1. James B.


“James is so great!! Our cat and home were well taken care of- he spent a lot of time at home, and was even happy to book during the holidays. Our cat can be pretty distrusting of new people, and he took the time to get to know her and win her over. He kept up with her routines and checked in with us at least daily.”


2. Mary B.

“Mary took great care of Geneva during our family vacation and was very responsive through the week. Home was left super clean as well thank you!!!”


3. LaTrice K.



“LaTrice did a fantastic job watching my dog for the weekend! She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in pristine condition. I highly recommend LaTrice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”


4. Dakota W.

“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”


5. Danielle C.
“Danielle was prompt and communicative and understanding when we had to come home early. I will ask her first every. single. time I need someone. Courteous and professional.”




6. Dawn "Star" C.

“Dawn Star took wonderful care of my two dogs while my family and I were out of town for a long weekend. I came back home to happy dogs and a well cared for home. This was my first experience with a house sitter and found my dogs to be much more relaxed at the end of the stay compared to when they board at a facility. One of my dogs is very high energy, and the other is more reserved. Dawn Star handled their particular dynamics without issues. She also paid attention to my care/ instruction sheet and followed it to a T. I’m very happy with this experience and would hire Dawn Star again.”


7. Tessa F.

“We are very comfortable with Tessa. She took care of our elderly dog including two daily medications. We got updates and pictures and our dog was in good spirits when we returned. We have already booked our next appointment with her, so we're very happy with the care our dog received.”


8. Amanda W.

“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”

“Kendra was a great find a few days before I had to go away. She came to meet Shelley and I and she and Shelley hit it off. She was great in keeping in contact with me about how Shelley was doing. She sent me photos of my little fluffy girl throughout the weekend and she left my house exactly as it was when I left. Shelley was very happy and I will definitely request Kendra to do in home sitting for Shelley again. Thank you for taking such good care of Shelley, Kendra.”
