“Penny was fantastic doing drop in visits and walks for my two dogs! They are a rambunctious pair and she seemed to handle it all with ease. Plan to utilize her services again in the future if she's game!”
“Danielle has been so awesome with our dog who is shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people! She is so responsive and has been great to work with! I feel very comforted knowing our dog is in her good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”
“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”
“I am so thankful for Rhiana! Updates and photos made me feel so much better about being away from Silva. He’s been meowing non-stop since I got home, telling me about his week with Rhiana. He clearly had a great time with his Rihana’s visits! Highly recommend Rhiana!”
“Bertram is reliable, responsible. and wonderful with my puppy,(who is a handful). My little guy is in safe hands with Bertram. I highly recommend him.”
“Miriah took great care of my 2 cats despite the fact it was snowing and difficult to drive to my during the snow storm. I will definitely be requesting Miriah again in the future.”
“James is an excellent pet sitter!! He was so good with my dogs, every picture showed them happy and well. He was wonderful at communicating with us, and really allowed us to not worry about the dogs and enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend him as an outstanding pet sitter!!!”
“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”
“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Emilee was great at checking in on my cat Frank! Frank is a bit skittish with other people so I was surprised that Emilee was able to take a few pictures of petting Frank! She also stayed over her 30 minute time frame to keep him company longer. She fed him, cleaned the litter box, and was even nice enough to bring in my mail. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Chelsea is great! She checks in before her scheduled time to figure out details. She sends pictures and updates, which puts my mind at ease. She even checked in on the day I was returning to offer and extra drop-in in case I was getting in late. I really appreciate her kindness!”
“My kitty had a great time with Robert. She is typically a bit wary around males but warmed up real quick when meeting him. She also had a bit of accident when I was away and Robert went above and cleaned it up with my pet vac. He even told me to keep an eye out for her health in case it was a sign of something worse. I definitely feel comfortable leaving my feline in his care in the future.”
“Charlie can be an extra handful being the tiny grumpy old man that he is but Caroline handled him with ease. He really liked her and she sent fantastic updates and pictures and I would trust her with him anytime.”
“Once again Kelsie came to the rescue to take care of Augusta. She got her out of her hiding place and gave Augusta some quality care. Just awesome!”
“Christopher is everything you could want in a pet sitter! He doted on my dogs and kept them safe and happy. He was conscientious and reliable, and took great care of the house and all dog-related messes. Also great with communication and flexibility. I would happily work with him again!”
“Caitlin was great and our dogs looked like they had a great time.”

“She took excellent care of the cats, would love to have her come do check-ins again!”
“Doris is great! I am a nervous helicopter cat owner, but she is reliable and timely. She gives my girl lots of attention and sends me reassuring details so i can see how my monster is fairing while I’m away.”
“We came to town for a wedding and needed someone to come let our dog out. Rachael was excellent. Our girl was not on her best behavior at Racheal handled it like a pro. I felt fully comfortable with Rachael around my pups and would recommend her again and again.”
