1. Mindy C.
“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.”
2. Sophie K.
“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!”
3. Mae K.
“Very professional! My normally shy cat warmed up to Mae instantly, which was amazing! I got some great and funny pics to assure me the kitties were well cared-for and entertained! Mae was wonderful!”
4. Molly C.
“Molly is wonderful. She loves animals and is truly engaged during the visit. She won over my shy cat and provided piece of mind when I was away.”
5. Brian D.
“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!”

7. Kelsey F.
“Kelsey was absolutely great! She sent me updates several times over the drop in visits, and sent me videos, and pictures. She did wonderful with my June Bug. Look forward to having her continue drop ins in the future!”
8. Althea L.
“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.”
9. Johanna M.
“I was excited to rebook with Johanna and so was my kitty! I am so grateful she had an opening over the holiday weekend to care for my kitty. Johanna really loves animals and it shows as when I arrived home, my kitty was relaxed, happy and snuggly. I highly recommend Johanna!!! 🤩”
10. Brianna G.
“Brianna helped me out with a last min emergency. She was prompt, communicative, and professional. Really appreciate your help so last minute. Absolute lifesaver!”
11. Zoe T.
“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.”
12. Jaime & Josh S.
“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.”
13. Katie O.
“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! ? ?”
14. Michelle J.
“Michelle was amazing and helped us last minute with our two pups. Everything was awesome and she was super communicative the entire time. Highly recommended!”
15. Jayda S.
“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.”
16. Jana G.
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.
17. Cindy M.
“Cindy was wonderful with our two cats while we were out of town for a week and a half. Great communication and helped us out with brining a package in. Thank you!”
18. Alex Y.
“Alex has become my go to cat sitter! Great communication as always. I appreciate her daily updates and the pictures she sends! It eases my mind to have such a caring and thorough person checking in when I have to leave my cats.”
19. Cara & Michael C.
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.
20. Patrick & Heidi H.
“It has been so awesome to have Patrick do drop in visits with my puppy. Patrick has been incredibly reliable, and his updates and photos provide so much peace of mind while I'm at work.”
