“Andrea was amazing with our dog Maya! She was so flexible with our schedule even as it got closer to the dates she was sitting. She communicated well and often before and during so that we felt comfortable. Highly recommend her!”
“Diane is always so thoughtful with Juni! We're very appreciative of all the care she gives her and how communicative she is with us throughout the stay. It puts our minds at ease.”
“Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂”
“April came and stayed with our new rescue, Willow. We were apprehensive because we have never left her before and she is still crate training. April is responsive, prompt, caring, and has a strong attention to detail. Our house was left in immaculate condition and Willow is happy to see us. I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.”
“Ola was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. She was neat, orderly, and respectful of our place while we were gone. She did us a huge favor by staying with our pup over Memorial Day weekend. 10/10!”

“Jamie watched our 2 dogs and cat at our house for us and made us feel relaxed and confident knowing they were being well taken care of. She provided updates and photos and was very communicative. We will definitely ask Jamie to sit for our pets again.”
“Ashley did an amazing job communicating with me and giving me all of these amazing pictures throughout. Hamilton appeared to be comfortable with her and spent time with her instead of his normal hiding away while we are gone. Look forward to next time which we are already working out the details. She went above and beyond and left our place in better shape than we left it.”

“Monica is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Monica knew how to calm him because of her experience working at a vet. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Monica was flexible and understanding. You are a life saver! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
“Dorothy was wonderful! Very responsive, reliable, and buttoned up. Our dog likes to play...a lot. And Dorothy played fetch with him to his heart's content. Hugo was very relaxed, unstressed, and a little tired when we returned home, all the signs of a good weekend. We felt 100% comfortable knowing Dorothy had it handled and Hugo would absolutely love to see her again!”
“Kyrra is awesome! She was really proactive in communication, sent frequent photo and text updates. Our dog and cat both loved her instantly. Our dog can be especially challenging, but Kyrra handled her well. I would definitely use Kyrra again!”

Hailey S.
“To whom it may concern, I’m happy to recommend Hailey Salgado for the position for a pet caregiver/walker. Not only is she responsible and trustworthy, she is also kindhearted and genuinely caring towards everyone she has come across. Hailey has looked after my dog several times and I cannot recommend a more capable person for the job. She puts the effort into every part of the care whether it’s a big or small task. Whether it’s making sure the dog is being properly fed, playtime or just hanging out and keeping them company. Just know she will do everything with a smile on her face and from the kindness in her heart. You can count on her to go the extra mile not just because she has to, but because she genuinely loves animals and cares for them like her own. You can trust her to follow any care instructions and is easy to communicate with.”

Dorothy stayed with our Labrador Retriever, Koa, for several days while we were out of the country. Everything was great! She was able to spend lots of time at home with Koa, keeping more or less the same routine that Koa has when we’re here. She also sent a few updates with pics. When we arrived back, the house was just as we had left it. Such peace of mind to find someone you trust with your “furry child” and your home! Dorothy’s terrific.
Diane is always the best with our senior, snuggly dog! She is our first sitter we contact when we are headed out of town. Diane consistently communicates, makes sure our dog is well cared for, and has gotten to know her silly personality. We highly recommend Diane!
Sergio went above and beyond for us! This was our first time hiring him and the big storms that we had caused some unexpected problems and Sergio really helped us with that as well. Our pets seem to have gotten very comfortable around him within a short period of time. We came home to all of our animals happy and healthy, our house in the shape that we left it in and he gave us peace of mind while away on a much needed family trip! Recommend and will definitely hire him again when/if he is available.
Ashley’s daily presence in our home during our recent vacation was a great comfort to us and our crew of three dogs. We our so thankful that she made our trip possible and free of a concern about our dogs’ welfare. They adore her and were so happy that she got to have an extended sleepover!
We had a wonderful dog/housesitting experience with Odalys this past week! She is super friendly, professional, and responsive. Our dog immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her. While we were away, Odalys kept us updated with photos. She also made sure our pup had adequate walks around the neighborhood. And she always notified us when she needed to leave for school and when she was on her way back to our house. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend her for any dog-related needs!
Jenny was great from the moment I reached out. Wanting to come by for a meet and greet, booking way ahead b/c of holiday, when it got closer she came by again to refresh. Great peace of mind before we left. And then went above and beyond while she was here. Pics, notes. So gracious and professional. Great with both dogs too. Thank you again!
Yolanda was fantastic with my dogs. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the weekend with both my pups looking so happy. One of my dogs gets anxious and scared easily and he absolutely loved her and trusted her immediately. So thankful to have someone like her to watch my dogs when I’m away for trips
