I used this app because I needed a last minute dog sitter because I was able to go to the Iowa game. Friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to drop my pooch off back to me after the game. Five stars!

Sidney has always taken great care of our cat! She is very responsive via the app and is always in touch with us. I have felt that my cat always has the best care when we are away. I will definitely continue to re-book with Sidney!

I make sure my dog gets adequate exercise everyday by going to the dog park, walks, or by playing frisbee. I will make sure your dog gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve as well!
