1. Chris B.

“Chris was good with Rallie. Reporting on his status. IMy fur baby has seizures and over activity induces his seizures and this was the first time I’m doing the inhome sitter verses doggy daycare. Chris made feel comfortable leaving him in his care.I will definitely be using his services again.”


2. Victoria & Jacob K.

“Rallie loves him some Tori. Lots of tail wagging.”


3. Sarah P.

“Sarah took great care of our three pets while we were gone for the holidays. It was nice not having to worry about whether they were okay. Sarah also kept our place clean as well!”


4. Emilia M.

“Emilia was extremely easy to communicate with and always did a great job updating us on the dogs while we were away. I can tell that she definitely made the dogs feel comfortable and loved on while we were away!”


5. Saren C.

“Saren is a lovely and kind person. She took great care of my elderly dog and my goofy puppy. Dogs were happy and my house was spotless when I got home. I will definitely ask her to watch the boys again”


6. Alexandra L.

“Alexandra was a SAINT! I have a Pom puppy with bad separation anxiety but Alexandra took spectacular care of her and Margot had a great time. She took great care of her, left the apartment as she found it, and even changed the sheets on the bed since I was getting home late. My neighbors texted me to let me know she was doing a great job and thought she was super nice. I’ll 100% be rebooking the next time I have to go out of town— thank you so much for loving my baby like one of your own!”


7. Meredith H.

“Meredith took great care of all of our animals. She messaged us to let us know that they were fed and that they were doing good. She also sent us a picture of our pups. Thank you so much.”


8. Michael W.

“Emm was an absolute delight to have watching our dogs! We know that our pups can be a bit of a handful with their energy levels, but Emm handled their enthusiasm and food aggression problems with aplomb. Everything had been cleaned and washed when we got home, which was very appreciated, and the dogs were clearly happy and well cared for, which is the most important thing to me.”


9. Elizabeth A.

“Extremely pleased with the house sitting services and care provided for my boy Cork! Highly recommend!”


10. Reyna M.

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”


11. Erin K.
“Erin has an incredible knack with with animals! When she took home two shy, fearful shelter cats who the shelter employees said would likely remain scared and timid, she was patient and worked with them consistently; now they are active and attractive boys who love their home and their human. Erin also adopted an older pup whose weight issues were impacting his health, and now he's a spry old man who loves going on walks and has energy to spare. She would be an excellent support to anyone looking for a calm and patient hand with their pets.”


12. Aden S.

“Aden was very attentive and took great care of our dog. Definitely recommend!”


13. Leslie D.

“Dante did an awesome job and I came back to my house with zero issues. He kept me informed the entire time and I will definitely be requesting more stays from him in the future.”


15. Blue H.
“Blue watched three of our dogs, including a not really potty trained puppy, and seemed totally unfazed. I appreciated the way they handled the meet n greet and how they provided regular updates while we were out of town. Would definitely reach out to Blue again for future pet-sitting needs. Thanks, Blue!”


16. Elijah Gipe B.

“Aliyah knocked it out of the park!!!! I have an anxious girl who can be protective with some real "stranger danger" and was worried about finding a dog sitter who could form a bond with my girl to allow me to go out of town to visit relatives. Aliyah approached her in an unassuming demeanor and after a brief meet & greet, I was able to leave them alone to fetch ball and get to know each other. Aliyah agreed to make a 2nd trip to my house before I left town for a "test drive" to make sure things would go smoothly when I actually had to leave town. They formed a bond at that point and I left town a couple days later and my girl was wagging her tail & following Aliyah around on the first night. She cuddled up in bed with Aliyah and everything went AWESOME. She exceeded all expectations, I felt totally comfortable, and will definitely ask Aliyah to dogsit for me in the future. She sent me tons of pictures and stayed in regular contact with me throughout the stay. THANK YOU for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my timid anxious furbaby <3”


17. Jessica W.


“Jessica is amazing - she was able to roll with some weird stuff that came up and helped me out a TON! I have already booked her for my next trips!”


18. Sarah H.
“Sarah has been taking care of our beloved 3 cats for nearly two years and it has been simply a dream. They are extremely frightened of strangers, and Sarah has handled it all with care and grace, while also implementing a very annoying feeding regimen that requires them all to be separately fed. Now whenever she arrives, they come out of their hiding spots quickly and let her pet them - we've never had them warm up more quickly to a cat sitter ever before! We would recommend Sarah endlessly as a pet sitter, walker or long-term caretaker. She is communicative to us while she's with our pets and so kind to our animals, and while we haven't ever had an emergency we trust her completely to handle anything that may come up with our pets with empathy and efficiency.”


19. Becca M.

“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”


20. Alyson H.

“Alyson did absolutely great with my dog Louie. She’s definitely made Louie feel really comfortable. I enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout caring for my Louie. Will definitely book again.”
