1. Shawnee S.


“If we could leave 10 stars we would! Shawnee is amazing! Our babies loved her, and she took such great care of not only our babies but our home as well. We had some unexpected appliance issues arise while we were away, Shawnee was great about communicating with us and letting us know not only what was going on, but stepping in and making sure that everything was taken care of as if it was her home. She reached out every day and let is know how our pups were doing, and took amazing pictures, and sent us multiple pictures every day. We cannot express our gratitude for everything that Shawnee did for us, and how well she cared for our babies, they were so happy and well cared for. Of course it's never easy to leave your pets when you go away, but moving forward when we travel and can't take our pups with us, we will be reaching out to Shawnee to come back and take care of them, we know that we have nothing to worry about when Shawnee is caring for our pups and our home. Thank you Shawnee you are AMAZING!!!!”




2. Mikayla B.

“Mikayla did an outstanding job taking care of our three Boxer dogs! She was responsible, thoughtful, kind and dependable. We will absolutely use her again to take of our pets. We came home to a clean home and happy dogs after a week in Cancun. We had such peace of mind knowing Mikayla was taking great care of our dogs! Thank you, Mikayla!”


3. Christian W.

“Christian helped us last minute when we had a family day trip planned for months but one of our dogs had emergency knee surgery and all of a sudden couldn’t be left alone. He was incredible!! Kind, attentive, and followed all directions to a T! We will be using him again 100%!”


4. Skyler A.

“Skyler was great. Our baby is 16 years old and senile. Skyler was so patient and caring for her. I trust her totally and will book her again.”




5. Kendra N.
“Kendra is an avid pet lover and will make sure your pet is cared for with with so much love. Anyone would be happy to have her because she cares so much about doing a good job as well as her love for animals.”


6. Vanessa H.
“Vanessa is a very loving and caring animal lover! She always makes pets smile and they always get along with her after meeting for a few minutes! I feel that she is perfect for watching other people’s pets because she would give them her full attention and play with them for hours until their owner came to pick them up and to me that is great customer service to the pet and owner! I would definitely recommend her as your dog’s caregiver”


7. shannon k.
“Shannon took wonderful care of our dogs in New York, regardless of the weather, for 7 years, until her relocation to Florida. Our previous dog Walter, who had special needs and our current dog, Callie, both became quite attached to her. Both were /are large dogs - 97 and 84 pounds. Shannon is just a wonderful person and an amazing dog walker. We have been unable to replace her and miss her very much. Highly, highly recommend her to care for your pets - she will treat them as if they were her”


8. Jack S.
“Jack has cared for our dogs for years. We felt at ease with him taking care of our 3 fur babies. He spent time when he came over to exercise them and feed them. He did not just run in and out but spent time to make sure they have human contact and love. When we have arrived back from trips they are happy and healthy. He is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend! Emily S.”


9. Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”


10. Sia M.

“Sia did a great job with my dog. Thank you!”


11. Mickey M.


“Mickey is awesome! My fur baby lives her. She takes her on long walks and spends quality time with her. She will always be my first choice sitter!”


12. Avery S.
“Great with animals! Understands their needs and is very active with them. She is responsible and reliable! Loves to be outside when it’s possible! Thanks!”




13. Janet V.

“Janet did a fantastic job caring for our sassy corgi and our anxious hound. She is very caring, professional, and trustworthy. She provided regular updates and pictures of our pets, which was a comfort while we were away. We highly recommend Janet to care for your pets.”


14. Alison N.

“Alison recently house sat for us while we traveled out of town for a wedding and was absolutely wonderful! We have a senior cat and two dogs, who don't always take quickly to new people. Alison was extremely calm and patient with their initial barking antics until they settled. It's clear she's had experience with many types of animal personalities and is extremely comfortable as she gets to know new fur babies! She always responded quickly and clearly, kept us updated throughout our trip, and cleaned up flawlessly before leaving. We will definitely request Alison again! :-)”


15. Felicia S.

“Felicia was so great watching our dog! She offered to do a meet and greet beforehand which was really helpful in making me more comfortable with having her in our home and seeing that our dog was okay with her. Felicia took pictures and some videos everyday, and sent them to us. She took Abby on a few hikes/walks and I really appreciated her involvement in doing that. I totally recommend Felicia! We’ll book her again!”


16. Joy W.

“Joy was wonderful to my two pups! She kept consistent communication with updates and pictures. She kept my home nice and clean and treated it like it was her own. We will be re booking her! ❤️ thanks Joy!”


17. Rachelle S.


“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”


18. Jasmine N.
“Jasmine is an amazing dog sitter. She is a true animal lover and treated my dog like he was her own. She sent me plenty of pics and videos and I never felt out of touch with what my Pug’s day was like. It was so nice to not have to worry about my baby while I was away. I will definitely use Jasmine again in the future. She is a true gem.”


19. Madison D.
“I have a bull terrier mix and an Airedale, and corgi. They have such Distinct personalities that it’s hard to manage them all. She took care of them for a week while I had to travel for work and she absolutely was amazing. Amazing communication from Madison and my dogs were happy and vibrant through photos and when I got home. I’ve used Madison since then. I highly recommend.”




20. Luciano B.


“This is our 2nd time booking Luciano and we felt so comfortable having our dogs in his care while we were away. It made our vacation that much more enjoyable. We will definitely book again!”
