Mo did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog. Mo’s experience showed when asking for every possible detail on how best to care for both animals. Communicated very well, and kept everything nice and clean. Highly recommend.

Arantxa was such an amazing sitter! We were in ATX for a week & needed a sitter on NYE & the day after. She was extremely flexible & worked with our schedule as needed & just from how the dogs were with her, I could tell they REALLY bonded with her while in her care! That says so much coming from my 3 with only meeting someone for 2 days. I would HIGHLY recommend Arantxa to anyone in the ATX area who's looking for pet care! Thank you so so much for taking such amazing care of our babies! :) <3

We are incredibly grateful for Kimberly's outstanding service and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. Kimberly responded promptly to my request and setup a time to meet us and review the dogs' routines. I was impressed with how generous she was with her time and attention to details. She agreed to stay at our apartment for 4 days to care for our cavies that require a lot of love and attention. She communicated throughout the trip and sent pictures, which helped put us at ease when we saw how happy our dogs were in our absence. They were even snuggled up on the couch the same as if we were home, it was amazing. She left our apartment cleaner than she found it and left no trace of her stay. I highly recommend her exceptional service!

Jewel was an amazing caretaker for Bella. She was a clear communicator, showed great care for Bella, and left my home spotless at her departure. More importantly Bella loved her and was very happy to spend time with her.

Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.

We cannot recommend Woody enough! We’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving town and having someone stay overnight with our dogs—until Woody. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Our dogs adored them so much that I think they were actually a little sad when we got home! 😂 Woody went above and beyond, especially when the dogs decided to have a little adventure in the muddy backyard. They handled cleanup and care of our home perfectly—everything was spotless when we returned. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with Woody again!

This was Mo’s second time watching Bonnie. He did an outstanding job with care, precision, and communication. I could tell Bonnie was acting like her playful and active self while I was away - which means I know Bonnie loves Mo too. Bonnie can’t wait until next time!

Jewel was great with my senior pup, Missy! She even found some creative ways to get her to eat, which I’m still doing because it worked so well. Jewel truly cared and I can’t recommend her enough! I was so nervous to leave Missy behind with someone other than family, but she was great and provided updates while I was away.

We were extremely pleased with Sarah’s care and attention she provided to our boys while we were out of town. The pictures she sent confirmed they were well loved and happy. She communicated with us daily on their well being. We were able to enjoy our time away from our boys knowing they were in great hands with Sarah. It was also a bonus coming home to a clean home. Will have her stay with the boys again!

Arantxa was so amazing with Marley ♥️ Marley can initially come off quite stand off ish but Arantxa was so patient and willing to work with and love her through it, we were so grateful! I also have to mention Arantxa’s communication is top tier and gave me SO much piece of mind while away from our girl. Fast replies and consistent updates makes the biggest difference for us dog parents and we were so grateful for that! ♥️

Corinne did a fabulous job watching our house full of critters. She expertly managed the house, two dogs, and a cat that command a lot of attention, but are in desperate need of human supervision. She sent kindly updates and checked in regularly throughout the stay. She made sure our mischievous fur babies were well taken care of.
