“Wonderful sitter. Easy going and took great care of our pets while we were away. Will definitely hire again!”


2. Sarah V.


“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”


3. Breanna G.

“Breanna has been so great and reliable watching our dog Judy a few times now. Very communicative and sends lots of pics. We feel super confident leaving our anxious pup in her care!”


4. Khelsi W.

“Khelsi was fantastic - highly communicative, prompt, and so warm and cuddly with the dogs. I also appreciated that she came through on short notice. We definitely hope to work with Khelsi again!”


5. Maciyah D.

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”




6. Annika R.


“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


7. Jordan K.
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! He took care of Sloan (my dog) as if he was his own. This is something I look for as Sloan is the most important thing to me. Jordan is gentle, reliable and efficient. It's very obvious he's a big animal lover. Highly recommend!”


8. Randi K.

“Randi was excellent! My non-Rover catsitter was on vacation and I needed someone last minute. Randi saved the day! She made sure my cat didn't get stressed out and lonely while I was gone and greatly reduced the risk of him tantrum vomiting in my absence. As well as keeping an eye on some things around the house for me. I would not hesitate to call on her again!”

When she enters my home both of my pups are over the moon excited to see her! She follows feeding instructions, sees that they get their medication if needed, and keeps them active and safe.”


13. Karen H.
“Karen h is a truly amazing dog sitter! It can be stressful to find someone you trust with your special friend! Our dog is hard to get people to sit for because he’s a true handful. Not only does she take the stress out of finding a dog sitter she actually makes me feel like she enjoys his wild personality! I’m so grateful to know someone like Karen exists! Her love for animals is so apparent. Your doggo will be in such good hands!”

I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”

I would definitely recommend her to babysit/walk your pup anytime!”
