1. Eric K.
“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”
2. Mo F.
“We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!”
3. Julie-Anne D.
“Julie-Anne was an excellent dog sitter. She communicated very well. Sent photos & gave us up dates. She stayed at our house & gave our dogs love & snuggles. We will use Julie-Anne again.”
4. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer was amazing and accommodating to my needy 2 year old aussie! She helped so much with his separation anxiety with plenty of cuddles and playtime.”
5. Cam L.
“Cam was great with our two dogs Lexi & Ruby. I appreciated getting texts and photos while we were away and knowing they were being well cared for. Thanks Cam!”
6. Jen H.
“When we met prior to the booking our two dogs took to her immediately. Jen stayed with them for a week. She sent photos and videos which we truly appreciated as we knew our girls were given the best attention while we were away. This was our first time away and leaving the dogs with a stranger. Turns out Jen was more like a family member. We would definitely contact Jen again for any future sitting needs. Thanks Jen. We and the girls loved your time with them. Lou and Nancy.”
7. Charlotte C.
“Charlotte was an excellent cat sitter! She watched my two cats for a week and had no issues at all. I greatly appreciated all the pictures and updates from her stay and would happily choose her for future trips. Thank you!”
8. Erin C.
“Erin did a great job with my 13 year old chihuahua mix that has anxiety. She respected my home and sent photos to me for updates. I would use her again and recommend her to others.”
9. Laura O.
“Laura has been taking care of a wide variety of animals since she was in her teens. From dogs and cats, to horses and chickens, she has the confidence for them all. Her love of animals is clear, and she takes their welfare seriously.”
10. Sam D.
“Sam was great! Kept us up to date about how Gus was doing. He even inquired about any tips to calm Gus' nerves as he seemed a little anxious at first. And Sam took great care of our home at the same time! He was patient with us, as this was our first House Sitter experience and I couldn't be more thankful!”
11. Elana R.
“Elana filled in last-minute for our regular sitter. She was very responsive and flexible. Penny and the house were well taken care of and Elana did a great job keeping us updated! She sent us a lot of photos and Penny seemed to have a great time! I would definitely use her again.”
12. Jacqueline W.
“Jacqueline was just fabulous! Leaving a 12 and 13-year-old set of dogs that required medicine and gentle walking is always hard to do. In order to attend our son’s wedding without a worry we needed to feel confident in a dog sitter. Jacqueline provided that no worry feeling for us. Receiving pictures and regular updates throughout the three days was very comforting. I highly recommend Jacqueline and will use her again as needed.”
13. Hannah K.
“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”
14. Kelsey L.
“Kelsey did a great job housesitting with our cat Sasha while we were away for the weekend. She arrived on time, sent updates (with photos) a few times a day and was always quick to respond. The last time we left Sasha with a sitter she was stressed out and didnt eat while we were away. However, Sasha played, ate and used the litterbox as usual with Kelsey. We also came back to a very clean and neat home. We will definitely be using Kelsey again!”
15. Emily E.
“Emily was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to take care of our dog & house. Her gentle-natured personality, eagerness to offer extra help with mail/plants, and twice-daily “pupdates” made it so that we didn’t need to worry about anything during our week away. She sent us a ton of photos, so we could see how happy our dog was, playing, eating and relaxing. When we came home, our house was spotless and our dog was healthy and well. We will definitely be hiring Emily again!!”
16. Shana M.
“Shana was great to work with! She met us in advance to learn about our routine and our 3 girls took to her immediately. We came home from our trip to happy puppies and clean house.”
17. Serena L.
“Goji loved Serena from the second he met her! Serena was amazing with Goji’s energy, demands for snuggles and walk requests. She followed all instructions and added lots of extra pets! She was communicating the right amount, and took care of my home and my dog as her own! Would 1000% recommend her, and I will personally be requesting her again soon!”
18. RIta P.
“Rita is very responsible and punctual. She's very good with dogs and has a very well trained and well behaved dog of her own. I highly recommend her!”
19. Kimberly K.
“Kim was great! She really loved our babies like they were her own. She communicated well and sent us tons of pictures, which we definitely appreciated. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Kim!”
20. Derrick S.
“Derrick is a great choice when considering someone to watch after your pet. He will match the enthusiasm and energy level of your pet giving them a happy and playful experience while you are away. Derrick is very responsible and takes these responsibilities seriously. You and your pet can depend on Derrick. He’s a happy and outgoing guy whom you can trust. I’ve know Derrick for almost 20 yrs and have depended on him to care for my dogs and my mother’s dog multiple times over the years. You won’t be disappointed.”
