“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”

“Bess is so wonderful with our sweet pup! We are grateful to have her recurring, reliable help making certain he is well loved and well exercised. He always has the biggest smile on his face in the photos Bess sends of their time together…and he is always tuckered out when we return from those long days at work. Thank you, Bess!”

“100% pleased with our first behavior training session with Jessie. Our re-homed 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever responded extremely well to the positive reinforcement clicker/treat training, and we have a great plan for homework until our next session. Jessie has a wonderful communication style with both people and dogs- great listener, not a fast-talker, clear and concise suggestions... We plan to book him again for both training and homestays when we can't take pups on holiday trip.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years for friends, family, and as a TrustedHousesitter both in the U.S. and internationally.

“Madison walked/played with my dog on two separate occasions, for an hour each time. She was on time and completed Rover cards including pictures, which I really appreciated!
