“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”


“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”


“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”


“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”


“Ariel was great! We did a one-night stay and Ariel was timely and communicative. Came home to a happy pup and clean home, which was great after a trip! Thank you Ariel 😊”


“Caroline was amazing! She came over twice to meet our dog before staying for a weekend since our dog can be slow to warm up to people. Our dog and cat both LOVED her and we felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely ask her to pet sit again. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which was great!”


“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”


“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


“Julia took wonderful care of my energetic cat while I was away. I could tell Clover had lots of playtime and attention and was happy and calm when I returned. Julia was super responsive throughout and provided lots of photos. Would definitely book her again!”


“Vanessa was great with our three big dogs while we were in Europe. She was with this almost all the time and would send the best updates with videos and pictures. She also cleaned up the day she left and kept the house nice. I would definitely have her help with our pups again!”


“Jennifer was amazing! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was super flexible with availability. Thanks for taking such good care of our doggy!”



“Pam took great care of our young Scout and kept us informed throughout our trip. Pam left the house spotless and was very patient with our puppy.”


“Mansa was great - our dog loved her, she was prompt, great at communication, we would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”


“Addie was great! Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people and in new places, but she seemed to trust Addie very quickly and we felt much more comfortable leaving her with someone while we went out.”


“I had Shereen watch tippy for the entire week and there was no issues whatsoever just goes to show her professionalism and dedication to your pet. Thanks for taking care of him again!!”


“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”


“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her again!”


“Zoe was absolutely wonderful! Immediately when our pups did a meet and greet with her, they felt comfortable and at ease with her. Both of our pups can be a bit nervous around new people so this was impressive! She communicated and sent photos often during the trip and it was clear our pups were enjoying their time with her. The house was left clean and she even brought our packages inside for us. We look forward to booking with Zoe again!”


“Aly did an overnight with our pup and was great. She is a fabulous communicator and is very responsible. Our dog was having tummy problems when we left him so we had to change up some of his food and she jumped right in and helped make things super easy!”


“Alex was fantastic! She house sat my dog, Riley, for about 4 days. Alex asked great clarifying questions in our interview and the first day. I was at ease leaving Riley with her! Clean, professional, and kind ❤️ I plan to rebook!”
