3. Theresa C.

“Theresa took exceptional, loving care of our 2 dogs. Great communication. I will definitely request her services in the future when we travel.”


4. Angela W.

“This was our second time trusting Angela with our Shelby and she was amazing. Her daily updates were to comforting and it was clear she totally "gets" Shelby and genuinely cares about her. She was able to stay at the house and not leave Shelby alone for long periods of time which is exactly what Shelby needed. When we got back, she had gone above and beyond and stripped the bed and washed a blanket. Finally, and most importantly, she's just a delight. Her upbeat manner is a joy and added to the fun of getting daily updates. We will definitely hire Angela again.”

6. Tyler G.
“Let me start by saying that both my fur family and my human family love when Tyler comes over. We have had him care for our pets on multiple occasions, sometimes just coming for an hour in the afternoon when we are gone all day, sometimes staying in our home for a several days at a time. Our dog is a huge fan of the endless belly rubs, and our cat loves the quiet quality time, on the sofa, next to Tyler. I take comfort in knowing that Tyler reads and follows the instructions I leave, and always asks questions when he's not sure of something. As long as he is around, we know our pets are happy, plants are watered, and home is safe.”


7. Anna G.
“We were so lucky to have Anna Gallant as our pet sitter. She gave loving, attentive care to our dog, Frog, and our cat, Tiana. She played with Frog and gave him belly rubs plus the medicine that he needed. She made sure that he was well taken care of. Tiana was not friendly to Anna at first. But Anna persevered and Tiana grew to love her and enjoy when she pet sat her! We couldn’t have left our pets in better hands!”


8. Thea J.

“Thea was absolutely wonderful! Great communication, wonderful with the pups, kind, tidy and responsible, I can't say enough good things! I can't recommend her enough and will be calling on her first as I need an in-home sitter going forward.”


9. Jesse R.
“I can't say enough good things about Jesse! He took amazing care of my dog and cat, while I was away. My puppy can be energetic, and my cat has specific needs, but Jesse handles everything with patience, care, professionalism, and he is trustworthy. He shares regular updates, photos, and could I could tell my pets were in loving hands. He will treat your animals like family. No matter what kind of pet you have, you can feel confident that they will be well cared for. Highly recommend!”


10. Tara N.

“Tara sent beautiful photos of my girl, and it is obvious just how happy she is. Tara is knowledgeable about dog care, and identified a potential ear infection right away, and our vet told me she did all the right things and it cleared up the next day. I completely trust her with the care of my dog and my home and will definitely book with Tara again.”


11. Jeffrey V.

“Jeffrey was so great at house sitting Gwen! He arrived on time, sent text updates, played with and fed our little fur baby, and made us feel at ease! Thanks, Jeffrey, I would recommend you to anyone!”


12. Jonathan H.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.




13. Robin L.

“Robin (and her husband) were absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I were extremely skeptical when it came to the app—as I’m sure most people are... but my experience was amazing. Robin and her husband kept us updated throughout our entire trip, and also sent pictures and videos so we were able to see our puppies! So thankful for having used them and would 110% recommend to anyone!!”


14. Elaina S.

“Elaina did a wonderful job of caring for my two cats when I was away for a week. She is reliable, punctual, follows instructions carefully and truly cares about pet welfare. With Elaina caring for the cats, I would feel 100% confident that all was being done exactly as I would. One of my cats is elderly and recovering from an illness and so required extra attention, which Elaina managed perfectly. Elaina is a fantastic and trustworthy pet sitter. Five stars, 100% great!!”


15. Kira D.

“Kira was absolutely amazing. She stayed at the house to watch our kitties and pups - she sent updates regularly - we just felt so much at ease and were able to enjoy our time away knowing our little ones were getting the best of care and attention.”


16. Kaylee B.
“When I consider pet care there are several criteria that I begin with. These include work ethic, personality, responsibility, attention to detail, and how the candidate handles my dogs. Kaylee checks all the boxes and then some. Her love of animals is obvious, but she is also firm with them. The dogs understand that Kaylee is in charge. In the end my best test is how my dogs respond, and they love and trust Kaylee. So we do too.”




17. Stephanie F.

“First overnight with Stephanie watching the boys. We had a great experience and came home to a happy dogs! She has great communication and I had complete confidence leaving her in my home with the dogs. What a relief not having to worry!”


18. Madelynne A.
“Madelynne has been caring for our two dogs, two cats and chinchilla for several years now. She typically cares for them when we wont be one for an extended time (24hr or longer). She understands their individual personalities and needs very well. When we return home all of the animals are happy, well fed and exercised, and there are no accidents in the house.”


19. Jenna C.
“She's fabulous! My cats both loved her, they actually came out of their hidey holes her first day watching them! The 2nd time she watched them they didn't even hide! She was great about staying in touch with us about them and sent pictures. PLUS she watered our plants, we didn't even have to ask!! We will have her watch our fur & leaf babies again!”


20. Keleigh L.

“Keleigh is the best! She is so kind and so good to my puppy. She takes penny for walks and also provides me multiple updates. She also made my living room look more together!”
