Such a wonderful and competent sitter. Jen and her family are the most heartwarming people and they go out of their way to care for your baby. You will not find a better sitter where your baby is treated as one of the family when you have to be gone! Ever! How lucky are we to have people like Jenevieve in this world?! So grateful. She acted like we were gifting her by leaving our crazy cat that we have had for a month with her. Carrie is the happiest and best version of herself I have ever seen after Jen’s care!

Alice did a great job with our dog. She communicated just the right amount and even cared for him over a major holiday. I think she even gave him a bath. Would definitely recommend!

Cory and his family of pets really did well taking care of my puppy and when she got home she was tired and happy for twenty four hours straight. She seemed happy both at drop off and pick up times; a blessing for us indeed!

Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.

After reading several stellar reviews, I decided to contact Maggie to schedule time for her to kitty-sit my cat, Pebbles. I wasn't quite sure of the time frame to reserve because I didn't know when exactly I would be returning home. Maggie assured me it would be no problem if I needed an extra day. I did, in fact, request an additional day because when I returned home, I was too tired to drive across town to pick up my cat. Maggie said it was fine which I really appreciated! Before I brought Pebbles to Maggie's, I informed her that I wasn't sure how well she would interact with other animals because there are no other pets in my home. Maggie said not to worry and that she has space to separate pets if needed. As anticipated, the next day, Maggie texted to inform me that Pebbles was a bit stressed and did not appreciate the other animals. She kept Pebbles away from the other pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Maggie was very good about texting updates and pictures of Pebbles throughout my trip. This was definately peace of mind for me. I have never used a pet sitter before. While on trips, I have either taken my pets to the vet, family, or friends have come to my house to care for them. I was very pleased with Maggie taking care of Pebbles and will definately use her again in the future! I highly recommend Maggie to take care of your pet(s)!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Madison did a great job with Starc, my Great Dane. He was a rescue and can have a lot "quirks" to work through, but she handled him well and he was happy when I picked him up! She gave me daily updates, including photos and videos, and even reached out as a storm was rolling through to ask if he would be anxious or need anything special. She was very thoughtful, and a good sitter who's comfortable with large breed dogs!

Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.

This was an amazing choice for us and we will absolutely reach out again if we need a dog sitter. The dogs clearly had a great time and I'm so glad Hazel was around so they had an extra pal to hangout with. Communicating was easy and we felt well updated (and we loved the photos of the doggos)

Jessica was amazing and took great care if our Sumo while we were on vacation. She was a great communicator and sent us updates everyday. It really made our vacation better because we knew Sumo was being well taken care of back home. I will for sure use her service again in the future!
