“K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)!

“Emily was INCREDIBLE with my dog Mabel while I was gone for a weekend for a wedding. She stayed in my home, took such good care of my dog and my house, was so prompt with updates & pics, and then went above and beyond and left me a super detailed note about their time together & how much she loved her!! Truly haven’t had a dog sitter make me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with someone (crazy dog mom, hi!). Will 10/10 rebook Emily ◡̈”


“Isabel was a pleasure to meet and did an excellent job sitting my GSD, Izzy! She was able to easily connect with her, and demonstrated both readiness to learn specific leash techniques to ensure Izzy was at her most responsive while on walks while also giving her plenty of play time, rest time and affection.”

“1000/10. Rosie was fabulous from start to finish. Came home to two well-taken care of happy cats and a well-taken care of house as well. She sent really great pictures and was a clear communicator. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind!”


“We worked with Paul for the first time when we needed someone to housesit for our two corgis for 9 days. He was wonderful to work with from the time we booked him; he was the first to reach out to coordinate and confirm visits and was always on time. Paul took a lot of time to ask really thoughtful questions about the dogs' needs, their routine, and even took the dogs on a practice walk before our trip to familiarize himself with them and the neighborhood. We also really appreciated that he does not book multiple clients at a time (e.g. a drop-in client while housesitting), and being fully remote, he dedicated 100% of his time to our dogs and home. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, and answered any questions we had while we were away immediately. Our house was in great shape, he had laundered and cleaned everything before leaving, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. I would work with Paul again without hesitation and highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for their pet and home.”


“Ella was a lifesaver! She helped me last minute so I could go to an event. She took wonderful care of my Benji, sent me many pictures, and was an excellent communicator. I will absolutely recommend her and use her services in the future!”
