“Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!”

“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Ryan did a fantastic job with our dog Shannon! Shannon is our only dog and we have no children so we are always overly anxious when we have to leave town. Meeting Ryan at the meet and greet put me at ease about leaving Shannon here in Tampa. She sent us pictures regularly during our trip and gave us daily updates on how she was doing. Ryan stayed at our apartment which was spotless when we returned to our very healthy happy dog. I’d highly recommend Ryan as a trustworthy and genuine caretaker for your pet!”
“Jess has watched my dog several times now and has been amazing every single time. Dependable, loving, and truly someone you can trust with your pet and home.”
“Celeste was amazing. She connected with our pups (especially our trouble maker puppy 😀) and communicated frequently with us regarding how they were doing while we were away. Would definitely use her again to watch our pups.”

“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”

“Other than our miscommunication about the arrival time (it was our first time having Ryan stay with the kids) he took great care of our Big Easy & Winnie! Thank you 🩵”

“Kailee was amazing with Bear! She took him on many walks and spent every moment with him knowing he has anxiety. Bear loved her so much he actually slept with her. We will def be asking her to pet sit again.”

This is our second time booking with Leah and she is fantastic! She stayed over during our wedding weekend and a few days before one of our little guys hurt his back leg. She kept an eye on him while keeping us updated. Very responsible, great at communicating, left the house clean, 10/10 :)

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia

Julia and Eric are absolutely incredible, and we’d give them 10 stars if we could. After a near-death experience at a boarding facility, I haven’t left my dog with anyone other than family for the last 2 years. My family is 4-6 hours away though, and I needed to find someone local I could rely on. Julia and Eric sent routine updates with lots of videos of everything they were up to with my dog, and he was genuinely so happy and upbeat in all of them (and was actually eating his food too!). I couldn’t have felt more at ease while being away. They’ll 100% be our new go-to sitters!

Met Angela through Rover, she is absolutely incredible, I was nervous leaving my senior dog, as he is typically at home or with close friends. She handled him with warmth, compassion and expertise. I came home to calm and happy dog. She skillfully handled my trip emergency definitively recommend her!

Bryson stayed at our house to watch our GSP for the weekend. He kept us updated throughout his time with our dog and took great care of him. Our dog is very high energy so it was great to find a sitter that is used to all types of temperaments. The house was clean when we got back home and he even washed the sheets. We will definitely be asking Bryson to watch our dog again in the future!

I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.
