Hope went above and beyond. My cat is a very needy and clingy boy, and she provided the love and attention he requires! She was super kind, sent me constant updates, left my house spotless, and most importantly, became instant BFFs with my little guy! Do yourself a favor and get Hope to pet sit for you. I won’t trust anyone else other than her from now on! THANK YOU!

Katrina took such great care of our very nervous pup, June. June took to her immediately (which is not normal for her), and we felt so confident having Katrina in our home. She also did a great job of giving June her thrice daily medicine, which we appreciated. Will 10000% rebook

Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)

Amazing communication, went above and beyond with my pets. They loved him and I am really grateful that he was able to help me out with such short notice. I received updates and pictures every walk, every few hours. One of my dogs is reactive and Stefan still went above and beyond to take him on long walks and handled him with such care and expertise. I have a hard time trusting anyone with my babies, but I can definitely trust Stefan. Thank you so much!

Dan was a life saver for watching my boys on relatively short notice when my friend cancelled. I'm always hesitant to have new people watch my pups because they are a bit quirky. But Dan suggested a meet and great and everyone seemed comfortable, including me! This trip was unlike any before because I literally had no cell service and I wasn't able to access wifi but a few times while gone. When I did finally get access, I caught up on plenty of pictures and updates on what was happening back home. This certainly put me at ease and I was able to enjoy being off the grid and know my boys were being exceptionally well taken of! Thank you Dan, I think Mannie and Jeter have found their new buddy while I'm away...

We are so grateful to have had Laurel stay with our dog Izzy while we were away! She was incredibly reliable and flexible, regularly checked in with updates, and clearly cared for our pup as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless house. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Laurel for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!

Maddy is the best! She came to the rescue when I was away on vacation and had a scary situation with another sitter, whom I had to ask to leave. Maddy stepped in with very little notice and saved the day. I knew my dog would be happy, safe, cared for, and getting lots of snuggles with Maddy 😊
