“Our dog, Peabody loves having Meric sit for him. He gets all the cuddles and attention. Meric is great at administering Peabody’s allergy shot, too.”
3. RACHELLE W.
“We have an older anxious cat and a new puppy so Rachelle had her hands full but handled it beautifully! Rachelle is extremely communicative and responsive. I felt super comfortable with Rachelle staying with our animals while we were away- so much so that we have booked her for another weekend coming up. She asks a lot of questions and really cares about keeping our babies as comfortable as possible while we are not there. We had Rachelle stay in our home and she was very respectful of our place- may have been cleaner when we got home than when we left! Thanks Rachelle!!”

16. mila S.
“Mila is god send. I have a 13 year old blind diabetic dog with a degenerate disease who requires a lot of attention (eg insulin shots, medication administration, requires home made bfast amongst other things). My wife and I have stopped traveling for a bit as it is very difficult to trust that someone will take care of our dog the way we do (any mishap can send her to urgent care). We read Mila's reviews and background and felt that we could give her a try (she sat our dog at place) and we are happy we did. She sent us pictures, status updates and even stayed 2 extra days when we got stuck in Chicago do to flight cancellations. When we got home, our dog was clean (no eye boogers, no pee smell, etc) and calm (dog is really anxious). She truly took care of her as if she was her own fur baby! She left my apt spotless! Even bought us a candle. Booking her again for all our travels. We know we are leaving our dog in trusted hands.”
17. Chole M.
“Chole is a great sitter and kept in communication with us throughout the time we were away. Would definitely call on her again in the future!”
18. Pearl O.
“Pearl does an amazing job with what she does. She asks all the questions necessary to be sure that she is properly caring for your pet which I truly appreciated. She’s also a very fast learner with learning my diabetic dogs schedule and understanding what he needs. A super regimented schedule is required to care for my pup and she did an absolutely amazing job at keeping that schedule going. I would definitely recommend Pearl to care for your pet and home (we did the house sitting option) she rarely left Duke alone for more than 2 hours which really allowed me to have some peace of mind while out of town and she sent photos of Duke and his insulin paperwork which was fantastic. Thanks again Pearl! We will see you soon (:”
19. Lindsey H.
“Lindsey was the absolute sweetest with my dog Janie. She sent tons of pictures and updates and was super easy to work with. I would absolutely have Lindsey stay with Janie again!”
20. Kandy B.
“Kandy took great care of my dog! He was relaxed and happy when I got home and seemed to have been having a great time with her! She took him on walks and sent lots of pictures.”
