3. Taylor B.
“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!”
4. Alexandra J.
“I found Alexandra through a FB group. I had very specific qualifications I was looking for because I have a very anxious pit breed who is on the extra care side. We haven’t booked a sitter in almost 2 years because of a bad experience, so we were hesitant when looking for someone new. I can now confidently say that fear is 100% gone. Alexandra not only provided comfort and reassurance to our home and our boy, but she was thoroughly experienced with large breeds who had anxiety and trust issues. She was professional and understanding, we could not have asked for a better sitter for our baby. We are so happy we found someone who we trust. She came and had a play date with Raider before hand and spent time with him so he could become comfortable with her and gave him the best care throughout the whole week we were gone. You will not regret using her for your pup or any of your animals. We could not recommend her enough and are so happy to reuse her for all the times to come. She updates you extensively through the whole stay and you will not have to worry or stress AT ALL your whole trip. She is amazing and I cannot thank her enough for the weight she has lifted off of our shoulders.”

8. Sindy V.
“Sindy was phenomenal. She was very communicative and took tons of pictures. Any problems that arose, she took in stride and handled well. I came home to some happy animals! I really appreciate all that Sindy did.”
9. Grayson H.
“I have a cat named Mana, Grayson took care of him for 2 weeks and did an amazing job. He sent me updates and pictures every day and confirmed that he followed instructions, Mana needs a medication for his eyes and Grayson gave him his medication with no problem. I would definitely recommend his services! He was kind to me and my kitty and has a clear love for animals.”
10. Emily P.
“Emily met with me a week or so before the booking to discuss my dog and so I could show her around the house. She was communicative through her stay at our house. It was my first time having someone stay in our house while watching our dog, so I had some questions too which she was very informative.”
11. Emily K.
“When I need to be away from the home, I know Emily is who I need to call! My dog Spott loves her so much! She always make sure he is well fed and played with. This is especially amazing since Spott has an insane amount of energy! He’s a big dog yet that doesn’t faze her at all! I know that if I ever need to go anywhere, that Spott is in capable and caring hands with Emily. I will always have Emily watch Spott, because no one else takes care of Spott the way Emily does!”
12. Gwendolyn P.
“Gwendolyn met and far exceeded expectations. She kept in touch through out our trip, sending pictures and letting us know everything was good. She even cleaned the house. I would highly recommend her services and have her take care of our fur babies/house in the future.”
13. Heidi F.
“Heidi was absolutely fantastic! She did an amazing job of taking care of our house and doggo. She played with and walked our pup multiple times everyday. Our pup is fully deaf which can be challenging at times, Heidi was kind and patient, learning the hand signs we used and gave our pup many thumbs up for good behavior! Will definitely use Heidi again!”
14. Brigitte B.
“Highly recommend Brigitte! She promptly responded to the request and suggested a pre meet. She kept us up to date on relevant info with the pups and sent photos and vids of their activities. We will be booking with her again. Thank you Brigitte :))”
15. Anastasia N.
“Anastasia is responsible and super responsive when it comes to getting in touch. She is really caring for her own dog, and loves to care for others too! She’s incredibly trustworthy, and she does a great job with my dog too.”
16. Daphni T.
“Daphni was great, and I appreciated the extra flexibility on the day I was supposed to come home.”
17. Brianna A.
“Brianna was super helpful and patient with my little senior pup and myself! She sent a ton of pictures and updates on how my pom was doing throughout the week or so that I was away. He had some stomach issues and she kept me posted as well as went above and beyond to keeping my apartment clean having to cleanup the result of those stomach issues! A++ I will be booking with Brianna again in the future.”
18. Aubri K.
“Aubri was the absolute best! She followed all directions and loved our dogs! I cannot recommend her enough! She sent many pictures while we were gone. We love that she played and walked them as often as we would. Happy dog parents and dogs!”
19. Brenda R.
“Brenda is truly loved by my pomeranian bear. Brenda is always reliable and on time. My pomeranian bear is an energetic, rebel fur ball that keeps Brenda active. I recommend Brenda because she gives me peace of mind knowing my fur baby will be taking care of.”
20. Michelle P.
“Michelle is a blessing! This was our first family vacation trusting our pets with someone and we couldn’t have made a better choice. She’s loving, caring, diligent, handled a variety of different kinds of pets (dogs, cats, fish, rabbit, guinea pig) and even clipped their claws and cleaned their eyes and ears. Can’t recommend enough.”
