“Catherine was awesome! Gave us great updates on our dog while we were away. Took great care of our dog and played with him and made sure he was happy.”


3. Eyowyn M.

“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”


4. Van T.

“I highly recommend Vana and we look forward to booking again with her soon. ❤️ She did a wonderful job with our dog Bodhi, taking him on walks, sitting with him at home and bringing him to our dog park. She communicated with us clearly, sent text and photo updates throughout the day and had a wonderful meet and greet to get them introduced to each other. Can’t wait to see you again Vana! 🐶”

Kat is so sweet, always on time and just all around she is an incredible person and I can go on and on about her, we are so, so thankful we found her. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Kat! You have and are a part of our family 😊🤗♥️”


6. Vini T.

“Vini was the perfect sitter for our husky! She was quick to respond and easy to work with! We’re thankful to have found her! Definitely would recommend!”


7. Logan B.

“Logan was everything we could ask for in a sitter. Communicative, responsible, and goes above and beyond expectations. I could tell as soon as she walked in that she loved dogs and vice versa. I know our pups will miss her, but I foresee using her services again for sure. A purely positive experience, start to finish.”


8. Haley W.

“Haley was an amazing sitter for our 16 year old senior dachshund and our 5 month old poodle puppy! We took a weeklong trip across the country for our anniversary! Our pups were in great hands while we were away! Haley gave the puppy a bath and blow dry after she got muddy, gave them both love and affection, slept with them every night, and even took them for an ice cream treat! She cleaned up after them in the yard! She was faithful in sending pictures and text messages of how well they were doing! We appreciate all her help! Thank you, Haley!”


9. Jaicey G.
“You will not find a better caregiver than Jaicey for your pet. She will always assure that your pet is well taken care of and loved. She watched our dog for a week while we were away, and she did an excellent job! We could tell that our doggo loved having her around. Jaicey is an animal person through and through, and we will continue to choose her to watch our pets over and over.”


10. Lydia B.

“Lydia was great! Although I requested her help with a very short notice, she was able to check in on my little Kody multiple times for the day. Kody has health challenges that Lydia was able to graciously work with. I am so grateful that Lydia could help. She truly saved the day!”


11. Valerie T.
“I have known Valerie since elementary school, and throughout our years of friendship she has had one quality that stands out to me: reliability. Valerie always sticks to her word and would be an excellent and trustworthy pet sitter/walker. She is great with pets and would make sure your pet receives everything they need and lots of love!”


12. Mairany M.

“Mariany was attentive, communicative, and gave great care and consideration for my senior dog! I would highly recommend and look forward to having her care again!”


13. Samantha R.

“Sam cared for our dogs and home for a week. I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive caring and professional experience. At our meet and greet she was engaged not only with the dogs but asked pertinent questions, took notes and followed our instructions without fail. She reported in daily with pictures and additional questions. The dogs were obviously relaxed and well taken care of on our return. The house was impeccable. Sam deserves ten stars in all areas. She’s exceptional!”


14. Mary B.
“Mary is a very calm and level-headed person, which comes in handy when dealing with stressful situations; she does not panic and allow her emotions take over; instead, she is proactive and always seeks the best possible solution. She is trustworthy and nurturing; she is always timely; and having grown up with dogs, she understands how to care for pets; she always gives her all.”


15. Elissa M.

“We have a sweet little Cocker Spaniel and a monstrous (also can be sweet) horsedog Great Dane that has separation anxiety. It has always been tough finding a dog sitter that is mutually compatible with Apollo (The Dane). Elissa was great with the boys. Apollo is usually slow to warm up to people but he seemed to enjoy her right away. Definitely trust her to watch the boys when we’re out of town.”


16. Michaela H.

“Michaela did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and bearded dragon during our spring break trip. Her communication was fantastic and she left the house in great order. Highly recommend and hope to book her for our next trip!”


17. Kathrine D.

“Katherine was great! She came over and met us prior to her taking card of my dog. She was also very responsive, good with communication, and trustworthy! I felt that my dog was in good hands while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone!”


18. Alyssa M.
“I left my dog with Alyssa when I went away for Spring Break last year!! She was so fantastic, caring and loving! Alyssa did all the daily tasks that come with caring for a dog and even sent me pictures and videos of my pup when I missed him. Out of 5 stars I would give Alyssa 6!!!”


19. Colin S.
“Colin has always had a natural affinity for taking care of animals, demonstrating patience, compassion, and responsibility in pet caregiving. He has taken care of his family pets for many years, and be it exercising, feeding, playing, etc., has always shown the utmost care for his pets. He has also been trusted by neighbors and family friends to take care of their pets when they are away, once again demonstrating his responsibility and trustworthiness. Colin has always been an animal lover and is a wonderful pet caregiver.”


20. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer has watched Shylah a few times now and I couldn't be more grateful! Shylah absolutely adores her and she takes such amazing care of her. Takes her for walks, cuddles with her and sends me so many wonderful pictures and updates through the stay. She's a fantastic person and the best dog sitter ever!”
