“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”

“Dee did a wonderful job staying with all my animals, spending so much time with them, sending many photos, and providing updates each day with how they were doing. I definitely hope to rebook with him in the future.”

“Victoria was great! She showed up on time and gave us updates throughout the day to let us know everything was going good. It was so nice having peace of mind that our Jinny was being taken care of and not alone:) Thank you, Victoria!”

“Sara is absolute ROCKSTAR. Our Mookie absolutely loves her. He had his 2nd stay with her and we could tell he had a blast. He normally doesn’t eat the most consistent but he did with Sara. We loved all the updates and pictures we got through the stay. Sara always leaves our home like no one stayed there and we will continue to use her for all of Mookie’s stays. As a French bulldog owner it can be very hard to find the right “fit” but we know we have it with Sara!!”

“Our minds and hearts were at ease leaving our girls and home in Sydney's hands! We have a geriatric Great Dane who needs help up and down and all around, so we had Sydney do some house visits for a few weeks leading up to our big 9-day trip to get them acclimated [the smaller dane is a piece of cake :) ]. Sydney went above and beyond to clean the yard and pick up the house even after all the stinky messes I'm sure she encountered at all times of the day and night. We already have Sydney lined up for a few more events and are so blessed and lucky we found her! (But please don't steal her time from us lol) THANK YOU, SYDNEY!!!!”

“Gabriella was amazing and everything we needed for our cat! She understands the importance of animals with more complex needs. And she was very available during our time away to be here majority of the time with our kitty. We will 100% be using her again!”

“Maggie was outstanding. She had a lot of fun with Karma, and provided regular updates and photos. Extremely professional. I highly recommend her. Will use her services again!”

“Alora arrived on time and was wonderful with our 12 year old golden retriever. She is competent, trustworthy, communicative (before and during the house sitting) and caring. All attributes that helped us feel at ease with leaving Riley in her care. We will definitely call on her again.”

“Selina was great with Cooper! She gave him 100ml of IV subcutaneous fluids daily. She’s dependable and sent pictures while we were gone! Definitely will use her again!”

“Liz did a truly wonderful job of taking care of our two year old rescue golden. She helped Holly navigate her nervousness around our absence - it was the first time we left her to travel. But with Liz, she did great. Liz walked her every day, helped her stay on her routine, played with her and made her feel loved while we were gone. The most important thing for us was that Holly was not alone over night and Liz was happy to stay overnight with Holly for our entire trip. Liz made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease with her phenomenal communication during our trip. Every day, she sent pics, even videos, to keep us updated on all of Holly's adventures. When we got back, the house was spotless, our plants were thriving (different from their usual state!), and Holly was happy. We have another trip on the horizon in a couple months and we will definitely be booking Liz again. Thank you so much!”


“Lily was an amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of both of our dogs. She kept me updated with how they were doing and was fantastic when one of them had arthritis issues while I was gone. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Super friendly, asked all the right questions to make sure my little old lady would have everything she needed. Got pictures and updates. Will 10000% be calling Ariana back for our next trip.”

“Adriana took the best care of our two dogs this weekend. She provided us with many pictures and updates of our dogs throughout her stay. She was prompt and very helpful. Definitely someone I would trust to watch my dogs and home again!”

“We had a great experience with Annalyn dog sitting our 2 dogs at our house for a few days. She was very proactive in her communication and sent pictures on a regular basis. She was very respectful of our home and spent a lot of her time here with our dogs making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely use her again and refer her to others.”


“Aubrea is a kind, considerate soul. She took the best care of my fur babies on a holiday weekend. Upon my return, my babies were happy and my home was as if I had never left. She is responsible, communicative and honest. I could not have asked for a better sitter. From out meet and greet to our last communication, I knew she would be a good fit for us. I will utilize her services in the future. Thank you, Aubrea!”

We went out of town for 11 days and trusted Brianna with our home and pets. She sent frequent updates and pictures of our dog and 2 cats. One of our cats is shy and Brianna won him over with patience. Brianna listens closely to instructions, but is also very self sufficient and has a personality that I know she could figure anything out if needed. She left the house clean and washed towels. We have a new pet sitter that my pets trust! Thank you, Brianna!

5-Star Review: An Absolute Gem of a Puppy Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Lily highly enough. From the very first meeting, it was clear that my pups were in the most loving and capable hands. As someone who worries endlessly when leaving the room (especially with my dachshund’s back issues always in the back of my mind), I felt immediate peace of mind knowing they were with her. She was incredibly thorough in every way—detailed daily updates with photos and videos that captured not just the basics, but their little personalities shining through. She followed my instructions to the letter on feeding schedules, medication if needed, potty breaks, and playtime, while also adding thoughtful touches like extra cuddles, gentle enrichment activities, and even some light training refreshers. My pups came home happy, exhausted in the best way, and clearly well-cared for. What truly sets Lily apart is how extremely caring she is. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her—it’s a genuine passion. She treated my dogs like her own, checking in proactively and even sending me a sweet summary at the beginning, middle and end of the day with tips for next time. It made being away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond with professionalism, warmth, and true animal love, book with lily without hesitation. She’s a true dog mom at heart and an absolute lifesaver. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry babies—we’ll be back! 🐾❤️

Lamar was great! He easily bonded with our dog. We were glad to have a sitter staying at our house since we only adopted our dog 3 weeks previously and wanted her to be able to stay in familiar territory. He sent a video and msg daily and the house was clean and in order when we returned. We enjoyed him personally and would readily schedule him again.

As always, Kaitlin does a great job of taking care of our animals and house! We appreciate the daily updates and cute pictures/videos, and coming home from a trip without having to do any chores other than unpack. We always feel confident that our animals are being cared for and loved with Kaitlin!
