Krystle is amazing! She stayed with my anxious dog Jemmy and my very little puppy Jeena while I took a vacation (which I almost didn’t do because of fur mom nerves lol). But the dogs immediately loved her and she took really wonderful care of them. I got pictures and videos! We love Krystle and have even booked our next time with her!!

Matt is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having an in house dog sitter and Matt was a great companion to our pup. Our dog has anxiety, but Matt’s gentle nature immediately calmed him down. You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs and I immediately knew our dog would be in good hands. He was proactive in learning about our dog’s specific routine and behavior to make sure that this was a good fit. I really appreciated that level of consideration. For the sit itself, Matt was great at communicating updates and kept us in the loop how things were going. We returned home to a happy pup, a clean house and a trusted future dog sitter. We have already booked Matt for our next 2 week trip!

Jasmine was very responsive when messaged and willing to take steps to ensure the kitties were able to maintain their indoor/outdoor routine. She asked questions regularly and took on extra care steps such as watering plants and letting in maintenance folks. Would recommend to others.

Meagan is absolutely amazing! She has cared for our corgi multiple times, even for extended stays of up to three weeks while we were on vacation. She provided daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure he got plenty of exercise with walks and fun excursions. It’s clear our corgi loves his time with her—he’s always happy to see her and comes home content and well-cared for. We completely trust her with our dog and can’t recommend her enough!

Qishu (and Ian) were wonderful guests in our home, housesitters and keepers of our pups and flock of chickens. Qishu kept us updated frequently and sent lots of pictures and videos of our furbabies while we were gone. One of our pups has boundless energy and Qishu didn’t flinch! She event spent time working on commands and training the pups while we were out. She left the house cleaner than it was when we left and was very respectful. I’d recommend Qishu (and Ian) to anyone anytime.

Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!

I can't recommend Nicole enough for house-sitting and taking care of my dog, Georgie! Georgie is a sweetheart but usually takes some time to warm up to new people. With Nicole, it was instant. By the time I was leaving for my trip, Georgie was already cuddling with her and barely even noticed I was gone! I’ll definitely be asking Nicole to watch her again in the future.

Great stay with Gus over a holiday week. Our dog is a rottie and Gus knew just how to manage her; she was cozying up to him in no time. She was well cared for, the house was super tidy and clean when we returned. Gus sent regular updates to let us know that all was well. We will definitely try and hire him again!

Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!

Jasmine was an amazing sitter! She treated our 2 dogs like they were her own and followed all of our instructions perfectly (did I give her several pages of information? Why yes I did)! We could tell the dogs were perfectly at home while under her care and our house was spotless when we came home. The boys clearly loved her and we will absolutely use her from now on any time we need some help!

Chris is a nice young man, and my Betsy loves him. He apparently handled her dog reactivity and any other challenges. Everything seems to have gone well, Betsy seemed content, and the house was absolutely as I left it. I would definitely use Chris again in the future.
