1. Sarah V.


“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”


2. Hannah J.


“Hannah did a great job! She cared for our babies like they were her own! She sent pictures and updates all throughout our vacation. We appreciate her and will definitely book again next time we need to go out of town! Thank you Hannah!”




3. Annika R.


“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


4. Jordan K.
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! He took care of Sloan (my dog) as if he was his own. This is something I look for as Sloan is the most important thing to me. Jordan is gentle, reliable and efficient. It's very obvious he's a big animal lover. Highly recommend!”

“Miciyah was so lovely to work with. She took care of my elderly cat at my home for 1.5 weeks while I was out of town. She sent lots of cute pics and even left me a Polaroid photo. She made everything really easy and I could tell my cat was happy and well taken care of when I returned.”

10. Ashton B.
“Ashton is a phenomenal, caring pet sitter. She’s trustworthy, communicative and will care for your pets and home. She watched our 3 cars and dog when we went on a last minute trip over spring break. Delighted she was available and willing to stay in our house for 6 nights/7 days. Home was clean and tidy, she went above and beyond to ensure kitchen was clean, bedding removed from the bed, and the house was locked up. Felt completely safe with her, and know our pets loved her based on the photos she shared daily. Highly recommend!”

She was also very responsive, giving me updates as needed. I’m very happy I found Chloee to watch my dog! Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter ☺️ thank you so much, Chloee!”

14. Alex R.


“My cat, Bailey, is an extremely active, playful, affectionate and SPOILED 2 year old who had never been separated from me. His breed is known for separation anxiety. So the idea of me being gone for 10 days in Europe and not knowing how he would do was a major stressor to me. As soon as we met Alex, my fears were alieved. . Bailey took to Alex right away and even brought a favorite mouse to be thrown back and forth. I knew Alex was the right sitter for my little guy. Alex is very chill, very personable and detail oriented. I had a book of notes to make the stay/sit more comfortable. Alex sent daily pics, videos and texts, showing Bailey’s adjustment to a stranger and the relationship they subsequently developed. It was both sweet and very comforting to me. If Alex did have a question, a text would be sent. When I came home, my home was completely spotless, as I expected it would be. Bottom line, I could not have asked for a better sitter for the little love of my life than Alex. When the time comes again, I will again request Alex.”


15. Rafael C.
“I've had the privilege of knowing David, and one of the things that stands out most about him is his deep love and care for animals, especially dogs. He has an incredible way of connecting with them, showing genuine compassion and kindness. Whether it's rescuing a stray, volunteering at shelters, or simply giving his own pets the best life possible, David goes above and beyond to ensure every animal he encounters feels loved and safe. His dedication to their well-being is truly inspiring, and it's a testament to the kind and caring person he is.”


16. Erik M.
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”


17. Lizabeth W.

“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”


18. Katherine S.

“Katie was literally a life-saver when I needed emergency sitting for my dogs. She is a great communicator and sitter. I can't thank her enough.”


19. Kayla V.

“Kayla was awesome. She took great care of our two cats and our house. She’s a good communicator and and kept us informed during her stay. One of our cats requires medication three times a day, and Kayla didn’t flinch at this extra work. We’re grateful for her attentiveness and gladly recommend her without reservation.”


20. Erica T.

“I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Erica watching my dog! Erica is so understanding of her anxious and nervous behaviors, which makes me feel comfortable knowing she is willing to work with her and make her as happy as possible. Erica always sends me great updates multiple times a day. She is trustworthy, dependable and very respectful of my home. I know she gives my dog a lot of attention and love while I’m gone. After one stay it was an easy decision that I’d have Erica stay with my dog moving forward. 10/10 recommend!”
