1. Marlowe M.
“Marlowe was great with our dog Boone and our cat Luna! We searched a long time to find the right overnight sitter for our 10 year old lab because we had not left him with anyone before. Marlowe is the perfect sitter for him! We came home to a very happy pup! Her attention to detail and level of care matched ours and we couldn't be happier to find a repeat sitter!”
2. Caitlin G.
“Caitlin is fantastic. We have two small dogs one who is very anxious. Caitlin has visited a couple times and she is already warming up to her. She is great with updates and pictures and very approachable. We will definitely continue working with Caitlin.”

4. Ileandra W.

5. Carly S.
“carly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups and my older kitty. my pups are high energy and high velcro so they need to walk about 6 miles a day and a lot of cuddle time, she was more than happy to take care of their needs. carly sent a lot of pictures which i really appreciate and was on time for all of the check-ins we discussed. i’m a helicopter mom so i always like more messages and updates but she did a great job, i look forward to booking with carly again!”
6. Chelsea J.
“Chelsea was awesome! Kiyomi is usually timid and cautious of people but warmed up to Chelsea quickly. We were gone for 10 days and returned home to a happy cat and well kept home. Will definitly be a repeat customer!”
7. Hope F.
“Hope was incredible with our two dogs during our family Va vacation. One of our dogs even had issues with separation anxiety, and Hope did awesome caring for our boy and easing my worries while we were away. She was also a great houseguest as we could barely tell anyone was staying at the house. She was so clean, and considerate- took out her trash and kept the house so clean. We’re so grateful for Hope, and impressed by her. She genuinely loves animals and it shows in how she takes care of them! Such a wonderful person and doggie nanny! 💕”
8. Lindsay C.
“Lindsay was awesome! I had recently moved and had to leave the cats alone for the first time since the move. She went above and beyond taking care of them and keeping me updated. Thank you!”
9. Lynne F.
“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
10. Steven K.
“Steven did a great job keeping us informed and keeping our pups happy. He did a final energy burn in the backyard before leaving to help them stay calm until we returned. We will definitely be working with him in the future!”
11. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
12. jordan g.
“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
13. Jp B.
“JP was amazing. She took great care of our little dog. She communicated with us throughout our time away sending pictures of our dog. Abbey, our little chihuahua, actually seemed to miss her when we were back home. That says a lot! We would not hesitate to recommend Jp, and will book her again in the future.”
14. Sarah B.
“Sarah is amazing! It’s a blessing to know a dependable, caring, and highly communicative sitter. Our dog Bodhi loves getting to be with Sarah, we can tell from the photos and videos she sends.”
15. Victor S.
“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”
16. Kim S.
“Kim agreed to take on a very challenging task - caring for a beagle who is not only terrified of people but also has epilepsy. During her first visit he had a seizure and I could not have more pleased with how she handled it. There are some people you meet and immediately know that your pets will be well cared for - Kim is that person!”
17. Bailey H.
“Wonderful experience for Forrest and Rainbow! The care, love and attention that Bailey gave was perfect for our companion buddies. Will definitely use again when need arises!”
18. Sarah M.
“If I could give 6 stars I would! My doggos loved Sarah, and she would constantly provide updates throughout the day. Extremely easy to connect with and I cannot rave enough about Sarah’s care and professionalism.”
19. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”
20. Bree K.
“Bree was an attentive caring overnight sitter for my cat Jarvis. She was in daily contact and sent great photos and behavioral updates. On top of that she happily checked on my studio (separate building) and watered my large yard! I highly recommend Bree for all of your pet care and house sitting needs!”
