“Allie did an amazing job with our labradors. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She went above and beyond for us! I’m pretty sure our house is cleaner now than when we left on vacation. Nothing better than coming home to happy, well cared for pups. Thank you Allie!”
4. Chloe F.
“Chloe was absolutely amazing! I immediately got good vibes at our meet and greet. She was so attentive with my dog Nancy. She sent me multiple photos a day, was very responsive and gave Nancy all the love and attention she needed. Chloe really went above and beyond. I’ve already booked her for my next trip. She’s a diamond in the rough.”

10. emily f.
“Emily provides stellar care for our dog, and her communication and followup match this as well. She took care of some extra watering of outdoor plants in pots that would have otherwise crumped in the heat over the last week, and additional care of our dog (toothbrushing, not everyone's cup of tea but it's part of his nighttime ritual). We returned home to a house as we left it and a happy dog. Very grateful for her good care.”
11. Helen C.
“Celeste was wonderful!! She took care of my pack and I’m pretty sure they miss her more than they missed me! I will be booking in the future :)”
12. Scott L.
“Scott was a blessing. He asked all the right questions, genuinely cared for our two pets and took care of our house as it was his. A kind person. We would welcome him at anytime”
13. Liza W.
“Liza was a great dog/housesitter! I have a fairly sensitive dog and she understood him well and he was happy and engaged during the entire visit. She was also very communicative and sent me regular updates. Would 100% recommend.”
14. Emily B.
“Emily stayed at my apartment with my kitty while I was out of town and was wonderful to work with. She left the place spotless and provided very detailed updates during the stay; she puts a lot of gentle effort into meeting your animal where they are at and appreciating their unique personality. I came home to a very happy, playful fur baby and am looking forward to booking Emily again in the future!”
15. Elena W.
“Elena watched our house and cats at very short notice. She was super easy to communicate with and we’d love to have her watch our cats again!!”
16. Lauren R.
“We loved having Lauren as our cat sitter! She sat with Beau throughout the day so he wouldn’t get lonely, and was a great communicator. When we got back from the trip, our cat seemed very relaxed! Would def recommend Lauren and will use her in the future ?”
17. Kiera U.
“Kiera was great and left my house spotless! She sent lots of pictures and updates of my dog and cats and I could tell they were well taken care of!”
18. Claire M.
“Claire took excellent care of my reactive pug Lulu. They went on lots of walks and played with all Lulu's toys. Lulu seemed content and tired after her "staycation". Would definitely have Claire watch Lulu again.”
19. Kinsey S.
“Kinsey took excellent care of my senior cats, treating them with care and attention. The house was left in immaculate condition and I would 10,000% book with Kinsey again.”
20. laura j.
“Laura is absolutely wonderful! My dog and cat were so well taken care of and my apartment was spotless when I returned. I received tons of updates and photos on how they were doing and they seemed so happy with her. She is super sweet and thoughtful, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care. I would recommend her to everyone!”
