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.

Dana took amazing care of our 15-year old golden lab while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in the house with her and gave extra care through thunderstorms which make our pup very nervous! Dana communicated daily about our dogs wellbeing which meant we never had to worry about being away from her. Dana is the best!

We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!

Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!

Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.

Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Look no further, you’ve found the fantastic duo of dog sitting! Hire them and you will not be disappointed. We have three very different rescue dogs. We were very nervous to leave our fur babies, especially because two are recovering from surgery. Hue and Anna put as at ease and when we got home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and sleepy (love it!). They also sent us adorable pictures and updates.

Joanna has been my sweet boy’s daily dog walker for 2 years, and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her. She has become one of the most trusted people to my very reactive, shy dog - a true miracle worker! From her abundance of pictures, detailed updates, and vast experience, she’s truly a dog owner’s best friend. Thank you, Joanna!

Morgan was my life saver! I needed a last minute sitter two days before my 6 day trip. I reached out to Morgan and she was very helpful from the start. She was very responsive and respectful in the meet in greet. She took care of my home and dog for 5 nights. My dog and her got along super well, which was a breath of fresh air since we dog is picky about people! Came home to a clean house and happy dog! Thank you Morgan, would highly recommend!

This is our second time that Ray has cared for our sweet doggie in our home. She's a really caring sitter. She's experienced, has good judgment and loves animals, and she left our house in great shape. Having her take care of Honey in our home gave us real peace of mind. We will definitely ask her to watch Honey again.

Angie provided wonderful care for our two dogs, both of which have their own quirks (one is a senior dog with anxiety during thunderstorms and the other is a sassy velcro dog). She was extremely communicative and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well cared for while we were away. She also took amazing care of our house and left it very tidy upon leaving. We would highly recommend Angie to anyone looking for caring, quality pet sitting.

Annie was amazing!!! She really went above and beyond for our pets and our house while we were away. We got lots of updates and cute photos, she alerted us right away when she noticed one cat didn't want her dinner just to check if that was okay/normal, and even taught our corgi a new trick! All three pets seemed very happy and comfortable when we got home. We will definitely book Annie in the future when we need some pet help!

A week before our trip our kitty's condition got worse and she required much more care than we had originally talked with Elizabeth about. She took extra time to drop in and walk through all the new things so she'd be taken care of while we were away! We really appreciated all of her updates and she did so much to care for our sick kitty. She even learned how to give her fluids!

Gabby did an amazing job house sitting for me. Rhis was the first time leaving the fur baby for more than a few hours. Luna is a rescue who went through a couple fosters before coming to me. I'm very sensitive to her worrying she was going through that again which is why I wanted an at my home dog sitter. Gabby was able to accommodate my less than 24 hour notice. She came over to meet me, Luna and get aquant3d with the home and routine. She sent regular updates and photos of Lunabelle, who couldn't have looked happier. I came home to an immaculate house, my dog, home, and plants were carwd for in my absence. Gabby is a genuine person who truly cares about the animals and lher responsibility as a caretaker. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone else.
