“Julie is the absolute best! She dog sat at my home for 9 days, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Julie went out of her way to build a relationship with my sweet girl, Lumi, who was rescued from abuse and neglect and can be reactive, barky, and nervous. Julie is a true dog-lover, and it shows in how much care and professionalism she puts into her dog sitting and walks. She more than willingly took the time to learn all of Lumi’s little quirks and how to manage meds, walks and adventures, etc so that they could have a fun time together. Julie sent photos and updates everyday, and I could see how content and happy Lumi was spending time with her. I’m so thankful to have found Julie, and I look forward to booking her again in the future!”

“Skye was wonderful with my two dogs. She stayed at my house for a few nights and I came back to the house looking pristine, and the dogs happy as ever! I would most definitely recommend her to every pet owner.”
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”

“Megan did an extraordinarily beautiful job kitty sitting with Rosie. She was there for Rosie in all the most important ways, giving her truely undivided attention. She gave Rosie whole assurance that she was completely there for her, taking care and overseeing all her needs as well as being truly a faithful companion and a dear playful friend which she needed. Megan has a special intelligence and truely a deep for working with animals. She brought constancy in the way she followed through with everything she did for Rosie. I would most highly recommend her as a kitty sitter Megan brought an invaluable intelligence to the job. She brought invaluable skills to the job with a deep understanding for Rosie’s needs.”

“Amy is always up for anything you need done and quick to stay in touch! She's once again saved our weekend, and extra props for doing so during Helene and having to work our generator. Thank you so much Amy, would be a missed opportunity to not book you ❤️”

“Natasha was a dream petsitter. Easy communication, positive vibes, and clearly competent with the dog/cats. She’s quick to respond, very communicative, sends tons of pictures, and responsible. I would recommend her to anybody looking to make your vacation as stress free as possible. Thank you Natasha!”

“Beth did a great job of taking care of Goose! She gave me regular updates (including photos and videos), my pup seemed happy, and the house was clean when I got home. Would definitely use her again!”

“Jackie did a great job house sitting and watching my cat, Penny. She is quick to reply to messages, sent photos every day, and left the apartment super clean! I would recommend her highly and will use her services again!!”

“Sara was so welcoming to Tashi. She took him for walks and let him nap on the couch. He stayed 2 nights while we hiked in Zion. He was happy and refreshed when we picked him up. I highly recommend Sara and using this service if you are exploring the National Parks that do not allow dogs on trails.”

“JC was wonderful with our dogs and a fantastic house guest! She was very timely and easy to communicate with. We needed her last minute and she made a meet and greet happen before hand. I loved receiving daily pictures and videos of my dogs playing and snuggling with her. Would highly recommend her!”


“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

“Alice was such a joy to work with and so good with Sadie. I got pictures while I was away and multiple check-ins and updates daily. We even got a great supplement recommendation from Alice for Sadie’s joints. She’s very knowledgeable and caring. Sadie and I will welcome her back in our home to house- and pet-set any time! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.”

“Our second time using Becca to sit with mister pickles and I can tell he was not missing me very much at all! He can’t wait for her to come back in fact he’s already asking me when my next vacation is 😅.”

“Laura is wonderful. I feel confident leaving my pup in her care. She keeps me up to date with pictures and any happenings while I’m gone. The best compliment I can give is that when I leave Zoey with her I am completely at ease that she is loved and well cared for while I’m away.”

“Luna can be a bit funny with new people, being pretty anxious and not wanting to be petted. Hannah was patient with Luna, adjusting as needed to try to keep Luna as comfortable and less stressed as possible. Eventually, Luna calmed down and was sleeping in the bed with Hannah and allowing pets, which means she was finally comfortable with Hannah. The daily updates with pictures gave me peace of mind while I was away from my pup, too! I will for sure use Hannah again for future dogsitting needs!”

“Johnny was just fantastic!! So friendly and he kept in contact throughout my entire trip, sent video and pictures, watered plants and picked up mail! Will definitely ask again!!”

Hannah is simply amazing. Rogue was well cared for as was our home. Hannah went above and beyond caring for Rogue. She communicated daily with wonderful pictures and spoiled Rogue with extra long walks and lots of outdoor play time. She even made sure there were clean linens upon our return and offered to stay late as our travel plans were significantly delayed (Atlanta 🙄). Thank you Hannah and we hope you will care for Rogue again.

Lends did a marvelous job housesitting with my two small pooches, Molly and Theo. I adopted Molly from a shelter at 4 and 1/2 years old, sick with Lyme's Disease and broken teeth, and she has issues of abandonment, so I was worried about this first time leaving her. Thank goodness for Lyndsi! She was very gentle and patient with Molly, who now has a new friend. I would rehire Lyndsi in a heartbeat and definitely recommend her.
