“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”

“Jayme took amazing care of our cat while we were away for two weeks on our honeymoon. He kept us updated daily and provided lots of pictures. We’ve used Jayme before and plan on using him again and again!”

We received daily texts and pictures, which kept us perfectly updated. We look forward to nooking her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”

“Brooke was great! She made it a point to meet with me and Lula Mae to run thru her schedule and get the lay of the land before her stay. Lula was clearly well cared for and happy when I got home, and the house was in perfect shape to boot! Thanks Brooke, we hope you’ll agree to sit Lu again in future!”
