Amy stayed with our dogs for a long weekend. She did a great job caring for them and was super communicative with us while we were away. We got lots of photos and updates and felt very comfortable with the dogs in her care. Thanks, Amy!

Christine did a fabulous job taking care of my dog Mabel for the weekend. Mabel is very shy and Christine was able to help her come out of her shell a bit. She also provided many excellent updates and photos. Thank you Christine!

Grace is so great with my dogs! Especially with my anxious dog who is scared of almost everyone. She is so patient with them. She also always provides such great photos and updates during her stay.

Melina has watched our puppies (and cat) several times now, and she is always such a joy to work with! Prompt, professional, kind, and most importantly-the animals are so happy to see her! Makes it much easier to be away when we have to travel.

Spirit went above and beyond for me and my pup at the very last minute. Our original sitter had to cancel on us merely days before my partner and I left to go on a 10 day vacation so I started to message Rover sitters in a panic until I stumbled upon Spirits profile. Spirit came over the very next day for a meet and greet and the rest is history. My old pittie is a huge couch potato and just wants to snuggle, and she warmed up to Spirit within seconds. Spirit has some kind of superpower with animals and it shows. Between taking care of her, catering to her senior doggy needs, feeding her with her special diet, and overall loving Sandy, my pup is completely smitten with Spirit. She’s 100% my go-to sitter from now on! Everyone should book with Spirit for wonderful care for their sweet animal children :)

Qishu was beyond amazing! She came over before our trip to meet my animals and was lovely. She asked questions and answered mine perfectly. While we were gone she updated us with lots of photos of the animals and made me feel like they were wonderfully taken care of. Everything was clean and perfect upon our return. I’d highly recommend her!

Montreal is great with all three of my dogs! They vary in size and temperament but she deals well with all of them and they love her so much! TBH I was kinda jealous bc they were so sad when she left lol. She took them all in walks and played with them. She watched them while they were home and made sure they didn’t get into trouble. She cleaned up after them if they had any accidents. Great care all around! She’s always my go to person for dog sitting.

My usual dog sitter was booked for my trip and I found Iris. We scheduled a meet and greet so she could get to know Mimi; then she came a bit early on the day I left go on a test walk and let Mimi grow accustomed to a new dog sitter. Iris sent regular updates and it all went smoothly. I was very confident Mimi was in good hands. I definitely recommend Iris if you need a sitter for your doggo.
