1. Coleen T.
“Coleen stayed with our animals while we were gone and was amazing. She sent many messages and photos throughout our trip so we knew they were getting the best care. When we got home our dog was tired and happy - a sign of a fun long weekend! We will definitely rebook with Coleen and would recommend her to anyone.”

4. Joseph V.
“Joseph is fantastic. 11/10 went above and beyond to make sure our pup and the house was very well taken care of. He really understands the dogs and puts our mind at ease while we're gone.”
5. Kristin M.
“We left our separation anxious dog Wilma alone with a “stranger” for the first time and she did so well with Kristin after just one meet and greet! Kristin was on time, great with updates, and was comfortable giving my cat blood pressure meds which can be intimidating! We’re so happy we found Kristin for our wedding weekend.”
6. Adam S.
“Adam took such great care of our boys so we could enjoy our trip out of town! We are thankful for his communication, professionalism, and kindness towards our dogs and house! We highly recommend Adam!”
7. Roland S.
“Roland is great on every level. My dog, who is normally shy with new people, loved him upon meeting. He took great care of our dog and cat. Communication was good while we were away. Appreciated the pics and updates. Would book him again.”
8. Jenna R.
“Jenna took great care of Nixon. She's clearly very sweet and a kind human and treats all animals like they are her own fur-family. She sent me photos along the way and that was very helpful! She was punctual and extremely responsive and left the house even tidier than when she arrived. I would recommend her to anyone.”
9. Sofia G.
“Sofia is a fantastic pet sitter! We felt super comfortable with her in our home and caring for our 2 dogs. She stayed in contact with us throughout our trip and the pups were well cared for! Will book again!”
10. Mary L.

12. Hailey T.
“Hailey took great care of our sweet Andy. He was happy as a clam when we returned home from our trip and we really appreciated the peace of mind we had leaving him in Hailey's care. She is an excellent houseguest as well and left our home perfectly tidy. Thank you Hailey!!!”
13. Vanessa R.
“Vanessa was so lovely! Our Moonee can be quite reserved with new folks, but Vanessa was tuned into her needs and patient with her as Moon warmed up. She gave frequent updates, pictures, and even drew an adorable sketch of our Moonee girl. If you’re needing a sitter for your critter, Vanessa is an excellent choice! Highly recommend :)”
14. Melanie L.
“Melanie was wonderful! Great communication, our house was exactly as we left it and we had a happy happy pup! Would absolutely have her watch our pup again!”
15. Brianna S.
“Brianna was such an amazing sitter! She took great care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week, and sent multiple daily photo updates, making it clear she is a true animal lover. I highly recommend using her services, thank you so much Brianna!”
16. Silvia S.
“Sylvia took such good care or our nervous Essie. It was comforting to see that Essie remembered Sylvia and she was very relaxed seeing Sylvia again. We appreciate Sylvia for the wonderful and assuring care she provides our furry baby. We did not worry at all. We love her photos updates!”
17. Daniel C.
“Daniel was such a fabulous dog sitter. He took wonderful care of my dogs. In fact I think they were sad to see me come home because they liked him so much. He provides lots of pictures and was great at communicating. I will absolutely use him again when I have to go out of town.”
18. Vesryn G.
“Vesryn is amazing. We had never left our dog-reactive dog with a sitter, and needed to travel across the country by plane. We met Vesryn and instantly felt at ease; she so clearly loves animals and is kind, funny, and patient. We were able to travel and she was regularly sending us updates and photos. Our dog doesn't always collaborate, and is a bit of a tough customer on walks (pulling, hunting rabbits, not liking other dogs) and Ves was a total pro. I think our dog misses her. We will absolutely be asking her to watch Primz again.”
19. Mary S.
“Mary was AWESOME! She stayed with my dog Bailey overnight for a long weekend and Bailey loved her! I highly recommend her.”
20. Christopher O.
“Chris was just great. He kept us updated by text and sent a pic each day. My dog TINO liked him immediately, and looked very happy to be with him. Chris was just a great sitter.”
