1. Natalee C.
“This was our second time having Natalee dog sit for us. She did an incredible job watching our two dogs at our house while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent regular photos and updates. She treats our dogs like they are her own and it gives us immense peace of mind to have someone so thoughtful take care of them. Can't recommend Natalee enough!!!”
2. Becky G.
“Becky was super sweet to my babies and took very good care of them while I was away. She was very responsive when I sent questions on the status of the babies emotional well-being and also made sure to send pics and give a brief description of the activities of the day. She is so understanding and respectful. I appreciate her coming to care for my babies! Thank you, Becky!”
3. Gage W.
“Gage was super nice, Prince liked him instantly. Thanks again!”
4. Caroline B.
“Caroline gives me so much confidence that Archie is in good hands and that I can leave without worry. She deeply cared for Archie and he had so much fun while Caroline was watching him over a couple of days. She gave daily updates and send photos during the stay which were awesome to receive. I have already rebooked her for another upcoming trip and will become a main caretaker of Archie when needed.”
5. Tori W.
“Tori did a great job watching my cat Sherman! Sent lots of pictures and videos, followed directions, and left the house clean! She also communicated well throughout the stay.”
6. Rusul A.
“Rusul loves animals and my dog Lady loved spending time with her. I will use her again and again, she is excellent and I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home.”
7. Kenzie C.
“Kenzie was great to work with!! She was very responsive and took great care of our 2 dogs and cat! She was able to give the dogs their medications without issues and also sent us updates! Will definitely use her again(:”
8. Emily B.
“Ellie recently had back surgery and Emily did a great job caring for her, making sure she didn't climb stairs or jump on or off the furniture. I highly recommend Emily!”
9. Brad E.
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
10. Chloe A.
“I can always count on Chloe to take care of my babies when things pop up! For instance, there was a last minute situation and I asked Chloe if she can take care of my pups and she gave a quick response that she can do it! Chloe is very responsive and reliable!”
11. Barclay N.
“Entrusting someone that you’ve never met with the responsibility of caring for your pets and home while you’re out of town can be daunting but I’m really glad we took a chance on Barclay. Barclay did a super job giving our dog the attention, activity, and level of care that he’s accustomed to. Barclay also did a great job with our chickens and other basic house sitting tasks. Definitely would recommend Barclay and we hope to work with him again!”
12. Cara F.
“Cara was exactly the kind of person I was hoping for when I knew I would need a pet sitter. She was very communicative, responding quickly and thoroughly, warm & caring, and aware that our fur families aren't just pets. Cara went the extra mile to reassure me (an anxious person who has only had friends and family pet sit before) and keep me updated on the goings on of each of my pets (with the most adorable pictures!) so that I had the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. She was incredibly patient and understanding with my anxious rescue pup and put up with my bratty teenage cats. Would wholeheartedly recommend--your fur kids will be in good hands!”
13. Emmily K.
“Emmily was very sweet to our pets and even formed a bond with our dog who is very shy! She also did a wonderful job looking after our home. We would love to have her come back again next time we go out of town!!!”
14. Allison R.
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
15. Alex J.
“Alex bonded with my dog Sunny as she started following him from room to room. I made me happy since she is a very shy dog that does not easily take to people. Alex did a great job with her and I will hire him again should I go out of town. He was very professional and kept me updated about how she was doing and sent pictures. As a side note he even found my lost TV remote. Thanks Alex”
16. Michelle N.
“Michelle is wonderful with my dogs. She keeps in touch and follows anything I ask her to do with my dogs. The house is always neat and clean when I return. Will use her again soon.”
17. Rachel B.
“Rachel did a great job for us! She watched our two dogs for us while we were away. She sent us pictures, kept us updated on how they were doing and just generally kept our minds at ease while we were away. We will be using her services in the future and would recommend her to others.”
18. Elizabeth L.
“Elizabeth did a awesome job pet sitting while we were away for the weekend. She took excellent care of our pups and home. Highly recommend and we would love to have her stay again.”
19. Emma P.
“Emma went above and beyond and was amazing to have at our house when we had to book last minute! Everything was in order and tidy when we got back. Communication was great and every picture sent our doggo Sweets looked so happy and definitely very well loved! She even watered our plants and they are just thriving! Thanks for showing our pup love and care like she was your own!”
20. Toni R.
“Toni is the sweetest person to humans as well as pets. I highly recommend her for this job. She has watched my dogs on several occasions and did a wonderful job.”
