“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”

“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”

“Elayna was so amazing!! During the pre-meeting, she came prepared with great questions. She kept us updated and sent us great pictures of our happy puppy over the weekend. We will definitely be requesting her services in the near future!”
“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”

“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”

“Claire was great! Was happy to have her stay with Colby while we were gone. She communicated well and I felt my dog was safe and well cared for with her. Would use her again for my dog needs!”

“This was the 3rd time Traisaun stayed at our home for multiple nights to care for our 2 dogs and cat. Our pets are always healthy and happy when we return. Traisaun also takes great care of our property and leaves our home in immaculate condition.”


“Cole was punctual, communicative and responsive. The animals looked happy and well taken care of when we returned! Will be reaching out again next time we need someone to watch them!”

“Kennedy was awesome. She was there for us when we had to book last minute because the person who was supposed to watch our dog bailed unexpectedly. She was receptive, considerate, kind, and communicative. I should mention that our baby is an English Bulldog. Kennedy understands the different needs of brachiocephalic breeds. And she was able to go that extra mile for us to properly care for our fur baby!”

“June did an excellent job staying with Windsor for a long weekend. June made sure Windsor played, walked, was fed and had everything he needed. Windsor even got to go on an adventure and meet some of June’s friends. June provided timely updates, asked questions to put Windsor’s needs first and demonstrated a clear care and love for animals. We will certainly have June watch Windsor in the future”

“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”

“Sampson had a great time with Allicia. Allicia kept us informed while we were gone and sent us a couple photos each day of Sampson. Would definitely recommend Allicia.”

“Natalie was extremely responsible and curteous watching over our home and our two pups. She kept us updated with daily pictures and a summary of the girls’ day which was very comforting. We especially appreciated her flexibility to stay another night when our flight home was canceled. We definitely recommend Natalie and will call on her again!”

“Our experience with Sydney was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout. When we got home, our younger pup kept looking around for her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy the girls felt. We came back to two relaxed dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. We’d gladly book again and recommend their services.”

“Mariah was prompt with her arrival and very attentive to our dogs. They were very happy. She sent us lovely updates and left our home clean. We would have her sit again in the future ✨️”

“Isabella stayed at my house for the week and was wonderful with my big pup. She was attentive and made sure to send me updates daily. Thank you so much for watching my fur baby!”

“My dog Serena fell in love with Regan. I came home to two well taken care of pets. Regan always sent me updates, and when I returned the house was clean and orderly. I will definitely use Regan again in the future.”

“So great! Helped me out in a pinch while I was away and the Dogsitter I had wasn’t showing up enough. Molina was super professional, great communication and feedback on Lance and what they were up to. 5 star care!”

“Laura was great. Our pets were at ease with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Megan is a gift. She took such good care of my babies while I was away. My senior Chihuahua gets pretty moody when I am away. He refuses to eat. Megan is magical and got him to eat. She also brought in my packages and put my pet food way. She is definitely a gifted person. Highly recommend.

Avery is great!! We have a very energetic, anxious, and goofy pittie, so we needed someone who’s comfortable with her. Upon meeting Avery, I knew she was a good choice! During our trip, I received photos, videos, and updates, which are very much appreciated for someone whose dog is their literal baby!

Julia was great! She stepped in when a different sitter canceled a week out from our trip. Our dog and cat both really liked her, the house was well cared for, and she communicated well when there were concerns. Would book with her again in the future for sure!

Jill did a fantastic job watching our two kitties for a week. She was very communicative and provided daily updates with pictures from play time. From the first meeting I knew she was a great fit- she seemed very sensitive to the cats and even brought them a treat. Jill was very attentive to their needs. As an added bonus, she watered our plants and left our house sparkling clean. I highly recommend Jill!

Danielle was great with Brick! She communicated really well from the start and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet, which made me feel confident leaving him in her care. While I was away, she sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Brick was comfortable and being well taken care of. I also felt completely comfortable having Danielle in my home. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure Brick was happy and cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Brick again!

Heather is an A+ sitter! Our home and cats were in great hands while we were on an 8 day international trip. Heather checked in every day to let me know how the boys were doing, and left everything exactly the way we left it. She also helped with making sure the trash got put out and other household things. Our cats were happy and healthy, and our home was safe and clean while we were gone. I’m so grateful for Heather and would 100% ask her to stay again!
