1. Savannah N.


“Savannah is SO RELIABLE!! While I try to be respectful as possible and give her plenty of notice, I had a bit of an emergency and asked her the night before if she could take care of my dog and room mates cats and she totally came through for me. She's truly a blessing and such a good sitter. I want to leave her good reviews because she does such a great job but I also want to keep her all to myself (laughing out loud lolol) because she's such a gem! Also in addition to the thank you card and pictures, she also made the fur babies Christmas ornaments!!! Love her <3”


2. Bethany W.

“Highly Recommend!!! The moment I met Bethany at our home, both me and my dog fell head over heels 💓 Her communication is clear and prompt. Her care is stellar! Bethany stayed at our home with our senior dog who is experiencing painful arthritis for the weekend. She shared photos and kept me updated throughout her stay. I returned to a spotless home and a happy, wagging, old Charlie. Thank you Bethany!”


3. Elizabeth W.


“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL. I had a trip out of the country planned for a while but unfortunately my previously booked sitter was ill. I was very hesitant with some one brand new on such short notice. Elizabeth was very understanding and worked with me to set up a meet and greet. I got tons of pictures and updates. She was a SUPERB house guest, as well. I highly recommend Elizabeth for house/dog sitting. She really helped put my mind at ease.”


4. Karen F.

“Karen's awesome! She's reliable and flexible. My pup loves his walks with her and I can tell he had a great time with her when she watched him for a weekend that I went out of town.”


5. Nyah W.

“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.”


6. Hope Y.

“Hope did a great job taking care of our dog and feisty cat! Walked the dog, sent pictures and videos and was very engaged in communication with me. We will hire her again when needed.”


7. McKenna C.

“McKenna did an awesome job with my babies! She sent frequent updates and made sure both my dogs and my home was cared for! I will be using her again for sure!”


8. Meghan K.

“Meghan was great! She housesat for us for a few days and did a great job taking care of our three dogs. They can be quite a handful and also require some medication daily. She did a great job communicating and sent plenty of updates. She took great care of our home as well! We will definitely use Meghan again!”


9. Nicholas R.
“Nick has been pet sitting for our family for ten years. He’s taken care of two of our dogs that have passed away, and also the two we have now. We refer to him as the “dog whisperer,” as even our one dog who loved no one absolutely loved him. He is reliable and loves all animals. When we have traveled, even internationally for extended periods, we have never worried once. He is loving and responsible. We love it when he sends us pictures while we’re away. When Nick cares for our dogs, I can absolutely relax and have no worries.”


10. Jennifer L.

“Jennifer is a sweet, thoughtful and exceptional sitter. Very professional and caring. Both of my fur-children loved being with her. I had no worries while away. We will be repeat clients.”


11. Shyanne M.

“I highly recommend Shyanne! It was so lovely to have a worry-free vacation while she was watching my pets. She is kind, compassionate, intelligent, and reliable. My pets loved her, and my cat can be pretty skittish! She has a ton of experience with animals, which was also reassuring, and she understood how delicate French bulldogs can be. Thank you Shyanne for the wonderful care you provided.”


12. Carson C.

“Carson was the absolute best sitter I’ve had this far. His communication was nothing short of the best! If you are looking for someone who is attentive and has the energy to play with your high energy dog HE IS THE ONE!”


13. Stephen N.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 2. I’ve looked after dogs for others since I was ten. I will treat your animals exactly as I’d treat my own. I am employed part-time for a local venue. My schedule is incredibly flexible to match your needs. The taking care of our animals is incredibly important and I feel thankful for being able to help. My dog, Lucy, is trained in verbal, whistle, and non-verbal commands. She has been trained as a PTSD Support and Service Animal since she was two.


14. Ren M.

“Ren has an amazing amount of patience with my rescues and the new puppy! Some just like to laze around and others have mass amounts of energy and Ren meets each of them where they are! Already have her booked for more dates!”


15. Tabitha C.
About: I have loved and taken care of animals all my life. Pets are family! I had my Maltese, Monkey, for 18 years, and loved her every minute of it. I currently do not have pets, so I have tons of love to show to your fur baby(s). I am skilled at taking care of babies through senior stage, and am comfortable giving medications or any grooming needs. I am available to work at any time. I am very active so daily walks fit into my lifestyle seamlessly. My schedule is flexible, just let me know what your needs are. I have a fenced in yard and no other animals or children in the house. I am also available to sit at your home, or do doggie walks from your residence.


16. Kyla B.
“Kyla is very sweet with my boys! She’s communicative , punctual and very accommodating. She took good care of my pups, my cats and my house. Made the bed and cleaned up everything. Highly recommend!”


17. Anna "Riven" L.

“Riven did a wonderful job of caring for my pups. Very responsive and communicative. I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend to others.”


18. Carrie C.
“Carrie was great! It was a long stay and we felt confident leaving the pups with her. The communication was good while we’re gone and she sent pics throughout the week. We will use Carrie again.”


19. Kiley K.

“Kiley was a wonderful caregiver for my dogs. She took excellent care of them and they really enjoyed having her with them. She left my home cleaner than when I left and washed up all the dishes she used and blankets too! I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter to stay at your home and take care of your babies. I didn't worry one bit about if they were taken care of and it gave me real peace of mind. She is awesome!!! ?”


20. Emily C.

“Emily sat for me while I was on shift overnight and I think she did a great job! One of my kiddos needs help walking and she followed directions on how to help him when he needed it and stayed on contact with me throughout the visit. She even came back for a lunch time visit just to check on my babies which I really appreciated.”
