laid back, “chill” demeanor was perfect for our 2 cats. Andrew was very also observant and in tune with their needs and moods. He contacted me on a regular basis and sent me photos of his little charges. We intend to use his services again and highly recommended him to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”
13. Nai-Lah D.
“Nai-Lah did a wonderful job caring for our 16-year-old dog. He's not the easiest and he had some health problems while I was out of town, but Nai-Lah was always communicatitive and handled administering medication too. I'd definitely use her as a dog sitter again.”
14. Katelyn P.
“Katelyn was so great with our 2 cats over the Thanksgiving holiday especially since we were first timers with Rover. She made the process so easy and sent us updates and videos everyday. Katelyn comes highly recommended.”

16. Edward L.
“Edward is a wonderful pet sitter! He was very communicative and sent regular updates while taking care of my German Shepherd, Lama, and Border Collie, Mayla. It's clear that he really cares about the animals he looks after. My dogs, who can be quite picky, were instantly comfortable with him. I could enjoy my time away knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Edward, for being so reliable and caring!”
17. Neil D.
“I used Neil to take care of my cat, Milo, for 3 days. He was great! My cat was watered, fed, and played with 3 times a day for those 3 days. Neil was very communicative and respectful of my space.
