“Christine was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and she kept me informed throughout the stay. She was very respectful of my home and she was able to accommodate last minute modifications. 10 out of 10 recommend.”

“This is our second time having Lauren watch our two dogs. She is a wonderful houseguest. We will definitely reach out again in the future. It's nice to know our dogs are taken care of while we are out of town.”

“Henry did a wonderful job caring for our two golden retrievers and our house over two weeks. He seems to really love dogs, and took them for walks and let them out (even at midnight) when they needed it. Also came back mid-day from work to check in on them. Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.”


“Erica was amazing! So kind and thoughtful with our pup. We highly recommend her. As a house guest she also took great care of our place and it felt pristine when we got back. And now, with a cleaned up fetch stick pile in the yard :)”

“Janine is an amazing caregiver! I came home to a happy crew, and my home was so tidy! She was attentive to some of my pup’s quirks, was very communicative and sent a ton of photos. It was clear both my dogs and cats felt incredibly comfortable with her! Looking forward to booking Janine again!”

“Jacklyn was amazing! I was very nervous that my dog would be scared, and Jak put me at ease with great communication and videos. She was able to get my shy dog to warm up to her, through cuddles, frequent play sessions, and time outside. She definitely knows how to work with animals and I would recommend her!”
“Watanya is very caring and communicative. She sent us pictures every day and was in constant contact. We felt that both our pets were in perfect hands. She is diligent and trustworthy. We will definitely think of her for any other vacations we may take.”

“Kadence was wonderful at looking after my dog. She was patient during his "warm up" phase but got him to settle down and settle in. Unfortunately he needed at trip to the emergency vet and Kadence handled it calmly and competently. We had good communication throughout my vacation and I returned home to a happy dog and clean house.”

We just had Caitlyn stay with our two dogs for over a week while we were away and couldn’t be happier when we returned home to two happy pups. One of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of dedicated attention and care to make sure he eats and Caitlyn did a wonderful job doing so. We received daily updates and pictures and never had a doubt how they were doing while we were away. Would highly recommend Caitlyn and will certainly hire her again!
Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of my two Ridgebacks. She came before her scheduled stay to meet the dogs and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She stayed in my house since my older dog needs overnight outdoor breaks. I was tentative having someone I did not know stay at my house and she was great and neat. She was attentive and thoughtful. She kept me up to date of how both pups were doing over the stay and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely have her watch my pups again!

We are so happy to have found Julie to house sit our aging corgi and pampered cat. She was reliable, communicative, and most of all, kind. Our corgi seemed very happy to be walking and relaxing with her, and she even got our people-shy cat to come out for her during the day. We will definitely ask her first when we need overnight care ❤️
