“Rachel was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She responded quickly to messages, maintained my (spoiled) cat’s specific routine, left the house spotless, and I returned to a happy relaxed cat.”

“Corey was house and cat sitting while we were gone for 10 days. He was amazing with our not always easy kitties. He was even able to get Gerbil out which is normally totally scared with strangers. He even updated us regularly, which I really appreciated as I was a bit worried especially about Gerbil. Knowing to have somebody in the house who takes care and is there if needed makes vacation really relaxing. Unfortunately, we don’t have any trips coming up soon, but if, we would definitely ask Corey again. Thank you!”

“We had a top-notch experience with Jayda. She was responsive, prompt, polite and knowledgeable. She asked appropriate questions and did a great job with our many pets including a senior cat who needs daily medications. She is one of the most professional pet sitters we’ve ever worked with!! Will definitely have her watch our pets again!!!”

“She is a wonderful dog sitter! I recommend her 100% for caring for your fur babies. She is flexible with my changing schedule this few day trip. Fast communication and got many pictures and videos. She is patient and kind to my pets, trust her 100%”

“Sydney took care of our aging and rapidly declining cat. Without hesitation they gave him meds and cuddled with him. They also sent us photos and kept us updated on his condition and eating habits. We would highly recommend you hire Sydney for any pet, healthy or not.”
“I’ve never hired a stranger to stay in my house while I was away, so I was nervous, but Tana agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and after meeting her, I felt totally comfortable leaving the responsibility of our pets and home in her hands. She sent me pics of my dog throughout her stay and took great care of our home. I hope she enjoyed the job and agrees to come back!”
“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”

“Benita took great care of our dogs and house. She managed to still walk and play with them in the icy and cold weather. She probably threw the ball at least 2,000 times for our crazy younger pup. Her communication and updates were very frequent. Our dogs were really sad to see her go. We would definitely book again!”

“Really responsible and well informed. Rhinna watched our new puppy along with another dog and two cats and appeared responsive to all their needs. Great with phot updates too!”

“Katraena was super flexible and responsive prior to our booking and came for a meet and greet the very day I messaged her! Once we met her, it was obvious she loves dogs and would be a great fit. She took great care of our two high energy pups and our house. She sent lots of pics and updates as well! Definitely recommend.”


“Maleah was awesome with our girl Isla. She took great care of her while we were out of town and made sure she was well exercised and socialized. Thank you to Maleah we will absolutely be booking again with her!”

“Freya did such a great job caring for our dogs! It gave us such peace of mind while out of town to get frequent updates and pictures. They were totally relaxed and happy when we returned. She is very professional and a great communicator, and clearly loves animals.”


“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”

“Absolutely fabulous pet sitter! Jillian house sat for my two pets (a large dog and a cat). She was attentive to details, followed the health needs of both my pets (providing daily medications), and gave good exercise and play time. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how things were going, which I really value as it can be a bit nerve racking leaving your pets with someone new to them. I came home to some cute stories of things they had done, a clean house, and two chill and well loved pets…. Exactly what I wanted! 100% would recommend!”
“Maggie and her partner watched my dogs at my house while I was away. Maggie regularly sent pictures and updates on how my pups were doing. She showed a lot of patience towards my newly adopted dog, who needs to be walked regularly while she is still working on potty training. My house was clear and orderly once I returned. I really appreciate and will be hiring her again soon.”

“Dorian was kind, respectful, timely and dedicated. Both the animals got love and we got updates with photos 🤩 He helped take care of the plants, and left our home clean as and we do. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future.”

“I booked Hawken to take care of our dog and two cats while we were away on vacation. I couldn't have made a better choice! During our meet and greet, our animals were at ease and Hawken established a connection with them right away. He was very detailed in getting to know our preferences and made sure all the information was covered. During his stay, we received daily pictures and updates and Hawken even stepped in and helped us with a couple of hiccups during our travel. When returned to a clean home and relaxed, happy animals. Hawken even shoveled our driveway! We will definitely invite him back when we travel again. We highly recommend him!”

“Chase was very easy to communicate with and he was quick to win over our dogs (who honestly can be a bit too hyper for some people). Chase was very prompt and professional, following instructions around meds, baby gates, etc. We'll definitely hope to work with Chase in the future!”
