“Erica has quickly become our big guy’s new best friend! She is great with our pups, filling their high needs of love and attention, and sends regular updates while we’re away.”

“Evangelene is amazing. She clearly loves animals and is so kind and caring. I’m am not sure our senior rescue greyhound even noticed we were gone. I highly recommend Evangelene. I felt completely confident our baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kathryn is a gem! What I loved the most is that she thought about everything that an owner may want to have peace of mind while away, asked the questions to validate and understand in our meet and greet and then delivered on it. Kathryn was detailed and communicative when it came to her approach with the dogs, and how she managed her time with them. She took them on a field trip! She was conscientious in how she left the house and stayed with the dogs until I returned. I know the dogs were well taken care of and I didn't worry or ever have to initiate contact because Kathryn was so on top of it. Five stars!”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Elsbeth was wonderful with our pup. She was communicative, sent frequent photos and took him on long walks/played with him to get his energy out. I’d highly recommend Elsbeth to other pet owners and look forward to booking her again!”
“Joanna was fantastic. She is a very calm person and took excellent and thorough care of our dog and cats! She is responsible and asked the right questions to understand the care she needed to give. Everyone was happy and I came home to tidy and clean litter box and house. Hoping to have her more going forward!”
“We could not have found a better person to watch our doggies! She was very communicative the whole time. We could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle them. She put my mind at ease while handling personal matters and I would definitely be continuing to use her service! Thank you so much, Quiana!”
“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”

Anna is incredible! Extremely trustworthy, kind, attentive, and always on time. Another thing that sets Anna apart is that the quality of her care (number of updates, photos, attentiveness, etc.) hasn’t decreased over time. It’s clear Anna takes her work seriously and is very dedicated. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for great care for their pups!
Dena was a fantastic sitter for my two senior kitties. She was very professional and courteous from the start, and gave my deaf kitty and my skittish kitty all the patience and love I could have hoped for while we are away. My cat needs daily meds, and she took on that responsibility with ease. I got daily updates/ videos too ❤️ highly recommend!
Victoria was fantastic. She stayed with our elderly, sweet and very bossy border collie for four nights and took the best care of him. Throughout the entire time she provided us with lots of updates and photos and was extremely quick to reply if we ever checked in. Kramer normally is pretty mad at us when we get back from a trip, but this time it seemed like he was the one who got a little doggie vacation! We highly recommend Victoria!
Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!
I had a wonderful experience with Erica! She had excellent communication from start to finish and kept me updated the entire time. She took such great care of both my dog and my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her reliability and attentiveness, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Ellen was great! … she stayed with Jackson at my house for a long weekend - he’s just a puppy and she took amazing care of him, understanding he was still a puppy and needed some extra time and attention ! and she was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire time, she sent regular engaging updates with pictures and took such good care of my pup … 5 star service- an amazing experience …
If I could give Bri a true rating out of 5 stars, it would be 100/5. Bri dogsat our furbabies in our home for a long weekend trip… our oldest dog unexpectedly had a big health issue and Bri handled it amazingly. She went above and beyond as she cared for our sweet girl just as loving and good as we could’ve. Her communication was excellent and we can’t express how great our appreciation and gratitude is towards her. I wouldn’t trust anyone else more than Bri with my fur babies.
Serine was able to stay longer at our house than planned because we couldn't get home due to the snow and ice storm on Jan 25th. Her boyfriend even shoveled our rather long driveway--our taxi from the airport didn't want to go down our snowy one-lane street. We were so grateful that we could reassure him that our driveway was cleared. The storm was quite the disaster accompanied by extremely low temperatures. Serine kept our house and cats safe and warm. She was flexible and helpful in times of trouble. We will definitely use her again! Thank you!
