“Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️”
“Mira was amazing! We very last minute needed a dog sitter and she responded very quickly which was so helpful! She came by met Ace before hand which was appreciated greatly. She was very sweet, professional and was very willing to accommodate to all of Aces needs. She stayed at the house and left it just as we had left it. No mess or trash! She followed all instructions to a tea and also sent me pictures of Ace throughout the day and that was super nice! I would highly recommend her!”
“Autumn was a professional and extremely great with our dogs. She stayed at our home for four days with our two small pets. We got constant communication and picture updates. It was a great feeling to know things were under control at home when we were on our vacation. We highly recommend Autumn. :)”
“I could not have found a better house/house cat sitter than Brie! I was a bit worried being gone for 12 days. Especially for my former feral, shy kitty. Brie knows animals. She even got my shy one to let her pet her. Sounds small, but that's huge! She also left the house perfectly clean, washed all the bedding, bath rugs and towels which made coming home relaxing. I think I'll be making more travel plans in the future and I'll definitely be hiring Brie!”
“Lehia took on a lot with our old dog, medicine 3x/day, old did antics and set in his ways. She communicated extremely well and we felt diesel was in safe and secure hands. Highly recommend her”
“Josh was very attentive and great at communication. Our dogs and house were well cared for. He even went above and beyond by taking our trash to curb without being asked. Would definitely recommend Josh to others.”
“Karley was amazing with our golden retriever, Dierks, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned! I especially appreciated how accommodating Karley was with schedule changes that happened last minute. We would definitely recommend Karley and will be booking with her again!🤩”
“Char was amazing!!! Boris has a slightly annoying regimen of medications and she took care of it no problem. I got multiple pictures every day - and he clearly enjoyed himself. I came home to a very happy pup. I will most definitely have Char watch him in the future!!”
“As always, wonderful with my dogs! Follows instructions great. Came home to happy dogs! Kellar is very easy to communicate while he is sitting, which is very important to us! He will be back later this month. :)”
“Used Thomas again for house/dog sitting for an entire week and felt incredibly comfortable with the care he was giving our pups and our house. So, so nice to have him stay there and give us updates and the dogs extra cuddles and treats.”
“Sana is the best! My apartment is always in great shape and I can tell from the pictures she sends that my cats love her. She is a really good communicator and definitely my first choice to watch my cats whenever I am out of town.”
“Aurora took great care of my puppy during her overnight stay! She was very quick at getting back to us and we were confident she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Aurora to anyone needing animal care! ?”
“Makayle responded promptly to my inquiry and communicated clearly the entire time watching my pup, Mikka. I know Mikka loved having a companion while we were gone and got lots of love as shared in photos.”
“First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.”
“Marika is excellent with dogs! I have 2 high energy young dogs. She played with them in the backyard playing catch & wore them out! She also sent several pictures during the day. I highly recommend Marika & will defintely have her again!”

“Taylor was great! We had her stay at our apartment for 4 nights with our two dogs. She left the place clean, sent lots of photos, and even scooped snow off our patio. We highly recommend and will be using her again.”

Landon did a remarkable job. He stayed at our house taking care of our 2 golden retrievers while we enjoyed a 10 day holiday. We did a one night trial run a few weeks before our long trip to make sure everything would go well and it did. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was great when we returned. He was a great guest who washed his sheets and vacuumed the floors! We will definitely be using Landon for our future travel time.
Hope is an absolute gem! She cared for my kittens like they were her own! She is very patient, kind hearted and has a way with animals. She was very thorough with all instructions and sent me updates and pictures during her 5 night stay with Jupiter and Gemini. I will be booking her again!
