“Aubrey was fantastic! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and overall just made me feel really comfortable with leaving my two boys with her. Highly recommend.”
2. Alex B.
“Alex has watched our pups numerous times over the past year. She is a reliable dog/house sitter who gives our two dogs lots of love and attention:) Both of our dogs (15.5 years old and 4 years old) take medication daily; Our older dog has only 3 legs & trouble getting up at times; Our younger dog wears a muzzle when out and about... Alex is on top of all of these things!”
3. Dinira S.
“Dinira stayed at our home and sat with our dog for 6 days and nights. Everything was PERFECT!! She sent us pictures everyday with updates and my baby had to go on medicine prior to my vacation and she was great at making sure she received her medication on time. She stayed in our home and she kept everything clean and neat when we returned. She even had the toilet paper in the bathroom turned in a bow for us in the guest bathroom. Very responsible lady,great with my fur baby, ans she truly cares about making sure her clients are satisfied. I picked her from this app not knowing anything about either one and We picked a GREAT PERSON that we will use again and again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her . 🥰🐕🦺🐶”
4. Elena V.
“Elena is absolutely amazing. She went over and beyond to take care of my yorkies. She was the first person to stay in my home. I felt absolutely comfortable and trusted her. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your Fur babies and will be using her again in the near future.”
5. Kevin S.
“I hate to leave a good review because everyone will book Kevin but he deserves it! He handled my two high energy high maintenance golden retrievers with ease. He was able to spend lots of time with them and gave me daily updates. Great job!”
6. Dave F.
“CoCo and Diego want to thank Dave for taking great care of them, and they definitely want to book him again and again because, he went above and beyond, and gave them lots of hugs. CoCo and Diego gave Dave 5 stars, and highly recommend Dave to all the dog parents, that are getting ready to go on vacation.🐾🐾”
7. Abbey H.
“Abbey was wonderful and did a great job caring for our 3 dogs! She updated us with lots of pictures and kept us informed while we were gone. We would definitely use Abbey again in the future!”
8. Jeff K.
“Jeff did an awesome job watching our 6 yo and 4 mo. old whippets. We got updates throughout the night as reassurance and he was respectful and clean while staying in our home. We would/will continue to hire him.”
9. Kat M.
“So glad Kat was able to watch Mr Zeus while I was on vacation. Zeus was so well taken care of. Kat is the absolute best and sent lots of videos and pictures. Highly recommend!”
10. Chelsey F.
“Chelsey is an excellent caregiver for your pets. I will give her 100% writing. She stayed with our pets from Christmas Day through January 2. Helped us out a lot with a sick dog.”
11. Kelsey L.
“Kelsey is great with all my animals. My puppy will pee with joy when he sees her. The cats also love her. If we ever leave the cats for any length of time, they’re very moody when we return. If Kelsey stayed with them, they act like they didn’t even notice we left. Which they probably didn’t, but for sure they’re way less stressed.”
12. Lauren B.
“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”
13. Michelle B.
“Wow! How impressed my husband and I were with Michelle’s level of care for not only Bo and Buddy but our house as well. Both Bo and Buddy were happy and healthy on our return home and the house was as we left it. Michelle was house sitting and she washed the towels and sheets and also unloaded the dishwasher!! Above and beyond our expectations. She worked with Bo on crate training and he definitely seems more secure with that process than before we left. We have already booked Michelle for a second stay. Highly recommend!”
14. Jaclyn H.
“Jaclyn was wonderful! She accommodated our last minute request of staying overnight at our home, she was on time, sent us photos of our babies and took great care of them! Will definitely be calling her again.”
15. Audrianna R.
“Audrianna took amazing care of my Buffy! She sent me pictures and videos While I was gone, and constantly kept me in the loop about when she was coming and going. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!”
16. Allison D.
“Allison was very good with the dogs. They liked her immediately.”
17. Lex H.
“Lex took such amazing care of my girls while we took a trip out of town this weekend! Not only was she super flexible, but I felt at ease knowing the girls were safe and happy. This was the first time I’ve left the girls alone, but Lex really made the experience enjoyable and I plan to book her again whenever we get time off to go somewhere!”
18. Carolyn O.
“Carolyn did a phenomenal job with my dog! He was very well cared for. Would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone.”
19. Rachel K.
“Rachel was great AGAIN! I really appreciated her update on my pup and he's very comfortable when she comes, especially now that they've gotten to know each other a few times. We've booked Rachel 3 times now and always appreciate how well she takes care of our home and our favorite furball!”
