“Anita was incredible! She gave me pupdates every day, kept my home clean, was kind, respectful and energetic. She walked Murphy multiple times a day and played with him! I highly recommend Anita!”
“Tori is a great dog sitter. She clearly communicates her schedule, shows up on time, sends great updates, follows care instructions (complicated for senior dogs), and treats our pups like gold. We’re very grateful. Thank you, Tori!”
“Matthew was amazing in providing updates on the dogs. He definitely spoiled both dogs and handled them with love and care. Additionally, he left the house tidy and clean even washing the sheets and blankets that were used. Definitely a great sitter that I would use again!”
“Amada took wonderful care of my pups while house sitting. She communicated well with detailed and helpful updates. Home was nice and tidy upon return. My pups were spoiled and look forward to seeing her again.”
“Zosha was fantastic. Our baby had to visit the vet. Zosha took great care of him and was very attentive. He left our home clean and in great shape. We appreciated the regular updates and special attention. We definitely recommend Zosha.”
“The dogs were immediately comfortable with Leah. Good communication and willingness to do all the complicated medical needs our dog requires. Will definitely work with again!”
“Jennette stayed with our cat and dog during our 4-day trip to Disney World. I am always very nervous about being a plane ride away from my animals, but after the first day, I felt like they were in very good hands. Jennette is very kind and communicative.”
“Phuong did a really great job taking care of our two pups while we were gone, and we really appreciated the updates and pictures of our dogs enjoying their time. We would 100% use her in the future - thanks so much!!!”
“It’s always so wonderful to work with Alison! She is so caring and patient with my cat Milo, sends great pictures and updates, and gives me peace of mind whenever I travel! Milo misses her already!”
“Kateland was great with my dog and cat, Tucker and Dusty! She sent so many cute photos throughout the duration of our time apart, putting my mind at ease. She was very attentive and thoughtful with checking in often. Definitely plan to request her again; both pets loved her!”
“Seth was fantastic with our dog, Nash. He was punctual, communicated with us as we arranged the house sitting, and truly went the extra mile. He spent extra time helping Nash calm down for bed and sent us a great photo update. When we got home, Nash was relaxed and happy. We will book with Seth again!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her communication and how she took care of Chase. I got constant updates and pictures. She was extremely attentive and took care of Chase like he was her own.”
“Nelitza was wonderful with our pup Finn! She had a fantastic set up to make sure he was happy, entertained, walked, well fed and fully taken care of during his stay. She was in constant communication with us and made us feel like he was in great hands while we were away! We will definitely be reaching out to her to watch Finn in the future!”
“Elise was fantastic! She took excellent care of our two black labs and went the extra mile to take them to our local dog park for us, without being asked! She also took great care of our home while we were away. I’d highly recommend working with her!”
“I know my dogs are cared for when Sierra watches them! My dog had recently been neutered and I trusted she could give him his meds and keep an eye on him while I was away for the weekend.”
“Karen was exceptionally great! Her care of our senior boys made vacation so much more enjoyable. Knowing that they were well cared for and didn't lack from affection is what every parent of a fur-baby hopes for in a pet sitter. Her many texts, updates and pictures of them throughout her stay were so appreciated. Kudos to Karen for making a noisy apartment work, as I have tried to do since moving from a house to this location. There are ways to make it work and she did just that! We really do appreciate this, and her willingness to keep our pups in what they are used to - their home. We truly hope she will consider watching them again. Thank you for caring for our boys, Leo and Levi!”
