Victoria was amazing for our pups! She came over ahead of time to meet the dogs, see our home and take notes on feeding times, house information and any other important info on the dogs. We were updated and sent pictures all weekend which is very helpful and reassuring for a dog mama! She arrived on time. Vicki also left our house in better shape than we left it. Her care was amazing and my dogs loved her! Totally recommend!!

Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.

Yasmin is amazing! We are from out of town and needed care for our two dogs while we attended a family wedding. Yasmin patiently stayed for 8 hours at our rental walking, feeding, playing, and babying our fur babies. Our Sr. Lab has a multitude of phobias and can be challenging but Yasmin was patient and kind. All while dealing with our 1 year old Mini Aussi. I can’t wait to visit again and have her back. She is a life saver!

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟

We would highly recommend Angie for anyone’s pet sitting needs! She didn’t experience any issues with our elderly, special needs dog who requires medication and a Bailey chair to eat in twice a day, who also can be dog reactive on walks. Nor with our senior cat who requires medication daily as well. Our other senior cat who is very skittish even came out to say hi, which I think shows a lot about Angie’s character. We loved the occasional check ins and photos of our pets we received from Angie. On top of all of that, we came home to a clean house. After being gone 10 days. With 3 shedding pets in the house! We feel very fortunate to have found Angie. She will be our top choice for all future pet sitting needs.

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.
