1. Tassia C.


“Tassia is great! My wife and I had to leave town for 5 days and Tassia took really great care of our two frenchies. She sent a lot of pictures regularly and followed all of our instructions. She also left the house super organized. Definitely recommend and I will use Tassia again if we need another time.”


2. Dana L.

“Dana was a wonderful house sitter and was very communicative. My dog got a little sick during the visit, but Dana was very flexible and went above and beyond taking care of her!”


3. Michelle V.

“Michelle was great house sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She was communicative, caring, and left the house super clean! Trustworthy and will use again!”


4. Sarah F.

“Sarah was fantastic! She spent a full day caring for my 11-week-old Labrador puppy, Loam, and did an amazing job. She followed my schedule to a T, providing thoughtful updates throughout the day, and made sure Loam received incredible attention and care. I especially appreciated that she took the extra step to check in and confirm the correct method for crating and sleep—asking before intervening, which shows how attentive and responsible she is. Loam was clearly comfortable and happy in her care, and I can’t wait to have Sarah back again soon!”


5. Lisa B.

“Lisa was communicative and responsive about Pepper and the two appear to have got along fabulously. Like I don’t think my dog missed me at all. I felt really comfortable knowing she was taking care of my dog in my home. I plan to request her services again very soon.”


6. Sabrina & Daniel S.


“Sabrina and Daniel house sat for my miniature Australian Shepherd Rosie. Rosie is 5 years old and while she is a sweetheart with her family, she is somewhat reserved with people she doesn’t know well. Sabrina and Daniel read her correctly almost instantly. They won her over with patience and a soft and gentle approach and maybe a few treats. ? They made sure she had all of her favorite things while we were gone: walks, play time, sunbathing, cuddle time and overnight company. Sabrina and Daniel kept us updated with texts and pictures which we very much appreciated. Although it was a holiday (Easter) and I would have understood if their time was limited, they were generous with their time and attention to Rosie. The house and yard were just as we left them. I highly recommend!”


7. Paula W.

“Paula was great. Took great care of the house and most importantly, our puppy. She gave her lots of exercise, play and stimulation. Loved her daily updates and photos, especially since this was the first time we have left our puppy.”


8. Primrose J.

“I cannot recommend Primrose enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my dog. Not only was she incredibly attentive and loving with my pup, but she also did my laundry and left my apartment spotless. I came home to a clean, cozy space and a very, very happy pup. In fact, my dog was more excited to see Primrose than me when I walked through the door—which says everything you need to know about the bond they built over the week! It was clear they'd become best buddies, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Primrose also sent me adorable daily photos and updates of Lil while I was gone and was incredibly responsive. If you're lucky enough to book her, do it—your pet (and your home) will thank you!”


9. Allie R.


“Allie did a wonderful job sitting our dog! We have some very specific instructions / asks, and Allie was so accommodating. I also felt super well informed as Allie is a fantastic communicator. We will be hiring Allie again!”


10. Katherine G.

“One of my neighbors referred Katherine and she was great! She came and did a meet and greet at our house with our pups before house sitting for us. Katherine watched my 2 fur babies for a long weekend and did a great job communicating. She sent multiple pictures and videos. We can't wait to have her back!”


11. Jenna R.

“Jenna did a great job caring for our two girls and house in our absence. Our girls can be a bit high energy but Jenna didn’t seem to struggle. Our mail and packages were stacked neatly where requested and even our backyard was clean on return (something many of our other dog sitters have neglected). Will definitely book Jenna again.”


12. Angie Sue R.

“Angie Sue took great care of our dogs, cat, and chickens while we were away. She was very communicative and made our pets feel so loved. We have an anxious dog who doesn’t always do well with strangers and he adored her. She sent frequent updates and made sure the dogs got long walks. We rested easy knowing everyone was well cared for!”




13. Ava H.

“Ava took excellent care of our little separation anxiety puppy. She was communicative during our time away and we felt at ease knowing our puppy was being well cared for. I will hire Ava again!”


14. Kaytlin L.

“Kaytlin was so wonderful taking care of my reactive and anxious dog, Magpie. I felt instantly at ease when I met her, and could tell that she genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I appreciated her updates while we were away, which allowed me to relax knowing my sweet dog was in great hands. When I returned home, I walked into my home and found it cleaner than when I left it, which always feels good after a trip, and was so thoughtful. I think the most telling, was seeing Magpie's demeanor when we got back. She was calm and at ease, and I could tell that Kaytlin worked well with her, which is not always the case when we travel! It can be really hard to find people who understand how to work with reactivity and anxiety in dogs, and I am so grateful for Kaytlin's care.”


15. Hayley B.
“Hayley was my bunny sitter for over 6 years and is greatly missed after leaving the area! She is super kind and a pleasure to talk with but most importantly she is responsible and dependable. As a bunny parent, it's crucial that my bunnies got regular care due to their sensitivity to gastrointestinal stasis as well as they had their boundaries respected due to their prey animal instincts. She excels in both, and her experience with farm animals, cats, and dogs are a bonus!”


16. Lily M.


“Lily stayed with my senior greyhound for the first time and was very communicative and thorough both before and during the booking. We were out of the country and needed someone we could trust to handle things since we weren’t available for backup. Lily checked in and dealt with a few unexpected issues smoothly and javi had a great stay with her. We will definitely book again.”


17. Maddie A.

“Maddie did amazing taking care of Bella! I had to book with her super last minute, she made time to drive over and made sure my dog was well loved. Got photos of them just hanging out and going for a car ride, would 10/10 recommend!!”


18. Tiara W.

“Tiara was fantastic! She house sat for us while watching our 11 year old dog, Gatsby, and 11 year old cat, Zelda. Tiara was communicative and did everything we asked. She was kind and it was clear when we got home that our pets were happy. We really appreciated her flexibility with us during times when we were unsure when we would be home (due to inclement weather). Highly recommend! Thank you so much :)”


19. Naomi P.

“Naomi stayed with our Taz again! As always, she is a great communicator and we love all the pics and updates. Our pup has sensitive skin and she always goes the extra mile to make sure Taz is cared for. This time it was for an ear infection. She always leaves our house cleaner than we left it too! So grateful for a trusted and reliable sitter that our dog knows and loves!”


20. Egor G.


“Egor was thoughtful, skilled, and caring with our two dogs. He also took good care of our home while we were away. We highly recommend him! Thank you!!”
