1. April C.
“I highly recommend April! We booked with her for 3 nights of house sitting in our home and our pup had a blast!! April sent regular photos, videos and updates, and our girl got lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. We were so glad to have her and can’t wait to work with her again the next time we go away!”
2. Delilah & Vincent W.
“Delilah was wonderful! Our girl Luna is a bit quirky and can be difficult with new people. Delilah went out of her way to make Luna comfortable and keep us updated throughout our stay. It was our first family vacation since before COVID and we never worried once about our pets. Would happily use Delilah again!!!!”
3. Tammy P.
“Tammy has been a huge help to us this summer and we are so glad to have found her! We recently had her stay at our home for a week with our two fur babies while we were away on vacation. I did not have one worry while we were away because I knew that our fur babies were in the best hands. She sent photos and updates to let us know how they were doing. Communication with her is always easy, pleasant and leaves you with a smile. Gus has a pancreatic issue and his food is homemade and enzymes need to be mixed with every meal. Our girl Maisie is on a limited ingredient diet and has to be coaxed to eat at every meal and also is on several medications. Tammy handled these little issues without a hitch. She also cooked and prepared the homemade food the way we asked her to and left some prepared so we wouldn't have to worry about it after a long day of traveling. Upon our return, our dogs were calm, content, and clearly had been well looked after. Tammy maintained our home with great respect, leaving everything neat and tidy. Our neighbors were so impressed with her care and they will likely be reaching out to her for their upcoming trip. We highly recommend Tammy to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. Our puppies really love her and we hope to have a long relationship with her. Thank you, Tammy for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Gus and Maisie. We’ll definitely be reaching out for more drop ins and trips. You are truly the best!”
4. Sarah K.
“Sarah was wonderful. She took such great care of my babies while I was away with my family. I was very anxious about leaving them and she really helped me feel more comfortable. Sarah sent multiple pics every day of my two cavies. And let me know if any incident happened. Thank you so much Sarah.”
5. Janine C.
“Janine took great care of our young puppy! She was responsive to our needs, on time, very responsible and provided loving care for our puppy! 🐶 highly recommend her.”
6. Cassandra Y.
“Cassandra is a true animal lover, and is meticulously responsible with animals in her care. My dog adored spending time with her; she was one of his favorite humans ever. I’m a nervous Nellie about leaving my dog with anyone, but I felt very safe leaving him with Cassandra. She put safety first and would never let anything happen to him. Plus she took him on adventures and gave him lots of love! He didn’t have any special medical needs, but she has cared for many animals in the past who needed medications and/or special care, and is always incredibly attentive to those needs.”
7. Samantha B.
“Samantha was so great! My cat was on antibiotics and not a very willing participant for med administration. Samantha was a pro and administered the meds without issue and gave Lilo great love and attention, so much so Lilo didn't even seem to notice we were gone. Thank you so much, will contact you again for our next trip!”
8. Joseph O.
“Joseph and Meg were amazing. They took awesome care of our dog, sent daily photos, and gave updates. We also had something go wrong in our house (due to all the rain) and they took extra time and extra care to take care of it and our home. Our dog and house were fabulous when we returned and I feel so lucky to have had them there.”
9. Salina B.
“Salina is the best. She stayed at our home for almost two weeks and our cat loves her. We got daily cute pics and everything was smooth. Your pet will be in great hands. AND so will your plants, if that's something you need, too!”
10. Erin M.
“We are so happy we found Erin! She is very reliable and kind... the pups were in good hands and we were able to have a nice weekend away knowing that our babies were being well cared for. Will be booking again!”
11. Emily B.
“(TL;DR: Emily is the best) We have been fortunate enough to have Emily as our go-to cat sitter for several years now, and I can honestly say she is amazing! Whenever she’s not available, I notice a difference in how relaxed we feel during our trips, even when we trust another sitter. There’s something about knowing she’s taking care of our cats that makes me feel truly at ease. Trust is everything when it comes to finding the right person to care for your pets and home, and we have absolutely no qualms about giving her the keys to our house. In fact, on the last day of our trips, we often have her hold onto them, just in case something unexpected happens—and we never stress about getting them back. She’s incredibly responsible and reliable, which makes this a non-issue. What really stands out, though, is how our cats react to her. They absolutely adore her, and sometimes I think they’re more excited to see her than they are when we come home (kidding...sort of!). It's clear they are in good hands and are well cared for, which gives us such peace of mind. I was also lucky enough to meet the dog she recently rescued, and I can confidently say she’s just as dedicated a dog mom as I am a cat mom. If you need dog care, I’m sure she’ll be equally attentive, loving, and reliable. For anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving pet sitter, Emily is exactly who you want. She goes above and beyond, and we (humans and pets) couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
12. Heather G.
“Was very happy with Heather. My dog loved her. I'll definitely be using her again in the future. She was awesome. I was able to relax on my weekend getaway and not have to worry a my dog.”
13. Janine A.
“Janine was a phenomenal dog sitter!! We felt so at ease leaving our dog with her. She was a quick communicator and sent frequent updates with pictures, so we knew our pup was well cared for.”
14. Kat V.
“Kat is fantastic! She jumped in and was able to stay an extra night last minute when my work trip got unexpectedly extended. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
15. Andrea D.
“Andrea was wonderful and took a great care of our two pups. She kept me updated every day on what they did along with photos. She also came twice before staying at our place so our pups could familiarize themselves with her which I very much appreciated. We will definitely hire her again in future!”
16. Tayla S.
“Tayla was awesome. She took great care of Boo and our home. She sent updates throughout the weekend to keep us posted and answered any questions we had. We will definitely look to Tayla next time we need some care for Boo. Thanks!”
17. Meaghan C.
“Meaghan exceeded my expectations. I felt confident and relaxed on my vacation knowing that our elderly dog and cat were in good hands. She sent many photos and videos and was able to befriend our skittish cat quickly. Meaghan also washed the sheets unprompted, took down trash, watered plants, brought in mail - I can’t recommend her enough!”
18. Lorie P.
About: Our fully enclosed yard is flat and grassy, with sun and shade trees. Your pet can spend time inside or outside as they please. Our ranch style home is animal safe and set up for the enjoyment of our pets. We will adhere to your pets specific schedule and needs, including administering medications. We never run out of belly rubs, petting, or playing. I work from home and enjoy the company of pets. Our puppies are very loving and playful, not aggressive at all, and enjoy visits with other pups. Also, I only accept one guest dog at a time, so your pup will get all the attention they need. If your pet has not stayed with us before please request a meet and greet. I am recently retired so I have lots of time to spend with some of my favorite people, dogs. I don’t mind an occasional early morning or late night. In my home we have a large fenced in yard. In your home I would go by whatever routines you have established for your pet.
19. Nicole D.
“Nicole is caring and competent. I had no worries leaving my dog in her care. I use dog sitters regularly, and Nicole is the first one to check in with me while I was away; I really appreciated this! She called to consult me about a couple of minor concerns which she handled beautifully. My dog loved her! I look forward to using Nicole again.”
20. Emily G.
“Emily was great! Arrived on time, was prepared to be flexible, and took great care of Gracie. She's a very calming influence on my lively reactive pup.”
