“Kayla was perfect. She was respectful of our home and very loving and caring towards our pets. I received daily pictures with updates and came home to a clean house. Will recommend her to friends and family!”
2. Joshua JM W.
“He did a fantastic job with a very difficult rescue doberman. My dog is particular about humans and has some serious trust issues, but John-Michael easily worked with her and helped put me at ease. My dog did great with him and it was obvious she was well taken care of while I was away. He was very communicative, took good care my dog and my house. I will definitely hire him again.”
3. Shannon S.
“Shannon did great with my two dogs while we were out of the country for 10 days. We were in the emergency room with one of my dogs just days before for his seizures. He takes a lot of medications and she did great with him, she also stayed with the boys nearly full time and communicated with me when she did leave. She even went and picked up my dogs prescription for me too. Great dog sitter!”

7. Ashlyn R.
“Ashlyn has watched my three dogs (2 German Shepherds and 1 Queensland), and she did a great job. Our dogs love Ashlyn, and they were well taken care of. During our week long trip away, we did not have to worry about our dogs, we knew Ashlyn would take great care of them. Ashlyn made sure our dogs were played with, fed, and had water. I would definitely recommend Ashlyn for being a dogsitter.”

I felt comfortable in our home and would certainly call her again. Thanks Grace. Roscoe and Maverick appreciated you. 🐾 ❤️”

16. Sidney A.
“Sidney was a HUGE help. We needed a house sitter last minute and she responded quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet in advance for our peace of mind. We were out of state so it was very important we had updates and communication. Sidney went above and beyond to provide photos, videos and constant reassurance of how things were going. She respected our house rules and asked for permission before anything. We appreciated her greatly and are now rebooking her moving forward🤗”
