Leaving Zeus with Angie was the best decision we made. She’s not just reliable—she’s warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. From the start, I could see how much she cared. She treated Zeus like he was part of her own family, and that level of care made all the difference. Zeus is a sensitive dog. He’s usually very shy, doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, and struggles with separation anxiety. He’s also not the most social when it comes to other animals. But somehow, Angie managed to connect with him. Within just a few days, I could see a shift. He looked relaxed, at ease, and even comfortable hanging around her cats, which is a first. Angie kept me updated every day with photos and videos. I never had to ask—she was always on top of it. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and in good hands. It honestly felt like Zeus was on his own vacation while we were away for 10 days. This was hands down the best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter. Angie is someone I’d trust again without a second thought.

Neide was perfect. My family and I went on a trip for 4 days and she picked Melo up and took great care of him. She sent me pictures of Melo and constantly gave me updates on him. Melo got home safe and happy to be home. Highly recommend Neide

I had an amazing experience with Akshay. He took excellent care of my dog, Bagheera, and treated him like family from day one. Akshay made sure Bagheera got his daily walks, meals right on time, and plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how he asked questions in the beginning whenever needed—showing how responsible and attentive he is. He also sent daily updates, photos, and little notes about Bagheera’s mood and activities, which kept me completely relaxed while I was away. Another lovely part was Akshay’s dog, Sirius. Bagheera and Sirius became instant buddies! They played, relaxed, explored together, and honestly, it feels like Bagheera came back home with a new brother. Overall, Akshay is reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy Person. Your pet will be in wonderful hands!

Nicolle and Ronaldo did such an Incredible job at watching my dog Pimento! Nicolle updated me every single day on all the activities they were doing with him & included time stamps for the entire day! Pimento went on daily runs, had plenty of potty breaks, I was given meal updates, play time videos and more. They were so incredible, extremely reliable and I’m so thankful Pimento was taken such good care of! It’s obvious how much Nicolle & Ronaldo care for the dogs they watch as if they were their own. I will be booking Nicolle & Ronaldo from now on. Thank you so much! Pimento had the time of his life! 🐶🐶

Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.

I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

I have had the same dog sitter for the past 7 years & I was so hesitant to find a new one. Thanking God that we found a new local Dog sitter. We couldn’t be more elated with the care our dog received. From the moment we met Caroline, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Her sons were phenomenal with Dolce & he instantly became attached to them. Our dog Dolce came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Caroline & her sons went above and beyond to make sure all of our dog’s needs were met, including exercise, attention, and maintaining their routine. Their professionalism, communication, and kindness exceeded every expectation. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet is priceless, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. We would recommend Caroline without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with them again. Five stars isn’t enough!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Gigi received! Gigi is a micro American Bulldog, and this was the second time she stayed with them. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure Gigi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gigi came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved during her stay. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but they exceeded our expectations both times. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Gigi—we will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️

I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!

I recently booked with Jamin, and I can honestly say it felt like a true blessing. I’ve been raving about this experience to anyone who will listen! For the first time ever, I was able to go on vacation without constantly worrying about my dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. Jamin went above and beyond, keeping me updated with plenty of videos and pictures, which made it so clear that my dog was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your furry family member, Jamin is simply the best dog sitter you could ask for. Thank you again, Jamin—I’ll absolutely be booking with you again!

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.
