1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Lori G.
“Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.”

“Ashlee did a wonderful job house sitting for us for a weekend! Our dogs were well taken care of, she sent us photo/video updates, and kept our home very neat and tidy. We couldn't ask for anything more!”
8. Madi B.
“Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.”

“Thank you Natasha for taking such good care of our crew! We never worry while we are gone as Winifred always has such a good time and doesn't miss us at all, she has too much fun with Natasha!”
19. Kelly B.
“Kelly was great! Communication was awesome, which I appreciated since it was my first time using a house sitter rather than a kennel. I think my dogs appreciated being in their home too. They were well cared for and loved. We will be using Kelly more in the future.”
20. Amethyst O.
“Amethyst house sat for our two, including our livestock guardian breed dog, who is very slow to trust people. By the end of the week he was leaning up against her and asking to be pet. She sent lots of photos and kept us informed of her comings and goings. I would gladly recommend her, particularly to those with dogs who aren't friendly to strangers. Our Kuvasz, (like a Great Pyrenees), did great with her as she patiently met with him before our trip and managed him while we were gone.”
