1. Maegan K.
“Maegan and her family were great sitters to my pug Sofia! I was sent plenty of pictures and I know she was cared for and loved dearly during my long 12 night trip away. Thank you for caring for her!”
2. Brigid O.
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
3. Sarah G.
“Sarah and her family gave such good care to Miles! He got plenty of love and cuddles from her and her family, & I felt really safe leaving him with her. Miles is an emotional support dog to me, as I suffer from PTSD, so it was hard to leave him for 19 days with anyone. After meeting Sarah & her family I knew he would feel loved and safe with them. They went above and beyond in every way! Sending pictures, of Miles and her beautiful children, & giving him an antibiotic he unexpected needed everyday. I had a difficult trip to the UK, to scatter my parents ashes in a place they went on their honeymoon. Sarah made leaving Miles as easy as it could be for me. I highly recommend Sarah!I absolutely can not fault her in anyway! Any pet owner would be privileged to leave their pet in Sarah’s excellent care!”
4. Zeiydah L.
“Highly recommend! We needed to book a last-minute sitter with a 6:30 AM start time the following morning. Zeiydah to the rescue! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures and treated Mac so well. We will be booking again. Thank you so much, Zeiydah!”
5. Jayla L.
“Jayla is very knowledgeable about dogs and is super wonderful to interact with! We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again :)”
6. Sky S.
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
7. Emily Z.
“Emily one again took awesome care of my dog! He had another great time with her, and her updates gave me total peace of mind that my dog was very well cared for. She’s also very responsive and great to communicate with. Thanks Emily!!”
8. Annette K.
“Annette was amazing with Hercules! He was immediately right at home with her and she was so conscientious about following our instructions. She sent me great input on how he waa doing every day including pictures. She gave him his morning medicine and he looked back for her when we left! Thanks Annette!!”
9. Cheryle W.
“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”

12. Hui L.
“Hui has pet sit for me many times over the years and she has always been terrific! She’s super communicative, always willing to work around my complicated schedule, and got along great with my pup! She went above and beyond to help water the couple of plants I had and take pictures of my dog while I was away, which was very thoughtful.”
13. Cache T.
“Wife was very nervous leaving her baby with someone new while we went on vacation. Cache was wonderful with daily updates and pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her and be a repeat client.”
14. John D.
“I was really nervous to leave my puppies with John because of their fear of strangers, but John made them feel comfortable right away. On the second day, I received pictures of John snuggling with my timid pups. They were well taken care of and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. We will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend! We give an eight paw rating!”
15. Kyle W.
“This was our first time booking with Kyle, and she was great! Our pup can be rather anxious initially when going somewhere new, but she relaxed very quickly with Kyle. Kyle was always responsive and reassuring, and sent lots of photo updates. Traveling is hard for me because I hate being away from my "kids", but I was able to relax and enjoy my scheduled time away because of Kyle. Ripley can't wait to book again!”
16. Sylva & Mark M.
“My boys had a great time per usual. They always take care of my pups the way I'd want them taken care of. Buddy & Connor are always in good hands with them . 😊”
