Natalie is responsible, consistent, and communicates well. She was appreciative of the long list of pet/house sitting details we left her and followed them perfectly. She took care of our energetic 1 year old dog and our two cats. Your pets are in good hands with her.

We recently had Niko take care of our three dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we returned, it was clear that our dogs had been well cared for—they were happy, healthy, and full of energy. Niko did an excellent job ensuring our pets were comfortable and content during our absence. Not only were the dogs in great spirits, but our home was also in perfect condition, just as we left it. It was so reassuring to come back to a clean, tidy house. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Niko. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for any future needs!

My dog ​​and I were very happy with Christian. Christian is awesome, very attentive and caring. He kept me updated throughout the day with comments, photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my Scooby with Christian. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Scooby prince.

Savannah has watched my 10-year old flat-coated retriever while I’ve been away for business trips or just running late after work. She is attuned to an animals needs and specific care, if needed. She is there for a walk, feeding, and extra love! And shedding has never bothered her… which I’ve always appreciated. She’s a trusted person I will always feel safe asking to care for my girl!

Alex is great with animals! He is a super fun and energetic guy who will meet any pets needs as if they were his own. He follows direction well, no matter how complicated your pet care may need to be. He’s always sure to send updates as requested. I highly trust him with my fur babies.

Alison was great! It was our first time leaving our golden, and his first time spending even a night without his mom or dad. I work from home 99% of the time and he’s a true Velcro dog, following me everywhere. So I was very worried about how he’d do without me, and vice versa. Alison was great with him and made time to come for a few walks in the weeks before we left so she and Santo could get to know each other a bit. After we left she checked in with us and sent us photos and updates about our baby, which helped me worry less about whether he was feeling sad or abandoned. She was respectful of our home and even asked before signing into a streaming account we don’t have. And when we got stuck in nightmare traffic on I-4 on the way home from the airport, she stayed past the time booked for our stay so Santo wasn’t alone.

Natalie has been great and has taken care of our pup Murphy twice now! Murph is a quirky pup and has had some needs like meds or a special diet while she’s watched him. She’s been great at accommodating whatever the needs are and his personality. We always appreciate her taking care of him and communicating!

Adreanna was great. She came to do a meet & greet before the booking to do an introduction & see our pups routines and where there food is and such. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures & was accommodating of our pets needs. Will be looking forward to booking with her again.
