1. Rachelle W.
“Rachelle did a great job taking care of our two dogs! She was communicative before and throughout the stay and she sent a bunch of photos. One of our dogs is very shy and often stops eating his food when we leave and she was able to get him eating by day 2!”
2. Erin C.
“Erin was amazing with my three babies! She stayed in house with my dogs while I was away. The house was left in excellent condition. I came home to three very happy doggos! She will be a permanent staple for my dog sitting needs! She will we very communicative and sent lots of pictures!”
3. Mark N.
“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”
4. Stephanie A.

We are extremely grateful for Stephanie’s professionalism and ease with animals and would recommend her most highly.”

10. Katelyn C.
“Katelyn was super flexible in watching my pup Ran’na last minute. Ran’na takes time to warm up to strangers but loved Katelyn immediately! I will definitely be rebooking Katelyn next time I need someone to keep Ran’na company.”
11. Carly M.
“Carly was great with our dog, Luna. Our dog has some anxiety and sometimes doesn’t like going out to potty but Carly was very patient with her. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures so we knew Luna was doing great while we were away. Would use her again!”

13. Justin P.
“Justin did amazing while cat sitting my Noodles. My cat is a little sickly (it’s how she is) but he did a great job keeping me updated and taking care of her. I don’t have the most glamorous apartment to housesit in, but Justin took it like a champ and left it really clean. Book him for your next housesitting!”
14. Emma V.
“Emma did a fantastic job taking care of Penelope and made sure to send plenty of picture updates over her stay! Penelope is a medium to high energy pup so we appreciate Emma’s willingness to meet her exercise, play, and snuggle needs. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a sitter :)”
15. Mallory J.
“Mallory took great care of my apartment, fish, and cat. Percy is slow to warm up to new people, but she treated him to his favorite hobby of balcony time and I knew he was in wonderful hands! Would definitely book again!!”
16. Brooke R.
“We were so lucky to find Brooke for an extended cat/house sit over the summer! I can't remember a time when I was more relaxed to leave my shy (but needy) boy with a sitter. Brooke is clearly a cat whisperer -- he trusted her immediately and became very attached. She was extremely diligent with all the care, played and cuddled with him and left the house in remarkably pristine condition. Very responsive and responsible, I cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to having her stay again.”
17. Allison T.
“Allison was fantastic! This was our first time booking with her and she kept our place in perfect condition, was super thoughtful in making sure it was clean when we came back and our pup loved his time with her. Allison followed all of our instructions and sent regular updates on how the stay was going. We will 100% book with her again. Thank you!”
18. Alyssa F.
“Alyssa was awesome! She's communicative and very thoughtful, and she kept our pup happy and our home tidy. We'll use her again and would definitely recommend her!”
19. Adrienne M.
“Adrienne was the best taking care of my dog-cat and apartment! I can tell both were super happy to see me but super calm, wich means they have been so comfortable with her! She sent me updates with pictures and she even washed the sheets on the last day. Well definitely count on her again for future trips”
20. Gabi B.
“Gabi was amazing! Chase loved her! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the booking. Highly recommend Gabi for all your pets needs! They will be very well taken care of!”
