Heather has cared for our dog, Sophie for several years, and her service has been stellar. She is reliable and flexible, patient and responsive. She is thoughtful and sends pictures of our pet while we are out of town, and keeps us up to date on how Sophie is doing. It is comforting to know that Heather is taking care of her when we are away! 5*****

10 STARS! Fantastic! She helped us out in a pinch when we needed someone to stay at our home and care for our dogs. Willianny accommodated on short notice and really helped us out. She was responsive and sent dog pics frequently. Responsible. Trustworthy. Knowledgeable. Kind. One of the best dog sitters we have used and will 100% consult her again to watch our dogs. Highly recommend Willianny.

We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!

Sasha loves dogs of all breeds and sizes. She is always responsible, respectful and trustworthy when walking dogs. While walking my dog, she was on time, friendly and able to accommodate to any requests. Sasha is always happy to help out a neighbor or friend who needs their dog(s) walked. No matter the time of day, she will be there with a smile on her face.

Bernadette is one of the most caring and genuine people I know. She has sat for me multiple times and each time has done such an amazing job. I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my animals with her. She’s kept my animals happy by playing with them and has made sure they are well taken care of. She loves my animals as their own each time she’s been with them and it’s so sweet. She is one of the most organized and dedicated people I’ve ever met as well and she will never let you down.

Christi is the best dog mom! Her dog Lincoln is so well trained. Christi has done so much to help us with our dog, who has some reactivity. Christi has handled so many situations in our local dog park and with her foster dogs with grace and expertise. There is no one I trust more to watch my dog.

Amber did an excellent job of sitting for Yogi on a weekend where the weather was not always ideal outside. She kept in contact, reached out if she had questions and sent us adorable pics of our pup. Highly recommend and can’t wait for Amber to puppy sit again!

Great 👍! I had her for three days, came on time and treated my two big fur babies with love and affection. I hand retriever and a husky, so you know you got the hair all over. She enjoyed being with them and also sent me pictures for the updates. She was a great help and will definitely book for later. Thank you Sabrina 😊

Pam is the best! She cared for my high energy dog Rizzo while my wife and I were in the hospital for the birth of our son. Pam gave Rizzo plenty of love and attention, was always on time, communicated proactively with me, and was just super nice/respectful. She put me at ease and allowed me to put Rizzo out of my mind knowing she was well cared for. 10/10 would recommend and book again.
