Alessandria did a great job keeping my dogs safe and happy. I appreciate that she was able to be flexible on times as I wasn't sure with the weather if we were going to make it back on time. The house was left neat and tidy, and she helped prepare for a bad winter storm coming.

Syndi is a very nice young lady who got along really well with our 3 dogs and 4 cats. She did overnight stays with our fur babies. Cleaned up after herself wonderfully. I felt very comfortable leaving my precious pets with her.

Cameron was amazing. My dog is very nervous and doesn't open up to anyone new, not even sitters I've had for years. As is her usual, I told Cameron she likely wouldn't even come out of her crate for him, but I got pictures of her playing tug, getting belly rubs, and lying by his side. I was astonished. Cameron checked in regularly and sent tons of pictures and videos. Highly recommended.

Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.

Sia sat for our young dog at our home for a long vacation and she was wonderful! Teddy loved her, she provided regular updates and photos . She worked with him on playing fetch and taught him “Stop” while on walks. It was comforting to know our dog and our home were well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend anyone else to use Sia if she is available.

Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties - especially because one of them is elderly and had a health emergency the day before we left. Undaunted, she gave him two kinds of medicine daily and treated both of them with loving kindness. Sent great photos every day. We would not hesitate to trust her with care of our home and pets again in the future.

Avery was a phenomenal house and pet sitter for us! She took care of our dog, and three cats for the weekend, and I'd never had such peace of mind when leaving our fur babies. She gave an update per day, but was willing to give more if asked, and our house was clean and exactly the way we'd left it when we returned. We're definitely booking with Avery again!

Sol is an incredibly thoughtful and caring sitter. We were traveling a good distance away from home, and naturally anxious about leaving our animals behind. To top things off, one of our dogs injured herself the week we were leaving and needed medications to help with healing and pain management. Sol took great care with our pup who needed medications and kept us up to date on when she had had her doses and when she had completed them. He also took care to not exercise her too soon, at our request, and kept us up to date on her condition once he did start walking her. Sol was a great communicator while watching our animals, and he sent us such amazing pictures of our pets. They definitely didn’t seem to miss us that much! We would absolutely have Sol care for our animals while away again!

Corey did well with my crew on an extended trip, also took care of the house, even when asked to do a few extra things. Everyone was happy when I got home. Would have liked more detailed updates such as how they were eating or doing, and he went a little rogue on treats that I didn’t want them to have, but overall everyone was happy when I returned.
