1. Gabrielle R.


“Gabi did awesome with our Rory! She is a 4 month old lab mix that can be quite the handful. Gabi stayed over at our house for 4 days and was able to handle her great :)”


2. Charles M.

“Charlie did a wonderful job with my pets. They loved him and acted like they had known him for years! Charlie took notes, sent pictures, and did everything so I had not one concern about my silly golden and talkative cat . The most amazing thing is that he did this on a VERY short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly!! He was a true help to me! I would definitely call Charlie again!”


3. Erica G.

“Erica was great! She communicated with us regularly and make us assured our 2 dogs were taken care of. There were tornados while we were gone and our dogs were very nervous. She made sure to cuddle them and make sure they felt comfortable. Erica was also very clean and our house was just as we left. We would absolutely hire Erica again.”


4. Kaylee O.

“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”


5. Anna N.


“Anna was so great with my dogs! She communicated so well which helped us enjoy our vacation away from our dogs. They were taken care of so well with multiple walks, treats and attention!”


6. Jenn C.

“I don’t normally require pet sitting, but when I do it will be with Jenn from now on! =) If you are looking for a pet sitter to watch your furry friends while you are away…LOOK NO FURTHER! Book with Jenn! Left my 8-year-old, 15lbs, Shih Tzu- Pomeranian with Jenn & her 2 dogs for an extended week-long stay while I was out of town. I have nothing but good things to say! Her rates are reasonable for all the effort that goes into the visits. Jenn took the time for a meet & greet prior to the stay, as well as providing pick up and drop up services. She has been around pets and animals her whole life and her care & understanding of their needs is unparalleled. During the stay, Jenn provided me with A TON of updates/ pictures of my girl which put my mind at ease that everything was going well. I felt even better to know just how well my dog got along with her two cute & calm dogs, Bubba & Simba, who welcomed my pup with open paws. So if you are looking for a pet sitter/ walker who you can trust & care for your pets like her own, I would highly recommend Jenn.”


7. Jillian F.

“Jillian was great with our dog and cat and made us feel so comfortable when we left for the weekend ! She was responsive and sent lots of photos. She was very loving with our pets. We would definitely recommend her”


8. Amanda D.

“Just the best! Took care of our cat for a long weekend. Was so helpful and went above and beyond. Theo seemed to love her! Highly recommend anyone to reach out to Amanda”


9. Nicole C.

“Dogs loved Nicole and she did great with them! The dogs can be a handful with high energy, but Nicole matched their needs and spent a lot of time outside playing. We are grateful to have Nicole as a sitter and we will have her back soon!”


10. Dahyron V.


“Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!”


11. Aury R.

“Aury was so sweet with our pets! She sent lots of photos and clearly cared about them. She even stayed late when our flight got changed. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”


12. joseph m.

“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”


13. Jennifer M.
“Jenny is an avid pet lover. I’m confident that she loves animals more than humans. The needs of her animals have always come before her own. She’s loving, attentive and patient with animals. She’s owned different animals and is experienced with them all. She’s someone I would truly trust with my fur babies.”


14. Evan M.

“Evan worked so well with both of our dogs!! We have 2 very large pups and they have their respective quirks. Evan came by for a meet and greet and caught on quickly. Knowing that he’s worked with other large dogs helped ease my anxiety a bit as well as him being a genuinely nice and caring person. He was communicative and respectful of our house. We plan to use him again and would highly recommend him!”


15. Shannon H.

“Shannon watched my fur babies yesterday, and she took great care of them. She sent me pics throughout the day, and if I asked for an update she responded right away. Both of my dogs were happy and excited to stay with Shannon! I would definitely use he again!”


16. Noemi C.


“Noemi was great. Punctual. Sent updates with pictures. Dogs seemed calm and content when I came back from vacation. Will definitely book her again!”


17. Evelyn G.

“Eve was amazing with our two dogs! She gave them great care, plenty of exercise, and even put Bluey on the tv for them to enjoy ☺️ We also really appreciated her communication and flexibility with scheduling. Will definitely be calling her to dog sit again! Thank you, Eve!!”


18. Cadence D.

“Cadence was a blessing! She was a perfect match for us and our 2 sphynx kittens, I'm sure they were so happy to spend the time with Cadence. We will definitely reach out to request her for our next trip, thank you Cadence for being a great loving sister and for keeping our home tidy. Looking forward to the next time!”


19. Mallory S.

“Mallory was fantastic with Taloa, she gave us regular updates and photos. I think Taloa really enjoyed staying there as well, we hope to continue to use Mallory in the future.”


20. Becca S.

“Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.”
