1. Andrea D.


“Andrea was great! She came over to meet the girls prior to staying, and made us feel at ease when meeting them and asking questions about their routines and habits. She stayed with the girls and was communicative and let us know how it was going and sent pictures while we were away!”


2. Novaleigh T.

“Novaleigh is an awesome pet sitter. She communicates in a professional and responsible manner and I feel so secure leaving her in charge of my dog and my home. She took great care of Dakota. He was happy when we came home and the house was clean and beautifully cared for. We have Novaleigh at the top of our list for future sitting needs.”


3. Dennis & Judy A.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dennis & Judy, my dog Mac loved them at first sight and my 2 cats (who usually don’t like strangers) warmed right up to them. Judy sent photos throughout the day and everyone looked very content. They definitely will be my “go-to”sitters. Needless to say, I highly recommend them and will be booking them again.”


4. Sarah E.

“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog, Sadie was so calm and well-cared for when we returned home. Sarah was very good about texting updates and sending pics. I will definitely contact Sarah next time we need someone to care for Sadie.”


5. Sarah M.

“Very attentive to my little Lunar and Lunar was well cared for.”


6. Cherie M.

“Cherie did a fine job with my two small dogs. She exercised them in the house and took short walks twice a day. I was delighted she accepted the job, since cats are her focus. I would happily use her services again. She was kind to my pups and to me!”


7. Lynzi B.

“This was the first time we used lynzi and she was amazing we came home to happy animals and a fresh house we got daily updates and pictures we will definetly be using her again”


8. Stephen D.

“Great pet sitting service. This was the first time I left my pup with a pet sitter that he didn't already know (aka a friend). But he did great! Stephen was super kind and met with me prior to the date even though it was last minute. His wife was also super nice!! Their house is nice, clean and sway from the main street which is always a plus. My drop off and pick up hours were all over the place and he was very accommodating and open to all the last minute changes. I'm happy I went with Stephen, especially since he seems like a total dog/animal person. When I dropped my pup off he even got on the ground with him and chased him lol That was sweet to see. I know my fur baby must've had a great time! He even sent me pictures during their walk. I'll definitely go with Stephen again in the future! Thxx again!!”


9. Tonya U.
“10/10 Recommend Tonya to anyone to be a pet sitter or a dog walker. I am Active duty Air Force and recently got deployed to the Middle East. My deployment was supposed to be 7 months but due to Covid-19 I got extended two months. Tonya was able to watch my dog for me. She would send me updates on him and would take him with her on their camping trips and walks and trips to the river. She has been super flexible with me since I am military and she treats my dog as if he is a member of their family. I wouldn't want to leave my dog with anyone else.”


10. Kelsey B.


“My pets were well cared for by Kelsey and I didn't have to worry at all while I was gone on vacation. I also received updates on how they were doing while I was away.”


11. Neva A.

“Neva took care of our dog, cat, and frogs while we were out of town for the week! She provided photo updates and made sure to leave the home clean before leaving. We would be happy to have her come by again.”


12. Anna M.
“Anna is an amazing, empathetic human being that will give your dog lots of love and affection. I have trusted her with my animals before and they always came back happy and healthy!”


13. Clara F.

“Clara was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and cat and communicated with us really well. Would ABSOLUTELY book with her again!”


14. Jamie F.


“Jamie has sat a few times for me. My dogs love her and she's great with them (2 large high energy dogs). She's reliable, communicative, and responsible.”


15. Ellie M.
“Ellie has taken care of my dogs, Leo and Jack, for a few years now. She’s the only sitter we trust and the boys love her! Leo is an older gentleman and she’s so responsive to his needs. Jack is a giant scaredy cat and she does such a great job of comforting him. Both are so happy with her. She also takes the best update pictures! Ellie is the best.”


16. Camille W.

“Camille was really flexible and willing to roll with things as the timing for my trip changed a bit. She provided updates and photos and she had some great play sessions with my cats! Will definitely be having her back!”


17. Tiffany C.

“Tiffany was amazing! She sent lots of updates via photo and video so let us know how our pets were doing and she treated our house with respect and left it very tidy! We will definitely use her again!!”


18. Austin H.

“Austin is a great guy. He bonded with my dog quickly, kept me informed via text as to how things were going and left my house in great shape. I highly recommend using Austin as your pet sitter.”


19. Darian D.


“Darian is very dependable and conscientous. He took excellent care of my senior dog, shy cat, and tortoise. He is the real deal when it comes to caring about pets and wanting to do his very best. I appreciated the photo updates and quick response to any questions I had. I highly recommend Darian and hope to have him care for my pets again on my next trip away from home.”


20. Tamara S.

“Tamara took extra time leading up to our trip to learn about the walking and eating routines for our dogs before we left for our holiday trip. We really appreciated her wanting to understand these details so that she could continue to provide the same environment for the dogs while we were away.”
