“Olivia took great care of my dog Fritz while I was away for the weekend. I could see in the pictures and videos she sent me how happy he was to spend time with her. He got to do all sorts of fun stuff with her! She also treated my house very respectfully and I returned home to a cleaned, well cared for house. Next time I leave town, I hope Olivia will be available again!”
“Meg was wonderful with Mr. Dennis! He is an anxious boy and it was great knowing I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away. I got plenty of updates throughout my trip and and I know he was cared for!”
“We greatly appreciate Amy as we needed an in-house sitter for our pets on a short notice. She is experienced, kept us updated, and care for our pets like she would her own.”
“Hollis did an amazing job with our two medium to large size dogs for the weekend!! It was a last minute booking, and she was gracious enough to still make a meet and greet work. You could tell the dogs had been loved on when we arrived home. Communication was excellent and I loved getting pictures of our babies while we were away. Would not hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Maggie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and exercised every day. She took such loving end refill care of them. She took some great pictures and shared the on a regular basis.”
“Selena was great! She took the time to come meet Cooper before she stayed with him & communicated very well with cute photos. We would have her back to watch Cooper again anytime!”
“Loren took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She followed their care instructions thoroughly and she truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if the cats were well taken care of. I really appreciated her communication and truly loved all of the picture updates she sent me each day. Loren was overall wonderful and I would 100% request her help in the future.”
“Danielle was fantastic! We have two pups that have some trust issues, but they quickly warmed up to Danielle. Our pups appreciated her calm and confident attitude. We will definitely rebook!”
“Taylor was great at keeping us informed and loved the pictures she sent. Chloe enjoyed the walks during the nice weather. Will definitely use Taylor again if needed.”
“Tracey was wonderful. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and videos of both our 5 month old puppy and cat. She was very communicative throughout the entire process. Would recommend!”
“We have 5 dogs, our babies. They were happy and well taken care of. Janeesa sent us regular photos and videos of them which really made me feel good knowing they were happy. I highly recommend.”
“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”
“Kailyn was great when she dog-sat our two fur babies on a somewhat last-minute notice. We appreciated how easily our dogs took to her and how she sent us so many picture updates!”
“Ben provided an extended time (12 days) house-sitting both our dogs and home. He was very responsive and responsible. I highly recommend Ben… he's extremely courteous and conscientious.”
“We are so grateful for Holly! She stayed at our house with our cat over the holiday. We received daily photos and updates, and we can tell he had a good time with her while we were gone. I definitely recommend Holly for any cat and house sitting needs!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter. Naturally, we were a bit apprehensive. To entrust Matilde’s care for 5 days within our home to an outsider was a challenge. Yet, in the end we were most pleased with Jen’s thoughtful and sensitive care. She kept us well informed on Matilde’s status and wellbeing throughout the day. She was in tune to Matilde’s needs and understandable separation anxiety. Her many Matilde pictures sent were reassuring. We highly recommend Jennifer’s outstanding and caring services to other dog lovers.”
“Alanis is so amazing!! We have 3 huskies that Alanis took care of over winter break that very much appreciated all of the walks and attention! 10/10 hope to have Alanis again. :) <3”

Amy did a great job (again) watching our boy! We always get plenty of updates so we know exactly what is going on and feel completely comfortable that he is in good hands while we are away and always come home to a perfectly clean house, which is a lovely bonus. Thanks for taking great care of Jackson! He looks forward to his next hang session with you :)
I have a deep admiration for Isabel, appreciative of her nurturing and affection for animals, as well as her understanding and empathy. Upon relocating to Dayton with three of my beloved animals, I was experiencing immense anxiety and frustration due to our recent separation prior to the move. Isabel not only agreed to meet with us multiple times to familiarize herself with the animals before my departure, but also displayed exceptional responsiveness and compassion towards our situation. She diligently followed all provided instructions and consistently kept me informed of their well-being. Isabel's compassionate nature and willingness to accommodate our needs made this transition seamless and stress-free. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a reliable, caring, and devoted companion for your furry family members.
Margaret was great! She sent lots of pics of my dog and communicated very effective updates. I was nervous leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time but she put me at ease! I will definitely use her again. She understand my dogs quirks and managed accordingly. The house was left very tidy.
Hannah was a FANTASTIC dog/house sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures of our precious fur-baby and was so quick with communication and check-ins. Knowing she was there to keep things running smoothly while we were out of town gave us so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again! Thank you, Hannah, for allowing me to sleep knowing our doggo was so loved by you!
Shannon is the best of the best! As someone who truly believes that her dogs are her babies, I couldn’t ask for anything more from Shannon. She promptly sends updates at the frequency you request, reaches out with any questions she has and took the best care of our babies. Our dogs even got sad and whined upon her departure. We can’t wait to ask Shannon to watch them again.
