Great dog sitter, will use again! It was the easiest handoff I’ve ever had, usually Ruby starts freaking out that I am leaving her but she settled in with them right away. You can tell Brittany and Stephen are dog people, Ruby was well loved and cared for.

Birdie's first stay with Claire was wonderful! This was Birdie's first time staying with anyone other than our next door neighbor, so we were a little concerned if she'd.be comfortable and would "behave herself". We needn't' have worried about anything. Claire is so relaxed and welcoming, and it's clear all the dogs that stay with her are comfortable, happy and just have a ball! Claire sent us photos throughout Birdie's weekend stay, showing her and her other "guests" walking on the beach trail, romping in the backyard and sleeping happily. Can't recommend Claire enough and we know Birdie will jump at chance to stay with her again. Thanks, Claire!

I can’t stress enough how stress-free my trip was knowing Jane and her partner were taking such good care of my girls. I knew they were going to be treated like family and loved on the entire time I was gone. Jane provided updates and videos I was so happy knowing they were happy girls living the beach life as if they were their own. They were excited to see me, but I could tell they felt right at home and would love to stay hunting lizards and squirrels forever. 100% would book with them again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brian and Julie were absolutely amazing sitters for our sweet Sephora! 🐶 From the start, they treated her like family, making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Horacio was kind enough to share his couch! They even fed her sweet potatoes! Throughout her stay, they proactively sent us photos of her enjoying her little vacation by going on fun walks around the lake and getting lots of love. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. 🐾 To top it all off, they went above and beyond by jump-starting my car when I was on my way to pick her up! Truly incredible people. ❤️ I highly recommend Brian and Julie for anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and caring pet sitters! 🏡🐕✨

Charlie received excellent care from Emma and William! He was exhausted when I picked him up and took him back home, so he must have had a jam packed day. I received a couple of updates during his stay, as well as pictures.

Brianna was literally AMAZING! She provided me with constant feedback and updates on my boy, and was super accommodating. My flight home was cancelled and she went above and beyond to rebook the accommodation to add an extra night so that I wasn’t stressing about someone in-town picking him up. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future!!

Amy was great, my dog felt very comfortable at her house and got along with her dog perfectly. My dog can be anxious and have trouble eating when we leave but we had absolutely no issues since she had one on one with her. Amy even had no problem keeping her an extra day when our flight was delayed. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you Amy!!

Lauren and Austin were absolutely amazing! They are true dog lovers who went above and beyond to make Kaia feel like part of their family. Their communication was excellent, keeping me updated with pictures and messages so I always knew how Kaia was doing. I could tell she was happy, loved, and well-cared for throughout her stay. I can’t recommend them enough and would trust them with Kaia again in a heartbeat!

Highly recommend Jaime to watch your dog and/or visit your cat while away! I was fortunate enough to find Jaime for our most recent trip to watch our dog Kodi (13 Year Old Lab/Aussie Mix) and to visit our cat Louis (6 Year Old Bengal) during our trip. Jaime was very responsive, sent updates, and is a knowledgeable/aware sitter. Her home is great for pets as well. Kodi seemed to have a great time with her and we’ll look forward to having her stay again.

Amy was a great sitter for our dog, Theo, while we were away on vacation! She was easy to work with, sent great photos and updates, and even bought Theo a ball that she sent him home with. He has played with that ball daily! Her dog and Theo got along well too. We will definitely consider her again for our future needs. We're happy to have found her!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our 10-year-old Walter! Being a bit of a mama’s boy, he usually gets pretty anxious when he’s away from home, but Francesca made him feel right at ease. She was wonderful about sending us regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind. Walter absolutely loved playing in her backyard, and it was so comforting to see him settle in so quickly. We highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!
