Brittany has been walking our pups and house sitting for the last year and a half and she is simply the best! We have a large, energetic dog and a tiny, yippy-yappy dog; she handles them both so well. When our big dog got scared during a thunderstorm, she wrapped him in blankets and snuggled with him to calm him down. She is responsive, reliable, and friendly. We are sad to leave C'ville because it will be hard to find another sitter like Brittany!

Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.

Averi was great with my fur-babies. I have two senior goldens and a cat who is very cautious. I am always nervous about leaving them with a new person, but she was wonderful. She communicated well before and throughout the stay. I came back from a week, with happy healthy animals, and a tidy home. I would definitely recommend her.

Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend

Bailey was an amazing dog sitter. They made sure to keep in touch with updates and pictures of the pups daily, greatly appreciated! I came home after being gone several days to very happy content pups, mail brought in and a very tidy house. I highly recommend Bailey and look forward to having her dog sit again.

Amber and Olivia were fantastic with Koda and Lulu. Came home to a straightened house with the sheets in the dryer. It’s wonderful to go on vacation knowing your fur babies are being well taken care of. They also checked in and sent fun’s pics. I will definitely book again!

Violet is a fantastic sitter! I have been wanting someone to stay at my home so that my dog and cat aren't separated when I go out of town. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep her schedule free for my trips!! Thanks Violet.

Amanda is amazing! She’s stayed with our animals twice now and we’ll keep booking her anytime we’re out of town. The animals have always been so well cared for and our house perfectly clean. She was super flexible when we left town last week amidst the water debacle and had to stay at another location with our animals. She’s very communicative and always sends updates with pictures throughout the day. We can’t recommend her enough.

Amanda is incredible. INCREDIBLE. You hear me? You cannot get a better pet sitter. Stop looking, and just book Amanda if she’s free. We’re pretty sure our pets will be sad we are back and that she’s not coming to hang with them!

Kathleen took great care of our 10 m/o Cavapoo while we were out of town. She was super communicative, respectful of our home, and our nervous puppy loved her! We wish she was available every time we need a sitter, but we know she's in high demand. Highly recommend Kathleen for a short or extended stay!

We had a great experience with Rachel staying in our home with our dogs. We booked her a few weeks ahead of time and she was quick to coordinate our meet and greet. Even despite the gap in time between the M&G and the start of the sit, she reached out the day before to confirm her arrival plan. We really appreciated knowing that she was on top of things! Our dogs loved her and looked so happy in the photos Rachel sent. We appreciated her regular communications and that she treated our home like her own. We would definitely use her again!

Incredible care for our dogs while on a week vacation. With a big lab on medications and a stubborn corgi to deal with, she took everything in stride and we are thrilled with the care they received. The only reason not to book Lynne is because we want to know she’d have availability for us!!

Salis is awesome! My dog Jojo is pretty nervous, and Salis's patience and understanding made Jojo warm up quickly. She came and stayed at our house and was a great guest, giving us many updates on how Jojo was doing. I would ask Salis to watch Jojo again any time.

Jonathan just spent the weekend with our dog, Bogart. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy pup. We got frequent updates with many great pictures and plan to use Jonathan again when we go on an extended trip this Fall. Bogart is a very big dog and has never been left with anyone except family. Jonathan has a very calm and relaxed vibe and Bogart seemed immediately comfortable with him at their first meeting and was very excited when he returned for the weekend. It’s very nice to have found someone we are comfortable with to take care of our dog and our home.
