Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

“Christina did a great job caring for my two dogs while I was away for a week. One is senior and needed some extra care and the other had some anxiety issues. Christina went above and beyond in making them comfortable, and I felt better knowing that they were safe and well looked after. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Jaclyn took amazing care of my two senior dogs for me. They can be really anxious and she was able to gain their trust. I would highly recommend her!”


8. Sheena D.

“I had the pleasure of having Sheena watch my two dogs, a lab and a doberman, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care. From the first meeting she was professional, friendly, and genuinely excited to spend time with my dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and messages which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


9. Caroline I.

“I have not left my dog with anyone before using Caroline and was very nervous as he is the most important thing in my life. Caroline not only saved his life from a loose dog attack but took amazing care of Walter. I was only gone for a few days but got constant updates and photos of my little dude. I will be using Caroline exclusively if possible and could not recommend her more highly”


10. Madeline B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Maddy as a pet sitter and caregiver! She has a deep love for animals that really shines in her interactions with them. She has a very nurturing and compassionate nature for them, and a remarkable ability to connect with them. She has a long history as a pet owner, including experience with animals with unique needs. When it comes to walks, giving medications, feeding, and giving special attention - she approaches each task with patience, attentiveness, and consideration for the well-being of the pet. Her passion and joy in doing so is highly apparent, and I know you will see the same if you trust her to care for your pet. If you are looking for someone to provide care for your pet as if their own - Maddy should be at the top of your list!”


11. Autumn R.

“I can’t be more happy and relieved having Autumn to care for my 6 cats. I had complete confidence while away as she sent me frequent updates and videos. She showed my home the same love and attention that she did my animals, loving, kind and affectionate❤️❤️❤️❤️I have found myself my new cat sitter!!!! Thank you so much Autumn!!!”


12. Nicole A.


“Nicole was fantastic with my dog Greystone, left the house spotless, and kept me updated with frequent messages and pictures! My dog loved her and they had a great time in my absence. Hi marks for being a genuine, caring individual who loves to care for our four-legged friends!”


13. Jessica T.
“Jessica co-owns a wonderful pick of the litter golden retriever with her sister. She was very instrumental in helping raise “Harley” early on before moving back to south FL from Chicagoland. She helped in the day to day tasks of puppy life including leash training, verbal commands, crate training, house behavior, diet selections and any/all interactions with the Vet and Breeder. Jessica is a smart and responsible young lady. She has always loved dogs and animals in general. Her first dog was a 16 lb cock-a-poo that she also helped raise, train and cared for. You will not be disappointed with Jessica’s abilities.”


14. Cheryl W.

“I have booked pet sitting with Cheryl many times. She is gentle, caring, and fun. Porter loves staying with her and he loves playing with her pups. He can be very anxious at times, but is always relaxed at drop off and happy when we get back. He can't wait to get out of the car when we get to her house. We have left him with her for a few days up to 3 weeks while we traveled internationally. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and competent pet sitter.”


15. Elizabeth F.

“Elizabeth was amazing with my 2 senior pups! She sent me lots of pictures and updates. It was nice to travel and know my dogs were in good hands while I was away.”


16. Dean L.
“Good afternoon, I have had the pleasure of knowing Dean for over 20 years, and I can confidently say he is one of the kindest and most reliable people I know. His intelligence, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything he does—especially when it comes to caring for animals! Dean has always been exceptional with his own dogs and has treated mine with the same level of love and attention whenever he visits. I trust him wholeheartedly to care for my pets and home when I’m away, knowing they are in the best hands. Without a doubt, Dean will excel as a pet caregiver, bringing his warmth and responsibility to every animal he looks after”


17. Peggy R.

“Peggy was great! She watched my two westies at my house while I was out of town. She communicated before and during the stay and sent lots of pictures. She left my house clean and my dogs were well cared for and happy. Will definitely have her watch them again!”


18. Laura M.
“I’ve seen firsthand how amazing Laura is with dogs—she’s truly one of the most attentive and loving pet caregivers you could ever ask for. Laura is not only responsible and reliable, but she also treats every dog like they’re her own. She pays close attention to each pet’s needs, whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, keeping them on their feeding schedule, or just giving them all the cuddles and affection they need. Dogs naturally gravitate toward her because they sense how kind and patient she is. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave a pet in her care.”


19. Maddy E.

“Maddy was a fantastic sitter for our dog when we went out of town! She also sent plenty of updates and pictures along the way, which we appreciated. When we got home, it was obvious that our dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend using Maddy!”




20. Lauren B.

“Lauren exceeded our expectations! She stayed at our house for a long weekend. We were so relaxed and got to enjoy our weekend knowing our pup was being taken care of by someone loving and responsible. She took him for walks, played all day, snuggled at night, did everything we asked of her and more. She texted us everyday and night with pictures and update. We are so happy to have found someone who feels like family. Odin can’t wait to see her again!”
