“Savannah was phenomenal!!! She took such great care of our house and pets, regularly sending us updates, pictures, and videos. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her, and will definitely use her again in the future.”


2. Tracy C.


“Tracy is the absolute best. She is always the first person I go to for my pet sitting needs. She goes above and beyond to take exceptional care of my babies and that puts my mind at ease while I’m away.”


3. Terry C.

“Terry is the most trustworthy, reliable, and responsible pet sitter! She sent consistent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. She communicated every day and made us feel so calm and relaxed while we were away because we knew our fur baby was being taken care of. She left our house cleaner than she found it and went above and beyond in her care for our pug and house! Our pug, Phoebe, loves Terry and we will be booking her again for every vacation we go on. I highly recommend Terry if you want someone who will prioritize your pet’s happiness, send tons of pictures and updates, and leave you feeling stress free upon your return home. We really cannot say enough good things about her!! She is the best there is!!”

8. Karen P.
“Karen watched our 3 crazy pups for the long holiday weekend. We came home to 3 happy babies who spent the past few days cuddling and playing with their new best friend. She left our house immaculate and even weeded our whole walkway in the back of house. Our pups had plenty of play and potty breaks and a great weekend. She made them feel safe through the thunder storm and the fireworks as well. I would recommend Karen to anyone!”


9. Kaitlyn C.

“I was nervous because my dogs usually take a bit to warm up to new people but with Kaitlyn they loved her right away and that put me at ease. She took great care of them and our house while we were away. I highly recommend booking with Kaitlyn!”


10. Zoryel S.

11. Shanisa J.

“She was great with Bailey, hiking with her too. We like that she treats her as if she is her Dog but at the same token lets us know if she’s doing something that we haven’t discussed she would contact us. You know how hard it is to be gone for 2 weeks so we are happy to have Shanisa as another friend/family & dog sitter in our life she very trustworthy.”


12. Michaela A.

“Michaela took excellent care of my dog and cat while we were away. She took the time to meet us beforehand, provided thorough updates and we came home to happy pets and a clean apartment. Thank you, Michaela! Highly recommend!”


13. Toni P.

“Toni did a great job taking care of my two fur-babies. She was very good at communicating. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend to others.”


14. Joemar A.
“I believe it is important for those who care for animals to really have a passion for it because anyone can watch an animal but not everyone enjoys it. I believe Joemar is one of those people who really cares for what an animal might be needing and treats them with love and compassion. My dog was his biggest fan and there wasn’t a time when she didn’t love to be by his side. I guarantee any dog will be in good hands with Joemar.”


15. Jackie M.

“Jackie was wonderful! She accommodated our request last minute—and sent great pictures of our puppy! If I were to travel to Wilmington again, I would feel very comfortable asking Jackie to help us again!”


16. Alexandra C.

“Alex was fantastic, arrived on time, sent us pics, left our home in perfect condition and our dogs enjoyed her. I would recommend and book her again.”


17. Cole C.

“Cole was wonderful! The beasties loved him, he was very communicative, and the house was immaculate afterwards. We couldn't ask for better!”


18. Catalina C.

“Catalina is a wonderful sitter and we will definitely ask her to watch our fur baby again. She sent so many updates and pictures of our boy looking so happy and loved. Thank you so much!!”


19. Baraka O.

“Baraka to great care of Rory. I'm sure at this point, Rory would prefer that I go BACK on vacation so Baraka would come back, walk, feed, and play ball more. :)”


20. Joseph O.
