“Abby was absolutely amazing in every sense! She took excellent care of our girl, lots of love and snuggles, walks, and very attentive to her needs. She kept us informed of how the days and nights went, sent pictures and was just a joy to have in our home! We came home to our house in perfect order and we are so very happy to have had her!”

“Kelly is attentive and communicative. She watched our dog who doesn’t like fireworks after the 4th of July and Kelly was kind and updated us frequently to let us know that Arya was doing great. She is extremely respectful of your home and all around awesome!! Highly recommend - our dog loved hanging out with her!”

5. Anna S.

“Anna was fantastic! Such a reliable, responsible and caring sitter. My dog had an amazing week with her. She provided timely updates, photos and was the perfect host for my dog. She took my dog on walks and had play dates with her dog! It makes being away so easy when you know your pet is in great hands! I would 100% recommend Anna and will be using her again! A+”


6. Ricardo S.

“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”


7. Rebecca O.
“Rebecca took care of my two crazy orange cats and she did phenomenally! I was out of town on vacation and she made sure to brush my cats, scoop the litter regularly, give them a nail trim (which is so hard since both of them are so restless) along with taking them outside in my cat stroller and play with them! She also made sure that they didn't get into any food and throw up! Thank you so much for watching them! I hope to have you watch them again!”


8. Molly H.

“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”


9. Ariel M.

“Ariel was great with Myka and kept me updated, especially during the severe weather. Definitely had peace of mind knowing my girl was in good hands.”


10. Michelle B.

“Michelle was great! I needed a sitter at the last minute and Michelle was able to help out. She kept us up to date while we were gone and sent pictures. She was a wonderful house guest as well. We will definitely use her again!”


11. Sabrina S.


“Sabrina was incredibly flexible with our situation when we needed someone to help with our dog while we were in the hospital. She sent thoughtful updates and photos and was really nice and easy to work with! We appreciate her help so much and would definitely recommend and use Sabrina in the future.”


12. Ki B.

“We requested an in-home stay Fri-Sun the week of due to our OG dog-sitter getting sick. Ki not only accepted it right away, but messaged us in the days leading up to the stay to touch base on everything. Let us know what info was needed and even arranged to meet with us before we left. This was the first time we have ever left our dogs home for more than 6-8 hours and we didn’t have to worry at all because we got updates and photos regularly. Our dogs are happy and well-fed, cats are happy and had food in their bowls. They got snuggles all weekend, which is a must. Our home looks exactly how we left it. We will absolutely book Ki again in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of Frank, Beans, Poe, and Beau!!”


13. Miles R.

“Miles did a great job watching Bella! He was able to do it on short notice. He took great care of her and sent daily updates on how things were going.”
