Bret was very thorough from the start, asking detailed questions to make sure it was a good fit for both him and our dogs. It’s clear he likes to be well prepared and understand everything upfront. While we were away, our dogs were very well cared for and we received regular updates, which we appreciated. We also came home to a spotless house. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely reach out again!

House Sitting • Mar 25, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Bret. Caring for a senior dog with arthritis is not easy—especially one who needs help getting up, requires multiple medications, and extra attention throughout the day He made sure all medications were given on time and was very attentive to our dog’s comfort and mobility needs. What really stood out was the consistent communication. We received regular updates and pictures, which had been a challenge for us with previous sitters, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend Bret to anyone, especially if you have a pet that needs extra care and attention.

Bret took excellent care of our fur baby while we were away. He was very attentive and responsive. We received frequent updates and pictures. He also gave several tips to help with Sadie once we got her home. Bret is our go to when we need care for Sadie. I highly recommend him.

I like to find out as much about your pet as possible before providing care. Factors such as boarding experience, social behaviors, medical conditions, and feedback from other caregivers help to determine if they're a good fit.
