Krista did an excellent job with taking care of Jackson. She provided plenty of photos to assure me he was ok. She even brought in a package I forgot was being delivered. The house was kept in great condition. I would recommend her for her services plus I will be definitely going to use her again.

Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!

Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.

McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!

John is a rockstar. He stepped in for us in a moment’s notice to take care of our dog, Adam. He went above and beyond to be with our pup and help maintain his routine in our home. Anyone would be lucky to welcome John into their home to spend time with their fur babies. I know Adam is looking forward to hanging out with John again the next time we need a sitter.

Tia was an awesome, Dog Sitter for our 70 pound, somewhat anxious, rescue dog, Lucy. She instantly knew how to make Lucy comfortable and feel secure, which is no small feat. She was also completely reliable., showing up on time, responding quickly to questions, taking as much time as we needed during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend Tia highly enough.

Emileo truly went above and beyond in every possible way while caring for our pets! Benji, Cleo, and Garp had the absolute best time with him and it was so clear they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. He was exceptional with communication, sending frequent updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. It’s rare to find someone this attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested in your animals’ well-being! He even went the extra mile by keeping our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. He took Benji and Garp on fun car rides and park walks, making sure they got plenty of exercise and enrichment. Benji enjoyed some much-needed playtime and fetch, while Garp, who is usually nervous and hesitant on a leash, was able to explore comfortably, which meant so much to us. We couldn’t recommend Emileo enough and would trust him again in a heartbeat!!

Tia is excellent! We have three dogs and a cat. All three dogs have some special needs and Tia managed their personalities and quirks (and medications) perfectly! She left her room tidier than she probably found it, which we appreciated! We completely trust her with our home and our pets and look forward to having her back.

My dogs simply love her!
