“Vanessa did a wonderful job caring for my golden retriever. She is very responsible, organized and communicates status updates and provides lots of pictures.”


2. Marianne L.

“Wonderful..Punctual which is one of the most important things to me. Took pictures every day.. Was very responsive when I texted her. Kept my house very clean. Followed my instructions on both my pets feeding schedules. Super nice !!Thank you”


3. Stella R.


“We had Stella stay at our home for 5 days and 4 nights to watch our 3yr Westie and our Bulldog who is almost 11. She was wonderful with both and handled all the problems and care that goes into an 11yr old Bulldog which included medications. We had daily photos sent to us and she left our home just the way it was when we left, ok maybe better. She accommodated our flight delay by coming back for one last visit which we really appreciated. Usually when we get back from a getaway our dogs go crazy to see us but this time they looked a little disappointed when the door opened and it wasn’t Stella. We highly recommend her and look forward to future travels knowing we have some one like her to stay with the pups.”


4. Catherine Z.

“We cannot say kinder things about Catherine, she truly is the dog fairy godmother! We are so happy to have someone locally to watch our two furbabies. She kept our girls safe and happy while we were away and we could not ask for anything more.”


5. Elisha P.

“Elisha was the best! She watched my puppers really last minute and definitely saved the day for me! She went above and beyond and I’ll definitely be calling her again. Thanks again Elisha!”


6. Maria Gabriela P.

“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”


7. Dawn W.

“Dawn is the best! I have used her several times and will continue to do so. She is responsive, professional and dependable. She has a great attitude and sends pics of the pets. I can totally trust her.”


8. Sean B.


“Sean was great. My girl exhibits fear aggression towards other dogs and Sean was able to easily work with her. Not only work with her but they had a great time! He updated me frequently and made me feel at ease while being 3,000 miles away. He also took care of my skink and aged rat. Awesome dog/skink/rat sitter!”


9. Nicole G.

“Nicole has been amazing since getting our new puppy Bailey. We first used her services for house drop ins, and recently had to take an emergency family trip for 3 days which we booked Nicole to house sit. It is always nerve-wracking to leave a pet let alone let alone a puppy at 5-6 months, but we knew from how Bailey has enjoyed her house visits Nicole would be the best fit. Nicole was communicative the whole time and sent lots of cute pictures of Bailey and it made us happy to see how happy Bailey was! Thank you Nicole - 10/10 recommend and will absolutely book again!”


10. Robin W.


“Robin was awesome with our shy pup. Her calm demeanor put him at ease. It’s obvious she really understands dogs. We are lucky to have found her!”

12. Kristina D.

“Kristina was amazing! She house sat for us and looked after our cat. She frequently updated is with pictures, left the house in great condition and spent great quality time with our little guy. She came for a meet and greet before house sitting. She is an incredibly kind and sweet individual. She definitely has a great understanding of cats. We are so grateful for Kristina. I'd highly recommend her!”


13. Deniro p.

“I chose Deniro to watch my 3 dogs in my home after an initial meet n greet. After I met Deniro, I could tell that he was a trustworthy, caring person that would watch and care for my dogs while I am work. After the first housesitting, my dogs couldn't wait for him to return a second time. Deniro is polite and respectful and kept my home clean and organized and took good care of my dogs. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future.”


14. Morgan S.
“Morgan has taken care of my golden retriever Dug a number of times and has always been great! She’s very professional, sends lots of pictures, and is very attentive to the details we give when Dug changes diets or has medicine to take. She has always been great and Dug loves when we drop him off with her. She goes above and beyond and truly has a love for all animals and caring for them.”


15. Jose O.
“JOSE is as loving as a parent is to a child when it comes to his fur babies. He runs home when he’s busy so he could walk him and make sure that they are doing well. I wish I can come back in the next lifetime as one of Jose’s dogs.”


16. Lucero R.

“Amazing, caring, respectful house and pet sitter. Lucero provided timely updates and all relevant information any pet owner would need. I highly recommend and will rebook soon.”


17. Cory H.
“I’ve known Cory H. for years, and I can say without a doubt that pets absolutely adore them—and the feeling is mutual. Cory has a natural connection with animals; they’re patient, kind, and incredibly responsible. Whether it’s walking energetic pups or giving extra love and care to older or more anxious pets, Cory knows how to make every animal feel safe and happy. They’ve taken care of my pets several times, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in Cory’s hands. They go above and beyond—sending updates, sticking to routines, and treating every pet like their own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, Cory H. is your person. Your pets will thank you!”
