“Brittany was absolutely amazing! We received photo and daily updates that were excellent, detailed, and effective at putting our minds at ease that our dogs were doing great. As an extra bonus, her photos are so good! Our house was well cared for, clean, and she even washed her sheets and towels before she left. What a professional! We are very happy customers and would definitely book her again.”
16. Adriana V.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Adriana for a dog-sitting position. As someone who frequently travels for extended periods, I have entrusted Adriana with the care of my Doberman, who is three years old and quite timid around strangers. Adriana has consistently demonstrated her ability to connect with my dog in a way that puts him at ease. Her patience, kindness, and understanding of my dog’s behavior have made her an invaluable asset during my absences. She is not only reliable but also genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, ensuring that they receive the attention and care they deserve. I have complete confidence in Adriana's ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for any dog she watches. I highly recommend her for any dog-sitting opportunities, as I believe she will exceed expectations and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners.”
17. Lauren W.
“Lauren provided in-home petting sitting for my two french bulldogs. I couldn’t be happier with her service! She asked great questions, was prompt with responses, sent super cute update photos, and kept my pets and home very safe and happy. My pets can be anxious when I’m gone, but I can tell that they were very comfortable with Lauren! It is obvious that Lauren loves dogs and cares for each as if they were her own! She kept my house spotless and even watered my plants! Words cannot express how thankful I am to have found such a thoughtful, attentive dog sitter (she is also a lovely, kind and funny person).”
18. Ashley L.
“Ashley was a great pet and house sitter while we were out of town. She was very communicative, sent us daily updates and even helped us out with a couple of house requests. Will definitely be re-booking!”
19. Brent S.
“Brent did an amazing job taking care of my place while I was gone! When we returned from our trip all of our pets were well taken care of and then place was cleaner than when we left. He also sent plenty of pictures and updates daily. I will no doubt use him again.”
20. Thomas H.
“Thomas was great. He was very prompt in response in scheduling a meet & greet with our pack. He communicated thoroughly throughout his stay house sitting and provided updates throughout the day with adorable photos of our pups. I would definitely recommend his services and we will absolutely be using him again.”
