“Ashlee did a wonderful job house sitting for us for a weekend! Our dogs were well taken care of, she sent us photo/video updates, and kept our home very neat and tidy. We couldn't ask for anything more!”
“Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.”
“I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!”
“Meg is simply the best! This was her second time staying at our house with Benji, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. Benji absolutely lights up when he sees her. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We came home to a happy pup, a tidy house, and zero stress. It honestly feels like leaving Benji with family. Meg, thank you for loving on our boy and taking such great care of him (and our home!). We’re so grateful for you and can’t wait to have you back!”
“We had Andrea come stay with our pets while we were out of town. She was incredibly conscientious and committed to providing the best care possible for “our girls”. She washed everything she used and left the house spotless. We highly recommend Andra!”
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
“Kendra was fabulous. Visited 2 weeks prior to meet Saul and look at the home/location. Quick to respond to texts and sent photos often. Home was just as I left it and came home to a happy Saul. Thank you!”
“Alisha is the best! We were looking for someone very last minute and she happened to be available. Not only did she make a meet and greet happen right away. I was at ease as soon as I met her. Such a sweet person. She took notes and genuinely cared about the pets needa. She stayed with our 2 dogs, cat, and gecko while we were gone for 4 days. She sent regular updates and communicated really well. We came home to a spotless home, a nice note, and very happy pets. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. She is wonderful and 100% recommend her. Unless I need her then back off she’s mine :)”
“Sarah Beth was so great with my Susie! She has incredible experience and is great at making her new clients feel comfortable leaving their pups in her care! I’ll definitely contact her again 🙂”
“I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing! Monica is incredibly trustworthy, professional, reliable, and caring. She’s taken care of my guys multiple times and they love her. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Deborah was great! And our Golden Retriever Frankie loved her. She took great care of him, and our house, while we were gone. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need great care for Frankie!”
“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”
“Jen house sat for a long weekend and she was great. I was nervous to leave our dog Barry but she came over for a meet and greet and he loved her immediately. She was very responsive and sent cute pics everyday. Barry seemed well cared for and Jen left our house in great shape. We will definitely call Jen again!”
“Melissa was STELLAR with my pup. She was able to accommodate a last minute situation and I felt 100% safe leaving my fur baby in her hands. I would 1000/10 recommend Melissa to anyone and everyone!”
