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.

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!!

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.

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 felt safe and comfortable with her and my pets in a way I have never had. She gave updates. And I felt like i was talking with my friend. I never had to worry once with our precious cargo. 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. ❤️

Melissa is always so great with our dog. He has high anxiety and she is always patient and makes him feel comfortable while we are out of town. 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.

Very happy with Joni’s care of Finn & Evie. She may have taken too good of care of them, lol, cause Finn wasn’t as excited to see me as I expected he would be. But that’s a good thing. Would definitely have Joni watch them again.

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. 💛
