1. Cole W.

“Cole watched our dog for a night at our house and was fantastic! Our dog, Shibobo, is a large, mischievous sheepadoodle, and he did great with navigating Shibobo's quirks. Cole was very responsive and kept us updated during the visit. Shibobo clearly enjoyed his time with Cole. We highly recommend Cole to anyone!”


2. Ben P.

“Ben was great sitter. He was always open to anything we asked him to do for Ollie. We got lots of pics and she looked great when we returned.would definitely recommend Ben.”


3. Gail B.

“We’ve used Gail for watching our Rue in our home, she is professional, punctual and I’m always happy she is able to help us!! I will continue to request her services!!”


4. Sienna S.

“Sienna is a rockstar and a professional when it comes to babysitting my difficult, diva dog, Anastasia. She was patient with Anastasia when she would “put on the brakes” to avoid going outside because I wasn’t home. She also took the time to send me updates regarding her behavior throughout the three days I was gone. Eventually, Anastasia came out of her shell because Sienna managed to earn her trust. I’m grateful to have found Sienna- I trust her and she is super dependable when it comes to dog sitting!”


5. Patrick B.

“Patrick did a great job with our dog. He was an excellent communicator, and we felt confident leaving our home and dog in his care. We would definitely book him again.”

“Michaela was great we couldn’t recommend her more! She took great care of our pup over a long weekend and kept us up to date with all kinds of photos and updates. She took great care of our guy and we came home to a happy dog!”

“Ana was amazing housesitting for our two pets! She sent us regular photos of their day and what they were up to! 100% would recommend!! Thank you so much!”


11. Rachel H.
“Rachel is one of the most caring and responsible people I know—truly a natural with animals. She’s looked after my pets on several occasions, and I’ve always been impressed with how attentive and loving she is. Whether it’s taking time for long walks, making sure feeding schedules are followed, or just giving plenty of affection, Rachel goes above and beyond. She’s also incredibly reliable and communicative, which gives me total peace of mind. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her as their sitter or dog walker!”

15. Tessa L.

“What started with a last-minute cancelation (from another sitter) ended up being the best situation possible! Tessa was an amazing petsitter and we are so glad we found her! She came over prior to the sit to meet the dog and cat, both of who loved her, was communicative throughout the stay with lots of pictures, and we came home to a happy doggo and kitty. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Kristina did a great job watching our pup while we went away for the weekend. He is very anxious and hates when we leave him but Kristina kept him company and watched over our house. Would highly recommend her!”


18. Larisa G.

“Second time! This time a bit longer… Larissa keeps the photos and videos coming. The place was spotless. Prompt and communicative and was flexible to our travel plans. Most importantly, there was a minor concern with the dog, she clearly explained it, took photos, and gave updates. Fortunately, vet was not needed!”


19. Kaitlin G.

“Kaitlin was amazing! We were in a pinch and she went above and beyond to make it work. Our two cats loved her right away and spent lots of time cuddle up with her. Our cats are tricky to photograph and Kaitlin took truly the best pictures we have of them. I am so glad that we found her and will absolutely use her services again!”


20. Michelle C.
