Ari was absolutely amazing watching our two Goldens! He walked them every day, sent us text updates and pictures of the boys, and was very communicative. Ari also left our house spotless! I would highly recommend, and we will be requesting his services again! Thank you Ari!

Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.

Leonard is now family to me. He treats my dogs as if they were his own. The level of love and kindness he gives to them shows how truly amazing he is. His daily updates and photos help me get through being away from them and seeing them so happy warms my heart.

I have a skittish golden doodle, Stella. Stella takes a long time to warm up to strangers. She met Laura and took to her very quickly. Laura’s gentle, calm nature worked magic on Stella. Laura patiently waited for Stella to come to her, and she did! Laura is lovely and kind. I think dogs sense that. I know Stella does! Tamara T

Nina is an amazing caregiver. She's worked for my family for years as a housekeeper, babysitter, as well as dog sitter. My kids are now grown and flown, but she still looks after our beloved dog. Sometimes it feels like he loves Nina more than he loves us. He goes crazy when she comes to the house. And whenever she leaves he tries to follow her out to the car. Sometimes she takes him for sleepovers at her house, even when we don't need a dog sitter. She just loves him that much. And before Mort, I had two other rescue dogs. She was equally great with them. When each of their long, happy lives, came to an end, Nina made a special trip to our house to say a last goodbye. Her heart broke along with ours. She truly loves dogs with all her heart.

Ryane and Dave have sat for our dogs a couple of times and they're great. One of them is a tempramental chihuahua, but they handled him no problem at all. They bring a wealth of formal education in various types of animal studies as well, which gives them a level of understanding of animal behavior that far exceeds most petsitters you're going to find. Definitely recommend!

Rose made my work trip stress free. I never worried about my two dogs in her care. She even managed them in a rain storm when dogs prefer to never go outside. One dogs is elderly and needs patience and the other a foster and needs a firm hand. I came home to happy pups and a well tended home. I highly recommend Rose to anyone looking for home and dog care. She's amazing.

Alana is my go to sitter for my dog Liza and my cat Vandy! She is a great communicator, sends regular check-ins/updates, and overall makes me feel at ease whenever I go out of town because I know my babies are in good hands. She will go the extra mile to make sure your pets are happy and you can tell she truly loves and cares about them. Alana is the best!

Lydia is wonderful. We hate leaving our furry babies but we always feel good about leaving them with her. She was a real trooper this last visit and dealt with a rain-averse dog during a rainy week and a cat who doesn't always keep everything inside the litter box. She went above and beyond to clean the house and change the linens for us before our return. Would highly recommend her to any pet parent.
