“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.”

“Orlando always takes great care of my dog and my house. He is responsive and sends pictures to let Me know how my boy is doing. He goes the extra mile and strips the bed before leaving I definitely recommend him”

“Chloe did a great job watching my dog. He was fine at first but later got a little defensive and uneasy. She handled it really well, figured out how to work with him, and kept him comfortable. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates and check-ins they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and reliable sitter”

“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!”

“We were super anxious about leaving our dog and home but Liz made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt comfortable with here the moment she met us and Gizmo! She kept us updated with pictures of our dog and how he was doing throughout the day. I would recommend Liz to any one needing a house/pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you Liz. You rock!”

“Maya took great care of my baby for the weekend and updated me frequently. She stayed overnight & made sure he had lots of outside time and cuddle time while I was gone! We love her!”

“Jacob was amazing!! Very flexible when it came to our pups and us, having to leave our airbnb to head to a hotel and watch our babies in the new place. If I could give him more than five stars on here I would! Our puppies loved him! Absolutely would ask him to watch them again if we are ever in town!”

“Alyssa did a wonderful job and took such great care of our dog! She left our home in stellar condition! She sent us lots of photos and updates, which was much appreciated! She walked our dog and did lots of play time! We would definitely recommend Alyssa!!”

“Riley was amazing! She quickly got my anxious Collie calm. I had Riley house sit. All the critters were in great spirits, happy and content. House was neat and tidy. She communicated daily with pictures. I highly recommend her!”

“John is the very best of them when it comes to house/ pet sitting! His thoughtfulness and loving nature shine through allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our pets are loved and well cared for. Booking John for repeat sessions is a no brainer!”

“Kenzie took good care of my dog and cat while I was out of town on a trip. There were a lot of trip ups - my dog got hospitalized before our trip and I had an awful flight delay at the end of the trip. Kenzie came back out to take care of my two when I wasn’t going to make it back for a while. I appreciated everything she did to help me!”

We were super anxious about leaving our dog and home but Liz made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt comfortable with here the moment she met us and Gizmo! She kept us updated with pictures of our dog and how he was doing throughout the day. I would recommend Liz to any one needing a house/pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you Liz. You rock!

Andrea was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Owen and Aster while we were away, and knowing they were in such good hands completely relieved our stress. Beyond the pets, she took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We will definitely be rebooking with her!

Emanuel is excellent!! He is trustworthy and wonderful with our 2 senior dogs. Very reliable and caring. He is our new ‘go-to’ sitter!! Want someone to care for your animals and your home. Emanuel will not only be a good choice but goes the extra mile! 5 stars all the way!!

Hailey is so wonderful! She kept me updated with messages and pictures the whole time, and I could tell my dogs really love and trust her. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter, and she blew me away! So happy to have found someone I can trust my cherished fur babies with.

RyAnn is so wonderful with my animals. She watched them with love and care. She goes above and beyond for them. My 13 year old golden retriever is afraid of fireworks and RyAnn stayed by his side through the whole night comforting him. She wound up falling asleep comforting him. She is amazing. I would recommend and next vacation I take I will be booking her again.

Alexis was great! We have only left our girl with family in the past, so we were nervous to leave her with a new person at first, but Alexis made us feel comfortable that Millie was going to be spoiled while we were away (and she definitely was!). Thanks Alexis for making us feel at ease, we didn't have a single worry about her while we were gone. ❤️
