5. Elijah Gipe B.

“Aliyah knocked it out of the park!!!! I have an anxious girl who can be protective with some real "stranger danger" and was worried about finding a dog sitter who could form a bond with my girl to allow me to go out of town to visit relatives. Aliyah approached her in an unassuming demeanor and after a brief meet & greet, I was able to leave them alone to fetch ball and get to know each other. Aliyah agreed to make a 2nd trip to my house before I left town for a "test drive" to make sure things would go smoothly when I actually had to leave town. They formed a bond at that point and I left town a couple days later and my girl was wagging her tail & following Aliyah around on the first night. She cuddled up in bed with Aliyah and everything went AWESOME. She exceeded all expectations, I felt totally comfortable, and will definitely ask Aliyah to dogsit for me in the future. She sent me tons of pictures and stayed in regular contact with me throughout the stay. THANK YOU for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my timid anxious furbaby <3”


6. Emilia M.

“Emilia was extremely easy to communicate with and always did a great job updating us on the dogs while we were away. I can tell that she definitely made the dogs feel comfortable and loved on while we were away!”


7. Jessica W.


“Jessica is amazing - she was able to roll with some weird stuff that came up and helped me out a TON! I have already booked her for my next trips!”


8. Jasmine G.
“Jasmine has grown up in a household with many animals. She has helped me take care of rescue dogs whether they were bottle feeders, neglected, abused, or severe medical cases. She has a passion for animals that makes her an amazing caregiver”


9. Alexandra L.

“Alexandra was a SAINT! I have a Pom puppy with bad separation anxiety but Alexandra took spectacular care of her and Margot had a great time. She took great care of her, left the apartment as she found it, and even changed the sheets on the bed since I was getting home late. My neighbors texted me to let me know she was doing a great job and thought she was super nice. I’ll 100% be rebooking the next time I have to go out of town— thank you so much for loving my baby like one of your own!”


10. Saren C.

“Saren is a lovely and kind person. She took great care of my elderly dog and my goofy puppy. Dogs were happy and my house was spotless when I got home. I will definitely ask her to watch the boys again”


11. Aden S.

“Aden was very attentive and took great care of our dog. Definitely recommend!”


12. Michael W.

“Emm was an absolute delight to have watching our dogs! We know that our pups can be a bit of a handful with their energy levels, but Emm handled their enthusiasm and food aggression problems with aplomb. Everything had been cleaned and washed when we got home, which was very appreciated, and the dogs were clearly happy and well cared for, which is the most important thing to me.”


13. Reyna M.

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”


14. Blue H.
“Blue watched three of our dogs, including a not really potty trained puppy, and seemed totally unfazed. I appreciated the way they handled the meet n greet and how they provided regular updates while we were out of town. Would definitely reach out to Blue again for future pet-sitting needs. Thanks, Blue!”


15. Mattison F.

“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”


16. Becca M.

“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”


17. Mary P.

“Mary was great with both of our dogs over the weekend. She sent a ton of photo updates and seemed to enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. They’re both older and one needs medicine twice daily, which she was able to administer.”


18. Katie W.

“Katie made herself available at the last minute to stay at our house over the holidays. She was communicative and sent photos every day. Thank you, Katie”




19. Jon O.

“Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with. My vacation was so much more relaxing knowing that my dogs were in great hands. Jon house sat for me for several days and sent me a photo updates and text messages about my dogs periodically which were very nice to see. I will certainly be using Jon in the future as my dedicated to house/dog sitter! He met up with my dogs and I prior to our vacation and hit it off with them immediately, He was also able to provide daily medication and care for my 14-year-old dog.”


20. Ava P.

“Ava spent 10 days at our home and did a great job taking care of bogey as well as our home. She was very proactive with communicating with us and sending pictures so we had no worries about bogey while we were gone. She also took him to his favorite place the dog park a lot so we know he was happy and having a good time. She paid a lot of attention to detail during our meet and greet so she was well prepared and didn’t have to ask any questions while we were gone. We will definitely use her again the next time we go out of town. Thank you Ava!”
