Mindy was awesome. My dog Copper is usually very anxious with strangers and just barks and barks at them. I think he barked once at our meet and greet and not at all next time he saw Mindy. He is very comfortable with her and that is so unusual for him. Absolutely plan to rebook and so happy to have found someone that Copper and I are both comfortable around.

Sophie went out of her way to ensure I could see my skittish cat during each visit and got some funny pictures of him along the way. Definitely wasn't needed but much appreciated!

I have booked Brian several times to check-on my two cats. He is very quick to respond and communicates frequently. I never have to worry about them when we go out of town for a couple days, which is a huge relief. He seems to really love animals, and is caring and attentive to my kitties. I will continue to be a repeat customer!

Althea was fantastic! Very communicative and composed. I had no concerns about leaving our dog in her care, and would definitely book her again! She even asked about the weather and any special care to take given it was super hot on the day she was visiting our dog.

I cannot say enough good things about Zoe and her care for my dog, Ruby. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the perfect fit. Ruby has sensitive tummy issues, and Zoe was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She always made sure to follow Ruby's dietary needs and kept me updated on her well-being. Beyond her professional skills, Zoe is a genuine animal lover. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Ruby always comes home happy and relaxed after spending time with her. I highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.

Jaime did great with Barry. She gave detailed updates and sent lots of pictures and made sure that the training he received was consistent with what we usually do. There was a mix up with time and she was flexible and able to make it work.

Katie is a very responsible and extremely kind person. She cared for our dogs as if they were her pups. She followed all the care instructions and did exactly what we requested. Additionally, a few days before the service, Katie went to our home to meet up with us and the pups. She was so great that we designated her as our primary walker in this app. Thank you, Katie! ? ?

Jayda accepted several last minute drop-in visits for my two cats over the holidays. She dropped in during our agreed upon timeframe and actively played with the boys for the full thirty minutes. I also received several photos of them for each visit along with a short report of their mood and preferred toy, which made me feel better while I was gone! One thing to note is that their water bowl was bone dry when I got home, but I'm sure it was an honest mistake. Overall, I would use Jayda again and recommend her for anyone who wants to make sure their pets are being fully socialized while they're gone.

About: We have a great house and and even greater yard (newly fenced-in)! We are surrounded by lots of walking trails and parks to host a dog. We recently lucked out and adopted the best dog ever (we think so at least). His name is Tucker and he's very friendly with both dogs and people - super chill in the house and loves running around the yard. We promise to give your dog plenty of love and attention during its stay :) Update: we recently added another dog to our family. We adopted Mai, a female Terrier mix. She loves to play and is incredibly friendly. Mai and Tucker would love to host any other four-legged friends any time you are in need of a sitter.

About: We are a family of four pet lovers who would enjoy spoiling your dog. We recently lost our long-time pet and have decided to pet sit until we are ready to have our own dog again. At one point we actually had three dogs, so we have plenty of experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors. I work from home with a flexible schedule and my husband also works from home 2 days a week, so we are able to provide care throughout the day. We have a house with a spacious fenced-in yard. We can take your dog for walks as well. Our home is very casual and dog friendly. We do have two kids, ages 7 and 10, so your dog will have to be comfortable around children that age.
