“Brandy did a wonderful job staying with our dog in our home. Our dog was well taken care of, and our house looked perfect when we arrived home. Brandy kept us updated and sent pictures every day. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her again,”


“Tara did a great job! Appreciated Tara's communication and care of our senior dog, 3 y/o 85 lbs hound, and cat. Would definitely hire her again.”


“María is always so great with our dog! She takes fantastic care of him, and always takes him on a little adventure which we really appreciate!”



“Great experience having Carolyn looking after our senior Morkie. Carolyn was professional, prompt and very responsive to my texts before and during her stay with Kevin. He is an anxious dog but Carolyn’s calm demeanour put him at ease. I would highly recommend Carolyn for your pet sitting needs and I would definitely book her again!”


“Leo was a wonderful sitter for our new shelter dog, Canyon. Canyon has had some issues with reactivity and separation anxiety so after a meet and greet and introduction walk, I was so happy to see how patient and caring Leo was with him. Its a huge relief knowing our sweet boy was in good hands while we were away and working on his issues over the long term 10/10”


“I’ve known Brandon for a while, and he’s my go-to dog sitter. Super dependable, trustworthy, and great with animals—I always know my pets are in good hands with him.”

“Tristan was very communicative during his stay w/ my pup. Sent pictures, took her on walks, and showed her all the love she asked for (she’s a stubborn husky). If there was anything he was unsure of he immediately messaged me to get clarification. Friendly and active, I will def be booking w/ him again.”


“Gretchen was great! Very accommodating, communicative, and great with my dog and 2 cats. They were well taken care of and the house was clean and tidy when I came back. Thank you Gretchen! Highly recommend.”


“Maureen went above and beyond and made my doggie and cat feel very happy and well loved. She cleaned up and left the house in great condition too! She is amazing!”


“Amanda stayed at our house for a week looking after our 3 animals! Everything looked exactly how we left it. She definitely put our mind at ease during our trip.”


“Audrey P. is a true animal caregiver and lover. She went so above and beyond to take care of my 2 fur babies during our trip and wedding. She us flexible, a good communicator, and takes lots of cute pictures keeping my mind at ease every step of the way. I will rebook her anytime I need a friend to watch my kitty and special needs dog!! Thanks for everything Audrey!”


“Great puppy sitter for my special peanuts. My dogs can be a little clingy and snuggly and we treat them like children. Allison did the same! My puppy ran out to and jumped into her car as she was leaving because she loved Allison so much. Will definitely book again!”


“Omg! Emily was such a blessing for my dogs and I. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. The dogs were super happy when I got back and she was also able to accommodate last minute requests. Both dogs have completely different temperaments and the both loved her. I will definitely be using Emily again. Thank you!”


“I was fortunate enough to have Julia as my roommate and aunt to my dog, Todd, during college. Julia took care of my temperamental pup many times while we lived together, making it so that I never had to worry about him while I was away. She always sent adorable videos of her playing with him or cuddling. Todd has some behavioral challenges and a lot of trust issues with people, but Julia easily gained his trust with a lot of patience and love (and cheese treats). Julia is very talented with animals, and I am so confident that she will do a great job taking care of other pups as well!”

“Skyla was a great pup caregiver and housesitter while I was away for the weekend. I really appreciated Skyla's responsiveness and flexibility, and recommend her highly!”


“Crystal is absolutely fantastic! She recently took care of our home, dog, and cat, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care. Our dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, has buddied up to her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. Not only did she ensure our animals were happy, healthy, but she also went above and beyond to keep my house spotless and organized. It was such a relief to come home to a clean space and happy fur babies. Crystal is trustworthy, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can depend on!”


“Jacob is a caring, responsible and thoughtful man who has grown up with taking care of pets along with other duties. He is quick to take care of the needs of pets while ensuring they receive the exercise, nutrition, and interaction they thrive on. I have full confidence in the care Jacob would provide to any pet I own.”

“Eleanor is an INCREDIBLE pet caregiver. She has cared for our Frenchie in her home (overnight petsitting when we were out of town) and also in our home when we needed daily dog care while we're at work. She is professional, caring, and responsible. I never worry that something will go wrong with her caring for our dog (who is very energetic and can be a handful to say the least). She has many years of experience as both a dog owner and caring for other family's animals. She has extensive experience with and is knowledgeable about different breeds. She understands dog behavior and the need to maintain a safe and healthy environment for any dog, large or small. Eleanor is my FIRST choice and I recommend her without any reservation! She receives 5 stars from me every time!”

“I hired Alejandra for a weekend to get a break from my dogs (8 total) and she did a great job with them from taking them on walks to caring and feeding them. She was very communicative and energetic caregiver. I would definitely hire Alejandra again not just for a simple weekend but a long service.”
