“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”
“Eric did a great job with our two dogs who are on opposite ends of the age, energy, and size spectrum. He kept us well informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Would recommend!”
“Keilyn was so helpful with watching our pup, plus kept us updated with pictures the whole time while she stayed with him! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kaitlyn is on it! It was a joy to finally have someone kind, caring, and attentive watch our dogs. She took excellent care of our three fur babies. We have a super senior dog who is healthy but gets into things he shouldn't. She alerted us to his midnight illness and was there for our dog. Everything turned out okay with him too. Despite me being out of reach several times, she provided excellent care for all of them and I know they loved it. It was the first time in a long time that we came back home and did not have to "fix" a bunch of things in disarray or broken around the house. The dogs are super happy, the house is happy, and we are thrilled. Thanks Kaitlyn!!!!”
“Faith was fantastic!! I was super nervous trying Rover but she made me feel better about it. My dog Luca loved her. She walked him, played with him, and gave him lots of love. I’d definitely use her again!!”
“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”
About: I've been around all sorts of dogs all my life but especially dogs on vacation as of late! I understand how anxious your pup may be! Currently I work for a butterfly house and an inn. Both very calm jobs giving me the energy to burn off after sitting all day long. I put my pets feelings before all! Look at body language, try to understand how the animal is truly feeling with the factors around them!
“I can’t recommend Briana enough! From the start, she was incredibly thorough in understanding exactly what our dogs needed and took the time to ask about their routines, preferences, and any specific care we wanted. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in making sure we felt comfortable made such a difference. Plus, her flexibility was impressive—she was able to handle a wide variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing that she was capable and caring enough to adapt to any animal care situation meant everything to us. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”
