1. Eric K.

“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”


2. Cam L.

“Cam stayed in my house and cared for my lab-mix Onyx for 4 days. Onyx was comfortable and got her walks in, which enabled me to focus on my work trip. I’ll definitely be using Cam again.”


3. Mo F.

“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”


4. Jennifer B.

“Thanks to Jennifer, we went away for the weekend and didn’t have to worry ONCE about our dog or our apartment! She gave us plenty of updates and photos, and was so caring toward our pup—infact she even went above and beyond and got her a ball since we had mentioned ours went missing recently. How thoughtful! Honey was so happy and calm when we returned. Thank you Jennifer!!”


5. Julie-Anne D.

“Julie-Ann was so great with our dogs, so communicative with us, and so thoughtful that it's hard to express our gratitude. Both dogs are rescues and they obviously fell in love with Julie-Ann. We came home to two relaxed and happy pups. The house was well cared for and we are very very happy customers.”


6. paulina r.

“Paulina R. was great! My partner and I have never left our cats alone with someone who wasn't family before, and while we were very nervous about doing this for the first time, we needn't have worried with Paulina taking care of our babies. She made sure our 3 cats had meals on time, fresh water, got to play, and received lots of cuddles. She even somehow managed to make our really shy and anxious boy, Chompirras, feel safe enough to come out (he literally never comes out of hiding when strangers are at the house) and actually eat (he often goes on hunger strike for a day or two when we're not at home). Next time we're out of town, we'll be booking with Paulina :)”


7. Jen H.

“Jen was fantastic! She took great care of our pooches and our home while we were away. She kept in touch with updates, photos and videos. She did a great job with our two dog household, including feeding, exercise and medication schedules. Very excited that we're already booked for another stay in a few weeks. Highly recommend!”


8. Destinee K.

“Excellent service and trustworthy”


9. Sam D.

“Sam took FANTASTIC care of my needy puppy Hazel while I was away in Italy for 10 days. I was very nervous about leaving her for so long but Sam alleviated all my concerns by sending constant updates and pictures. He went above and beyond to make sure that Hazel was happy, well-exercised and socialized, and well-fed! I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I look forward to using his services again in the future.”


10. Jay R.
“Jay is a very caring and responsible pet owner. She takes great care of her cats and loves to play, snuggling and care for them. I’d recommend her to care for your precious fur babies! 😻🐶”


11. Charlotte C.

“Charlotte was an excellent cat sitter! She watched my two cats for a week and had no issues at all. I greatly appreciated all the pictures and updates from her stay and would happily choose her for future trips. Thank you!”


12. Haleigh G.


“We came home to a happy and well cared for dog! Haleigh sent us updates and pictures throughout the week to let us know how our dog was doing! We loved getting these updates.”


13. James M.

“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”


14. Emerie P.

“Emerie was awesome. She in my Siberian husky Miley Rose went for walks went to play in parks and got to live at home where she’s happiest. I will definitely look for Emerie to watch Miley on my next trip.”


15. Natalya D.

“Natalya took such great care of our dogs while we were gone overnight. They were so happy - we really appreciate her and the pupdates she gave us while we were gone!!!”


16. Samantha H.
“Sammi is always so very attentive and reliable when it comes to watching my cat, even when I'm going to be away for a week or more. The cat is always happy, fed on time, and litter scooped. Sometimes I think he doesn't want me back!”


17. Jacqueline W.


“Jackie house sat for us for a week and our dog couldn’t be happier. Having her there gave us tremendous peace of mind and really let us enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!”


18. Jessica K.

“Jessica K. took great care of our big baby while we were away. This was the first time we went away without him, but Jessica kept us updated and made sure our pup was happy and loved. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!”


19. Jessica W.

“Jess was fantastic and showed Clay a lot of attention while we were away. She was very quick to respond when we had questions and sent lots of pictures during her time with Clay. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur child while away from home.”


20. Molly P.

“We’ve used Molly a couple times now and our dog Layla loves her she even slept in bed with her which she hardly even does with my husband when I’m not home. She was able to extend her stay when our trip got messed up and has sent tons of pics and videos letting us know Layla is in good hands. We will continue to use Molly each time we go away or even for walks when we get stuck. She’s the best!”
