“Once again, we entrusted our energetic pooch, Truman, to Kevin's care, and once again, we couldn't be happier! Kevin's professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication to Truman shone through, just like the first time. Despite Truman's slight behavioral quirks, Kevin expertly managed him, ensuring he received the exercise and attention he needed. Returning home to find Truman relaxed and content speaks volumes about Kevin's dedication and skill as a pet sitter. Regular updates and photos kept us reassured throughout our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Kevin, for another fantastic experience!”

“Erin is THE BEST!!!! She literally came to the rescue when we had an emergency need for a pet sitter- we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and were in a bit of a panic. Erin jumped in and truly saved the day! She is a wonderful communicator, she sent us photos and updates the entire time we were gone. She was quick to respond to all of our questions. Our house was left spotless and most importantly our babies were all happy and healthy when we got home. She truly treats your pets like they are her own! We could not recommend her more!!!”
“I had a last minute trip come up and Mari went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day after I contacted her. She was very attentive when I explained daily tasks and she asked insightful questions that showed she really knows animals and wanted to make sure my cat was happy. She sent me updates every day and always responded to me right away. Thanks so much, Mari!”
“Gabby was wonderful! Our dog is an easy-going guy in our apartment but has a lot of anxiety around strangers and new things. Gabby was patient and attentive with him, extremely communicative, and respectful of our house. She went above and beyond to give our dog plenty of walks and love while we were gone. Highly recommend Gabby to care for your pet while you're away! :)”
“Sarah was great! So easy to work with to schedule a meet and greet, and sent lots of updates while we were away. She also was extremely flexible and stayed later than anticipated (even offered an extra night) as our flight was delayed coming home. I’m often worried about leaving our Olive, but I know she was in great hands with Sarah. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Another great visit from Julianne who stayed overnight with our dog, Harley! I was so happy to receive pictures overnight as well, knowing she was in good hands :)”
“Jason did a great job housesitting for us and watching our dog. He reached out a ton with pictures and updates so we knew our dog was doing well. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible adding on extra time so we knew that if we ended up delayed again, our dog would be safe. Thanks Jason!”
“Sophia was amazing - hands down the best, most attentive housesitter we've had! We have 3 dogs and a cat, including a senior dog with several conditions and lots of meds, and Sophia did a fabulous job keeping things normal for our critters for the week we were away. Everything was exactly as expected when we returned, including our senior dog who was in a great shape and looked the picture of health!”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Rana is exceptional! She is so kind and her love of animals is obvious. She was available at the last minute to take care of our 5 month old puppy for two weeks! She is easy to communicate with, responsive, sent cute pictures of our pup every day, and took great care of our home. I was so worried about leaving such a young pup (who also had an injured leg) and Rana made me feel at ease and I was so grateful we found her. We can't wait to have her pet sit again -- and we've already booked her for another stay!”
“I CANNOT say enough on Haley's AMAZING SERVICE!! She took such great care of my Jake for the weekend Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are a gem!”
