“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”
“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”
“Nichole was amazing! Great communication and gave us plenty of pics while we were gone to let us know our pups were well taken care of. We’d definitely like to have her be our regular sitter.”
“Rachel did an amazing job and she left my home better than I left it, lol!!! She was attentive and communicates everything and lots of pictures! My boys loved her and I felt like I could enjoy my time away! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again! We love her.”
“Lindsey was an amazing sitter for our two pups! Will definitely look to book her again! She communicated constantly and was very respectful of our place!”

“Jessica is great - she’s responsible, quick to answer texts, takes great care of my dog and my cat, and loves to be around animals. I’ve used her a few times and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”
“Natalie was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs weren’t left alone too long when I had a wonky travel schedule, and she was great at communicating about everything my pups were up to. I definitely recommend her!”
“Elisa is the sweetest human and took wonderful care of our home and two medium dogs during our vacation abroad! She was very communicative and sent photos multiple times a day. She spent a lot of time with our dogs outside (on daily walks and hanging out in the yard), playing with them, and cuddling them. She also collected our mail and helped to keep our plants alive during our 12-day trip. The house and—most importantly—our fur babies were in perfect shape when we got home. She is completely trustworthy, which helped us to have a worry-free trip.”

“Nikole is absolutely amazing! My dogs adore her and I think it’s safe to say she loves my dogs. She was dog sitting for us for 12 days while we were out of town and she always kept us updated and sent us photos of our boys! I would definitely recommend Nikole and will be using her again in the future!”
“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs.
