2. Keaton C.
“So glad to have found Keaton shortly after moving to town! He stayed in our home with our dog and cats for a couple nights and took wonderful care of them and the house. Our dog is usually a nervous wreck after we've been gone a couple days, but it seems that Keaton's company was enough to keep him happy and relaxed. Thanks so much, Keaton! Will definitely be booking again!”

12. Jonathan C.
“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.”

14. Steven K.
“Steven was great. He took excellent care of four animals. He kept in close contact with us throughout his stay (even providing us an update on a tree that fell in our neighbor's yard during a storm). Our animals and home were well taken care of, and I would recommend Steven to anyone.”
15. Rosemary L.
“First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.”
16. Egon P.
“Emily was wonderful with my two large dogs, who have a lot of energy and have some dog reactivity to be managed, so they are not the easiest dogs to look after. I was very nervous about leaving them with a new person (first time using Rover!) but Emily had come recommended and I felt much more comfortable after speaking with her and doing a meet-and-greet. She kept me updated with photos and video throughout the stay and I returned to two very happy content pups. Can confidently recommend Emily as a conscientious and attentive sitter.”
17. Gabrielle G.
“Gabe made sure my fur baby’s needs were met and more. Her and her partner in crime Rooster were able to come by when I needed them and went above in beyond to make sure my baby was okay and comfortable. She puts in the extra effort. She communicates, is flexible, and on time. I appreciate the time she puts into making sure baby is played with. I recommend her again and again.”
18. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
19. Jordan C.
“Jordan has taken care of my babies three times now and has always been great! She sends pictures and keeps me updated, and I’ve always felt comfortable leaving them in her care!”
20. Lynne F.
“Lynne took wonderful care of our pups and home while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and will definitely be booking her in the future.”
