“Maia has been our dog sitter for quite some time now. She is always on time and has adapted well to our crazy pup. He is just so happy to see her! Maia is a lovely young lady, kind and gentle. So glad she is with us.”


“Ashly was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! They can definitely be a handful at times, but she followed all of my instructions very thoroughly, from their specific feeding schedule to the way they go potty in the yard and even how to clean up afterward. I really appreciated how thorough, nice, and attentive she was, and it showed. I came home to happy pups and a spotless house! She also kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. This was the longest amount of time I left the dogs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter.”


“Marti is fantastic! We had a meet and greet couple of weeks ago. That sealed the deal for me. She had a calming effect on my 16 month old Maltipoo. Missy snuggled up to Marti and trusted her. Marti offered to drive me and pick me up from my eye doctor appointment . It worked out great. Missy was such a good girl riding in Marti’s car. Very pleasant, stress free experience for us. Marti is a kind, smart lady. Her past experience is evident. She will watch Missy again in December at my house for a weekend. So happy to have found Marti.”


“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”


“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”


“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”


“Could not be happier with Marideth's house-sitting! She took great care of both my mother's and my own cats while we were away. She also went the extra mile to make sure our trash was out and snow shoveled when the snow came! 10/10 would book her again!”


“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”


“Ciara was a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed overnight for a couple days with my two dogs and she kept me very updated (with pictures) the whole time we were gone which was great! I would definitely recommend!!”


“Haley did amazing with our baby, kept us up to date with how things were and when she got there and when she left..very responsive and dependable. Will definitely be using her again :)”


“Katie was amazing! She watched my dog, Molly, for the day. Katie was very accommodating to my schedule, communicated effectively and most importantly kept Molly happy and safe! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Bear loved spending time with Christina! Lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles! We greatly appreciated the updates and pictures she provided while we were away as it gave us peace of mind! She also took great care of the house. We are hoping to book with Christina again!”


“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”


“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

“Miranda was wonderful. She clarified anything she wasn’t sure of immediately and sent us pics throughout the week- just enough to keep us informed but not too many to have us focused on back home. House was as clean as we left it, and our animals were happy and healthy. Will use her again!”
