“Emelyn was super great with our two pups! She was easy to get in touch with and the dogs loved her. She left things clean and organized and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.”

“We had another great sitting experience with Addie. I appreciate how well she communicates and the photos that she sends. Dogs were happy and well cared for upon return. Thank you, Addie!”

“Sarah took such great care of all our pets. Her updates and pictures were one of our family's favorite part of our trip. Our animals definitely seemed to enjoy having her here more than being boarded.”

“Mary did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs! She showed up promptly, paid attention carefully to all our instructions, and sent pictures. One of our dogs is a 3 month old puppy and required a lot more intensive oversight and Mary handled him with no issues.”

“Mary Grace is just the best! This is our second time using her and our cat is getting more and more comfortable with her. Mary Grace is extremely thorough and communicative and we feel great knowing our cat (and house) are in great hands while we’re gone.”

“Kylie did a great job! The boys were well taken of care of and communication was great. Can’t thank her enough for helping us on short notice.”

“Angelee is the best! She made our first time leaving our dog, Charlie, with a sitter a breeze and she will be our first call for all future pet sitting needs! We came home to a spotless house (with a washed and made guest bed even!), received frequent updates while we were gone, and never once worried about Charlie while he was in her care. She is communicative, prompt, so friendly, and clearly loves animals. Angelee worked to keep Charlie’s routine and environment consistent while we were away. Charlie got lots of walks and playtime. He clearly loved Angelee as he was looking for her in our guest room after we got home! It is such a relief to find someone who you can trust with your pet and your home. Angelee goes above and beyond! Cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

“Dina was awesome as usual! She loves our puppies as if they were her own and communication is top notch. We are always so happy when she can watch after our pups in our home when we are out of town!”

“Megan was great! It was so nice to have the dogs be able to stay in our home and be taken care of so well. She fed our two dogs each night, gave them needed medicine, played outside with them and sent us frequent updates with pictures. She left our home tidy and clean. What a relief to not have to worry about our dogs while on vacation.”

“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

“Susanna is the absolute best!!! She is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and loving human. There was an instant connection with her and I. And her and our pets.

I knew they were well loved, and well taken care of. She’s just the most magical human. Bringing a sense of calm to our entire household. ❤️”

She also sends us photos throughout her stay with him so we can see how he is doing. She also is a wonderful house guest and leaves our home just as she found it. Truly love having her take care of our dog while we are away.”

Mary did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs! She showed up promptly, paid attention carefully to all our instructions, and sent pictures. One of our dogs is a 3 month old puppy and required a lot more intensive oversight and Mary handled him with no issues.

Anna was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our house while we were away and went above and beyond every single day. She collected our mail, kept the house tidy, and took incredible care of our dogs. Our collie mix can be highly emotional and needs extra attention, and Anna was truly "the dog whisperer" with her — patient, calm, and clearly attentive to her needs. Both dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time. She sent lots of photos and communicated so well throughout the whole stay — I genuinely didn't worry once, which never happens when we travel! That alone speaks volumes. We can't recommend Anna highly enough and will absolutely be booking her again. She treated our home and our pets like her own. 💛

Jessica was a wonderful housesitter while I was out of town. She provided updates about her visits, providing times she would be there, as well as pictures of my cat. I really appreciated her fantastic communication and the way she took care of my cat and house! I found her to be honest, thoughtful, and great with my cat!

Taylor took great care of our dog Murphy and our home while we were out of town for our son's wedding. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing Murphy was being well taken care of. Taylor even washed the sheets and towels she used during her stay and vacuumed too! I highly recommend her!!!
