“LeChar was great - she and my dog, Marshmallow, bonded immediately, leaving me confident she was in good hands. I got pictures and reports of their activities while I was gone for three days, and Marshmallow seemed very loved and well-taken care of. I look forward to having her back for a future visit!”


“What an amazing experience with Liz. Took great care of my dog and cat, plus the house was left in exactly the same condition as when we left - she took care of everything like it was her own.”

“Joey did such a wonderful job watching our Sherlock! We were a bit nervous since we recently adopted him and he sometimes has some behavioral issues as he adjusts to his new environment. However, he was left in such calm and capable hands with Joey- he did such a good job walking/running him a lot and sounds like all went very well. Based on our convos before, Joey seemed to really “get it” and the needs of a dog still adjusting. We also loved receiving a ton of videos and updates!”


“Heather was great! Communication was effective from the start. She set up a time to meet in person with Dawn, which I really appreciated. Everything was incredibly smooth. She gave everyday updates on Dawn, including pictures, which I really enjoyed. When we came back, the house was pristine and in great condition, and Dawn was happy and relaxed. Definitely recommend!”

“Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!”

“Andrea was amazing with our dog Maya! She was so flexible with our schedule even as it got closer to the dates she was sitting. She communicated well and often before and during so that we felt comfortable. Highly recommend her!”

“Munder was awesome. Extremely kind, caring and respectful of our home and kitten while we were gone. He sent daily updates and was very communicative. We will definitely have him stay with our kitten again”

“Renee did AMAZING dog sitting while I was out of town. She sent me constant updates and pictures, and asked questions when she was hesitant about something, which was so reassuring. I can tell my dog LOVED her. Plus she left my place so clean which was very appreciated! Will definitely be booking many more times”

“I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!”

“Aleia took great care of our fur baby. She was responsive to our texts, sent updates, and we came back to a clean house. Would recommend Aleia for house sitting and caring for your pets.”

“Casey was amazing! She took the time to learn about my dogs and their needs before her stay. She asked great questions about their personalities, behaviors, and training. While I was away, my three dogs were well cared for and Casey took great care with my home as well. I would highly recommend Casey!”


“This is our second time having Adam stay at our house. Our dog, Oliver, absolutely loves having him here. Oliver is an anxious dude and Adam def made us all feel less worried about Oliver while we were out of town. Super appreciative.”

“Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.”

“Elijah took great care of my cat while I had to travel for work. My cat had medication that needed to be administered, and there were no problems. So happy! Thank you!”

“Jo went well above and beyond while house sitting with our pup. Our senior dog had become a bit anxious with summer thunderstorms (and was probably sad to be separated from his little brother for our trip), but Jo picked up some extra supplies from her home. She distracted him with enrichment games, like a snuffle mat and licking pad. And of course gave him lots of good love along the way. Like many other reviews noted, she took good care of our home leaving it cleaner than she found it.”
