1. Paz L.

“Paz took copious notes during our initial meeting. She was on time and took great care of our energetic puppy. Paz checked in daily and texted picks of our puppy on walks, getting meals and cuddles. I miss my dog terribly when I'm away traveling, but it was comforting to know she was well loved in my absence.”


2. Tracy C.


“Tracy took amazing care of my fur babies, 2 dogs and one cat and a fish tank. Tracy was super accommodating to my one dog who is terrified of fireworks. She walked them multiple times a day. Her communication was perfect, she sent pics often. My house was spotless when I got home and she had washed and dried the sheets for our bed. I highly recommend Tracy.”


3. Destiny P.

“I'm so glad I reached out to Destiny to care for my pup including overnight on Thanksgiving. I think my pup thought she was on vacation having extra walks, treats, attention and company. From beginning to end, everything with Destiny was flawless.”


4. 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!!”


5. Chris M.

“Chris was great with my dog. She sent me updates and pictures each day to let me know how it was going. She was very reliable and responsible!!”


6. Jenni L.

“Jenni and Matt took great care of our pup and kitty for us! Great, quick communication. Thanks for helping take the stress off our busy weekend!”


7. Michaela A.

“We booked Michaela for house sitting and pet sitting for our two senior dogs. One of our dogs requires medication twice a day and has mobility issues due to advanced arthritis. Our other dog has a reserved personality and can be very difficult with new "humans". Michaela was WONDERFUL! She took time and care to make sure our "difficult child" was comfortable with her, she is the "dog whisperer", he did warm up to her and we even got a picture of him snuggling with her while we were away. She also took special care with our dog with medical needs and made sure we knew he had had his medication as scheduled. Her communication was great, letting us know how the day was going etc.! We felt completely at ease with her care! 10 stars!!!”


8. Karen P.

“Karen was phenomenal. My dog is what I consider “special needs” - older, a rescue AND a pittie breed mix. Karen allowed me to be away for a couple days and be fully at ease; she was great with communicating with me throughout the visit and I am so thankful to her.”


9. Katherine C.
“Katherine is very good with all animals. Our family has always had dogs and cats and an occasional Mini-rex rabbit. Many of them have been rescues from the Humane Association. She has been great with all of them. She will take them for walks, even if it is raining. Bailey, her dog, is a Australian Shepherd mix and bad weather does not bother him. She has also talked her mother and I into several dogs and cats over the years, this just shows how much she cares about them whether it is rescues or pure bred animals.”


10. Kaitlyn C.

“Kaitlyn provided our two dogs with great care as usual but was especially helpful with extended care following a flight cancellation we experienced. We know we can count on her!”


11. Baraka O.
“Baraka has shown that he is very responsible and dependable while taking care of my dog Miracle. He makes sure she’s taking out every day and keeps her entertained.”


12. 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.”


13. 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.”


14. Catalina C.


“Catalina is a gem! She was wonderful with our boys. I have two husky mixes, one with bad anxiety, and they were happy as could be when we got home. Great communication and a great experience overall, I would not hesitate to recommend her or to book with her again.”


15. Olivia N.

“Olivia did a wonderful job house sitting and watching my two dogs. She exceeded our expectations and nurtured a caring and attentive relationship with both our dogs. I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my dogs were well cared for. Olivia provided photos and updates throughout her stay. I would definitely request her services again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or house sitter.”


16. Stephanie M.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was thrilled with Stephanie M! She took excellent care of my dogs, Dusty and Izzy, during my vacation. She sent frequent updates with pictures of them relaxing and playing, and i could tell they were really enjoying their time together. They both seemed relaxed and happy when we got back, and we have no doubt they were well looked after. The even seemed to be sad to she her leave. And to top it all she even made me a lovely bouquet of flowers. What a wonderful sweet surprise to come home to.”


17. Jackie M.

“Jackie came a few days before our booking to meet the pups and she was so kind a patient with them. She was easy to communicate with and sent me pictures throughout her stay and kept me up to date on everything. She was a great sitting for my fur babies and will deff book with her again!”
