Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!

Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!

If you're reading this, stop and book Alyssa for your pet care needs. Alyssa checks in, provides much needed pictures of your furry family members, and asks all the important questions to ensure your pet is acting as per usual when you're away. She made being away from home much less stressful and for that I'm so incredibly grateful. If Alyssa is available, she's my go to for the next time Oliver needs someone to hang with him while I'm away.

About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.

Jackie was the perfect sitter! This was our first time traveling without our nervous pup so I was looking for someone with experience with anxious dogs, someone who would be responsible, caring and warm with her, and put her at ease. From the moment we met, I knew Jackie would be amazing. We felt completely comfortable being away knowing Hope would be in good hands.

Sharon provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were away. She provided daily updates and pictures, and clearly tried to keep the dogs to their regular routines as much as possible. We were extremely appreciative of her flexibility as well, and her willingness to extend her stay an extra night at the last minute when our return travel was disrupted. Sharon provided great peace of mind that our dogs were in caring hands, which certainly allowed for stress-free time away. We would certainly entrust her to look after our dogs and home in the future.

We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!

We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!

Madison is our go to dog sitter! For our recent booking, we had a last minute change to our schedule and Madison was incredibly understanding and accommodating. Our dog Molly loves her and while Molly is always excited to see us when we return, we can tell she has been well taken care of and enjoyed her "staycation" with Madison! :)

Sarah was amazing with watching our senior dog during a 2 week vacation out of the country. She provided daily updates and pictures of how all was going. She was willing and able to help with medication management, communicating with the vet as needed, and reached out when she needed further clarification. She stayed at our home and treated it with respect and was very clean upon returning. She is a very responsible pet sitter and we would highly recommend her for your pup. We would definitely rebook when the need arises.

Edith was thoughtful, loving, and a terrific sitter for Coco, even on short notice. I would definitely work with her again
