1. Melissa Z.

“Melissa and Nicholas kept us updated with daily communications and pictures. Upon returning the pets were comfortable, which is a good indicator that they were comfortable with Melissa and Nicholas. Everything was clean, linens were washed, which was nice after a long travel day. They took care of the house as if it was their own. Our babies have unique routines, and Melissa and Nicholas didn't blink about accepting the challenge.”


2. Milo J.

“Milo did an excellent job watching our puppy while we were away! He communicated very well, sent us updates and photos, and kept the house neat. It’s clear how much he loves and cares about animals and we would gladly have him back to watch out pup!”


3. Mia S.

“Mia was great! Having her stay with my cat allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. She sent pics daily and assured me everything was ok. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to stay with your fur babies!”


4. Josie S.

“Josie took amazing care of our sweet dogs over Thanksgiving. I had peace of mind that they were loved and cared for. She sent lots of pics and was very responsive. We had to add on one more day to our trip unexpectedly and Josie was very accommodating. Will definitely ask her to take care of our dogs again!”


5. Marissa O.


“Marissa was wonderful with my anxious pup overnight! She did a really thorough questionnaire during our meet and greet to make sure Mazels routine could be done smoothly during my trip. She showed up right when she said she would and took excellent care of my dog and my house. Will be booking again!”


6. Ashlynn C.

“Ashlynn took great care of my dog and my home while I was away. She was very communicative and easy to work with. I highly recommend her services.”


7. Miranda H.


“Miranda did a great job with Elsa and Red. We thought they would be sad the whole time we were gone due to a blip in our routine and schedule before we left for the weekend. Miranda knew both pups needed to be outside and boy, did that make a difference. We came home to two dogs that were ready for our routine to start again. The house was clean and we got smiles from our dogs. We're planning on scheduling her with the pups next time we go out of town. :)”




8. Alyssa C.

“Alyssa was so amazing with Mac. She was very responsive and sent texts throughout the day.”




9. Patrice B.

“Trice is awesome! She gave excellent care of our pets and communication was 1000%! Trice is a trustworthy animal lover!”


10. Cassidy M.

“Cassidy was so great! She was very communicative and attentive to my dogs. I could tell the doggos were well cared for. She was also flexible- I ran out of meds for one of my dogs and she was willing to run to my vet and pick a refill up. The house was also clean and tidy when I returned. Would for sure rebook”


11. Sarah E.

“Sarah was amazing with our two dogs. She sent so many pictures and took wonderful care of our home. She even comforted our pups when fireworks were going off and walked them each day. She was able to give one of our dogs a pill each day as well. We can’t recommend her enough! We will be using her again!!!”




12. Elena S.

“Elena walked Bowie as agreed, kept in touch during our trip, and when we returned home, Bowie seemed happy and well cared for. Our neighbor noted that she took Bowie on longer walks, not just around the yard, which was nice to hear. We would use her again.”


13. Megan Z.
About: Sienna, my Vizsla-lab mix, has been an enriching and important part of my family for over thirteen years. She’s been with us since she was a puppy in California to moving across the country here to Howell, Michigan. She is quite the Velcro dog, and she sometimes needs extra reassurance doing basic activities like going for a walk, getting a shower, eating, and drinking water. Now that she’s an elderly dog, modifications have been made for her such as helping her up the stairs or keeping her bed on the main floor so the climb up the stairs isn’t too strenuous on the joints. My dog’s anxiety and old age have equipped me better to care for dogs with extra care needs. My cat Teddy has been with us for almost four years now! As a kitten, she hid up underneath a friend’s car and survived the drive all the way to volleyball practice. When she was discovered, my sister and I eagerly took her in. Throughout my life, I have owned a variety of other animals including fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, and now hermit crabs. I love all animals whether they’re big or small, cute or ugly, young or old. <3 I’m currently working part time and attending college part-time, but I will still have plenty of time to play with your dog or cat! I am very flexible time-wise for whatever is most convenient for you and your furry friend! I have used a leash for multiple large breeds for bathroom breaks/walks with no problem. I will bring a treat outside with me if the dog is known to be reluctant to return inside and doesn’t require a leash (electric fence, etc). Cats in my home are strictly indoors.


14. Brian H.

“Brian is great! He asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet to get an idea of my dogs needs. He’s really good with my senior dog who needs frequent trips outside. I definitely recommend him!”


15. Tessa M.
“Tessa did an amazing job with my overly needy and anxious furkids! I rarely leave them and was nervous about the two nights away but I immediately felt comfortable leaving them in Tessa’s care. Our home lost power the second night and she handled the rest of the dog sit with no issues! I will not hesitate to book Tessa for all my future out of town plans!”


16. Katie L.
“My name is Mallory and Katie has dog sat for my dog Sirius multiple times. Katie would stay at my house, take him on walks and spend the night with him while I was gone. I also have a cat and Katie would spend time with her and feed her while I was gone as well.”


17. Breanna W.

“Breanna was so good with my Bentley bear! She was on time and very communicative. My dog has separation anxiety so it was nice to see him relaxed with her. Highly recommend 🙏🏼”


18. Patricia T.

“Patti was awesome! The best dog sitter we’ve had, communicated throughout our whole trip, sent lots of pictures and videos and updates! Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! If you need someone who cares she’s your girl! Thank you so so much for taking care of my babies!”


19. Sarah R.
“Sarah is one of the most caring, responsible, and attentive dog sitters we know! She has been in the care of our pup multiple times and as a dog mom herself, she goes above and beyond for any and all animals. Sarah's attentiveness and fun personality make us feel so comfortable keeping our dog in her care. Her dog Harvey adds an extra layer of fun for our dog when she comes to stay! Would highly recommend Sarah a million times over!”


20. Emma S.

“Emma was great, she kept us informed with pictures and texts without my asking. I really appreciate this, I have had sitters that didn’t unless I asked. Our dogs were very relaxed when we got home after a week away, which is very telling for me.”
