1. Jacob H.

“Jacob handled what was needed for my pets. He kept up with photos for each visit, and handled some spiders we had outside. He was quick to respond and would inform us on any issues. Highly recommended”


2. Emanuel G.

“Emmanuel did a phenomenal job taking care of my three dogs while we were away. He gave them extra attention, followed instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout our trip. I truly appreciate him and glad for his prompt response.”

4. Isaac E.

“We've booked Isaac multiple times and he was excellent. We had a new dog and kitten and he came through for us and handled the new animals like they were his own. We are always able to travel and not have to worry about our fur babies because we know they will be safe and happy under Isaacs care!”


5. Allana S.

“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”


6. Tianna C.

“Lovely dog sitter! I just adopted a puppy (my first dog and pet) and she was there immediately to help. As I am sure many people around here are active duty, and she’s been very helpful and flexible checking in on my puppy throughout the day. She’s even helped out teach my puppy basic commands, would highly recommend.”


7. Susan C.

“Susan was amazing! She took good care of our boys and provided plenty of play time for our crazy guys. Super communicative and provided daily updates! definitely recommend!”


8. Erin H.

“Erin was amazing with my dogs! She went above and beyond while house sitting! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing the whole time. She is dependable & trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone. ?”


9. Elizabeth G.
“I’ve known Liz for over a decade and she’s always had such an huge heart for dogs. She’s spent so much time learning about dog behavior and the best training techniques, and she’s amazing at managing a healthy pack. She’s super good at reading their body language and knowing exactly what they need. Personally, I’ve learned so much from Liz when it comes to taking care of my own dog. If you have Liz looking after your dog, you can be sure they’re in great hands. She’s truly the best!”


10. Kayla D.

“Kayla is a very kind person who obviously loves animals, she kept me informed about my dogs and sent photos so I could relax and not worry about my dogs while I was away. I would definitely use her again.”


11. RyAnn "Fate" C.

“Fate is fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about how incredibly flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire process, which allowed for us to be able to enjoy our holidays across the country without having to worry about Tank (our dog) back at home. We spoke everyday and received lots of pictures, keeping us reassured that he was happy and in good hands. Our main ask for a sitter is to try and spend as much time with our boy as much as possible, and she really never left his side - which he clearly loved, as he was cuddling up to her in every pic we received! She is as nice as can be and left her house spotless after her stay! I would absolutely book with her again and recommend you do the same! :) Thanks, Fate, for helping make our holiday possible and for looking after our baby while we were away. You’re the best!”


12. Parris H.

“Parris was great! Shee was reliable and the dogs seemed to love her. She walked them and played with them while we were gone. Will definitely call on her again!”


13. Michaela B.

“Michaela was the best dog sitter ever! She sent me so many pictures so that I always knew what Poppy was up to, and even left me with a little souvenir polaroid of Poppy. :) She also sent me pictures of my turtles, who she wasn't even responsible for caring for. I would definitely recommend her services!”


14. Jordan R.

“I am so thoroughly impressed with Jordan and the care that she put into watching my pets that there will likely not be enough characters in this review box for me to explain how satisfied I am. From the moment I sent the booking request, she was incredibly kind and accommodating. I explained my needs, and she shuffled around her schedule in order to make sure she continued providing excellent care for the drop-ins she had booked while still being able to take my overnight pet sitting request. My dog is incredibly well-behaved and easy to love, but he has some special needs when it comes to medication and has a very strict schedule due to his anxiety in order to help him stay on track, and I’m always anxious myself when considering asking someone to stay in my home with my pets. I made it clear that she would be able to love on my cats, but that she would not need to do much for them. Over the course of a couple of days we sorted out the booking, and she agreed to it. When the day came, I had to leave town before she arrived at my house so I typed up instructions for my dog’s schedule and printed them and put them on the fridge, left my key for her in a hiding place and hit the road. As soon as she arrived at my house a couple of hours later, she started sending photos and videos of her loving on my dog and cats. Not only did she do everything I asked her to do, but she took my dog on extra walks, scooped the cat litter, brushed my dog, and even cleaned up my house a little bit before leaving. However, the true “above and beyond” factor comes next. Towards the end of the 24 hours or so I booked her for, I expressed that it would be extremely helpful if she could stay for another night, but I would completely understand if she couldn’t. She did. She stayed an extra night and she dropped my dog off at the groomer the next morning on her way home. This was such an immense help because I was out of town for an important appointment and stressed enough without having to force myself to drive home when I was so exhausted that it would not have been safe. I have already asked her if I can book her for several days at the end of January when I leave the state for a work event, and I know that my pets will be in amazing hands when I do. I would recommend her to anybody. She is respectful of your space, pets, and needs. She is very communicative. She is trustworthy, kind and empathetic, and most importantly, very passionate about the animals in her care. I came home to a clean house and very happy animals, and I had an invaluable peace of mind the entire time I was gone and she was with them. I am so glad that I ended up booking her and I will be booking her many times over.”




15. Payton G.

“Payton is such a sweet and responsible sitter.I would give her 10 stars out if 5 stars!! It was my first time asking someone to watch our dog or use this app. I've contacted several sitters and she was the most reliable and quickest person to respond to all my inquiries.She even offered to have a meet and greet beforehand which gave me such a relief that I could know who would take care of our dog, and how they could get along in advance. While she did a dog sitter, she offered way more than what we asked for and it made us feel that she really cares our dog and treat him like her own family. Word can'r express how great her service was. I would definitely use her service again!!”


16. Luis A.
“Luis Azcona is the most passionate and patient individual I have ever met. His love and affection for animals, let alone dogs, is unfathomable. He absolutely adores working with dogs. In addition to loving animals, more specifically with dogs, he's always seen it as an opportunity to add to his active life style. I highly recommend Luis Azcona as a dog sitter, especially as a dog walker.”


17. Alexis B.

“Alexis was fantastic with our pets and spoiled them while we were gone! We could tell they had a great time!”


18. Alexis B.
“Alexis is deffintly an animal lover. She stops for any cat she sees on the street to pet them. She helped find a dogs home and help the family get the dog some vet care. She is great at caring for animals!”


19. Chan B.

“One of the best pet sitting experiences we’ve ever had! He was so accommodating and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Boss made a new friend for sure and we will definitely be booking with him again!”


20. Emma H.
“Emma is a fantastic pet caregiver! She's incredibly responsible and has a natural love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing my pet is in her care. Highly recommended! - Chan B.”
