“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Victoria B.
“Our dogs love Vicki! She has been dog/house sitting for us over 15yrs. It’s very comforting to know when you are out of the country for 5 days your fur babies are in great care. I would definitely recommend her.”
3. Brenda E.
“Brenda was the perfect sitter for our two dogs. She followed our instructions well and spent a lot of time engaging with them. She took great care of the house, and it was probably cleaner when she left than it was when she arrived. We can’t wait to use her again!”

8. Madi B.
“Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!”
