“Makayla took such great care of our Golden, Mack! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how the weekend was going. She was very respectful of our home and I think Mack had a great time. Would definitely have Makayla watch him again in the future!”
“We have never left our dog before with a sitter and our first time leaving was for about 10 days. Hannah helped relieve any concerns of ours with her reliability, consistent updates and house sitting support. I could not recommend her enough for anyone worried to leave their beloved pets in her hands. Will book with her again now that we feel we can travel more with such an amazing sitter.”
“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our dog and home! Excellent communication and lots of photos and videos, we look forward to having her care for our dog again!”
“We cannot recommend Christy enough! She’s super communicative and took care of everything! Even when the wind took out all our patio furniture! She’s so caring and was proactive with everything she did. Thank you!!!!”
“Val is the best! She’s watched our girl a couple times and has taken such good care of her. Val is also an awesome communicator, sending updates and photos daily. We’d love to have her stay again.”
“Dana was a fantastic sitter for us! For both our pups and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and we'd love to have her back again. She's very responsible and communicates well, and our pups seemed to really love her.”
“Lauren was wonderful! I came home after a week away to a perfectly clean home and happy dogs. She sent photos daily, communicated effectively, and I couldn’t be happier.”
“Mia is so sweet with our furry family members. We’ve booked Mia twice, now, and both times we came home to happy pets. The first booking was for 2 weeks and Mia even took care of the patio plants! The house always looks amazing when we return and our two dogs + 1 cat act as if we’ve been gone for only an hour. We highly recommend Mia.”
“Christina was a wonderful dog sitter for my older pup! Communication was great, she sent frequent updates, and (most importantly) Merle was well-cared-for and completely relaxed when I got home. My house was in meticulous shape when I got home - I could barely tell anyone had stayed there. Would absolutely recommend Christina and already plan to rely on her for future travel.”
“Savannah has watched my dog in my house multiple times now, and each time is absolutely perfect! It’s so nice being able to be gone for a week and know that my dog and my house are being well taken care of.”
“Javier was great with my 2 big dogs and cat. While the cat box didn’t get cleaned, everyone was happy when I got home, which is all a pet mama can ask! He left the house in great shape as well, even stripping the bed he slept in. I’d absolutely rehire Javier; he’s a wonderful soul that animals respond to. They’re in good hands with him.”
“Heather was amazing! She kept us updated and sent us pictures and videos of our dogs every day. Our golden retrievers loved her and were well taken care of. She walked them every day and we have never felt comfortable with any sitters previously doing that. We highly recommend Heather, if you are looking for a devoted dog lover, she's the best! Also, when we returned home we were very happy, our house was clean and tidy like we left it.”

Our five-year-old Springer Spaniel enjoyed spending eight days in our home with Larisa. She took her for long walks, played with her and worked with her "four-on-the-floor" training we've been working on. There was no transition when we arrived home, everything was back to normal, which was very nice. For us it was nice not to have to leave her at a kennel. We will call Larisa again.
We can't recommend Megan enough! She was so thoughtful and caring to our dogs while we were out of town, providing extra special care for one of our dogs that was recovering from a small injury. Her daily updates made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even offered to pick up poops in the backyard! If you're looking for a quality sitter, look no further!
Bailey did a great job and left our house clean and tidy! I would definitely have her sit again. Her communication was good, specifically responded immediately when I contacted her (which I understood as wanting to give us space during our vacation, but being ready to reassure us when necessary :) ).
Kaylea did a fantastic job dog sitting our german shepherd, Frieda, for 11 days. It was not an easy gig for her and she handled it in stride. First, Frieda chased a bunny under the deck and cut her face (in character), requiring a late night emergency vet visit. And second, we encountered a flight cancellation flying home internationally, which added 2-days to our stay, and Kaylea didn't hesitate to extend the her stay. Even without dealing with these minor disasters, Kaylea took great care of Frieda and kept us up to date and took great care of our home. Would recommend and use again.
Lila pet sat our 6 month old puppy for a week recently and we had a great experience. We felt very comfortable with having her in our home and confident she was taking great care of our little girl. She is an excellent communicator and provides detailed updates throughout the day. What stood out most to us when looking at other pet sitters was that it seemed most others had other jobs that would keep them away from the house for extended periods of time, whereas Lila spends the majority of the day at home with your pets. We'll definitely be working with her the next time we leave town.
